y evening General Breckinridge, having marched out from Saltville, attacked the enemy at Glade Spring, and gained a decided success, and that he renewed the attack early on Monday morning, compelling the enemy to retreat precipitately towards East Tennessee. This report is not confirmed by any official intelligence received at the War Department, but we see no reason to discredit it. If General Breckinridge had collected such a force as would at all justify him in leaving his entrenchments, thee has done so; and it is just like Stoneman to be cut down in mid career, as he was during his last raid in Georgia. From Hood's army. We are again, and are likely to be for a week to come, dependent upon the Yankee press for news from Tennessee Unofficial telegrams from Nashville state that they have at that place five thousand prisoners and forty-nine pieces of cannon, taken from Hood during the battles of the 15th and 16th.

"Several gentlemen of Bristol escaped from there on Thursday morning. They report that, up to the time of their leaving, the town was held by a small force of the enemy, who had not burned any private property nor the Virginia and Tennessee depot.--They captured the train of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad and burnt it. Conductor Scrags, Mr. Bigble, express agent, and Mr. George A. Kinnier, acting mail agent, were all captured. Two trains, with their engines, belonging to the East Tennessee road, were destroyed. These gentlemen say that the Yankees report their force at ten thousand, but this they think an exaggeration. They estimate it at half that number, including two regiments of negroes. Upon leaving Bristol, the whole force, except the guard left in the town, went to Abingdon, the main body going thence towards the salt works, and the raiders keeping down the railroad. "It is reported, and believed, that a battle was fought at the salt works on Friday evening

Murder of Captain Frank Gurley. --The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle of the 18th says: "A party of Confederate scouts, just from Tennessee, report, among other items of news, that the Yankees have killed Captain Frank Gurley. It will be remembered that Captain Gurley was the man who killed the Yankee General McCook, while riding in an ambulance, in Tennessee, last year. Gurley were McCook's sword, and being captured some time afterwards, was recognized by the Yankees, who had sworn vTennessee, last year. Gurley were McCook's sword, and being captured some time afterwards, was recognized by the Yankees, who had sworn vengeance against him, by the sword. They tried him by court- martial and convicted him as a bushwhacker, though they well knew that he was a commissioned officer of General Forrest's command. He was sentenced to death, but the violent threats made by General Forrest of retaliation in the event of injury to Gurley caused a postponement of the execution. Forrest, if our memory serves us, threatened to shoot ten Yankee prisoners if Gurley was killed."
