tanooga, two brigades OF rebels and one
battery retiring before our advance

which they could JOIN Bragg's force.
At an early hour yes terdaY morning, a
force from Chattanooga, nnder Brig. Gen.
Hszen crossed the Browns Ferry, throwing
out skirmishers, and began the assault Of
Lookout Mountain, at what Is known as the
