rps that came to the relief of the Burnside garrison has gone back to Chattanooga, Gen. Longstreet has ample force to whip the Burnside fraternity. Two young men sent by Gen. Vaughan to the rear of the force advancing to relieve Burnside from London, on the morning of the day that the place was evacuated, arrived here yesterday. They furnish some interesting details of the enemy's strength, intention, destination, &c. They found the reinforcing column to consist of Sherman's; Howard's, and Hooker's corps, numbering in all about 18,000 men, with one brigade of cavalry and twelve pieces of artillery. The force came hurriedly, leaving no pickets behind. They made a detour to the right from London and went to Morgantown, where they tore down some old alone houses, and built pontoons, on which they crossed on the 30th inst. In conversation with citizens, they told them that they came only as a raid to relieve Burnside. Having done this they would return to the Army of Chattanooga.

From East Tennessee. Our forces in East Tennessee have settled down in winter quarters at Morristown. Our cavalry is daily skirmishing with the enemy, who is now back at Knoxville. Maj. Gen. McLaws has been ordered to report at Richmond. The order is based on disagreement between the Commander-in- Chief and himself, and does not in any way impugn his courage or capacity. A letter to the Atlanta Register, giving an account of the recent fighting between Longstreet and the enemy, says: Longstreet's advance, consisting of Major-Gen. Martin's cavalry, met the enemy near Mooresburg. After a spirited engagement the enemy gave back in the direction of Bean's Station. Near that place they made a desperate stand, in some force, consisting of mounted infantry and artillery, and some cavalry. Brig.-Gen. Gracie was then ordered forward with his brigade of infantry to rout the enemy. This was done in magnificent style. The enemy gave way in confusion in the direction of Ru

as done in magnificent style. The enemy gave way in confusion in the direction of Rutledge. He lost thirty men killed and one hundred wounded. He was slightly wounded himself in the elbow. In the meantime the enemy had placed one regiment of infantry and a small squad of cavalry in the Gap, north of Bean's Station, to prevent any movements on their flank. Giltner's brigade of cavalry was sent to capture this force. They gained the summit of the mountain without giving any alarm. Col. Carter's 1st Tennessee was then dismounted and completely surprised the enemy. --Fifty-six of the enemy fell into their hands and fifty-two wagons, thirty-two of which were loaded with coffee and sugar. The remainder were loaded with flour and canvas hams. If the men had done as they were ordered they might have captured the entire command, but they commenced plundering wagons instead of pursuing the enemy. This has ruined the success of many engagements — made its fruits barren and unsuc

Evidence of this was leaving no force at Cleveland, Charleston, nor none of the immediate towns or posts from Charleston to Loudon. Another letter says: Supplies are abundant all over the country — corn, wheat, pork, and beef, by the millions, enough to supply our army for months. It is to be hoped that the Administrat
