The cause of Morgan's raid into Ohio.
--The Paroled Prisoners,--The Atlanta Confederacy publishes a letter written by Lieutenant-Colonel R. W. Alston, Morgan's Adjutant-General, to a friend, which gives us the only intelligible reason for Gen. Morgan's raid into Ohio which we have yet seen.

The situation in East Tennessee.
--The Atlanta Register, of the 4th inst., has the following "latest intelligence" about affairs in East Tennessee:
To-day our railway trains probably cross the Hiwassee at Charleston, and then will run as far as London, 28 miles from Knoxville.
We have quiet possession of London, and during the day we shall know what the enemy is doing beyond.--The impression prevails that the Federals have fallen back to Knoxville.
According to our latest advices there were Federal forces at Carter's depot, 20 miles below Bristol.

From the Wataugua to Knoxville, about 90 miles, the Federals roam at will.
Within the current week we shall hear that all Yankee forces in Northern East Tennessee have been forced back on Knoxville.
