The enemy in Bristol — our force Fallen back.

[Special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch]

Lynchburg, Oct. 16.

--The enemy occupied Bristol, Tenn., Wednesday evening, and our forces fell back to a point in the vicinity of Abingdon, where there was fighting this evening — the result unknown.

The enemy's force is estimated at between 6,000 and 8,000, composed of Foster's brigade of cavalry and four or five regiments of East Tennessee tories.

They are all doubtless endeavoring to get possession of the salt works, with the intention of holding Bristol as a base for future operations.
