Cleburn (search for this): article 5
fought with stubborn courage for the redemption of Missionary Ridge, its possession was evidently only a question of time.--This was cut short by an order to retire late during Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday Gen. Mancy fought the Federal pursuit three miles this side of Chickamauga, being himself severely wounded. The retreat was conducted with some confusion, but order was restored after a day's march, and the troops passed through Dalton in unbroken columns. On Friday afternoon Gen. Cleburn had a severe skirmish with the enemy's cavalry near Ringgold. It is understood that he kept them at bay. There are conflicting opinions expressed by parties from the front concerning the loss of Lookout Mountain. Many persons assert that the assault was a complete surprise; others excuse the disaster by the plea that the enemy approached under cover of a dense fog, and could not be seen, whilst in carrying the heights they successfully demonstrated our attention to a different quar

could not have been anticipated. Among the wounded officers who have arrived at Atlanta we find the names of Major French, of the 63d Va., and Capt. A. H. Booth, of the 54th Va. Col. Horace Rice, of the 29th Tenn., and Lt. Co. Julius Porcher, of the 10th S. C., were killed. Col. Suggs, of the 50th Tenn., was dangerously, and Major Green, of the 29th Tenn., mortally wounded Capt. Cabell Breckinridge, son of the General, was taken prisoner. Gen. Walthall was wounded in the heel, and Gen. Maney was wounded slightly in the shoulder. The Confederacy, of Saturday, gives some additional particulars of the battle. It says: Active work began on last Saturday with light skirmishing. The enemy shelled at intervals from their fortifications and sent out a few raiding parties, which were checked at every point, except in one, where a brigade baggage train was captured. On Sunday the warmth of the encounter increased decidedly, and throughout Monday the firing from right to le

opposite our right wing was evidently a surprise.--And then again, the separation of Longstreet's corps and Wheeler's cavalry from the main body, turned out to be a most serious blunder, perhaps, though, one that could not have been anticipated. Among the wounded officers who have arrived at Atlanta we find the names of Major French, of the 63d Va., and Capt. A. H. Booth, of the 54th Va. Col. Horace Rice, of the 29th Tenn., and Lt. Co. Julius Porcher, of the 10th S. C., were killed. Col. Suggs, of the 50th Tenn., was dangerously, and Major Green, of the 29th Tenn., mortally wounded Capt.

we chose fire the house. The kitchen was set on fire, and the Federal sharpshooters abandoned the residence, and in doing so set the building on fire; thus it was destroyed. There was found in the yard many of his books, family portraits, and many articles of furniture. His family went into the city. The residence of Wm. H. Crisp, the lessee of the theatres of this city and Mobile and Montgomery, was burned by the Federal. This residence Mr. Crisp had recently purchased from Maj. Campbell Wallace, President of the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. Another costly residence — that of the late Judge Reese, about one and a quarter miles from Knoxville — was destroyed by the Yankees. They also burned the residences of W. W. Walker, Mr. Roth, and one or two others in that vicinity. The pretext for this vandalism was that they might be used as places of security by our pickets and sharpshooters. The Federal fired them as they abandoned them. The severest fighting on the

approached with resolution, estimated at forty thousand strong, and charged us in our works, at the same time occupying the attention of our right wing, ranged at the foot of Missionary Ridge. Their onset was firm, but not impetuous at first, but increased in volume and vigor as the day advanced. Our troops, commanded by the heroic Gen. Breckinridge (in command of Lieut. General Hill's corps,) received the terrible odds thrown against them with a courage animated by the example of Walthal, Strahl, Mannigo, Bate, Stevenson, and others, leading divisions and brigades. It was not until late in the afternoon that the desperate assault of the enemy, multiplied by fresh numbers at every advance, created an effect upon our lines. At 4 o'clock the "left centre," as described by Gen. Bragg--a level point lying near Walkins's house, between the foot of Lookout and Missionary Ridge, and opening a way into the valley in rear — gave way, and the enemy poured through the embrasure like a fl
