The Atlanta paper* come to ua filled with detached accounts and incidents of ' the late battlea iu Tennessee, resulting in tbe loss of Lookout Mountain and llie re treat of Dragg. Iu the absence of any connected narrative of tbe disaster, we * present a summary of tbe etatetnenla of our North Georgia exchanges. The editor of tba Atlanta ConfeiUracy has conversed with a general ctfiesr just frotu the army, who givee the annexed account of the late operations : Active work began on laat Saturday with light skirmishing. Hie enemy shelled at intervals from their fortifies Upna, tad sent out a faw raiding parties, which were checkad at every point, ox ?apt in one, wbeio a brigade baggage train waa captured. On Sunday the warmth of tba encounter increased deci dedly, and throughout Monday iba bring i from right to laft became continuous, although but littla execution waa dona.? Tha great engagement opened at dawn on Tuesday* The attack waa 111 a da by tba anamy upon our position* upon Look out. They approached w;lb resolution, astiiualad at forty thousand strong, and abarged ua in our works, at the same time occupying the attention of our right wing, ranged at tha foot of Missionary Ridge. Tbair onset wns tirmv but not < impetuous at first, ?but iucrsassd in voluna and viiroc as tlie day advanced. Our 1 treope, commanded by the heroic Brack- | earidge?in command of Lieutenant j General flill's old eorpe?received the , terrible odd* tbrowa against them with a ! courage animated by. the example of | Waithall, Strahl, Manigault, Balea, Sle j eenaoa and otbera leading diviaiona and brigade*. It was not until late in the afternoon llial the desperate aaaault of the enemy, multiplied by freah numbera at every advance, ereated an effect upon our j line. At four o'clock, tbe "left centre," ae described by General Bragg?a lavel point lying near Watkin'e house, between the foot of Lookout and Missionary Ridge, and epeuing a way into tbe valley in ' rear?gave way and tbe euemy poured through the embrasure like e Hood tide.

Tba day closed with a disorder which might baaa l>aaa turned iato a lout, bad tjia enemy continued to prats with tba eanae energy after dark tbat be displayed throughout the day. During tba night 1 die renraanl of the left, iniuua a portion f several commands, which fell captive beeauss of being cut ofl from (be main body, was withdrawn to positions along Missionary fridge, where the troops Were mpaeed for the confliet of the coming day. !

The attack was inado hefon sunrise. Geo. Hardee, conjinauding on right, being himself in the trenches, teadt to receive lite assault. The fight was more desperate than ih > day preceding. The valley was hooh en I veloped iu the dense fog of exploding ] shells, winding wreaths of smoke am ! white clouds from fort and earthwork* > Charge after charge was made by tin ; eneinv, and as boldly met hv our men now thoroughly desperate by reasou <> i the crisie closing around them. Ever; I onset was repulsed, and as the rank were mowed down, they were filled up again and sent foiward with new vtdoci ty. TLe carnage in front of our rudi feitilicationa was fearful. Not less that five thousand dead strewed the plain be fore nightfall, and still liardee held hii | own unbroken. j At laet sunset brought the bloody ; drama to an sud, with the complete re ( pulse of the enemy along the entirt j right, but sol before he had rapidly im proved* his position apen Lookout, ant prepared to enfilade our line from hatle ries posted thereeu.

At llti preaent writing, we have no further in telligenoe as to the operation* of yestcrday, except that there waa no fighting. The Confederacy of Saturday has tin following ; The night train bringa down quite a number of wounded field and regimental (Beers, among whom ia Brigadier Gen .oral Muuey, of Tennessee, commanding the dlviaion which covered our retreat.? The loaa in Manvv's division waa not great, although bia encounter with the ad* auee of Grant'a pursuit was spirited, Ilia aialed that the enemy ia disposed to push b:s advantage vigorously ; and a fight inay be expected at some point be tween Ringgold and Italton The indi Cations, however, are that the Federals are cut to piece* iu au;b a manner as to forbid further aggressive movement*, w hence we take it, that the campaign ends in this latitude for the present. General Walthall haa arrived in At latita, with a Minnie ball through the calf of his leg. The wound is palnfu', but no bwnes are broken. | The Federal Genera', Grant, com man ded in peraen throughout the assault upon Missionajy Ridge, and was Rrad upon by our sharpshooters, aa he and hia staff, splendidly mounted and uniformed. rod# through the lines of Yankees. It is said that whiskey wns the inspiring source of Yankee heroism on the late field. Wagons of the beet old liourbon wore drawn up and down the columns of the enemy, who wore bid to belp them selves. They did so plontiouely, and rolled into Wattle with an alcoholic fury, wbiclt was a< blind as it proved bloody. One tbpusnnd men in killed and wounded, we are asaued, will cover our loss during the tluee days of battle. We cannot ascertain. the number of our loss in prisouers. No doubt tbey are largely overrated, as most of them were taken in sijueds, aud many escaped after capture.
