Movements of the enemy in Tennessee.

Savannah, June 14.
--A special dispatch from Chattanooga, dated yesterday, says:

‘ The enemy's entire force of infantry, cavalry and artillery, under Gen. Morgan, Federal officer, is reported to have crossed Big Creek Gap yesterday, to Powell's Valley, twenty miles west of Cumberland Gap, threatening the latter place in the rear, and Knoxville. Our forces are preparing to meet them.

’ Five hundred of the enemy's cavalry are reported this morning as Battle Creek, twenty-seven miles from Chattanooga, on the opposite side of the river. It is supposed to be the intention of the enemy to invade East Tennessee from both of these points. Every effort will be made to hold Chattanooga.
