nature, has been uniformly kind, and there is little reason to believe that it will not be equality so in the present instance. A majority of the ladies of Knoxville are warm Southerners, and there should be no apprehension that these noble-hearted women will prove recreant to the humane instincts and abundant sympathy which they have ever manifested in relieving the needs of suffering humanity. The present position of the army is all that could be desired. On the one flank we have Clinch river and Clinch mountain, on the other flank the Holston river, while the whole country abounds in strong points capable of easy defence. We are within a comparatively few miles of the Cumberland mountains, and occupy a threatening relation to West Tennessee and Kentucky. The success of the campaign would undoubtedly have compelled a retrograde movement of the forces at Chattanooga. It is not uncertain that our very presence here at this time may not lead to an entire alteration of the plan

Four valuable locomotives and a great number of box-cars, loaded with stores, were run into the river, several pieces of artillery which could not be removed mat with the same fate, and, in a word, everything was destroyed which could afford "aid and comfort" either to the enemy or ourselves. On the 1st or 2d of the present month the advance of the Federal cavalry arrived at London. A few hundred Tennessean, under Gen. Vaughn and Col. Rucker, (of Island No.10 memory,) made a brief stand, but being overpowered by the superior numbers were compelled to retreat, and the town once more fell into Federal hands. Our long wagon trains were now hastily set in motion, and on the night of the second moved around Knoxville, and traveled several miles on the Morristown turnpike, at which point they subsequently halted and awaited orders.

ers an interesting letter from "Personnel," the army correspondent of the Charleston Courier, who is now with Gen. Longstreet's command. His reference to the barefooted soldiers of the command cannot tall to elicit the sympathies of our people, and some effort should be speedily mush to furnish these gallant soldiers with shoes. The letter is dated near Rogersville, East Tennessee, Longstreet's corps, December 11. We make the allowing extracts: The failure of our troops to capture Fort Sanders on Sunday, the 29th inst., as demitted in a former letter, necessitated a speedy change in the position of the army. At this time Knoxville was invested on nearly every side, and the Federal ware restricted in their rations. Five days more would have starved them into a surrender; but we could not wait for the event. The enemy's cavalry were already on the line of railroad between Knoxville and Chickamauga. Communication with Gen. Bragg had been severed, and London was threatened. A

The success of the campaign would undoubtedly have compelled a retrograde movement of the forces at Chattanooga. It is not uncertain that our very presence here at this time may not lead to an entire alteration of the plans of Gen. Grant, including the abandonment of his designs on Northern Georgia, and a retreat to some point where he can at least protect his line of communications with Nashville and other locations in his rear. The operations for the winter may be at an end, but the approaching spring promises to open a grand campaign, to whose success we may confidently look for a glorious redemption from the chains which now enthrall out land.

f the Federal cavalry arrived at London. A few hundred Tennessean, under Gen. Vaughn and Col. Rucker, (of Island No.10 memory,) made a brief stand, but being overpowered by the superior numbers were compelled to retreat, and the town once more fell into Federal hands. Our long wagon trains were now hastily set in motion, and on the night of the second moved around Knoxville, and traveled several miles on the Morristown turnpike, at which point they subsequently halted and awaited orders. Burnside meanwhile was firing signal guns to notify the advancing Federal that he still remained in possession of Knoxville, and would hold out until their arrival. Under these circumstances nothing remained for Gen. Longstreet to do but to quietly remove his army, and transfer his base to a point where he could threaten Knoxville from the opposite side of the town, and establish communication with Bristol, Lynchburg and Richmond.

Rice, and Lieut.-Col. , of the 17th Miss. regiment, all wounded, succeeded, I believe, in making their escape. At a quarter to 10 in the evening the army left its encampment in the following order: Hushrod Johnson in front, next McLaws, and in rear Jenkins. Our skirmishers, under Lieut.-Col. Logan, with the 5th South Carolina regiment, Col. Coward, acting as a reserve, remained, until an early hour in the morning, and then quietly filing from the entrenchments, pursued the road taken by the main body. The Federal were so near that we could hear every football on the frozen ground; but either the strict silence we had observed or the burning fires deceived them, and no attempt was made to follow

Longstreet to do but to quietly remove his army, and transfer his base to a point where he could threaten Knoxville from the opposite side of the town, and establish communication with Bristol, Lynchburg and Richmond. These intentions were known to President Davis in advance, and if I am not uninformed, his Excellency himself advised with Gen. Longstreet on the subject, and left to his discretion the plan of campaign to be pursued in the future. Our intention to retreat was not unknown to the enemy at Knoxville, and all day Thursday and Friday their pickets would frequently taunt our own with the question, "I say, reb, when do you expect to leave?" There was no attempt made, however, to obstruct our movement, with the exception of a little m
