ter commenced to move on our rear by the two roads to Lafayette and Ringgold. Two other corps were now in Wills's valley, one nearly opposite the head of McLemore's cove, a valley formed by Lookout mountain and a spur of the main ridge called Pigeon mountain, and the other at or near Colonel Winston's, opposite Alpine. During the 9th, it was ascertained that a column, estimated at from four thousand to eight thousand, had crossed Lookout mountain into the cove by way of Stevens's and Cooper's gaps. Thrown off his guard by our rapid movement, apparently in retreat, when, in reality we had concentrated opposite his center, and deceived by the information from deserters and others sent into his lines, the enemy pressed on his columns to intercept us, and thus exposed himself in detail. Major-General Hindman received verbal instructions on the 9th to prepare his division to move against this force, and was informed that another division from Lieutenant-General Hills's command, at

one of Thomas' Corps made the passage at Caperton's Ferry, and began to march without delay over Sand mountain. On the 4th of September the remaining divisions of McCook and Thomas crossed at Bridgeport and Shell Mound. About this time the three Confederate corps, commanded by Generals Polk, D. H. Hill and Buckner, were withdrawn to the vicinity of Lee and Gordon's mills, on the Chickamauga. On September 9th, two divisions of Thomas' Corps (Negly's and Baird's) made their way through Cooper's and Stevens' gaps, in Lookout mountain, both very strong positions, which were left open by General Bragg, but without any apparent object. The enemy took position near Dug Gap, and as soon as they had done so, D. H. Hill was ordered to guard the passage in Pigeon mountain, while General Polk was summoned to make active operations against the Federals in McLemore's Cove. Thus the two armies faced each other on September 10th, but no collision occurred. Hill made disposition for batt

kets were seen towards Harrison, which, the Yankees said, were a signal of the approach of General Burnside, with forty thousand reinforcements. A heavy Confederate force was before Chattanooga and Harrison. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, Sept. 26. --Our lines extend around Chattanooga within striking distance of the enemy. Our forces are well up to the front.--Full supplies of commissary and hospital stores are close at hand. On Wednesday night our cavalry occupied Cooper's Gap, on Lookout Mountain, twelve miles from Chattanooga.--That night Gen. Wheeler made a reconnaissance toward Lookout Mountain, found an infantry force of the enemy, and drove them away. The mountain is now, held by Gen. Longstreet. The enemy's operations are plainly visible from Lookout. Rosecrans has two lines of defence on the road to Chattanooga, six hundred yards apart. He has one pontoon bridge across the river, which is crowded with wagons, and the impression is that he br

igeon Mountain; the latter uniting near the Alabama line with Lookout Mountain, and forming an acute angle. --The space enclosed between these two mountains is known as McLemore's Cove, the entrance to which from the west is by Stephens's and Cooper's Gaps in Lookout Mountain, and from the east by Dug Gap in Pigeon Mountain. North of Chattanooga and beyond the Tennessee are Walden's Ridge and the Cumberland Mountains proper stretching away to the northeast. The distance from Chattanooga t; to Bridgeport, twenty-eight; to Caperton's Ferry, on the Tennessee, opposite Stevenson, about forty. From Caperton's ferry there is a public road leading across Sand Mountain to Trenton, in Willa's Valley, and thence through Stephens's and Cooper's Gaps in Lookout Mountain to Lafayette and Dalton, passing through McLemore's Cove and across Pigeon Mountain at Dug Gap. Rome is about sixty-five miles southwest of Chattanooga, and is reached by a good wagon road, which passes through Lafayette
