cinity Of Tunnel Hill. Here 1t soon became
evident that the, rebels were resolved to
make q stand. The cavalry bad advanced
some distance ahead of the infantry, but
as soon as the latter was up in sufficient
numbers to support, the cavalry advanced
in column along The road, in plain view Of

planted the day before No enemy had, as
yet, been observed, when suddenly bate

from the explosion Of she'll. No confu

infantry came up and were deployed in

In the meantime our artiIlers came up,
and Capt. Hotchness, Of the I'd Minnesota
Battery, placing two ten FOUNDER tarrotts
on an eminence to the right of the road,
opened on the enemy with some OBJECT, les
sensd, however, by the apparent ipperiec-
ton of the she'll, but few ofwhich exploded.
Capt. Harris, of the 9th Indiana Battery,
afterwards placed two OF his pieces to the
right Of the road and assisted in dislodg ng
the rebel battery from its position. Our
infantry now began to advance, General
Morgan taking the rebels on the right,
and boldly marching along the crest Of
Tunnel Hill, completely TUNED the works
of the enemy, who fed withou firing gun.
Their retreat was rendered the more neces

eastern side were the deserted camps of

1t was now o'clock p. m, and the
rebels were flying rapidly along the Dalton
road, our troops pursuing, but there was no
further fighting until we we're within
three miles of Dalton, here the rebels were
found very strongly posted in a gorge be.
tween high precipitous range of noun.
tains, called Rocky Falls Through this
gorge runs the railroad. Our advance was
met by sharp musketry fire, but this was
replied to with such effect that the rebel
line was broken, and driven back on their
second line.
Immediately after this the enemy com.
menced the firing of shot and shell from
six pieces of artillery, which compelled
our skirmishers to retire. The rebel fire
WAS kept up with vigor until sundown.
Gen. Davis advanced and took up posi-
tion at the mouth of the gorge. when night
coming on, the combat ended. e.
We may have some heavy fighting to
morrow, until we, in some way, turn the
enemy's position, which now seems scarcely
practicable.
The loss on Both sides, during these i'm
portant operations, has been small.

On Monday strsng column of infantry

The movement was commenced yester-
day morning. The cavalry in advance had
several lively skirmishes with the enemy's
mounted force, consisting of the lst Ten
nessee rebels. They were, however, con-
tinually pushed back until about A o'clock
P. NJ, when our forces came in sight of
Tunnel Hill here conflict commenced in
which great deal of fighting was done,
especially by the enemy. There was little
loss on either side.
Col. Harrison having pushed far towards
the front and seeing that the rebels greatly
outnumbered his force retired until he was
met by our infantry advancing. Certain of
support Col. Harrison again pressed for
ward and drove the rebels prscipitately out
of the town of Tunnel Hill. Tne enemy
had an entire brigade Of cavalry under
charge of Gen. Wheeler with feur pieces of
artillery, and opening upon US with the lat
ter our progress was checked. As soon as
our own artillery came up its fire was di-
rected principally at Col. Boone's rebel
cavalry who had advanced upon Col. Har-
rison's right. 1t being now dark our forces
retired about four miles in the direction of
Dalton to await supplies.
In the meantime Gen. Stanley command
