East Tennessee. --We understand that intelligence was received at the war office yesterday to the effect that Rosecrans and Burnside, after having chased our forces out of East Tennessee, had fallen back to secure their prize. It is the hardest East Tennessee, had fallen back to secure their prize. It is the hardest blow that has been struck us since the beginning of the war. Two thirds of our nitre beds lie in that region, and a large proportion of the coal which supplies our foundries. It abounds in the necessaries of life. It is one of the strongest countri As the possession of Switzerland opens the door to the invasion of Italy, Germany, and France, so the possession of East Tennessee gives easy access to Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The Yankees have great reason to rejoice ovow, that Rosecrans never meant to follow Bragg farther than was necessary to get him out of the way. He means to hold East Tennessee, and a railroad is already being made to the Blue Grass country in Kentucky. He will then have access by rail to Cin

Meeting of Tennessee refugees, Etc. Atlanta, Sept. 16. --No communication is allowed with Bragg's army and the rear. Trains run to Dalton.

The capture of Major McCann. --The Nashville Union, (Yankee, of course,) has an account of the capture of Major Dick McCann, the famous Tennessee "guerilla," at Weams's Springs, near that city. The capture was made by two companies of Federal cavalry, and this is the way it was done: McCann's men were laying siege to a hearty breakfast, their horses were in the stables, they themselves unconscious of the presence of an enemy, when the mounted infantry and cavalry approached. The ad. We have seen and conversed with Major McCann for hours, and in spite of prejudices previously formed against him, we were favorably impressed by his candor and manner. He is married, having four children now in Nashville, his wife being in East Tennessee. At the time of his capture we learn that he had some 600 guerillas organized for the purpose of beginning in a few weeks a system of raids upon the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville and Chattanooga railroads, in which he expected to re

Later from the North. We have received, through the Agent of the Press Association, the following extracts from the Baltimore American, of the 14th and 15th inst. From Tennessee. A telegram, dated Chattanooga, 12th inst., says: No details of Gen. Negley's engagement at Dry Gap have come in. From all that can be gathered, the casualties were light. Gen. Negley retired three miles to the foot of Lookout Mountain. Gen. Baird's division was also engaged.--Dry Gap is four miles north of New Lafayette, where the main column of Bragg was at the time of the engagement. It is thought that Bragg feared to lose control over his line of retreat to Rome, and was retreating slowly to avoid a repetition of the scenes of the Tullahoma retreat and prevent straggling. Nevertheless, large numbers of deserters come in daily. Three hundred of the 19th Tennessee regiment came in a body. Gen. Crittenden is reported to have occupied Lafayette to-day, and the army is

The situation in Tennessee. --The Columbus Sun, of Friday last, says the grand drama is drawing to a close — the denouement will soon be revealed — expectation is on tiptoe. Chattanooga and the whole line along the Tennessee has been evacuated by our troops. The Sun adds: Our lines now extend from Cleveland to Dalton, and from thence to Kingston.--Rosecrans, with a boldness foreign to his character, and ignoring the usual policy of the Abolition Generals, has thrown a heavy column would compel the foe to a anion the whole country at once. If there is to be a fight, we hope this will be the result. The only cause for apprehension is the Rosecrans will in all probability decline a general engagement, fortify Chattanooga, and prepare to organize and abolitionize the state Government of Tennessee. We are assured, however, that every effort will be made to force him into a battle, and if these efforts prove successful, the "situation" will undergo a very material chang
