The enemy are in considerable force at Knoxville. They have never been further East than within a miles or two of Carter's depot, 12 miles this side of Jonesboro', which place they demanded the surrender of, but the demand not having been complied with they failed to attempt its enforcement. Cumberland Gap is still held by our forces. The Lynchburg Republican says: As we have before announced, the Yankees captured at Knoxville a freight train of fourteen cars. Three days afterwards they came up to the neighborhood of Watanga bridge with the train loaded with soldiers, supposed to be between 600 and 1,000 men in number, and demanded a surrender of the bridge and the force at that place. Gen. Jackson, who commanded the bridge, refused to surrender, and determined to resist any attem

o Jonesboro' two days after they captured Knoxville, whereas without the trains they could not have made preparations to move there under two or three weeks by the ordinary roads, and they would no doubt have been assailed on their march by the loyal Southern men and some of their wagon trains out off. They now have command of the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad from Jonesboro' to Knoxville, a distance of a hundred miles, and of the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad from Knoxville to Loudoun, a distance of thirty miles, and have three trains to give them facilities for moving troops and supplies. Mr. Branner, the President of the East Tennesse and Virginia Railroad, has been much, censured for suffering three of his trains to be captured by the enemy, and some even suspect him or his conductors or engineers of disloyalty. We hope such is not the fact; but some one has been guilty of such gross blundering as to amount almost to a crime. We understand that a squad of

abolical spirit of revenge, the scenes that will occur in East Tennessee will exceed anything recorded in history, and will be a sad commentary upon the great leniency with which they have been treated by the commanders of the military department of East Tennessee, for they have been most sedulously protected both in their persons and property. From information which the Atlanta Intelligencer, of Saturday evening last, deems reliable, it would appear that the enemy are crossing the Tennessee river below Bridgeport, in large force, and it is anticipated that the battle, which cannot be delayed many days longer, will take place in Northwestern Georgia. This movement of the enemy is for the purpose of flanking Chattanooga, and compelling Gen. Bragg to abandon that almost impregnable position. Whether he will succeed or not, cannot yet be determined.

The capture of these trains to us was very unfortunate. It enabled the Yankees to come up to Jonesboro' two days after they captured Knoxville, whereas without the trains they could noo amount almost to a crime. We understand that a squad of tories at Jonesboro' took a young man by the name of Harris out of his bed at that place, and shot him in the presence of his family. We also learn that another squad hung a man at Morristown by the name of Drury Morris. We learn that neither Harris nor Morris were particularly obnoxious to the tories.--The former was a private in the Confederate service, and the latter was no way connected with the Government, except as a pork pac
