The Daily Dispatch: June 27, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Yankee raid is East Tennessee (search)
e means that our forces were advancing upon them from both East and West, they saddled up on Sunday night and struck direct for Kentucky. The last we heard of them they had crossed Clinch river with Gen. Pegram's forces in pursuit of them. So soon as Gen. Jackson learned of the advance of the enemy he made a call upon the true men of upper East Tennessee to rally and assist in driving the enemy back, and we are proud to know that old Sullivan nobly responded to his call. Near 500 of her citizens repaired to Zollicoffer for the defence of the bridge at that place, on Sunday and Monday last.--Nearly every male citizen of Bristol who was able to bear arms responded to the call. None could be found who betrayed the slightest disposition to shrink from duty. The number of negroes and horses and other property stolen by them as said to be immense. The public must wait a day or two to learn the fate of the raiders. They may escape, but some one will be hurt in their egress.
