cess, but would have sped off in some
more hopeful direction. Naturally, he
expected Bragg to do this, and he did
not propose to allow the commander of
the rebel forces to get away unscathed.
Grants overruling trait was an eager
ness to hurt his enemy whenever in
striking distance, and the thought that
Bragg might elude his blow was un-
bearable. Yet nothing could be done
until Sherman could bring his army up
In the meanwhile Grant was most So
licitous as to Burnside's fate, tho the
latter assured him that he could take
care of himself. and had plenty of pro-
visions with which to stand a siege. In
spite of the fact that Longstreets ad-
vance cut off all communication be-
tween Chattanooga and Knoxville,
Grant managed to keep pretty well IN
touch with Burnside by telegraphlng
back to Nashville and thence to Lex
ington. When Burnside advanced into
East Tennessee the telegraph line fol-
lowed him by the way of Cumberland
Gap Gen. Orlando B. Wilcox was in
command of the troops in the Cumber-
land Gap region, with his outposts
thrown out to Maynardville within a
short distance of Knoxville. In this
way messages sent to Cen WILCOX
could be rushed through by couriers
or Tennesseeans, and his replies receiv-
ed. The President, Secretary of War,
and Gen. Halleck were in hectic of
apprehension as to Burnside, and piled
Gen. Grant sometimes almost hourly
with kilograms, to which Grant could
only reply with general hopefulness.
A Military Absurdity.
One OF the prlma-facie absurdities
which engrossed a great deal of the at
tention OF the authorities both at Rich
mond and Washington was a fear on
the part of the latter that Longstreet
would turn aside from Knoxville to
drive off Wilcox from Cumberland Gap
and invade Kentucky, carrying panic TO
the people of Louisville and Cincinnati.
Gen. Longstreet seems to have seriously
entertained this project, and Jefferson
Davis and his Secretary of War gave
him more or less encouragement. Pos
sibly they originated it, for II had Jeff
Davis look. 1t became known at Wash
ington, and gave Halleck and Stanton a
vast deal of uneasiness. Gen. Grant,
however, worried not bit. His trans
lucent military thought permitted no
lodgment for such folly. He did not
believe that Longstreet seriously pro-
posed such thing; and if he had, he
would have been only too glad to have
assisted him in carrying it out and
starving his army in the 200 miles of
rugged mountains and sterile, absolute
ly 1oodiess country between Cum ber
land Gap and Lexington. Nov. 20 he
sent this dispatch to Wilcox:
IF you can communicate with Gen.
Burnside, say to him that our attack on
Bragg Will commence In the morning.
II successful, such move will be made
as I think will relieve East Tennessee,
If he can hold out. Longstreet passing
thru our lines to Kentucky need not
cause alarm. He would find the country
SO bare that he would lose his trans
portatiOn and artillery before reaching
Kentucky, and meet such force before
he got thru that he could not return.
Bragg Passes a Bluff.

Gen. Bragg, under flag of truce, a note
which read: "As there may be still some

OLD SPANISH FORT GONE.
Destruction by Fire of the Famous
Landmark of New Orleans.
tNew Orleans Times-Democrat.l

Spanish Fort, on Lake Pontchar-
train, between West End and Milne
burg, is no more. Fire on Saturday
night destroyed the Casino and the old
buildings which for the last century
had withstood the assaults of the lake
winds and which marked the spot
where Gen. Jackson landed when ne
fastened from Tennessee in 1914 to
take command of the army which was
to defend the city against the English.
During the civil war the fort was gar
risoned with several companies. cannon
were put in place. and military precau-
tions were taken to make it a great
defensive barracks. but it was never
used. Many of the cannon are still to
be seen on the grounds half sunk in
the earth and rusting in the shadow of
the trees.
Fifteen years ago Spanish Fort was
a select Summer resort. Here the old
of New Orleans especially loved
to go. The rise of West End, however,
with its new attractions and new Glen
tele, deprived it of its pristine sp1endor,
and gradually the old fort sank from
public notice into oblivion To-day it
is remembered only as one of the old
and interest attaches to 1t
only by reason of its historical associa-
tons.

works as Osterhaus's and Cruft's Divi-
sions renewed their demonstrations OF
intention to cross the creek. Crosses
Brigade was to advance directly against
the point where the wagon bridge
crossed Lookout Creek drive the enc
my from ii and reconstruct the bridge.
and he performed this duty very gai
lantly. The heavy firing directed the
attention of the enemy to this point of
attack. and reinforcenents began to
come around the nose by the various
roads to mass against Grose. A strong
body took up position behind the rail-
road embankments, which made nat
ural breastwork, and swept the field IN
front with heavy fire of musketry.
Osterhaus was directed to send Gen.
Woods Brigade about 500 yards up the
creek, where the cover of the hills and
trees would enable il to approach close
to the stream and possibly throw a
bridge across it. Osterhaus also dis
covered n position by which he could
use a section of 20-pounder Parrots to
enfilade the rebel positions. The bat
terry on Bald Hill enfiladed the railroad
and main wagon road. The battle be-
came very hot. with continuous artil-
lery firing on both sides. during which
time Geary and Whitaker were driving
the flank of the enemy down che valley
towards the Point. BY IL o'clock
Geary's men were opposite the bridge
which Osterhaus had at last completed,
and Wood and Grose rushed across the
river and formed on Geary's left to add
to the weight of his attack. This took
the lower line of intrenchments in re-
verse, many of the rebels We're cap
tured there, and the rest rushed back
up the slopes where they were met by
reinforcements hurrying forward TO
stop Geary'S impetuouS advance. All
of our artillery was working feverishly
to break up the enemy and demoralize
his resistance. There was an intensely
bitter fight from tree to tree and boul-
der to boulder for over an hour, when
Geary pushed the enemy out of the
woods into the open fields around the
Craven House. where they became 4
fine mark for the guns on Moccasin
Point, and fled across the unsheltered
space to the trees beyond. Osterhaus
gathered his men together and made a
gallant assault, which pushed the enc
my still further, but at 2 o'clock Hook
er thought it prudent to halt. The
mist was again setting down, the
movements of the enemy could not be
seen, Hookers men were nearly out OF
ammunition. and he was properly anx-
ious about the force that Bragg might
suddenly hurl against him from Chatta-
nooga Valley below. His command was
very much disorganiZed by the long
continued fighting and over such pre-
cipitous ground, and it was wiser to
halt and take breath and counsel. He
sent a message to Thomas informing
him of his need of ammunition, who al
once responded by sending back Car
Inns Brigade to reinforce Hooker, car
rying at the. same time all the ammu-
milton the men could. Hooker imme-
diately proceeded to make his position
secure by log and stone breastworks
and abatis.

ate officers, watching from distant
points, realized that an attack was in
tended. The men in the works made
a stubborn resistance, but they fought
alone and without help from their COM
rades. There was sharp struggle, in
which HaZen's Brigade suffered most
severely. but the all-important key
point was gained with the loss of only
% killed and 161 wounded. Wood
captured ia prisoners and the colors
of the 2Sth Ala. with $50 small arms.
Sheridan's Division moved in echelon
with Woods carrying that part of the
line in front of It, which was fmme-
diately fortified against any return at
tack. Gen. Howard was directed to
move along Citico Creek to Granger's
left and carry the works in that direc-
ton. He formed his corps with
SchurZ's Division on his right and
Steinwehr's on his left, and succeeded
in carrying the works with but little
loss. Steinwehr's Division had three
killed and about 20 wounded, mainly
in the 33d N. j., which was under fire
for the first time and which behaved
creditably. Schurz lost one killed and
II wounded. Thus the whole advanced
line of the rebels was broken and
thrown back to the foot of Mission
Ridge. and a position gained of great
embarrassment to Bragg in any future
movement
Gen Grant ordered the ground so
optalned to be held, and the troops

at the sudden enlargement of their en-
vironment. Two short hours of that

chagrin at losing Orchard Knob and
their sense of its importance by open-
Ing a fire from all their batteries on

TOO great for serious effect, and Woods
men speedily sheltered themselves py
reversing the works their enemies had
erected.
