They carried the parapet on its summit by a dash with cold steel which wrung even from the composed mind of Thomas this high eulo- gium : " The bayonet charge of Howard's troops, made up the side of a steep and difficult hill over two hun- dred feet high, completely routing the enemy from his barricades on the top, will rank among the most distinguished feats of arms of this war." By four o'clock on the morning of the 29th the conflict was over, and Hooker's army corps secui'ely ensconced at th...e mouth of Lookout Valley, with Smith in posses- sion of the adjacent spurs, and Palmer occupying the approach. Every detachment engaged in the com- bined movement has successfully accomplished its allotted task. As its crowning results, the enemy is put upon the defensive ; the road is free to Nash- ville ; artillery horses are again seen in the streets, and steamboats at the wharves, of Chattanooga ; food and ammunition flow in ; and, with full rations, and confidence in the ability of a commander who works such miracles, the soldiers again assume the air and bearing of conquerors.
