The Daily Dispatch: January 26, 1864., [Electronic resource], 25 reward. (search)
re of Gen. Vance, of North Carolina, in East Tennessee, is confirmed. He was sent to Knoxville. The following is an account of it from a letter dated Asheville, N. C. January 18: On Wednesday last, Gen. Vance, with about 150 men entered the village of Savie sville, about 28 miles southeast of Knoxville, and captured a Federal foraging train of seventeen wagons, loaded with flour, &c. He was making his way out in this direction, and on Thursday had reached Cos by's Creek, when about 1 P. M, he was attacked by a regiment of Federal cavalry. Gen. Vance and about seventy-five men were captured. The Federals then returned in the direction of Knoxville.--He ordered Col. Thomas, who was some twenty miles distant, to join him with a portion of his command at Cosby; but for some reason his orders were not obeyed. Henry's cavalry and our artillery passed the same place next day and reached New port safely. They learned from the citizens that Gen. Vance had been sent to Knoxville.
