From Cumberland Gap.

--The Lynchburg Republican, of yesterday, says:

‘ On the letter bill received here Saturday evening from Cumberland Gap, dated the 12th, the postmaster at that place writes that the enemy was then in sight, and that a fight was expected the next day, (the 13th,) Thursday last.

It is the design of the enemy, doubtless, to make a powerful effort to get possession of Cumberland Gap, and thence make an advance into East Tennesses, towards Knoxville. There was a rumor in the city yesterday of a fight, but we could trace it to noreliable source.
