works Of the rebels, and with great success.
On the 23d the first line Of rebel rifle pits
were carried. On the cath, Hooker carried
the north slope Of Lookout Mountain, the
enemy losing abou. 600 men. The same
day Sherman carried the northern end of
Missionary Ridge. On the same night Bragg
evacuated the summit Of Lookout Mountain,
Details are mcager. For tire magnitude Of
the operations, the loss of life is not given as
large. That of the Federals is stated from
three to five hundred, and soms twenty y-iye

and compelled Bragg to evacuate all his
positions on lookout Mountain and Missionl

two cannon and G,O0O prisoners have been
captured BY Grant. The strong positions
above mentioned were carried by assault at

greatest gallantry and enthusiasm. The
accounts represent the rebels as re,realing
in misunderstanding stores, bridges, and
throwing away arms and abandoning artil

but little fighting, but were early taken with
"a big scare.
