The storm has certainly gathered, and the thunderbolt is forged and ready to be launched; but we hope that the movement in East Tennessee will serve as a conductor, and that if the lightning be not stayed altogether it may at least be diverted from our devoted heads. Up to five o'clock this afternoon no intelligence had been received at headquarters of any engagement in the neighborhood of Knoxville other than that between Wheeler and the Federal cavalry, in which we captured about 300 prisoners, killed and wounded about 100, and drove the enemy from Maryville back into Knoxville.

The success of Gen. Bragg's strategy depends upon two events — the capture of Knoxville and the failure of a rise in the Tennessee. If the Tennessee become navigable, Grant's armies will be abundantly
