om East Tennessee. Bristol, Dec. 21. --Officers from the front state that our forces are moving forward in the direction of Knoxville. The country between Bean's Station and Morristown has been cleared of the enemy. Only three hundred prisoners were captured in the engagement at Bean's Station, as the men stopped to pillage the wagon train, which was loaded with coffee, sugar, canvassed hams, and shoes. But for this many more might have been captured. Reports from below state that Imboden and Echols have surrounded the Salem raiders, and that the entire party will probably be captured. The enemy have burned their wagons and destroyed their artillery to prevent their falling into our hands. The railroad between this point and Lynchburg will be in running order by Saturday. Dalton, Ga. Dec. 21.--The enemy's force at Cleveland consists of about forty men, who are acting as couriers between Chattanooga and Knoxville. There is nothing of importance from this point.
