Colonel Turchin's command may be expected via Bellefonte. Yours, very truly, Jas. S. Negley, Brigadier-General, Commanding. General O. M. Mitchel, Huntsville, Ala. Shelbyville, Tenn., June 12, 1862.

We opened on the 8th at 9 a. m. and continued six hours upon the town and rifle pits, driving the enemy out and forcing him to abandon his works and evacuate the city. They burned several railroad bridges to prevent pursuit. The Union people in East Tennessee are wild with joy. They mee
