YANKEE ACCOUNT OF SATURDAYS FIGHT II
NORTHWESTERN GEORGIA.


RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 23d, 1868.
Northern papers of the 2ls inst, have been received
They contain nothing of interest except the Yankee

How Victories aro Achieved.

The Chattanooga Rebel submits the following practi.
cal observations
Our experience in the previous battles Of the war has
taught this fact that he who longest endures and
most pertinaciousy holds out generally wins the day
We trust commanders impressed with this fact
If had held out few hours longer the memora-
bic Sunday evening Shio, should have driven the
enemy from their guns at Pittsburg landing into the
Tennessee river. They covered by their gunboats
then-they have nothing OF that sort at Chattanooga
If had held out day longer at Murfreesboro' we
might have been in Nashville the following night.
We have ample testimony that every Federal soldier in
that army was whipped, except Rosencrans, who
heard to remark, when all around him considered the
fortunes OF the day lost that he held out TWEEN
tyfour hours longer, the rebels would fall back" And
he did hold out with dtmor4zed army, and himself
at the very time considering the best plan for
fu retreat from the field. We trust our men will bear
this 10 mind in the coming battle. Go into the fight
with the willingness and determination TO fight whole
week if necessary. Reckless daring accomplshes
great deal in battle-but not more than bulldog te
nacity and endurance.
