HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT AND
ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE,


Chattanooga, Tenn. May s, 1864
DEAR HnDRETH One more turn of
the wheel of fortune has brought me
mp at Chattanooga, so long the base
ofthe enemy's operations in Tennessee,
and the spot rendered immortal by
Gen. Grant. Looking from my room
| can see Lookout Mountain, where
Hooker had his fight among the clouds.
| can SEQ Mission Ridge, famous for
that gallant assault, and winding by
the base of Lookout the Tennessee
shows like silver belt encircling the
Cumberland Mountains.
Gen. Mcpherson, has gone to the
front, at Gordon's Gap. The whole
army is slowly advancing and get
ting into position for the fight that is
now hourly expected, and will take
place soon, unless, as some think,
johnson abandons Tunnel Hill and re-
treats beyond Buzzard's Roost. Our
boys are in the best of spirits and con.
fident of success.
The Army of the Cumberland docs
not think of Sherman, as they really
ought, although he aeM march an army.
They hang to "Old Rosy" and are
constantly laudiDg him to the seventh
heaven. A
l am confident, however, that Sher-
man will either give Johnson a good
threshing or make him evacuate
everything and beat hasty retreat
for some less exposed position within
the interior of the bogus Confederacy.
Yesterday l visited the field Of
Chickamauga. The trees still show
marks Of the desperate struggle. The
trenches in which sleep the fallen
brave, are in shameful condition, and
emit horrid smell, while the ground
is strewn with the bones of the ami
mails killed. The field is nine miles
from Chattanooga, in a southeast d.
rection. us
Your readers will reccollect that af.
ter the return of the army from Cicka-
manga, the rebels followed close be-
