The news from Tennessee, furnished by the Yankee papers, is of a most unpleasant character; but it must be received with the usual allowance. They tell us that, Hood having sent off his cavalry and part of his infantry towards Murfreesboro', Thomas attacked him in his entrenchments, drove him out, and pursued him eight miles, capturing a thousand prisoners. Though we are positive that this story is not true, and though we have a hope that it will turn out that Hood was on the move towards Murfreesboro' when Thomas dashed into his evacuated lines and pursued his retiring columns, yet we cannot forget how the fall of Atlanta was brought about, or at least precipitated, by Hood's sending off his cavalry on a distant expedition; and this recollection is fraught with uneasiness. The Yankee account will be found in another column. We hope, in a few days, to have our version of the affair, when we feel assured that the reverse to our arms, if any has occurred, will be found to be much

Id carrying the enemy's breastworks.

a and Tennessee railroad, one of whom escaped from the enemy at Glade Spring, and the other went out from Lynchburg on an engine to make a reconnaissance. These officers also report that the enemy has destroyed every bridge on the railroad between Glade Spring and Max Meadows. Yankee papers confirm our surmise that Stoneman was in command of this raiding party. The news from Tennessee. The news from Tennessee, furnished us by the Yankee press, is not of the most delightful and cheering character, certainly; but we have the consolation, upon which we can always rely where their statements are concerned, that matters are not half so bad as they represent. Thomas says that, on the 16th, he again drove Hood before him and captured thirty cannon. If he has thirty of Hood's cannon, they were captured not on the 16th alone; but the number is made up by adding together the captures of the two days. The reader will find the Yankee accounts in another column of to-day's paper.

The official dispatches from Nashville report stlay as thick on the contested line as the rebels had stood there.
