--The
Bristol Register gives us the latest news from
East Tennessee, from which it appears that great alarm and uncertainty exists among the
Federal in that quarter:
"Our scouting parties report no Yankees this side of
Bean's station, in
Grainger county.
They were told by citizens that those Federal who came to that place from
Cumberland gap were ordered, in a double quick, towards
Knoxville.
In consequence of the appearance of Federal troops at
Bean's station, presenting the attitude of a flank movement, our forces were induced to fall back some distance, having important wagon trains to protect.
But, on yesterday morning,
General Vaughan commenced an advance movement, being determined to find out the force in front of him. We shall not be surprised to hear of his turning up close to
Knoxville. "
