prisoner, when he was compelled to retire from
the Ridge.
In the engagement Gen. Bragg rode up
within one hundred and fifty yards of the ene
my, in endeavoring to rally the left wing. Bul
let- flew thick and fast, hut he paid little at
tention to them.
Grant's army, already exhanated, is in no
condition to advance, he having fallen back to
Chicamauga, after burning a portion of Ring
gold and destroying the railroad and bridges
as ho retreated. The fact that he has sent two
divisions across the Tennessee at Cotton Port
and Kingston to watch Longstreet and pre
vent ids falling on Grant's rear, and also that
the, enemy's cavalry are in Cleveland, and was
advancing towards-Charleston, where heavy
firing was heard a few days ago, would seem
to indicate, that Grant’s operations lor the
present will be confined to that quarter.
The Federal loss in the battle of November
2.'tii is estimated at 20,000 killed and wounded.
The Confederate loss will hardly exceed 1,500
or 2,000.
An Irishman bad bis lef{ hand shot off in tho
engagement of the 25th near Chattanooga, but
grasping it with his right hand he threw it up,
exclaiming “Hurra for Bragg, he’s le-trating

A case oi patriotic devotion to country, snch
as is very seldom witnessed, is worthy of being
mentioned. A young man who is a member
of one of the Tennessee cavaly regiments near
the fjord, had obtained a furlough to visit his
wife and family at Mobile. He had in his
charge a horse belonging to a gentleman in
Marietta, aud rode him down there intending
lo take the carsat that place. On his arrival
A Marietta he learned that a battle was going
on and immediately threw tip his furlough,
gave up big visit to his family, and returned
bv the first train to his regiment to take a part
in the light.
During the fight on Wednesday at the footof
Missionary Ridge, our lines and those of the
enemy approached within thirty paces of each
other face to face, and for fifteen minutes pour
ed volley after volley into the fronts thus re

The Atlanta papers intimate that
dies of troops are passing through that eity en
route for Bragg’s army.
Gen. Hardee assumes the temporary com
ni.tud of the atniv. It is supposed that Beau
. regard or Johnston will he put in command.
Gen. Hardee’s prudence, expetience and mil
itary knowledge give a sure guarantee to the
troops, who respect his ability and admire his
gallantry.
M* ny reports have gone abroad that Steven-'
son’b Division, composed of the exchanged
Vicksburg troops, acted cowardly during the
late battle. This is not so. On this point the
Atlanta Intelligencer speaks thus:
General Stevenson’s division, comprising
Cummings, Pettns’ and Brown's brigades of
ex .'hanged Vicksburg prisoners, were stationed
on the crest of Icjokout and hold their position
until a late hour on tho night of the 24th,
when they wove ordered to report to General
Hardee on the right. They were then posi
tioned in the centre of the right wing and
maintained their position during the next day,
repulsing every attack made by Sherman ou
their line and capturing nine stand of colors.
After the engagement they received the thanks
of Gen. Hardee and Gen. Bragg for their gal
lant and meritorious conduct.
The army correspondent of the Sivanuah
Republican writes as follows from Missionary
Ridge under date of Nov. 23 :
The importance of the mountain ceased with
the logs ot Valley. The possession of
the Valley reduces the wagou transportation
of tho enemy to two or three miles "at furthest,
and gives him the use of the river besides. The
voluntary abandonment of the mountain, there
fore, should occasion no regret, since its longer
retention is not only of slight importance, but
will be attended with much difficulty, on ac
count of the groat length of oitr line.
The Confederate comments thus on the pret
ent position of affairs :
There is no cause for depression, on the part
of our people, at the result of the battle. The
enemy have the prestige of driving us from onr
position, and the advantage of free egress and
ingress from and to their hitherto beleaguered
stronghold, but they have gained it at a fearful
cost. We have tlio glory of repulsing their
heavy columns and terribly reducing them, at
a very small comp,native loss. There are oth
er circumstances to cheer us, which the Future
will, seasonably, unfold.
The Confederacy of Wednesday publishes
the annexed news, gathered fr om the state
ments of a gentleman who has just arrived in
that city from Middle Tennessee :
A natty has arrived in Atlanta direct from
Middle Tennessee. He was in the rear of the
enemy's lines during the recent battles, and
reports upon the condition of affairs as they ap
pear, and a week ago.
There was great rejoicing among the Federals
in Nashville upon the reception of a dispatch
from Grant announcing the cariyingot Look
out Mountain.
The Louisville Journal pronounced it the
master stroke of the war—surpassing the entire
siege of Vicksburg—and predicted from it the
speedy end of the rebellion.
The Yankee loss in killed and wounded was
very great, including a large proportion of
regimental officers. Gens. Wagner. Hale and
Beattie were severely wounded. Twenty thou
sand will hardly cover, in round numbers,
their list of casualties. But, the Confederacy's
informant says they do not mind this, as. ac
cording to their own account, “they have plen
ty of men.”
' The spirit of our people in Middle Tennessee
is represented to be sullen ; although buoyed
by a very feeble hope, it is not subjugated.

The Lynchburg Republican, pf Nov. 25.
publishes a letter from a soldier in Longstreet s
corps, giving a short accountoof the right at
Campbell's Station. East Tennessee. Nov. 20.
The enemy, he states, were badly beaten, losing
largely in killed and wounded, besides TOO
prisoners, 900 horses, 110 wagons, lour pieces
of artillery, 3.700 blankets, uaid considerable
amounts of commissary and quartern)aster’s
stores, small arms, aud ammunition.
The army correspondent of the Savannah Re
publican under date of Nov 30, writes thus in
regard to the position of the two armies;
The enemy’sad vance forces, after their bloody
reput-e between Tunnel Hill and Ringgold by
Cleburne, retreated to the mountain pass at
the lat er place, where they still lemained at
last advices. They destroyed the bridges as
they retired—thus showing that they do not
propose to follow us further at present, and
that they are not willing for the Confederates
to get at them. Ou. rear i3 on this side of the
burnt bridges beyond Tunnel Hill, where it pre
sents a stern and defiant front. The main army
is encamped around Dalton, where the head
quarters are. The trains and such forces as
had reached Reeaca, have been ordered back to
same place.
Capt. Hobach, of the Quartermaster’s De
partment, says that our total loss of wagous,
during the late battle and the operations which
succeeded it, was about one hundred, including
ten ordnance wagons taken on Missionary
Ridge. Our losses of artillery was about equal
to our -captures at Chickamauga—say forty
guns.
The weather is exceedingly cold, and many
of the troops lost their blankets and shoes in
the recent fight and on the retreat. Will not
the people open their hearts and purses?
GEN. BRAGG'S FAREWELL ORDER.
The following order has been issued from
neauquarters;
General Ouphu, No. 214.
Upon renewed application to the President
iris consent has been obtained for the relin -
quishment of the command of this army It is
accordingly transferred to Lieut. Gen. Hardee-
The announcement of this separation is made
with unfeigned regret. An association of more
than two years which bind together a comman
der and his trusted troops, cannot be severed
without deep emotipn. For a common cause,
dangers shared on many hard fought fields
have cemented bonds which time can never
impair. The circumstances which render this
step proper will bo appreciated by every good
soldier and true patriot. The last appeal the
General has to make to the gallant army which
has so long nobly sustained him, is to give his
successor that cordial anil generous support so
essential to the success of your arms. In that
successor, you have a veteran whose brilliant
reputa'ion yon have aided to achieve. To the
officers of iny general staff who have so long
zealously and successfully strug did against
serious difficulties to support the army and my
self, is due, in a great degree, what little suc
cess and famo we have achieved. Bidding
them and the army an affectionate farewell,
they have Hie blessings and prayers of a grate
ful friend. BkASI'OX IlltAOli.
GEN. HARDEE’S ORDER ON ASSUMING
command.
On assuming command Lieutenant General
Hard.ee issued tlje following General Order to
the. soldiers of the Army of Tennessee :
‘•Goneral Biagg having been relieved from
duty C'tll this army, tho command has devolv
ed upon me. The “toady purpose—'the unflinch
ing courage and unsullied patriotism of thedis
tinguisiieo Jeftfier who has shared your fortunes
for niore than twi) yea.re, will long lye remem
bered by the army and the country be served
ao well.
I dcelro to sav on assuming command that
there is no cause for discouragement. The
overwhelming numbers us the enemy forced us
back from Missionary Ridge, but tjie army is
gtili intact and in good heart; our fosses were
small and were rapidly replaced. The country
is looking to you with painful interest. i leel
I can rely upon you. Tho weak tide need to
be cheered by the constant successes of the vic
tors of Übiloli, Terryville, Murfreesboro and
Chickamauga, and requires sucli stimulant to
sustain their courage and resolution. Let the
past take cate of itself. We care most to se
cure tie future.
(Signed) W. J. Hardee, Lieut. General.
FROM TOE FRONT,

RossviWe on Thursday.
Kelly’sspvalry whipped the enemy at Cleve
land with great loss on Wednesday.
Anderaop’A with part of Stewart’s division,
gave way on. khe left and right centre—not Ste
venson, who, with Cleburne held tho ground
on our right, righting gallantly.
Col. J. P. Jones, of Bragg’s staff, in rallying
the troops had liis horse shot from under him.
Gen. J. A. Smith,, of Cleburne's division, was
badly wounded, and Lt. Col. Porcher, of the
10th S. C., killed; Major Green mortally wound
ed; Mnjor Blevins, severely, Major Dyer, se
verely; Adjutants Reynolds, of the 29th, and
Matthews, 11th Tenn., severely; Capt. Weims,
of the 11th, killed; Col. Rice, safe.
At the time of Cleburne's late engagement
Grant’s headquarters were at Ringgold, but
believing we would attack his army retreated
>* g reat disorder, crossing the Chicamauga and
burning the bridges after him.
Gen. Bragg leaves for Newnan where his
family are residing.
Gen. Breckinridge's sou who was taken pri
soner is in the hands of Gen. Wood. The
Yankee who took him was himself captured
by our forces.
Epitome of the three days battle ; Hie ene
my gained what he fought for—Lookout Moun
tain. The left wing of both armies badly
whipped. Our loss on the left wing is more
than counterbalanced by our gains onThe right.
We lost Slocomb’s. Cobb’s and Massingale’s
artillery on the left, capturing all Sherman’s
pieces on the right. •
The report in the Savannah Republican of
the desertion of Col. HoHengsworth of
Bragg's staff, is basely false. He acted most
gallantry at Chattanooga as chief of Artillery.
We saved all our railroad stock at Chieka
manga and destroyed such stores as could not
be removed, which were not manv.
The enemy hold Cleveland and are advanc
ing on Charleston.
Wheeler has captured in East Tennessee two
hundred thousand dollars worth of dry goods
which were coming south.
The rumored advance of Federal cavalry to
Ringgold is without foundation.
Lieut. G. E. Tabb and L'apt. Barnes, of the
Signal Corps, deserted aud went over to the
enemy previous to the late battle.
The report that Grant's headquarters are at
Ringgold is incorrect.
A special to the Intelligencer, dated Dalton.
Dec. 2. says :
Gen. Bragg has been relieved by the Presi
dent at his own request.
Bragg was serenaded last night fey the band
of the Fourth Florida Brigade. Gen. Bragg was
called oot, when he said, he accepted with
gratitude and heartfelt thanks this compliment.
The association long existing between them
had ceased, and to-morrow he would leave
them.
He alluded to the many battles fought and
the reputation earned by the brave troops; in
the most feeling and touching manner took a
long Mid sad farewell, He assured them the
memory of his association with them would ever
be held fresh in his mind.
Gen. Bates was called for, and made a most
beautiful allusion to the career of Gen. Bragg,
ending with the assurance that with union and
harmony, Tennessee next spring or autumn
would be restored.
Gens. Bragg and Rates were both vociferous
ly cheered. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed.
Gens Breckinridge and Hardee were serena
ded ami made appropriate speeches.

ilanvllle Vo-, Tobacco Trade-
The Danville Register states that for some ■
time past there has been great activity ,
in the trade of manufactured tobacco, and '
large numbers of wagons have been employed
in transporting the article from that place to
Greensboro’, to be shipped thence to the South
ern maikets.
Sew York Mane Ma ltet-IVov. 10.
Thy New Yoik Drily News, in its financial
article for 19th irist., shows that the Yankees
have pothing to ship to Europe except gold,
the drain of which,must continue. At the la
test dates middling upland cotton in Liverpool
was 29jd per lb. The price in New Y'ork be
ing 86c.pe.r.Lb , with exchange at ]GS, is equ; t j
to 23d. or 3 per cent, loss than i-j Ecgtand,
without counting freight, etc. Wheat of choice
grades is quoted iu Liverpool at % 2d, and in
New York at ok Id. leaving but Id. margin to
pay freight duties, etc. Some say “Stocks are
going’’ Let us see. A London l.ouse, Nov.
! 7, writes of American 'securities —“Only one
t transaction has laeu recorded in the Stock Ex-
changes’ Dinted State! sixes of 1881 are
i quoted in London at 70. The rate in New
■ York is 110. The News adds:
a he news from London to-day of a further
r j a rt i n 'he lac tvs: in the Bank of l-’rance is of
course Indicative of n further demand for gold
from this sid The London Times states that
a large portie- of the gold demand is for
hoaiding id Fi ance, but the new cotton coun
j tries, Brazil. Egypt, India, &c , take off large
I amounts, r.n The London Economi-t proposes
| to borrow cu India to stop the present drain.
It appears that India sp nds *25.03.'',000 |, or
! annum ii England, and if. it w- uid pay half a
I year in aJvnco it would aid a great deal just
now. This is what the Hr .k of France has
recently done in London, but it is queer that
Oil England wants a little advance pay from
j India. The Bank of Fr nice, it is understood is
i making its arrar.gcmeiris to borrow the $30,-
000,000 lying idle in New York and paying no
interest to anybody, while Mr. Chase is priut
. ing greenbacks.
Foreign t'emmcrt-iaf Inn i'i,en: e
