Ohio, commanding the post, refused to surrender. After some brisk skirmishing the rebel force withdrew. The enemy advanced upon Dalton, which was surrendered without a shot by Colonel Johnson, of the Forty-fourth United States colored infantry, who could have easily held the town if so disposed. Tunnel Hill was unmolested. The cars and building at that station were destroyed. From that point Hood went southward on the road, and was confronted by the Fourth corps, under General Stanley, at Snake Creek gap. Severe fighting ensued. The result is not obtainable. A telegram from Chattanooga, dated the 18th, says it was reported that General Hood was falling back on Blue mountain. It adds: Wheeler's cavalry are hanging about Rome. Forrest was threatening to cross near Bridgeport and hold the gaps on Pigeon mountain for the purpose of aiding Hood in moving his army to Bridgeport.--He is now covering Hood's retreat. Sherman is skirmishing with Hood's rear.
