been no account given of the remnrkable bat
tle of Ringgold Gap. This confederate vic
tory awed Bragg'a army from annihilation
after his diaaatroua defeat by Orant at Mil-
aionary Ridge.
Thie account fa given by Major W. L Bragg,
chairman of tbe Alabama railroad commia
sion and was written for Colonel Avery's
forthcoming life if General Patrick R. Cle
burne:
The battle of Ringgold Gap was taught
tlie 27tb of November lfiti-???t. Bragg's shattered
army was in wild and disorderly retreat from
the battle field of Missionary Ridge fought
two days before. On the morning of the 27i.h
of November, 1803 at daylight Clebufne with
bis division well in band, being the rear
guard of the army, reached Ringgold Gap
and in less than an hour had made those ad
mirable dispositions for the battle, which can
never cease to be the subject of admiration
all, who like the writer witnened them.
Tbe battlery of Goldtliwaite,commanded
Captain Richard W. Goldtliwaite,in a masked
position occupied tbe narrowgap. Tbe Id'
regiment of Alabama infantry with a regi
mont of cavalry on their left was placed on
the left of tbe gap and along the woods
Taylor's Ridge. facinR lowurds Chattanooga.
This ridge on that part of the line was
steep as to be almost inacceaa'ble from the
front, which faced tbe federais and the
balance of Cleburne???s division was posted on
tbe ridge of the gap along the continuation of
tide ridge east lacing to warns Chattanooga.
This ridge hot h Ui the right and left of the
gap waa covered with thick woods and to the
right of tbe gap was itaelf almost a natural
formication. , . .
A swarm of sharpshooters and skirmishers
were posted by Cleburne in the pine thickets
at the toot of the ridge on the right of the gap
and frontlngthe adjacent open fields. These
pine thickels were cut up with gulleys and
were in tbemselvis almost a natural (orlilica
lion. In front of this position na thus occu
pied ware open fields extending along the
railroad in t lie direction of Chattanooga,
Though these fields were of not very great
extent, the few inhabitants of Kioggol'
wliu had remained at their homes sow mu

federal troopa commenced chasing chickens
in private yards around the station houee;aml
others knocked down the doors of prlvair-
Itousta with tbe bulls of their guns, ant
women in the lioua'S could distinctly he
heard screaming.
Altera halt ola fi???? moments the federal
column took up its to- >???( march towanl the
gap, one pari ol the uuiu.un being on the rail
road anil the other m. . e dirt road near by.
The gap was about fid l-midrtd yards form
tbe station lumar. T.o.1 waa a curious eight
to the soldiers. There were fully five hun
dred men inarching into the Jaws ol death,
and every step they luatle wits not only walk
ing into death, but walking by death. Bo
wholly unconscious were they of any danger
that they marched In swarms scattered along
lilea dock ol blackbirds. The head ol their
column had approached to within fifty yards
of the battery, and it opened upon litem, and
whin it did wilh thunder tnat shook I lit*
earth, sweeping through them a storm of
destruction ???Instantly this waa billowed by a
more deadly lira upon their llank from
double lines of skirmishers and sharpshooters
firing front the adjacent thickets.
lti*|teat<d firing Front the battery and vol
ley elter volley (rum Ilia thickets followed in
quick succession. But few uf the federal lroo;is
escaped unhurt, and they with otbrni that
were coming up took refuge behind the
station bouse. Never was Cleburne more
happy, aa he contemplated tills mull, for he
was still among the skirmishers and sharp
shooters. Iniiitedtalely alter this he left
them to go back lo his line of battle, but aa
be did so lie directed the otUcera in command
of these tlticketa to hold them to the last ex
tremity, saying to them:
"1 want no: uing except yankee bayonets
in overwhelming numbers lo push you uut of
these thickets, and wheu you come back to
tbe llua I want you to come with the murtlea
of your guns at their breasts.''
"I mean" be said, "lo give them it 1
here to-day.???
Bitter as litis repulse had been to the federal
troopa I afterwards learned from them
through prisoners Captured that they sup-
posed It had been perpetrated only by dis
mounted cavalry, an element of the service
for which the infantry of both aruiteageneral
eral troops dnring this figtfUng was admirable
and it challenged the admiration of Clebnrne
himself. As fiat aa their color bearers fell
others would take up the colon and step to
tbe front. At length the mutes of the fed
era! infantry extending to tbe left aqd en
veloping these thickets rendered them no
longer tenable, and the confederates falling
hack from them alowly before overwhelming
numbers, but firingaa.they went, gained tbeir
position along tbe main line. This main
line extended along a rocky ridge covered
with thick woods abounding in rocks and
crevicrs ol rocks, anti wu as completely im
pregnable tu direct assault, as any position in
tbe open field that could be well imagined.
Sow very soon the whole of Cleburne???s
division wu closely engaged, and a corps of
the federal army in these woods rushed
these steep and rocky bill aide so be repea
ly repulsed. The fighting was ao close that
some of tbe men of both armies laying aside
their guns threw rocks at each otltr r as more
read; wespina Tite position was too strong,
however, to he carried by direct assault. It
??q, he d during the day and Clebnrne wu
tint kill onto! it late in the afternoon by more
itiun two cor pa of tbe federal army. His loss
was trivial indeed, while that of the euemy
u we Darned from officers under flag of truce
who came lo bury the dead was very large.
We learned ftom them also that General
Grant himself wu present very soon alter
this battle commenced.
Tbe value of litis battle to the confederates
esn bs best appreciated wben it is stated that
it alone saved Bragg's immense wagon train,
which wits in Catoosa valley only a mile or
two south of Ringgold Gap in lull view of
Cleburne's division from Taylors Itidge,while
the battle wu in progress. This battle ended
the pursuit of the federal army, and both
armies went into winter quarters.
