CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 25th, 1863
The success at our arms 10 day il
very brilliant. The enemy is driven
from every position. We assailed
every time with single exception. All
portions of our army fought splendidly,
but the piercing of the enemy's center,
by Woods, Sheridan's and Bayard's
divisions. aud their occupation OF Mis-
sionary Ridge, is regardedas one of the
grandest exploits of the war.
Hookrr's capture of Lookout Noun.
tain yesterday, enabled him to sweep
around onthc Rassvilc road to-day,
and occnpy the right of the ridge, and
place a force upon the rebel left.
A part of Shrrman's force, with How.
ard's corps, went rO"nd between the
rnd al. Missionary Ridge aud The river :;
thus placing themselves directly upon
the rebel righr. The situation is one
nf great Interest, and We scarcely kn0w
how the Union arms can fail Ia achieve
a complete tiiumrh over the rebels.
r j., the fight on nur left we met with
ir;fiins misfortune, brigade of John
Z. Smiths division having been re-.
pulsed in attempting To carry q rebel
battery on Tunnel Hill.
l. Our l..ssrs are comparatively small,
and will not probably exceed 1900
killed, wounded aud missing, in the en-
tire, three days battle.
