repulsed, fell back through the sroode to-Z's the river, where they had thrown upeDtr--Cbu.e-.ts. The woods served them asaprotection against our musketry, but not-withstanding this their loaa la believed tohave been quite heavy.

The letter of our army correspondent,which wepublish elsewhere, lurniahea a de-tailed account of the affair. The brilliantoperationsof Rosser (including the captureof au advance train) and Mosby.who cap-tured a railroad train,will also be found accurately noticed there.

_r.FILL'S CIPTURK IN HAMPSHIRE* .'MUNTY.A participant in the last raid of Capt. Mc"

N.ill in Hampshire county, relates the fol.lowingwitb reference to theaffair: The sol-diers engaged numbered one hundred andel.vt d, consisting ofMcNeill's owncompanyofsi-ty-eight men, thirty-four men from theM regiment, commanded by Lt. Jno. B.Moorman, and nine men of Capt. Enright'scompany, under command of Lt. Fleming.Nearly a week was spent in the vicinity OfMoor-eld, watching for a Yankee train tocome along; and they wouldhave intercept-ed a train nearthat place but for tbe deser-tion of two men of White's command, whoinformed theenemy of their designs.

Un Monday morning, the 16th Inst., somethreemiles from Burlington, andfifteen fromSew Creek, itr Hampshire, they came npwitb a traiu consisting of eighty wagons,loaded with commissary and antlers' stores.The traiu waa guarded by about _-*omen,rivalry and infantry. A brisk skirmish en-sued, iv which we bad one man mortallywonnded and three or four olhere aeverelyi-jared. Tbe enemy lost fifteen or twentyKilled and thirty-four prisoners. The wa-(.on. were fired and the moatof tbem de.\u25a0Bayed; but the horses, numbaring 246,withtbeir harness, were brought off 6_fely.?A.out t*ooof Averill's cavalry followed thepart-a.far as Bean's Settlement, in Hardyicunty, wbere they gaveup tbechase.

The Campaign la East Teanes«ee.A correspondent of the Atlanta Register, williu.

from l.niiitnii.B'riiu., ou the *_|.-i | n?t, sends ai.account of ihe campaign In East Tennessee as finasIt had progressed. On the 13th our cavalry atlacked the llih Kentucky (Feib-ral) near Mary*ville, and routed it, au.l fmm that point the figltiiu**coinnieiiccd. Thecnrroipondent .ays:Wolford, with the celebrated Ist Kentiicky.cameto the re.-cue. With eager eve ihe ll'.ti Tmxa*H; tigers watched theirboa-ifut approach, with the"***tarn and Stripes'' rlo.itiug i.i the hrcc?e, ;,sthough their appearance w.'.iiid aifrighteii a teh**.In a few minute- tb. ni. tremble- wilh the ahnuisIrtim charging siiuadrons, and weall know what i*"on hand." Wetlford fell back in dlrmay, leavmi!more than a hunnred ofbi_ mi-mand in ourbaud..The result of these charges was. the capture of i uehundred and fifty one prisoners, including fivecommissioned officer--three Captain.*, one ofwhom was mortally wounded, anil two Lleutcnant*. A like number nfhor.es, Rnrnsid- riff. *and navy pistols were captured. Wolf.ird afterwardremarked to acitizen thai he could only gtrtfifty of his old -nmiunuti to f..rm a line and fightus?being panic «itrickt-ii!

Origadiertieneral Samlt is came to Wiili'm.t"-rescne with his entire brigade. But on the npproachof onrforces his command stampeded,ledby the "gallant sire" of bridge hunting fame. -For bis cowardly conduct he was putunder arrestbyorderof Burn-lde. *-*o much for his chivalry!

Casualtiesof the day limited, (inly one of tiieenemykilled and four w.iiinded. The rain tell intorrents during the engagement; hut our hoys"heeded not Ihe peltingstorm.'' The nightaftbe14th was somewhat _a_lriß*B*, yet nur teaairaaahad avery pleasant slumber, well, preparing tin mlor the fray of thpcoming day.

Early in the inorningof the I6fh Gen. Matfe**splendid division nf Alabaaiiiuis and nenrgian.were moved forward in the front, Col. Morrisoncommanding ihe. advance brigade,composed en-tirely ofGeorgians. At Rncktord lie met theenemy'spickets. These lie drove v nti.it.i troublef.,rthree miles, where he found the enemyIn potitionwith artillery. Aftera lew minutes of sharpshoot -ingGen. Martin ill.riiii.iuit.il his entiredivision andmoved them forward in tine of battle to the attack.A few eliot* from some rifle and Purroli piecescaused ihe enemy to move iheir artillery, whentheir entireforce followed. A line ofskirmishersMn- thrown forward in advance nf Mai tin's di-vision, led by Gen. Vaughn. The enemy stub-bornlyresisted his advance, but st II he pressed nn.For two miles he diove ihein, when they wereagain found in position. Rut after throwinga fewshell at our advance line of skirmishers they fellback in the direction of Kuoxville, noteven givingour artillery buys an opportunityof throwing atthem asingleshot.

Our line of battle reaches from the Rapidanacross some sixor seven mites, in a linerunningat right angles with the river. Our army faceddown the plank-road towards Fredericksburg, andtheenemy's line was formed facing up the plank-road, with Its back towards Fredericksburg.?Among the casualties on onrside are Lt.-Col. Walton, 93d Va., killed; Gen. J. M. Jone*. -lightlywounded in head; Lt.-Col. Culeston, 3d Va", legamputated;Major Terry, 4th Va., slightlywound-ed ; Lt.-Col. Brown, let N. C,slightly wounded ;Capt.

Suare, IVth La., severely In bream;AdJ'l Kenna, Ist La , killed; Lt. Cotton,3d reg't,killed. The color-bearer of the IstL_. was killed.I could not learn his name,but he in the same whowas captured at Gettysburg, and puthi* colors underhis shiit, and thus saved iheni, and afterward*escaped. The countrywhere the fighting occurredIs densely wooded,and similar in every respectto the country about Chancellorsville, it being,indeed, but a continuation of that description ofcountry.

During the fight Gen. 13d. Johnson had a hor-cshot under him, and Gen. Smart was slightlywounded, but soon resumed command.There win, also, _ome cavalry flghtliig at theupperfords on Friday, but It did not amount, Ithink, to inticb. The wounded begun to arrivehere yesterday evening,and were being sent oft*all nightlost night to Gordon*,ill**, where they willbe properlycared for, It being Impossible to provide for them heie.

You have, ofcouree, heard of Ren. Ru. hit cap-turingseventy wagons near Wilderne.s Tavern,fifteenmiles above Fredericksburg and five aboveChancellorsville, In rear of the enemy's lines, lledestroyed fifty, brought off twenty, besides onehundred and fifty mules, and same number ofprisoners.

Tlie troops and guns nn thn mountain werebrought down Falelr, only a fewcommissary store.beln« left behind. We lost aconsiderable numberof prisoners, nevcitliele-., early in the day and onthe western slop*of the mountain, the enemy, itin alleged,havln_ got in the rear af Walthall's brigade under coverof the prevail.ng fog finen.count says that Walthall lost from -OO lo 600 pris-oners, in.lutlingnearly thewholeof one regiment,the 34th Mississippi. Itis not improbable that ourloss ban been exaggerated somewhat.Orders havebeen given to evacuatethe mountain

and for Ilia whole armyto retire across the (."hickjmanga, In the direction nf the station of thainame.

LITER FROM THE NORTH.We have received tbe followingsummary

of news from tbe Baltimore Gazette, of the35th and 26th inst:

I ROM CIIATTANOOOA.The following official dispatches have been re

ceived at the War Department:Chattanoo__, Nov,24, 1_ P. M?.Yesterday at

half-past 12o'clock. Gens. Granger's and Palmer**corps, supported byGen. Howard's, wereadvanceddirectlyin front of our fortifications, drove in ihe,enemy's pickets, and carried his first line of riflenits between Chattanooga and Carter's Creek.?| We captured nine commissioned officersand about

tone hundred enlisted men. Our loss was aboutill men.

To-day Gen. Hooker, In command of Geary'sI divisionof the l-ili corps, and two brigades of thej 14th corps, carried the North slope of LookoutMountain, with small loss on our side, aud a lossio the enemy of five or six hundred prisoners. Thekilled aud wounded are not reported.

There has been continuous fighting from "'---o'clock until after nightfall,but our troops havegallantlyrepulsed every attempt of the enemy toretake the position.

Gen. Sherman crossed tbe Tennessee river be-fore daylight this morning,at the mouth of SouthChlckamauga, wilh three division* of the l.'.tlicorps,one division cf the 14th corps, aud carriedthe Northern extremity of Missionary Ridge. Our.accessso far has been complete,and tbe behaviorofour troops admirable.

[Signed,] Geo H. Thomas, Maj. Gen'l.Ch_.t_-oco_, Nov. 24,6 P.M.?The fight to-

day has progressed favorably. Gen. Sherman car-ried the endof Missionary Bfige, and his right isnowat the Tunnel and his left at Chickaii?.ugacreek.

The troops from Lookout Valley carried thepointot the mountain, aud now hold the easternslope and the point high up. I cannot yet tell theamount ol* casualties, but our loss Is not heavy.

Cen Hooker reports 2,000 prisoners taken, be-: sides which a small number have fallen into ourI bauds from Missionary Ridge.

I [Signed] V. 6. Gbamt, Major Gen.Ca_ttanoooa, Nov. _.". --Bragg evacuated the

summit ofLookout Mountain last night,and ourtroops occupy it. The enemy, however,still holdsthe rifle pits on the base ofMissionary Kid_e.

Bc-DAT Moat.iin., Nov.2_? II A. M.There was a little skirmishing yesterday,but It

did notamount to anything. Both armies are In\u25a0Ine ofbattle. The rain yesterday doubtless interfered with the fighting. It 1. cloudy thismorning,but notraining. There has been no cannonading,but parties from the frontgive it at their opinionthat a battle will occurtodayor to morrow.

I.lent. (Jen. "Swell, who has been absent fromthe army for two weeks or more, passed OrangeC 11. this morning on his way to the army to re-sume command of las corps, much improved, 1am glad to hear, in health.

GOBDNSVILI.B, Vt., 'Sunday, Nov. 89?1 P. M. \Major Mosby and his hand came upon the rear ofMeade's wagon train, near Brandy Station,just 'belore daylight Friday morning,capturing onebun- 1dnd'and twelve mules and twenty prisoners.?Tbey also destroyed between thirty and forty wa- I(tons, and came very near capturing Gen. French, |of tbe Yankee army. Mosby's men report the lin* 'of the Orange Railroad abandoned, and think jMeade will go to Fred.ricksburg if defeated. Themules captured arc all of the finest kind. X. |

THE BATTLE AT LOCKOUT HI UNTAIN[FROM OUR OWN CORRBSPONDBNT.]

Army op Te-n-bscb, 'Missionary Kldge, Nov. 33?9 P. M. sGeneral Grant has made anImpoi lunimoveupon

the military chess board to day, and one that islikely to exert an Important Influence upon military operations in thisquaiter. At an early hourthis morning, when the fog had lifted from the Val-leybelow, it was discovered that theFederal com-mander was massingn heavy force on bis left andopposite to our right. As the morning advancedthis force grewdenser and larger, until it coveredall the slnpes this side of Cemetery Fort, which isnear theriver above,and the last work the enemyhaa on his left. At 12 M. these masses deployedInto two lines of battle, with heavy reserves.?Till- movement completed, the guvs of the for1 Iopened at 9 P. M., when the heavy lines of Ihe IFederals advanced rapidly against our pickets, anddrove tbem in after a sharp resistance on theirpart. By 3o'clock the enemy had gained Indian IHill, aneminence which stands about midwaybe- ItweenCemetery Fort aud Missionary Ridge,being 'between bis left wingand ourright. He advanceduponnoother partof the lines, aud rested altergainingpossession of the hill. j

In the meantime Major Robertson brought up afew guns of his reserve artillery, and with otherbattel it s posted on Missionary Ridge to theright, jopened upon the enemy?with what effect 1. notknown. Wa onlyknow that he maintained lilbnew position, notwithstanding nur Are. Noreportbas been received of our casualties beyonda sur-mise In official quarters, that tbey will reach fromone to two hundred in killed and wounded. Onlyour pickets were engaged, the enemy not comingwithinrange of ourTine of battle.

Wben this movement was going on it was ob-served that the enemythrew a considerable col-umn up the river further to our right, as If he intended to overlap our line and compel usto stretchit out to a length that would render it very longand very weak. Can It be that he meansto threatenour depot of supplies nt Chickamauiastation,and at the same lime to draw us away firom Look-outMountain? The Ideathat Grant desires to advancehis lines In order to get more room -nd afurthersupply of firewood, as hasbeen suggested,will not hear the test of reason. A movement onsolarge and Imposinga scale looks to ulterior ob-jects,and is Intended to initiate operations niton abroad and comprehensivescale.

Thn first result ofssch a movement will be tncompel Gen. Bragg to weaken hit forces on LookoatMountain (htoTsft) to reinforcehistight,whichis corop-ratlvelf weak. Indeed, orders to Uda ef-fect have alieadyheen gives, and are now beingexecuted, ftwill never doto let the enemy turnosr rightandgetpossession ofour depot at Chickamauga. Gen. Bragg, therefore, must choose between laookout and Chlkamaaga. The demons!raBob io day was intended, doubtless, to fence himtomake his election between thetwo. Ifhedeclde to hold Chlckamaugathenba must yield the !mountain,and throwhi* armybetween theenemy'_encroachingleftwing asd tberailroad. Ifhegivethe preference to Lookout then the railroad and hisdepot of supplies must go.

The natural effectof theaffair to day, asbas al-ready bees Intimated, will he to fore. Gen.

The enemy retiringso soon, Gen. Wheeler deteruiined to press them before they took a newposition, as they were not evidentlymore than tenregiments und iwo pieces ofartillerystrong.

Armstrongmovedforwardhis division, distinguished for its lighting,Dilrhrell with llis Tennesseeans, and chareiiiKiintri-.nii with his T-'Xaim and Ar_.aiir.lnM-."Texas brigade to the front," shouted theArmeiretiie. The enemy's rear Is in sight. Thefearless Vaughn has engaged them with someskirmishers, but they can't keep up with a fi-i retreating foe. Theliugle sounds, the frontier yellIs raised, and a thousand horsemen dash on ihep-inic stricken foe. The 45th Ohio, a regiment olin..nineJ inf'antiy, distinguished for lis chivalryamong the Yankees, was sent forward tb eh* tictheiradvance. But, alas, for them, like tbe I lit.Kentucky, they were destined to visit Atlanta amiKichnionJ. Up to tbe enemy's batteries did onrbattalions charge, killing thirteen and woundingtwenty-three,reside from Ihe enpture ofninety Ayeprisoners and sevt-ial fine horses. It was near thebatteryGen. Vaughn had his horse stint from un-der film. In the charge we hail one man killedand four wounded- The enemy opened heavilynn nurcolumns With tbeir artillery, hut to liiiii- ef-fect.

The enemy were thus forced back within onemile snd a quarter of Kuoxville. We hay* sincelearned, to our amusement, that cowardly BillRrownlnw, and abolition Horace Maynard, accnnipanicd by their sutlers and their sinter, amitheir favorite'pet, AndyKnott, left for KentuckyIhe night followingthe engagement. The greatestconfusion prevailed In the city.

.Afterthis unrivalled charge was made but Utilewas dune hut the exchange ofa few shuts from thebatteries. The entire command was withdrawnsome three mites with the exception of same pick-ets. Early onthemorningof the 16th Gen.

Whilst onthe march the distant boomingofLongstreet'sgunscame rumbling toour ears. Thrice welcome wasthe sound.

We were soon en route for Louisville, on theTennessee, eager for Ihe contest. There ws remalned for Ihe night. A fewpickets made theirappearance onthe -apposite side of theriver. Butdaylightrevealed tbeir absence.

The 1-ill was prettywell consumed in crossingtheriver. By 10 o'clock of the 18th we hadreceived orders from Gen. Longsweet and were putIn position by Gen.* heeler.

No man can truthfullynay that I havefaib-d in the-lightest particular in my dutyto either. Mr. Allen received bis exempliou****** thew-.t'r.''

Andafter performing faithfully aud conscien-tiouslyeverystipulationofmycontract, bothwitb Mr. Allen and tbe Government, and ufter being thruf-t out o| the service withoutuny solicitation nf mine, no right thinkingman will censure me that 1 now refuse to beIllegally thrust In again. But the truth Ih,tbat after discharging both Mr. Allen andmyself, the Governmentbas sought.ta con-script us botb. The attempt to conscriptMr. Allen was madebefore f sued out mywrit of habfiscarpu*; and the only meat..* 1badof protect h*_* his rights was first topro-tect myown. if I have not done my wholeduty towards Mr. Alien?of which, however.I have n# doubt?l can now do so, which 1could uothave done if 1 bad not resisted theattempt to conscript myself; for it was assconscriptand not as the substitute of Mr.Alien that tbe War Department sought toforceme Into istTTtes. lv view of thesefactsI have Just eauFe, of complaint that you re-present meas disregarding the obligations ofmy contract, and >? uggc.it that I am liable tocriminal prosecution, lt Sa the Governmentonly wbo has sought to violate tbe contractbetween the parties ivthis case." j
