Greenville, Tenn. (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 2
It really seems to be the most difficult matter imaginable to get reliable news from this quarter. We get all sorts of rumors and reports from couriers, scouts, and the reliable gentleman, also, comes in to bear the burden of a portion of the blame for the many miraculous "yarns" we hear in this section as well as elsewhere in the broad limits of our Confederacy. Yesterday evening I telegraphed you from Bristol to the effect that our forces had advanced as far as within five miles of Greenville, Tenn., and that the enemy were reported evacuating East Tennessee. Indeed this was the news we had at these headquarters, until about 2 P. M., this day. It turns out that the enemy's pickets only fell back a short distance in front of our lines at Limestone, and from this fact the report originated in relation to the falling back. Yesterday morning they made another strong picket advance, and sharp skirmishing ensued in the vicinity of Limestone. Late in the afternoon of yesterday our for

King, of that command, I will take occasion to return thanks for the hospitality extended to me at that place. Since writing this morning I have seen a Major who made his escape from Cumberland Gap who furnishes a complete list of the regiments and batteries captured at that point. The artillery captured consisted of Leyden's Georgia battery, as previously reported, Barnes's Georgia artillery, and Fains's Tennessee battery. Infantry: 64th North Carolina, 64th and 62d Virginia, and 55th Georgia. Only about 250 or 300 of the garrison are now thought to have escaped, a majority of whom belonged to the 64th Virginia. Burnside, it is said, left the gap on last Friday with a brigade for Knoxville, leaving only two regiments to guard it. The reported fight sent you Wednesday evening by telegraph is said to hav

rough the adjacent counties, as far as Knoxville, are represented to be using all their exertions to aid their Yankee brethren, and it is to be a rather dangerous experiment for a man loyal to our cause to go among them. Of our situation and defences it may not be prudent to say much, but I will state that the disposition of our forces in this vicinity is such as to inspire hope, and has allayed the fears of many citizens who were making preparations to become refugees. The militia of Sullivan county have been at this post for ten days past, and were discharged this evening and returned to their homes.
