The Daily Dispatch: September 3, 1863., [Electronic resource], Evacuation of Knoxville. (search)
Evacuation of Knoxville. --The town of Knoxville, Tenn., was evacuated by our troops on Monday, and on Tuesday was occupied by the Yankee forces under Burnside. The Yankees came in so soon after the evacuation that they captured two or three trains of cars which had been left there by our troops. We hear nothing of the locality to which Gen. Buckner's command retreated. It is supposed that the burning of a bridge on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad prevented the removal of the cars noticed above as being captured. This feat was doubtless performed by the tories with which East Tennessee abounds.

Rosecrans stopped over-night at the residence of Mr. Rankin, in Sequatchie Valley, on last Th

They were seen yesterday cutting away the undergrowth in front of the rifle pits on Scotts Hill, which they occupied when Burnside and Hooker were in Stafford, and it is supposed they again intend to make the Stafford hills bristle with siege guns. Their cavalry can be seen patrolling up and down the river bank all day long. The larger portion of their force is above Falmouth, near the fords, where they crossed under Hooker to meet their last disaster in that neighborhood. One monitor and three large gunboats passed up the Rappahannock about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, supposed to be on the look out for the captured steamers Satellite" and "Reliance. Passengers on the down train, on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad, while at Hamilton's Crossing, about 12 o'clock yesterday, heard heavy firing in the direction of Port Royal. It commenced about 4 o'clock in the morn
