On the right was Lieaten- ant-General Hardee, in command of four division* uuder Generals Cheat- liana, Cleburii, Sleveuton and Gist. The effective strength of this corps, as reported in the returns for rite 23d of November, was. infanrrv, 1,783 officers, and 17.176 men; afTiUehr, 43 officers and 1,420 men. Mnjur-Gemfral Breck- enridgs on tlie left commanded the three divisions of Generals Hindmaii and Stewart, and Ills own division, un­ der Bute?, whose effective strength by the same return tvas. infantry, 1,024 of­ ficers and 12,524 men; artillery,3* offi­ ce m and 804 men: total. 34.813, Of tills number 1.281 were lost in killed, wounded and missing, in the defense of Lookout Mountain leaving the ef­ fective strength of General Bragg's army when attacked on the 35th 33,532. They were veteran soldiers, ably com­ manded and strongly posted. Bragg says in Ills report: "Though greatly outiiu.nbered, such was the strength of our position that no doubt was enter­ tained of our ability to hold it. and ev­ ery disposition was maie for that pur­ pose." West Chicamauga Creek, flow­ ing northward through McLeinore's Cove ami renJered historical THE TKRRIFIC BATTLB FOUGHT UPON .ITS RANKS » on the 19th and 20th of September, unites with the Eastern Branch at a point a few miles, east of Rossvllle. The stream threads its way through the valley east of Missionary Ridge, rm'.nding the northern end. a»d, flow iitg westward two miles, empties into the Tennessee four miles above the city. Chattanooga Creek, flowing north through Chattanooga Valley, skirts the eastern base of Lookout Mountain and empties Into the rjver opposite the toe of Moccasin Point, two miles below the city. A little ov­ er two miles from the northern ex­ tremity of the ridge Is a gap and tun­ nel through which the East Tennessee Railroad passes, while the Georgja l&'fi'iHSftrf 'be­ tween the base of the mountain and Cliickamauga Creek, thence south­ ward, crossing the East Tennessee Railroad, and on through Ringgold and Dalton to Atlanta. Bragg'* line of battle, four miles long,extended from Rtwsvllle', on the south, where the line was weak and attenuated, to a hill north of the tunnel, where Cleburne was intrenched and supported by the three remaining divisions of Hardee's corps. The Tennessee River, only two miles from Missionary Ridge, at the mouth of Cliickamauga Cre*k, curves gently westward from its southerly course; then bearing again southward It passes Chattanooga four miles trotn the base of the Ridge. Fort Wood, situated on an eminence east of the city, was located two miles from tho trencher at the base of the ridge. The average distance from this line of works to the crest where the main con­ federate line of battle was formed was. six hundred yards. Intermediate be" tween the trenches and Fort Wood •vere two hills known as Orchard Knob and Bushy Knob, upon which Bragg's advanced pickets were posted. The confederate artillery was advantag­ eously posted to sweep the valley in all directions, affording In some placcs an enfilading Are, upon an assaulting line of troops. In compliance with orders from Gen. Bragg, received at midnight of the 24th, Gen. Stevenson, in command of all the troops in Chattanooga Valley at the base of Lookout Mountain, sent them to report to Gen. Hardee> at the extreme right of the confederate line. This force consisted of six brigades commanded by Genera's Pettns, M«»ore, Walthall, Cummings, Browo and Jack­ son. General Cheatham arrived the same night and assumed command of his division. Gen. Cleburne was strongly posted on a knoll north of the tunnel; Cheatham and Stevenson took position On his left, south of the gap; Walker's division, under command of Gen. Gist, joined the right of Brecken- rldge's cords; Lewis's Kentucky Bri­ gade yf Bate's dlirision was detached and Sent to the right. On the night of the 24th Bragg's troops were as­ signed as follows: On the extreme/riglit was Cleburne's division.-consisting of Lowry's, Polk's, Liddeli's and J. A. Smith's brigades. Cheatham's division came next, with Jackson's Walthall's and Moore's bri­ gades. Marcus J. Wright's brigade of this division on duty at Cleveland moved by rail on the uight'of the 24th via Dalton aud Ringgold, whence it marched down Chicamauga Creek, en­ countering the right of Osterhaus's di­ vision on its way down the valley. The wagon train belonging to the bri­ gade was captured by Colonel Long, who with -hi 3 cavalry brigade was raid­ ing in rear of Bragg's lines to interrupt communication with Longstreet, Stevenson's division comprised the four brigades of Browu^ He tuts, Ciub* ming and Reynolds. Walker's divis­ ion, under command of Gen. Gist, also had four brigades, under MeCuUotigh. Winson, Murray and Baldwin. Lewis's brigade of Breckenrldge's division At­ tached and sent to the right, compen­ sated for the absence of Wright and gave to Hardee sixteen brigades, com­ posed ot ninety-one regiments and ba- tallion's or veteran troop*, strongly posted behind earthen breastworks crowned with logs, ably commanded by experienced officers, and supported by twelve batteries of artiliery advantag­ eously posted to sweep the plain be* yond the base of the ridge, but com­ paratively uselesa in resisting assault at close quarters, owing to the impossi­ bility of depressing the muzzles of the guns sufficiently. Gen. Hindman's corps, comiuauded by Breckenridge, consisted of three divisions, his own un­ der Gen. Bate, which had three bri­ gades in ltne on the left of the line of battle, confronting Johnson's division on Thomas's right. These were his own brigade. Quarie's and Flu ley's. Between this division and Hardee's left, Hindman's own division, under Patton Anderson, was posted"Ir. front of Bragg's headquarters. This wa. a strong division, composed of Anderson's Mississippi brigade. Manlgaui't bri­ gade of South Carolinians and Ala­ lia mi ans, Deas's Alabama brigade, and Vaughn's Tennesseeans. Thirty-one regiments and battalions and fifteen batteries of artillery, including tli« re­ serve, held this portion of the line. Stewart's division of twenty-three regiments more, organised into four brigades, under Stovaii, Strahl. Clay­ ton and Adams, was charged with the defense ot the left flank. A portion of this division was posted at the en­ trance to the gap in front of Ross- viile, and the remainder in support, on the southern extremity of Missionary Ridge, behind works whloh had been erected by Palmer's division of Criten- den's corps on the 2l*t of September, when falling back from tlw field of Cliickamauga, By one of tho chances of war it was glvtn to this same divis­ ion to retake the works from the con­ federates. CAPTURE OP ORCHARD KNOB. On the niglit of the 22nd two desert­ ers reported to General Thomas t|iat the confederate army had fallen back, and that Missionary Ridge was held only by a line of skirmishers. To as* certain the truth or falsity of this r»> porwOon. Gntng«r-was dtreess make a reconnolssanoo In front of Fort Wood. On the artemoon of the SSd Granger put his corps In motion to carry out the order of Gon. Thomas. Wood's di­ vision was ordered from Its position near Fort Wood to move Southeaster!^ in the direction of Missionary Ridge, to go as far as Orchard Knob, ctberl- dan's division, ihi Its rirht. was to fo as far us Bushy Knob, about half the distance, as a support to Wood. Wood's division was formed with Hasan's bri­ gade on ahe right. Willich's on the {eft, and Beatiy's In reserve. At two p. K. the movement began and skirmishing commenced at onoe, continuing until the first Una of rifle- pits, .ibont half a mile distant, was reached, where the picket line, whioli had fallen steadily back, united with the reserve, and endeavored to check the advance of the Union troops. No halt was made. Pushing on, the first battalion of Kazan's brigade, command­ ed by Colonel AquilEa Wylie. captured nearly the entire regiment (the Tweii> ty-elghth Alabama) on a rocky eml/ lie nee in front of the brigade. In the brief struggle for tiie occupation of the hill. Major Birch, leadiug the Ninety- third Ohio, and 11 of bis men were killed and 48 wounded. In t|ie Forty- first Ohio, 11 men killed and A3 wound­ ed. The horses of Colonel Wylle and Lieutenant-Colonel Kimberly. of the Fortj'-flrst Ohio, were killea under the u, ami Col. W". W. Berry, ot the Fifth Kentucky, the gallant oommand. er of the skirmishers, was twice wounded. The position was carried at the point of the bayonet, the Twenty- eighth Alabama beib£ captured behind their works. During the last half mile after meet­ ing the pickets Hasen's lino was con­ tinually EXPOSED TO AN ENFILADING riRB and suffered severely. The troops biv- nuacked upon the ground and employed the night in fortifying their position in the direction of Missionary Kidjr«. Willich's advance brought him "to Or­ chard Knob, occupied only by s picket post. Wl'tah carried in a dashing charge, with slight loss. Sheridan met witli but slight resistance, and not over a dozen men were lost In the two last-mentioned commands. After the capture of the position. General Thomas rode over, and "bak­ ing hands wifli many of the officers, publicly thanked the Fifth Kentucky, Foriy-flrst and Ninety-third Ohio for their courageous eonduct. The advan tage gained was such as to change the plan from a recoonuolssanoe. to occupa­ tion of tho ridge, as a starting point for the assault on Missionary Ridge, two days later. The long famine at Chattanooga bad fallen with terrible severity«pon tho horses attached to the oouimaud.
