ttacked Strawberry Plains, seventeen miles east of Knoxville, at 5 P. M. After a brisk fire of half an hour, our troops surrendered to superior numbers, and the enemy paroled 130 prisoners. The enemy burnt the bridge over the Hoiston, the depot., and several private dwellings, rifling several others. Then they proceeded to New Market, eight miles east of Strawberry Plains, and on Sunday to Mossy Creek, four miles farther, where they burned the bridge, tore up the railroad track, and cut the telegraph wire and poles. On Monday, between Mossy Creek and Morristown, 42 miles east of Knoxville, they were confronted, in front and rear, by the commands of Gens. Jackson and Pegram, and Col. Scott. It is rumored and believed that we took all their artillery, and dispersed their whole force — our cavalry pursuing and capturing prisoners. In the fight of Saturday our loss was six killed and nine wounded; the Yankees twenty one killed and wounded. No injury to property here.

that ten thousand had crossed to this side of the Tennessee. The Lynchburg Republican of yesterday learns from various sources entitled to credit, that. A force of the enemy, estimated at 1,400 cavalry, with military, are certainly at Morristown, which is a depot on the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, about thirty miles this side of Knoxville. They are in possession of three trains, one of which they captured in Knoxville, the other two were taken on route from Bristol. The train that left the latter place on Wednesday was captured on its arrival in Knoxville, but the conductor made his escape. They captured the telegraph operator at Morristown, and one report is that they got three operatives, but this is doubtful. It is said that the force of the enemy operating in that region is not Burnside's command, but bushwhackers and sharpshooters under Carter, composed of Union men of East Tennessee, and that Buckner with his command was absent from Knoxville, which be

ident of the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, Mr. Branner, was on the train, and was thrown out of the cars and had his face considerably bruised and cut.--On their way up from Knoxville to Watauga bridge the Yankees captured two trains at Morristown, which is about half way between Knoxville and Jonesboro'. The capture of these trains to us was very unfortunate. It enabled the Yankees to come up to Jonesboro' two days after they captured Knoxville, whereas without the trains they could noo amount almost to a crime. We understand that a squad of tories at Jonesboro' took a young man by the name of Harris out of his bed at that place, and shot him in the presence of his family. We also learn that another squad hung a man at Morristown by the name of Drury Morris. We learn that neither Harris nor Morris were particularly obnoxious to the tories.--The former was a private in the Confederate service, and the latter was no way connected with the Government, except as a pork pac

d destroyed their commissary depot. They continued their flight to Boggy depot, on Red river. The Indian Territory is now clear of rebels. Blunt is marching on Fort Smith, which will doubtless fall without a struggle. Burnside's operations in Tennessee. A Washington telegram, dated the 7th inst., says: Official information is received here from Gen. Burnside up to the 4th or 5th inst., stating that part of his cavalry forces had arrived at Knoxville, while others were at Morristown and Loudoun, on the line of the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, which towns are northeast and southwest respectively from Knoxville. It is represented that when Gen. Burnside arrived before Kingston the enemy fell back and retreated. At this point a cavalry force, sent out from Gen. Rosecrans's army at Chattanooga, eighty miles to the south, joined Gen. Burnside's forces. The latter pushed on his column to Loudoun, where a sharp fight took place, but the enemy was completely

Virginia line, and a good deal of alarm was said to exist among the people of Southwestern Virginia. It was deemed prudent to remove the deposits of the banks at Abingdon to this city. The Bristol (Tenn.) Advocate says: That Burnside and Brownlow are both in the city of Knoxville making public speeches to the people; that the latter is issuing a newspaper in the city, that they have imprisoned Kirkpatrick, of the Chronicle, and that they hung the enrolling officer, Morris, at Morristown, are rumors that have not been confirmed. That two women were wounded in Jonesboro', claimed to be by accident, is confirmed. From the Atlanta Appeal. of Wednesday, the 9th, we get the following: We begin to have something definite as to the situation of affairs in the Northwestern part of the State, where quick and important movements are now taking place, and a battle of the greatest moment will undoubtedly be fought without delay. The Confederate troops have all been w

ve and terrible fire was opened upon them, causing their solid columns to waver, break, and finally retreat in great confusion. The rout was complete. The position lost before was regained, and the battle field held until 12 o'clock at night, when it was discovered that large columns were advancing to the right and left, with a view of completely surrounding the little army.-- Scouts came in from every direction, confirming the information that Burnside, with his entire army, had reached Morristown and Bull's Gap, with the additional intelligence that one or two brigades had reached Rogersville, from which point his rear could be easily reached. In this state of things Gen. Williams was compelled to withdraw, and did so at once, quietly, and without the loss of a single man. Before daybreak he was attacked at Henderson's Mill, six miles from Greeneville, by Foster's brigade, consisting of the 5th and 65th Indiana, 4th Illinois, and 8th Tennessee regiments, with two pieces of artille

ters. He reports the enemy's entire force at 14,000 men — that they are so much frightened that the mere approach of our troops will stampede them. Twenty thousand hogs are en route from Kentucky for, Knoxville. Five thousand have been collected in East Tennessee and are at Knoxville. One thousand wagons are coming over the mountains, loaded with clothing, &c., for Wheeler's boys. Burnside's Assistant Adjutant-General wrote a letter to his quartermaster in Kentucky, stating that they had only ten days rations on hand, and God only knew where the next would come from. This letter is in the hands of Gen. Wheeler. Gen. Vaughn is with Gen. Wheeler. Troops in fine spirits. Southern people hail our return with delight. Be of good cheer — all is well.
