Morclrea and Hit Km ???MM Ini Er TiieBattlioi- ltixciooi.n Gap ???There h<u 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 ing and knew nothing ol Ibis disposition ul Cleburnu forcts. It may well he doubteu whether ao successful an ambuscade was evt r perpetrated In the annals of civilised warfare upon a brave ami intelligent enmity ao skill ed III the arl ol wer and commanded by such able ami experienced ( Ulcers.

Tin panorama was magnificent. More complete eilence never brooded even In a wilderness. All commands had been given in whispers. Not a noise could l-e heard, The quiot olt he early morning rested upon those woods anil fields ami nm so muoh as a word had passed When the long lines of federal lUnkers and skirmishers wire seen coming down the tail road and tu??r 'lung Iront the adjoining woods to the nor t it ufibe railroad and on the opposite The Instrnc'lone of Cleburne were that the skirmishers and sharpshooters ensconced In the pine thickets should not open fire until the artillery had first find In tlte gap Hia iiulructlnna further were that the butury m t egsp, double shotted wittirunidster aliuUu! not till- until the enemy were at me shot os t possible tange.

Borne of the., 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. Bkk asu Baiitow in thk Fikmiok Batti.b.???
