Yankee raiders drowned.

--The Knoxville (Tenn) Register has the following paragraph:

As the Federal raiders came into East Tennessee, in fording at Esquire Montgomery's ferry, on Clinch river, some fifteen of them were drowned. No halt was made by the Yankees to look after their missing comrades. Five of the bodies were recovered from the river and buried by our soldiers and loyal citizens.
