The Fourth Army Corps, a part of the 23d, and their entire cavalry force, moved up to a point between Dandridge and Morristown.
Our forces were moved down to meet them on the 14th.
After placing h as it would have been under a leader like Ransom or Hampton, this would have been the last week for Federal forces in East Tennessee.
Wherever they met our men they showed that they were utterly demoralized, and depended entirely on their fleetness have been in imminent peril.
As it is, the movement has been full of fruits.
We now occupy or control that part of East Tennessee capable of sustaining our army.
