The spectacle was magnificent as viewed from the crest of Missionary Ridge. He advanced first against our right wing, about 10 o'clock, where he encountered that superb soldier, Lieut. General Hardee, who commanded on the right, whilst Major General Breckenridge commanded on the left. Hardee's command embraced Cleburne's, Walker's, (commanded by Gen. Gist, Gen.

Unfortunately Ferguson's battery of four guns, belonging to Walker's division, was captured. The horses were in very had condition and unable to keep up with the column, and hence the disaster. The greater part of the men and horses escaped.
