| Continued Pursuit of the Enemy -- Railroad
Communication Resumed ***** |
| Atlanta, Sept. 23 |
| The pursuit goes on. Our latest report is
the following telegram from Tunnel Hill, Sept. 22, 9 P. M. |
| "The Latest from Headquarters
-- Our army is near Chattanooga. We expect to be there to morrow.
Rumor says we occupied it to-night. |
| Private advices represent that two
thousand prisoners will arrive on the down trains to-day {on
the Western & Atlantic RR}. |
| A large corps of bridge-builders have been
sent to the front. Orders have been issued to examine the railroad
from Dalton to Chattanooga, via Cleveland {the
East Tennessee & Georgia RR}. It is supposed that the
trains will run on to Chattanooga today, as the road to Cleveland is
known to be in good order, and that from Cleveland to Chattanooga is
not known to be destroyed." |
