Atlanta (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 3
The Situation in Tennessee. The Atlanta Confederacy, of the 24th, has an article (written of course before the reverse of Gen. Bragg) which shows that the impression prevailed that Grant was reinforcing Burnside. The Confederacy says: In front of Chattanooga active movements are in progress upon both sides. The indications are that the enemy is removing large bodies of troops into East Tennessee. Our movements will be governed by those of the enemy. We may add, in this connection, that it would not surprise us if the next general engagement is fought upon the Kingston Plains. We hear of shelling on yesterday from our batteries on Lookout. The enemy are suffering extremely from the want of firewood. ss The Atlanta Register, of the 24th, has the following relative to affairs in East Tennessee: We are advised that Burnside, with twelve or fifteen thousand men, is now cooped up at Knoxville. The place is strongly fortified. Gen. Buckner had begun a system o

From what we have heard and know of Longstreet his impatient spirit will hardly brook the delays of a siege. The heights will be carried by storm if Burnside will not retreat across the Holston. Wheeler and Ransom are now beyond the city, and thus Burnside is cut off from communication with Cumberland Gap. If he crosses the Holston he will be lost in the mountains of North Carolina, and his escape would be as remarkable as that of Xenophon's ten thousand. But he has not retreated yet. The success of Gen. Bragg's strategy depends upon two events — the capture of Knoxville and the failure of a rise in the Tennessee. If the Tennessee become navigable, Grant's armies will be abundantly supplied, and they can at once flank Bragg and move South, when another fierce conflict will speedily occur, the result of which we do not fear.

Twenty thousand Federals were, on Saturday, at Trenton, a place thirty miles Southwest of Chattanooga, at the terminus of the Wills Valley Railroad.

Five hundred tents or more disappeared in Chattanooga on Saturday, and there seems to be a considerable diminution of the Federal force at that point. Bragg is on the qui vive.

The place is strongly fortified. Gen. Buckner had begun a system of earthworks, which the Federals have perfected, before, under the orders of Gen. Bragg, he abandoned the city. We learn that before Longstreet had reached Knoxville, Burnside had gathered there a large supply of corn and wheat, and that two mills of the city have been for some time past constantly used in the production of flour and meal. The Yankees, then, have enough bread and water, and hence the stronghold cannot be reduced by famine. In addition to this supply
