was soon engaged with Bate's Division, which had taken a strong position a short distance east of Missionary Ridge and held it until after dark, when fighting ceased and it withdrew.

Gen. Baird's troops, on the left, turned northward along the crest in mass, with little regard for organization, and pushed Jackson's and Moore's Brigades of Cheatham's Division eastward and northward to the top of the third knoll. Here, Gen. Walthall's Brigade of Cheatham's Division, which had been thrown across the Ridge, made a firm stand. Brown's Brigade of Stevenson's Division, which had been hurried from Sherman's front at the Tunnel, formed on the left of it, and at dusk fighting ceased. From this point to Tunnel Hill, the Confederate lines withdrew in order to and across the Chickamauga.

The Union Artillery in Chattanooga.

During the three days' battle, the heavy guns in the works about the city were an important element. Gen. John M. Brannan, Chief of Artillery of the Army of the Cumberland, had mounted sixteen pieces of heavy ordnance in the forts of the outer works. Four 41⁄2-inch Rodman guns were placed in Fort Wood, in addition to two 30-pounder Parrots already there; four 20-pounder Parrots were mounted in Fort Cheatham (Negley); four 41⁄2-inch Rodmans in Battery Rousseau; and four 20-pounder Parrots in Fort Sheridan. The battery on Moccasin Point received two 20-pounder Parrots, and, with the guns of the Eighteenth Ohio and Tenth Indiana Batteries, commanded the face of Lookout about the Craven House, and played a very important part during Hooker's assault. During its progress, two 10pounder Parrots of the Seventh Indiana Battery, and two howitzers from the Third Wisconsin, went into action near the mouth of Chattanooga Creek. Owing to the scarcity or emaciated condition of artillery horses, only four field batteries were brought into action during the engagements.

These heavy guns commanded the enemy's camps and intrenchments at the foot of Missionary Ridge and the east base of Lookout. On each of the three days, this heavy artillery was used with great effect, some of it being able to reach the crest of Missionary Ridge, and most of it proving effective against its slope during the advance of the assaulting lines toward the earthworks at the foot of the Ridge.

During the advance on Orchard Knob on the 23d, Gen. Howard, of the Eleventh Corps, sent Battery G, Fourth United States, and the First Ohio Battery, to support Gen. Sheridan, and Gen. Baird sent Battery I, Fourth United States, and Battery H, Fifth United States. These were all stationed on Bushy Knob, now the National Cemetery, and were actively engaged.

Hooker's Operations at Lookout, Missionary Ridge, and Ring

Leaving a total loss of 471 for Lookout and Missionary

Ridge.

In addition, Walthall lost 845 captured, largely from his picket line at the base of the mountain. This was posted along Lookout Creek, and was nearly one-third of his total strength, 1,500.

The missing from Moore's Brigade were 199, and from Pettus', 9. Moore's strength was 1,200. Pettus had only

three regiments.

The Confederate reports of losses at Missionary Ridge were very incomplete.

The three brigades of Cleburne's Division, which were engaged at Tunnel Hill, lost 42 killed, 178 wounded, and 2 missing.

Brown's Brigade lost at the same point, 2 killed, 35 wounded, and 13 missing. Cumming's Brigade lost 17 killed, 156 wounded, and 30 missing.
