From East Tennessee. Passengers recently from East Tennessee state that the Yankees who made the late raid into that section had succeeded in reaching Moccasin Pass, some twenty-five miles from Bristol, our forces not having come up in time to attack them. Some censure is attached to Gen. Marshall for not moving with that celerity the occasion demanded. Had he done so, it is believed the enemy might have been easily overtaken.

Provision has been made for the conveyance of passengers between the Holston and Watanga rivers in stages, for consequences of which there is but a few hours delay. It is said that energetic measures have been taken for the reconstruction of the destroyed bridges, and that over the Watanga will, perhaps, be completed in about two weeks so as to allow the passage of the trains. The Holston bridge, being a much more extensive structure, will require a longer time.

[Associated press dispatches]from our army in Tennessee.Dispatch from General Bragg.the enemy retiring to Nashville. Chattanooga, Jan. 5. --Dispatches from Wartraed state that the enemy had not occupied Murfreesboro' this morning. Reports were still coming in that the enemy is retiring to Nashville.--Parties just from the front report that Morgan attacked and routed a force of the enemy as Gallatin.

My cavalry are close on his front. [Signed,] "Braxton Bragg."

0,000. The latter number, we conjecture, is larger than our entire force under Bragg. The figures may be too large; but they argue, at least, an immense loss by the invaders. The retreat from Murfreesboro' is unfortunate for us and for the Commanding General. Retreats are generally considered defeats, and though our General carried off his prisoners, &c., the moral effect of the move robs him, in a measure, of the meed of his achievements in the two first and glorious days before Murfreesboro'. The new position, it may be supposed, is still favorable for strategic movements, if reinforcements can be in time brought up. General Johnston will no doubt repair to the scene, and do what is possible to put our affairs in proper trim, and arrange for the defence of East Tennessee--a part of the Confederacy that we cannot afford to lose. We have faith in our men and in the Commander of the Southwest, and we look for brilliant advantages for our cause during the winter campaign.

The Yankee cavalry raid in East Tennessee, The New York Tribune devotes a column to a great cavalry raid by Major Russell, with 3,000 Kentucky cavalry, into East Tennessee. The Tribune says the Union cavalry passed between Cumberland and Pound Gaps, reaching the town of BluntsvilEast Tennessee. The Tribune says the Union cavalry passed between Cumberland and Pound Gaps, reaching the town of Bluntsville on the 29th, destroyed the railroad and the telegraph lines for miles. They destroyed the large and magnificent bridge over the Holston river, capturing 100 rebel cavalry guarding the bridge. They proceeded to Jonesboro', where they captured and partied a telegraph operator, destroyed two more bridges and immense stores, and cutting off completely communication with the West. After accomplishing this brilliant feat, (says the Tribune,) the Union cavalry returned without the loss of a m
