of the onemy, multiplied by fresh numbers at

Missionary Ridge, ,ml opening a way into the

This cut the aimy in twain, and when it was

O.ir works at the foot, ot Missionary Ridge
extend along a lino of two miles in length.
They are built ot heavy timbers, stone and
fence rails, morticed together with ciay, and
about, live feet high. Behind them the bill
rises in a gentle slope, but rough and uneven.
In front the ground is open and level, hut rocky

occupied by the remaining strength of the ar

iticcessful expedition against Lookout on Tues

tombatants, being five to one—proceeded on

Ct Thvtday awning thsro was no regular

| eb tenable, oar troops fell back in good order
|to a more defensible position. Gen. Bragg a
‘ headquar'.ers are now at Ringgold. The enemy
has again commenced his advance, but is mere
ly following up his ground. The further we
draw him from the base of his supplies will be
to our advantage. It is said the enemy has
possession of Cleveland, and that our commu
nication with Longstreet is entirely cut off.
This is doubtful, but admitting the fact, we
have assurances that Longstreet has probably
by this conqxdled the surrender of Burnside,
which would enable Longstreet to come down
on Giant’s flank and roar witn disastrous effect.
From the Intelligencer we gather the an
nexed : -
The loss of the enemy is reported as being
absolutely fearful. Sherman’s corps was cut to
pieces, and the remnant of it driven across tne
Tennessee river in a perfect panic.
We learn from several reliable sources that
our loss iu artillery o.i the left is more than
counterbalanced bv our captures on the right,
I nearly at! the artillery of Sherman s corps
! having been abandoned in their flight across
; 'he Tennessee river.
The result cf this ha tie has not shaken our
belief in General Bragg's anility, in Hie least.
He could not perform anything more with the
small army at his commaefl’, and although he
h is met with a reverse, the fact, of the enemy
being unable to press his advantage, and the
statements of reliable eye-witnesses attest the
immense slaughter of the enemy, and their
prostrationin strength by the late three days’
battle at Chattanooga.
Tho Atlanta Register comments thus on the
result:
** she facts room io be that while one wing of
our army «hipped tho enemy driving them
even across th» *>»» «£»-> .Jili u.
f’-' tn its position, and henco there was no rea
son why tho army should remain in front of
Chattanooga, even had it been possiblo to do so.
Grant’s army cannot leave Chattanooga It
has not, and cannot get supplies to enable it to
undertake a campaign into the interior of Geor
gia. Raids may threaton us, but surely we can
rely upon Gov. Brown’s forces to repel bodies
of cavalry. It is as probable that Bragg will
march into East Tennessee, as that he will re
treat to Atlanta. He had long ago, as we have
seen it stated, selected a halting place when
ever outnumbered and outflanked at Chatta
nooga. From his dispatches to Gen. Cooper,
it querns that he his reantied the position <le
i-ignatcd. The army is not retreating, and will
not, without the fiercest battle of tho war.—
touch is our conviction.
i he following items we gather from the At
lant and Marietta papers :
A Yankee prisoner states that Gen. Grant
tore up the bridges across the Tennessee at
Chattanqpgo anil urilered his men to advance,
tolling them that th.-y should whip the Rebels
or perish with tin swor l. Under thisstimulus,
they fought with unwonted fury and success.
II Longstreet has a- complished his work at
Knoxville, he can turn back to the aid of Gen.
Biagg and turn our apparent disaster into a
glorious victory for us.
The Federal.- are said to have advanced m
echelon in co uiun, by divisions, and their whole
force is supposed to have numbered one hun
dred aim 'wen;y thousand men.
Ali parties from the field of battle coneurin
tho statement that tho Federate have been se
verely punished.
The Federal cavalry have cutoff all railroad
and telegraphic communication with our forces
under Longstreet at Knoxville.
The Federals by their success have gained
one point—the no disturbed possession of Chat
tanooga and the Ruilrooil to Bridgeport and
Nashville. Here he will winter and accumu
late supplies for the spring and summer cam
paign, unless he can by some means, bo engi
neered out of the place.
T he Yankee loss on our right, in the engage
ment at Chattanooga on the 25th, is estima
ted by our Generals at 20,000 killed and
wounded.
Ttie editor of tfie Confederacy has had a
conversation with a Mr. Simmons, Chaplain of
the Eleventh Georgia, Andersons Brigade, who
is just from Knoxville. When he left
r|oio* around tko oitj-, which
was completely invested. I'revious to his de
parture from Longstreet’s army, there had
been lighting at Kingston, on the river, between
a portion of our mounted force and a Yankee
regiment and one battalion, commanded by
the notorious Colonel Bird. Wheeler was or
dered down to Kingston Monday, and on the
Tuesday following heaving tiring of artillery
and musketry was hoard ia that direction, by
Mr. S., from Loudon. Mr. Rimmons left Loud
on Tuesday, and learning that three thousand
of the enemy from Grant’s army was at Cleve
land and advancing, ho changed his course,
and came through in a wagon to Dalton. The
information about the Yankee force at Cleve
land came through reports irorn citizens, and
captured Yankee prisoners.
An attack was intended to have been mado
upon Knoxville Tuesday night, which was
prevented, from the fact that the onemy had set
tire to a line of vacated frame houses close to
their works, in order that they might not serve
a protection to an assaili g party. The light
from the conflagration was such as to expose
to view auy movement ou the part of our
for es. Mr. S. describes the scene as most im
pressive, the country being lighted up for mi
les. It was bel eved to be the intention of
General Longstreet to attack tho works on
College Hill. Two regiments had volunteered
to lead lire assault, under command of Gen.
: Little, but the moveim nt was disconcerted by
the binning of tne buildings The works of
the enemy, bristling with guns, can be distinct-
I ly seen trout our lines.
A correspondent of the Confederacy, writes
thus under date of near Knoxville Nov. 20 :
Wo have reinforcements coming, I hear, and
I have no doubt wo will take the place with all
tbo troops and stores, Tho boys have made
some pretty good hauls a. ready in the way of
sutler's wagons.
W o have scouts from Big Creek Gap, who
report 18,000 head of hogs at that dace, and
the scout of eight men drove 3,000 of them
hrongh the gap this way, and put them in a
lot.
B c are ordered to cook up two days’ t ations,
and I suppose we are to go after these hogs.
FUOUVtO SBURG.
I The city is at present garrisoned by negroes,
and Yankee rule daily becomes more severe.
The work of making fortifications still con
tinues.
Gen. McArthur is said to be in command of
the. city. Gen. Dennis, who formerly com
manded at Big Black is also at Vicksburg.
there at present about 25,000 Yankee troops
with two Brigades of negroes quartered in
\ ickiburg. The latter are employed in clean
ing the streets and digging two new lines of
mtrenehmints—one on the inside and the other
on ihe outside of the old ones made by our
army, which will certainly make the city al
t most impregnable.
The citizens, though seemingly subdued, are
as confident as ever of the final triumph of
] our cause. r
j It is thought the design of the enemy is to
torm « junction with troops from Memphis,
j somewhere between Grenada and Canton, take
; p. ssesston of tho cer.trail Railroad, and hold
j it as far down Jackson.
„ fr m Mexico.
The French army, now under the command
j of Gen Bazaine. had been divided into three
j divisions. Gen Miramon commands the third,
which consists principally of renegade Mexicans
j under Marques and others. Saligny was soon
to leave for France.
The French forces have been defeated a-id
driven back in Huestaco.
The French forces at Tampico are surrounded
by Mexicans and it is thought will be captured.

which forty-cne passed over without exploding.
One soldier was killed, and three wounded on
Friday by the bursting of shell. On Saturday

The number of rifled shots fired at Sumter
Saturday from Gregg was twenty three, of
which seven missed ; and the number ot shells
from the mortar battery two hundred and
thirty-eight, ox which ninety nine missed.
Saturday night one hundred and forty-nine
rifled shots were fired, forty-five of which ex
ploded alter passing the fort.
During Saturday the enemy again opened
on the city, and threw about twelve shells.
Between twelve and two o’clock Saturday tho
firing on the city was tenewed, and eighteen
shells thrown, doing comparative little injury.
Only one person was killed -a negro woman.
A spirited fight took place Sunday afternoon
between Gregg and Wagner, on the enemy's
side, and Forts Moultrie and Johnson, with
Batteries Bee and Simians, on ours. Gregg
opened heavily on Moultrie, and Wagner on
Johnson and Simkins. Our batteries did some
remarkably accurate shooting, frequently com
pelling the enemy to retreat under cover. The
engagement lasted several hours -and ceased at
, dark. During tho light the bombardment of
Sumter was discontinued.
The number ‘of rifled shots fired at Fort
Sumter Sunday was four, all of which struck;
the number of mortar shells one hundred and
forty three, of which sixty-three missed.
Sunday night ninety-four rifled shots were
fired, of which twenty-four missed.
On Monday seven rifled shots were fired,
and one hundred and ninety-two mortar shells,
nf which eighty-one missed.
During Monday night one hundred and sev
enty rifled shells were fired at Fort Sumter, of
which sixty-two missed.
Oil Tuesday only two rifled shots were fired
at Sumter, both of which missed. The number
of mortar shells was ninety-eight, of which
thirty three missed. On Tuesday night one
hundred and sixty-six rifled shots were fired,
of which ono hundred and fifteen missed ; and
seventeen mortar shells, nine of which missed
On Wednesday ten rifled shots were fired a
Sumter, of which three missed; and eleven
mortar shells, of which three missed. On Wed
nesday night there were two hundred and forty
two rifled shots, of which eighty-eight missed.
On Thursday there were twenty-tiiiee rilled
shots, of which five missed; and forty eight
mortar shells, of which eighteen missed.
On Thursday night one hundred and sixty
nine rilled shells Were thrown at Sumter.
Ninety-two of these missed the fort.
On Friday one hundred end seven rifled
shells wore tired, of which fifty missed, and one
hundred and five mortar shells, or which lorty
missel. On this day, also, the enemy opened,
for the first time, with Columbiads, firing fif
teen shots, of which three missed.
A rather heavy fire was also directed at
Jame 6 Island, and, at about half-past 11, a. nt.,
another attempt was made to bombard the
city. About eight shells were thrown within
the space of a hall hour, hut no damage was
done. From the rapidity of this fire, we infer
that the enemy has at least several guns tear
ing on the town.
The bombardment iH regarded with indiffer
ence by our citizens, and, with our boys, it, is a
matter of both fun and profit. A lad ol' some
twelve years sold, last week, a lot of brass
collected from tbe Yankee shells, which, with
in a few hous of the sale, had threatened to
break his calculating little pate. One would
think, from the joyous manner in which the
urchins, generally, follow the progress of these
fhissiles, that they regard a bombardment as a
display of pyrotechnics, got up expressly for
their amusement.
FROM MI6SI9HIFFI.
A letter from Holly Springs to the Appeal,
dated Oct. 28th, says, thirty or forty of the
enemy dashed into town about a week previous
and captured some Confederate soldiers who
were at home on furlough. Certain disloyal
people give tho Federals all tho information
possible in regard to our movements.
Oral. Johnson is nt present In Mississippi.
He reviewed his forces at Clarion a few days
since
Illicit cotton trading with Mem-ihis is openly
carried on by some planters in North Missis
sippi. Greenbacks wero all the rage.
The military authorities are repairing the
Central raiiread from Water Valley to the Tal
lahatchie River, and (rainswill soon be running
as far north as the latter place.
The citizens of Yazoo county, Miss., have
been represented as being disloyal and untrue
to the gieat cause of Southern independence.
This is a vilo slander on as bravo and patriotic
a people ns ever breathed the pure air of
heaven. Yazoo county lias uot only furnished
eleven full companies for the war, but lias
clothed them during the entire campaign.
Such a spirit of patriotism and firm resistance
pervades the entire population, that there is
not a single man, woman or child but what
would rather die than show by word or deed
that, they preferred Yankee tyranny to South
ern independence.
For weeks the enemy have been pouring
over the Memphis and < harleston railroad in
shoals, draining this department, and hurrying
on to reinforce their defeated army in Ten
nessee; they have now ceased; no more Fede
ral troops can be spared from here, and ‘‘old
Slow Trot/' now thinks he is ready for Captain
Bragg.
Gen. McPherson has contracted his lines,
burned his pontoon bridges at Messenger’s
Ferry, and lias drawn his forces hack within
one mile of Vicksburg at all places except on
the railroad ,and there he has troops at Big
Black bridge. This is the only point on Big
Black where any Federals are to bo found ; the
people that knew them once, it is to be hoped,
will know then no more forever. Gen. Jack
son’s enterprising scouts cross Big Black at
nearly ford and ferry, and scout near Vicks
burg and Snider’s Bluff. Alone a week since
a company of Federal cavalry made a raid out
into the Deer Creek country back of Greenville
and captured a Mr. Price, a government agent
with $12,000, also six men withhim engaged in
driving stock.
FROM VIRGINIA.
Captain McNeill has just struck the enemy
another heavy blow in the Virginia Valley. He
has been for a week or two past, with a part of
his company, waiting for a chance to get an
other train of their wagons. That opportunity
occurred on Sunday or Monday last, some where
on his old stamping ground, in Hardy county.
He and ished upon the train, capturing eighty
wagons, 240 horses, etc., and eighty prisoners.
He had to destroy the wagons, but he brought
out the horses and prisoners.
On Wednesday, November 18, a portion of
Gen. Hampton’s command surprised a Yankee
regiment of cavalry, encamped near Stevcns
burg, in Culpeper, and captured two companies,
numbering one hundred and seventy-five in
all, togetoer with horses an equipmetns. The
surprise was so complete that the enemy did
not attempt to show light in earnest, but saved
themselves by flight or surrender, after a faint
resistance.

BT TELEGRAPH
GENERAL ORDER BY GEN. HURLBURT.
The following general order has been issued
by Federal Gen. Hurlburt, in command at
Memphis :
Head’qiw I&th Asmt Corps, )
Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 14,1863. j
General Orders No. 157.
The people in the District of West Tennessee
and North Missb sippi, having made no attempt
4° protect themselves from marauders and
guerilla bands, and having combined in many
instances with unknown enemies of tho United
States to procure from corrupt traders inMem
phis and elsewhere, supplies for the use of the
public enemy, have proved themselves unwor
thy of the indulgence shown by the Govern
ment.
It is therefore ordered that the lines of pick -
ets around the several military posts of this
command in Tennessee and Mississippi be clos
ed, and no goods of any description be allowed
to pass out, nor anything to be brought in ex
cept food and provisions by any citizen with
out a written order of some general officer:
each of which permits, and the reasons for
granting the same, will be reported to these
headquarters ; tor which each officer granting
them will be held responsible.
All merchants and others doing business,
will be held responsible for knowledge of tbe
residence of parties to whom they self, and the
sale of merchandise to persons beyond tho
lines of pickets will be punished with tbe
highest rigor known in the laws of war.
All persons residing under the protection of
the United States, and physically capable of
military duty, arc liable to perform the same
under martial law, and particularly in the city
of Memphis, where it is known many have fled
to escape liability to military service at home.
This rule will be strictly applied.
In pursuance, therefore, of orders to this ef
fect from Major General W. T. Sherman, com
manding the Department and the Army of Ten
nessee, all officers commanding districts, divi
sions and detached brigades of this corps will
immediately proceed to impress into the ser -
vice of the United States such able-bodied per
sons, liable to military duty, as may be re
quired to fill up the existing regiments and
batteries to their maximum. These persons
levied upon, if they enlist for three years or the
war, will be entitlod to the full benefits pro
vided by the acts of Congress ; if not, they will
receive clothing and rations, and be bor.we at
the foot of each company roll, with remarks
stating their time of service, and the advance
ments mg.de by Government in clothing. The
•question of pay or other compensations will be
settled by the authorities hereafter! They vfill
be discharged when no farther military neces
sity appears for their enforced service. The
senior surgeons and inspectors present will con
stitute a board of inspection on the physical
character of recruits.
By order of Major-General S. A. Hurlburt.

NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.
GOV. VANCE’S MESSAGE.
Raleigh, Nov. 24.
Tho Legislature met yesterday and fully or
ganized to-day.
The Governor’s Message was read in both
Houses.
The Governor recommends that a list of ex
emptions of home guard should be extended
to classes indispensable to vital industrial pur
suits, and asks that the same power be given
him over that organization as he before had
over the militia. ,
He asks for authority to call together the
Supreme Court in certain contingencies and
obtain speedy solution of doubtful questions.
He recommends the establishment of spring
terms of tho Superior Court.
He brings to the notice of the Assembly the
question of the right on the part of the Con
federate Government to sequestrate real estate
in North Carolina.
He recommends the establishment of graded
schools throughout the State, and urges the
subject of feeding tho poor families of soldiera.
He says no cause for alarm, if proper econo
my be used.
The enterprise of running the blockade for
army goods has been a complote success, and
he thiuks the North Carolina troops can be
comfortably clothed to January, 1865.
n« asks for an enactment for the encourage
ment of sheep raising.
He urges the currency question on their
wisest councils. He says that the crisis inci
dent to all revolutions is now upon us. Let ns
labor with one accord to sustain tho nation’s
hope, and show we aro worthy of it by paying
the price of suffering and sacrifice, by showing
especially what we will get by submission. Our
enemies do us a service now. We can point
them to the brick kilns of Egypt, lliank3 to
Mr, Seward, plainly by view, and show them
the beautiful clusters of Eschol which grow in
the land of independence, whither we go to
possess them.
With such a prospect before them, our peo
ple will, as heretofore, come up to the full
measuro of their duty.
If their trusted servants do not fail them,
they will not crucify afresh their own sons
slain in their behalf, or put their gallant shades
to shame by stopping short of full and com
plete national independence.

Thb Late Battle in Louisiana. —Mr, War
ren Adams, just from the trans-Mississippi De
partment, furnishes tlip Atlanta papers w.ith
the annexed account of the late battle jn
Louisiana, between Green's Brigade [and tho
Federals under Franklin ;
The, Yankee advance, consisting of 2,200
men, jfete about five miles ahead of the main
body, posted in a belt of treas in tho midst of
an extensive and level prairie. Gen. Green
formed his line, placing the infantry-in the j
centre, his cavalry forming the wings. The
infantry advanced at a double quick, and the
cavalry at a gallop, thus completely encircling
the clump of timber. None of the Yankees
stood ten minutes after the advance of our
troops. Such as started to run first, escaped.
Tho balance were cut to pieces or captured.
Green’s command numbered only 1,300 men.
The enemy were completely routed, throwing
away guns, knapsacks, and all other impedi
ments to their flight. They left 500 dead and
wounded on the field. Our loss was 112 in all.
They lost their colors and a splendid steel 12-
jounder Parrott. The approach of the main
r prevented tho capture of all their artillo-
Thcir wounded were left by our men upou
the field, being correctly considered as an en
cumbrance. The prisoners number 653 men,
of whom are one Colonel, two Lieutenant
Colonels, and eloven captains. The General
in command must have been among the first
and fleetest of the skedaddlers. Green's brigade
is Sibley's old command, composed of Texans
and Louisianians, the same who fought the bat
tles of Valverde and Galveston. Disheartened
by this disaster, Franklin’s famous column has
retreated to New Orleans ; and a Yankee sol
dier is not to te found between the Atchafalaya
and Donaldsonville.
Gen. Magruder had commenced moving up
his Texas troops to the support of Gen. Green,
but, on receiving information of the enemy’s
retreat, returned to his former position.
The Louisiana planters arc returning to their
homesteads, and making preparations to gath
er in and grind their crops. They do not fear
to be molested any more this season.
An Account of the Late Fight in Virginia.—
An officer in Hay’s Brigade, who was engaged
in the late tight on the Rappahannock river,
gives the annexed full account of the affair :
The number of men that Meade brought to
the attack is estimated by competent authori
ties at 20,000 ; we had to oppose them about
1,800 men, and one battery of four pieces. Our
forces on the north bank of the river consisted
of Hays’ and Hoke’s brigades of infantry and
Green's Louisiana battery. The enemy had an
unusually heavy line of skirmishers, and three
lines of battle of five times the length of the
line of our works, while on our right a very
strong force advanced against us in columns of
companies. Three batteries opened upon us at
very short range. The enemy came up to the
attack on our right and centre without firing
scarcely a shot; our men fired most vigorous
ly, but with coolness and deliberation, and the
enemy’s skirmishers, as soon as they came
within range, melted away before the storm of
balls that were poured upon them. On came
the enemy’s first line of battle, and hundreds
of Yankees bit the dust before it had ascended
half way up the hill, when, shattered and dis
organized, the remainder cried out that they
surrendered.
Closely behind, not twenty paces distant,
pressed the second line, which charged our
works with great impetuosity ; again and
again, were they hurled back from the trenches,
our men fighting most stubbornly with clubbed
muskets, and, in many instances, with their
fists ; but the third line of Yankees coming up,
our gallant fellowd were overpowered by the
weight of numbers, and were compelled to
yield. As soon as the enemy got within our
works, they formed a line diagonally with our
tre&GhM; aad marching upoa the flank of our
left wing, consisting of the sth and 7th Loui
siana regiments, and three regiments of Hoke’s
brigade—at the same time heavy masses of
Yankees advanced upon the front. Thus hem
med in, and with a swift flowing river in their
rear, our men were forced to surrender. Be
hind the centre of our works, a natrosv pontoon
bridge spanned the stream ; over this, a num
ber of our men escaped, while a few swam the
river. Our loss amounted to about fourteen
hundred men and four pieces of artillery. The
loss of the enemy was very severe, his dead and
wounded literally covering the field in front of
our works.
