isted in the capture of Stoneman's column. When Hood moved into Tennessee, the Fourth was employed for some time in the Tennessee valley. After the battle of Nashville it was assigned to Forrest's corps, and surrendered with his troops at Gainesville. Col. A. A. Russell was twice wounded; he was early placed in command of a brigade, and the regiment was for a long time under command of Lieut.-Col. Jos. M. Hambrick, who was wounded at Calhoun, Ga.; Capt. Thomas W. Hampton was killed at Mossy Creek; Capt. Oliver B. Gaston was captured, and died in prison; Capts. Henry F. Smith, W. C. Bacot, Flavius J. Graham and David Davidson were wounded.

ys later a Federal column commanded by Colonel Sanders crossed this river higher up for the purpose of attempting a much bolder and more important reconnoissance. Traversing the whole Cumberland plateau, Sanders had suddenly made his appearance in East Tennessee, passed between Kingston and Clinton, reached and destroyed the railroad at Lenoir Station; then, making a feint in the direction of Knoxville, had passed north of that city, cut the railroad once more at Strawberry Plains and at Mossy Creek, and finally re-entered Kentucky by way of Barton village. General Burnside had ordered these reconnoissances in order to pave the way for the army he was to lead during the summer into East Tennessee—a country which, as we have already stated, had remained faithful at heart to the Union, although in the power of the Confederates, and whose conquest, for this reason, appeared to be an easy task. But Sanders had found that the forces occupying that section of country were numerous, and,

rds in the neighborhood of Blain's Cross-roads, Parke sends his cavalry to the left shore at Nance's Ferry, and pushes it, via New Market, on the Russellville road, while at Strawberry Plains the railway-bridge over which will cross the infantry and the artillery is being repaired. General Sturgis, who has replaced Shackelford in the command of the cavalry, promptly reaches New Market, and on the 28th he advances with an infantry brigade of the Twenty-third corps to the railway-bridge on Mossy Creek. Martin, who had hastened to meet him with his two divisions, attacks him vigorously on the 29th. The Federals, posted beyond the stream, are soon reduced to the defensive: their artillery, seriously threatened, is saved only by the tenacity of the infantry and by a fortunate charge on the part of the First Tennessee cavalry. At last they succeed in repulsing the assailants, but they must await the arrival of Parke to resume the offensive. In the mean time, Grant, leaving Nashville,

the enemy paroled 130 prisoners. The enemy burnt the bridge over the Hoiston, the depot., and several private dwellings, rifling several others. Then they proceeded to New Market, eight miles east of Strawberry Plains, and on Sunday to Mossy Creek, four miles farther, where they burned the bridge, tore up the railroad track, and cut the telegraph wire and poles. On Monday, between Mossy Creek and Morristown, 42 miles east of Knoxville, they were confronted, in front and rear, by the telegraph wire and poles. On Monday, between Mossy Creek and Morristown, 42 miles east of Knoxville, they were confronted, in front and rear, by the commands of Gens. Jackson and Pegram, and Col. Scott. It is rumored and believed that we took all their artillery, and dispersed their whole force — our cavalry pursuing and capturing prisoners. In the fight of Saturday our loss was six killed and nine wounded; the Yankees twenty one killed and wounded. No injury to property here.

, where Bird formerly resided, and where he captured some artillery, The Bristol, Tenn., Advocate, of the 25th inst., says: When they reached the bridge at Strawberry Plains on the E. T. &Va. R. Road we understand that they met with some alight resistance before they succeeded in burning it. --Our forces there, however, succeeded in making their escape, losing their artillery (five pieces) and a portion of their small arms.--After destroying the bridge at the plains they came on to Mossy creek and there destroyed another bridge. Here they resolved to rest a while, turning, their stock, into the grain fields adjacent thereto. Learning, by some 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 o

been in a position to reinforce Joe Johnston heavily. A telegram from Atlanta, dated the 4th, says: We have news by passengers from Bragg's army, which we deem reliable, that the most important movements are going on, and a fight is considered imminent. We are confident that Morgan has done a grand work in Rosecrans's rear — destroying his trains of supplies, cutting off detachments, &c. We have reason to fear that the Yankee cavalry are making demonstrations, and perhaps attempting a raid through North Alabama upon Northeast Georgia. It was reported last evening that Rosecrans is falling back, and Bragg sending heavy forces back to Tullahoma. There has been no raid on the East Tennessee roads since Sam. Carter's raid on Knoxville. The bridges over Mossy Creek and Flat Creek, on the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad, have been completed, and trains now meet at the Holston river, at Strawberry Plams. The bridge at that place will also be completed in a short time.

that place. He is now a refugee from his home, and, although exempted by age, is in the service of his country, doing all he can to drive the vandals from the land he loves so dearly. But I have left my subject. From the gentleman who left Mossy Creek I learn that the enemy are being heavily reinforced — no less than six batteries having passed up, with large infantry supports, a few days before he left. The Yankees who have occupied East Tennessee are said to treat our soldiers with perfeirth and his country's institutions made him one. Hassell turned off whistling, and said no more. When the train was captured at Knoxville Col. Foster compelled Mr. Branner, the President of the road, to get on the train with the soldiers at Mossy Creek, and go up the road with them. They stated that they were going through to Bristol. Branner expostulated with them, but was forced to go. They passed on safely until they arrived at Jonesboro', wholesome of our men had moved the switch, and

her with cavalry on our side. Col. Crow, of Morgan's division, attacked the enemy near Dandridge, and captured a battery, with the exception of one gun, which was afterwards recaptured, but the enemy were driven back to their entrenchments at Mossy creek. Maj. Ball, of the 6th Georgia, was killed in an engagement on the 29th. Gen. Martin's entire cavalry attacked a superior force of the enemy at Talbot's Station, and after a stubborn resistance, drove them back four miles. They were reinfriven back to their entrenchments at Mossy creek. Maj. Ball, of the 6th Georgia, was killed in an engagement on the 29th. Gen. Martin's entire cavalry attacked a superior force of the enemy at Talbot's Station, and after a stubborn resistance, drove them back four miles. They were reinforced by a division of infantry, which drove Martin back, with considerable loss. The enemy remain at Mossy creek, strongly entrenched. The railroad will be in running order to Bristol in a few days.

Affairs in East Tennessee. --The Columbus (Ga.) Sun, of the 23d, says: If the half of what we hear from this unfortunate region is true, it bids fair to rival Mexico in its palmiest days of anarchy and social crime. A low Dutchman, from from the political cesspools of Northern Europe, is in command of the district between Knoxville and Greenville. is said to have twelve thousand ruffians under his command staff fled along the railroad from Strawberry Plains to Mossy Creek. Their conduct is most wanton and outrageous, exceeding anything that has transpired during the war. A few days since they burned the fine mills and private dwelling of Mr. Massengill, on the Holston river Massengill was an old man some eighty years of age. His wife, about seventy years of age, was lying at the point of death when the ruffians applied the torch to her bed room. She asked them to carry her out of the room, and not to burn her alive in her own houses. After some hesitation the leader
