Dunwoddy of the 12th Wisconsin Battery, opened fire, and, as if it had been chosen as the signal for the advance, Gen. Wood's division moved forward. At the same time-the pickets in his front began skirmishing, and, in being reenforced, drove those of the enemy into their rifle-pits along a creek, and at the base of an isolated knob, half way between Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. At the same time, the enemy opened with artillery from the Ridge, revealing three batteries in tbe centre of their line, but Done of the guns of sufficient oalibre to reach Fort Wood. As Gen. Wood advanced, however, he soon got under the fire of these guns, and suffered considerably from them. GEN. WOOD'S RECONNOISSANCE. ing.

Invites the attention of the public to his The late operations of the united Armies of the Tennessee and Cumberland at Chattanooga have proved to be amon£ the most successful ones of the war, while at the same time they present several most interesting examples of Btrategio manoeuvres in the face of the enemy. We have received from a highly trustworthy source a full, clear and explicit statement of the several distinct movements of the late operations, and this we present below in plain narrative style to our readers. It will be seen from the oocount that the primary object of the movement was to get possession of Lookout Mountain, in order to open railroad communication with Bridgeport. A second important object was to make a division in favor of General Burnside, as by forcing Bragg to raise the siege and retreat, Longstreet's rear would be so seriously exposed that he would have to abandon the siege of Knoxville. Other objects of Diinor importance were promised by the successful issue of the proposed contest. These have been more than realized, since, not only have we gained possession of the railroad, succored Burnside to such a degree that he is now already relieved, bu! we have captured at slight cost of life large numbers of prisoners and material.NEW STOCK Will bo sold as CHEAP as any IIouso in Luzerns County can sell them.

Beatty being in reserve. The 8th Kansas did the skirmishing for the entire line, and did it in the usual admirable style of that fine regiment. The enemy was, of course, encountered before the first hundred rods had been traversed, and the wholo of Wood's front became immediately engaged. He pushed forward rapidly, driving the enemy before him into their rifle-pits, and began in the forest which enveloped them from view from Fort Wood, a very brisk and rapid fire. The effect of this soon became- apparent by the appearance of numerous wouuded from the woods. These made their way to the ambulance train just in rear of the division, and under cover of the railroad bank, and in twenty minutes after being wounded, were in the hospital at Chattanooga, having their wounds dressed. 1 door above Duane St., March 7, 1861.

Hooker made an attack on the Itebel left on Lookout Mountain. It is not clear which movement was the feint, or if either was so intended, but it is believed that the aim and intention was to draw the Rebels to either wing in order to give the disengaged and fresh an opportunity to storm the heights and cut the liebels in two. However this may have been intended, it was subsequently discovered that the enemy,trusting to the natural strength of Lookout had left a small force of two brigades to hold it, and had not weakened their center to any great extent. In order to take this position, or to compel its reinforcement Gen.Hooker began the attack on the mountain at an early hour with Gen. Geary's division of the 12th corps, Gen. Osterhans's division of Sherman's corps, and Whittaker's and Grove's brigades of Stanley's division of the 4th corps. Boot, Shoe, Leather and Finding's PURCHASING, STORE AND MANUFACTORY. Juni 4,1863.

Hooker's command by the destruction of the bridges, and knows little or nothing of the minuter details of the engagement. It appears, however, that Gen. Hooker moved up the valley west of Lookout Mountain toward Trenton. The enemy supposed him to be moving to a gap some miles south of the point of Lookout, but having this guarded apparently did not fear his attack. But after going to the rear of the Rebel force, posted on the point about three miles, Gen. Hooker immediately began to ascefTd the mountain, and formed in line of battle, facing northward, with Gen. Geary on the front line, hi» right resting against the palisades which form the cap of Lookout Mountain. These palisades formed an insurmountable obstacle to the ascent of the force to the summit. nis right rested vgainst these his left extended ab:ut half way down the mountain. Wbittaker and Grove formed the second line, while Osterhaus formed the third. Heavy lines of skirmisheis were thrown out, the order given to advance, and in a short time there began the oddest battle of the war. T\ 8.

Little or no damage was done, as our troops were now safely behind aud on a couple of hills, known on the map as Bald Knobs. These were taken possession of by Hazen's brigade and the right of Gen.

The first gap of any importance is at Rossville. The right of the enemy's line proper rested at the oorth end of the oonnected ridge at the mouth of the creek, the isolated peaks mentioned not being occupied. The enemy had such a long line to hold that he did not think it advisable to attempt to contest the oocupatiou of the isolated peaks. On the north end of the ridge, and the right of his line, he had built a strong bastion fort. At a point nearly due cast of Chattanooga, and nearly two miles south of the fort mentioned, was another. These were connect ed with strong riflo-pits, the outlines of which were plainly visible from Chattanooga; but the naked eye could hardly distinguish whether they were men in line of battle or works. The field glass, however, gould bring into bold relief the logs, brush and earth which composed these rude but strong works. From the fort in the center, south a mile, ran rifle-pits to another i'ort, which was the left of the Rebel line on the ridge. Pittstou Molding & Planing Mill, INCORPORATED I'M.

At the same time the division of Gen. Sheridan was moved forward on his right to support him, while Gen. Howard's corps moved on his left in order to protect his flank. A small but deep stream lay in Gen. Howard's front, and it was determined to obtain possession of that as a defilo to his position. But the enemy had built strong rifle-pits on the east bank of this stream. Though the force in Wood's front bad been routed, there still remained a force in the works on his left flank, and these wero developed as soon as Gen.

On the summit of the mountain, abovft the palisades, the Rebels had two 64- pounden. On the west slope of tho mountain they had no works. On the cast, near the point of the mountain, they had a strong line of rifle-pits, with two pieces of artillery. Hooker came down on the western slope, his heavy skirmish lino driving everything before it. The enemy was taken by surprise at being attacked in the rear, and hastily retreated to the rifle-pits on the eastern slopo of the mountain. But it was not until they had suffered very severely 1n prisoners. Gen. Hooker met with unexpected success, and, as he swept around the mountain, cut off and secured several hundred prisoners. These follows hid in the rocks and bushes, and surrendered at discretiou. Many of them  unexchanged men, taken at Vicksburg, and the question has arisen, what is to be done with them. It is evident from their conduct that they huvo been forced to take up arms against us, and all appear to ba conscientious in saying that they supposed they had been exchaui;ed, as they were told.

July, 1803, received Hilling only to secure these men, Hooker continued to push around the mountain, and had obtained a strong foothold on the spur of the point, when ha found the enemy in his rilie pits qq tha east slope, prepared to make a more systematic and a stronger defence. He pushed forward, however, continuing his skirmishing fighting on a heavy soalo. This engagement was kept up very seriously until late in the afternoon, when a ehurge was made and the enemy driven from his rifla pits. They were immediately occupied by Geary; but the enemy rallied, and made a charge for the possession of the works they had just relinquished. They made one desperate effort. Geary, out of ammunition, was about being overpowered, when recnforcements arrived under Gen. Carlin, and the 38th Indiana, 2d and 33d Ohio, and other regiments of that fine brigade, all going in at double-auiok, the enemy gave up and fell baok, under 4 murderous tire, to hastily constructed works in the rear, and covering the Summertowa road. Carlin had come up about dusk, and his repulse of the enemy left us in possession of their workB and the entire field. We had only to push on about 500 yards to get possession of the Summertowa road to the summit of tbo mountain. Charles Law & Co. Gen. Grant's line was shorter—being the interior line —very strongly defended in the center, and hence with reinforcements arriving under Hooker and Sherman, he was able, by the time his plans matured, to detach two large forces to attack the enemy's right and left flanks, in order to keep his line extended and consequently weakened, while at the same time he succeeded in strengthening the center, the old army of the Cumberland, by Howard's Corps. Subsequently, however, this corps joined in the operations on the right, while two brigades of Stanley's division, 4th corps, and one brigade of Johnston's division, 14th oorps, were sent to aid Hooker who was assaulting Lookout with Geary's and Osterhaus's division.

During the night of Monday. Gen. Sherman suooeoded in reaching his position on the north side of the river, opposite the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, preparatory to crossing at daylight in Hie morning. Col. Stanley, 18th Ohio, had the boats in order fur crossing, the steamer Dunbar being moved during the night to the same point. At daylight Sherman began crossing his three divisions under Ewing, M.
