Re- entorcod with one division of tlie lat­ ter army, under Gen. Jeff. C. Davi*. General Sherman was to advance on the morning of the 21st upon tlie tiorth end of Missionary Ridge and carry It far n* tlie tunnel, tfooker was to liold position In Lookout Valley with Geary'* division and two brijradei? of Cruft's division of Granger's corps,, pending the Eleventh Corps, under Gen. Howard, to Chattanooga, where it was to act as reserve to the army. Gen. Thomas was to concentrate all his remaining troops in Chnttann^a Val­ ley, holding one division in reserve to move wherever ordered and co-operate with Sherman in lijs attack. Hooker, not liking the passive position assigned him. asked permission to accrtmpnn.v the Rlevunth Corp*, but was ordered to push the enemy on tlie left, which he did to such purpose as to carry Lookout Mountain u|)d necessitate an entire change In the arrangements. General Sherman with characteristic energy pushed on li|^ preparations for performing his part in tlie programme, but owing to unavoidable delays it was not until one p. M. pn the 24th that three ot his divisions, under command of Generals Morgan L. Smith. Jno. E. Smith and Hugh Kwing. were in posi­ tion on the south bank of tlie Tenneiu isee. Tlie flrst^iiiiuied division was on the left, resting on Chickamuuga Creek, the second in tlie centre aud Ewlng on the right, connecting with the left of Davis* division. The con­ federate plan for BREAKING THE PONTOON KRIIM.KS at Chattanooga ami Brawn's Ferry by sending, rafts and logs down' the river qgalust them had proved so lar suc­ cessful as to cut oft Osterhaus' division, which ih'oTiedlcnce to orders r^poi tpd to Gen. Hooker and participated in tlip assault upon Lookout Mountain, as de­ scribed in tlie Tribune of Juno 24th. In moving forward from Bridgeport Gen. Sherman had upon the 22nd made a feint upon Bragg'* left, feuding Kw­ ing towards Trenton, .south of Wau- hatchie, but without producing the ef­ fect of inducing Bragg to weaken his right to reenforco it. Stevenson, in cqinma^d in Chattanooga Valley and on Lookout Mountain, however, ex­ tended his lines fnrtIter southward on account pf tiiic movement, covering tlie various passes lending mountain. This dispositi command deprived liin and Cuminings-* brig«^d«sp».w|i otherwise confronted Gea movement up Hie mountain side, $IKI materially have changed the result of t hat movement. Shj-rnjan's line moved forward promptly over the f< lils and up tlie slope of Missions FSMjieetfug with stout resistv»f-'e, when lie gained tlie summit about four o'clock in the al'ternpou, from Cle- bjurne's troops posted in a commanding position north of the gap, through whidi tlie East Tennessee Rail road passes, near the tuiiiicH.

The re- connoissauce \y;i^ made as directed and the withdrawal of the enemy wi;» an- n on nee 11 to tlie army below by the Eighth Kentucky infantry, who plant­ ed their tla£ upon the ereijt of Lookout. Gen. Hooker was then directed to move on the Jiossville road .with his entire command, except C^rlin's brigade, which was to rejoin it# division, curry tlie pass at Rossville, uijd operate upon the enemy's left and rea/•. Palmer's and Granger's troops of tiie Fourteenth and Foui th Corps, excluding Davis' di­ vision of the former and two brigades of Cttift's division of the hitter, which were op?riiting witli Sherman on thjs left and Hooker on the right, lyerp iield in readiness to ^dvance direcjtly on the rjfle-pits in their front as soon as Hooker could get into position at Kossville.

(^estroj'f'd the bridg­ es, which delayed Hooker's advance to I such nn extent that it o'clock when he reached Bragg's left ftank. The movements of the Union army in the basin of Chattanooga were Intent- ly watched by their antagonists on Missionary Ridge. Gen. Bragg briefly describes the position at this time ns follows: "On Wednesday, the 25th, I again visited the extreme right, now under Gen. Hardee, and threatened by i»heavy force, whilst strong columns could be seen marching in that direc­ tion. A very heavy force in line of battle confronted our left and centre. On my return to this point, about 11 A. M., the enemy's forces ^ere being mored in heavy masses from Lookout A«\d beyond to our frrfiit, whilst, those in f?nnt extended tojreur right. They formed their Iiue*~wltli great delibera­ tion, just beyond the range of our guns and in plain view of our pitsition.-* Gen. Bates I? more graphic in his de­ lineation of the saline. He says: '"About twelve o'clock on tlie night qf the 24th 1 received an order froni corps headquarters to send Lewis' bri­ gade to report to Maj. Gen. Cleburne on the right, which was promptly done.

Tlie sun jhoije l^rigltiiy dovvu upon a scene of surpassing grandeur. Every movement of the troops in the valley was distinctly visible from the liead- quarters of the contending angles. ')'he thundering of artillery on tlje left proclaimed the opening of battle in Sherman's front, where Cleburne wis stoutly contesting, his advance. Faf to the light, like a s|>eck in the hori­ zon, the National flag floated from the lofty peak of Lockout Mountain, and Hooker's victorious columns wound like a huge serpent »lown through tor­ tuous paths tt> the valley beneath, wlieupe Carlin's brigade cutue uiarcli- iug to its old pooitlou ou Johnson's right.
