t upon Cumberland Gap, is probably twice as large. At the same time that we hear of the retreat of Colonel Williams upon Pound Gap, we hear apprehensions expressed for the safety of General Zollicoffer, at Cumberland Gap. The object of the enemy in pushing forward these columns is probably threefold. The chief purpose, doubtless, is to bring into its own support the large disaffected element of the population in East Tennessee, which have been corrupted by the clamor of Andy Johnson, Maynard, Brownlow, and Trigg. The next object of the enemy is, probably, to get possession of the salt- works in the Western corner of Smyth co., where half a million of bushels of salt a year are now manufactured. And last, but not least, the enemy aims at the possession of a portion of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, so as to cut our direct communication, from the Seat of Government, with Nashville, Memphis, and our armies in Western Kentucky.

They may lack skill with artillery, but they are masters of the rifle, and know how to make that instrument speak a language before which the stoutest invader must recoil.
