ntelligent set of gentlemen, and to Adjutant John G. King, of that command, I will take occasion to return thanks for the hospitality extended to me at that place. Since writing this morning I have seen a Major who made his escape from Cumberland Gap who furnishes a complete list of the regiments and batteries captured at that point. The artillery captured consisted of Leyden's Georgia battery, as previously reported, Barnes's Georgia artillery, and Fains's Tennessee battery. Infantry: 64th North Carolina, 64th and 62d Virginia, and 55th Georgia. Only about 250 or 300 of the garrison are now thought to have escaped, a majority of whom belonged to the 64th Virginia. Burnside, it is said, left the gap on last Friday with a brigade for Knoxville, leaving only two regiments to guard it. The reported fight sent you Wednesday evening by telegraph is said to have taken place at Cotton Port, on the Tennessee river. It still remains uncontradicted, and is credited here. O. K.

The Western situation. All eyes and hearts are now turned towards the lines between Tennessee and Georgia. We quote some comments from the Atlanta Intelligencer, of the 15th instant: Gen.

To resist the combined forces of the enemy the abandonment of our line in East Tennessee towards Knoxville was determined upon, in order to concentrate Buckner's forces with Bragg's. In the meantime the enemy, crossed the river at Bridgeport, and attempted a flank movement on our left by Wills's Valley, towards Rome, threatening Atlanta and the heart of the Confederacy. Thus, to use a figure in chess, the enemy attacked with his Knight both our Queen, Atlanta, and one Castle, Chattanooga. Did it require a moment to decide what should be the mov

exception, believed they could hold the place and were eager to try to do so. We learn from one of the persons who was there that there were 12 pieces of artillery planted, and that the General would not allow the men to spike the guns. Lt. O'Conner and his men pitched their guns over a precipice some thousand feet high, and the balance, 8 or 10 in number, fell into the hands of the enemy uninjured. Gen. Frazier was under the impression that the place was invested on the south by Gen. Burnside and on the north by Gen. De Corsey, each with a very large force. Others thought the forces were mere detachments from the commands named, and not very formidable in numbers — certainly not strong enough to take the position, had it been bravely defended. Our forces in the Gap were estimated at something like 3,000, about 1,800 of whom were captured, the balance making their escape. Col. Slemp, of the 64th, escaped with all his Captains except one, and all his Lieutenants except t
