A party of citizens of Bristol armed themselves and requested Capt. Miller to take commanBristol armed themselves and requested Capt. Miller to take command of them for the purpose of aiding in the arrest of the traitors who had burned the bridge, which he did. It appears that Gen. or Col. Clarkson, with about 150 men, had previously gone in search of the scoundrels. The Captain and his party left Bristol about 9 o'clock Sunday evening, and marched in the direction of Elizabeth-town, the county seat of Carter county; he had not proceeded very far before he fell in with Col. Clarkson, under whose orders he subsequently acted, and was detailated that two of their party were killed in the first encounter and seven wounded. The bridge which was burned near Bristol was 590 feet long. At the meeting of citizens held this evening, for the purpose of devising means for obtaining a supp

Quite a long time ago, say twenty- five years, considerable attention was paid to the culture of cotton in some of the Southeastern counties of this State; and before gins had come in general use, a "cotton picking," on a long winter's night, was deemed by the boys and girls in the country an important institution. I have just learned something further about the firing this morning. It appears that a Federal steam tug on passing Hoffier's Creek, fired once or twice at Grimes's battery, a short distance below, on the south side of the river. The fire was returned quite briskly at the tug Possibly the Yankees desired to ascertain the range of our guns. I have not heard that any damage was done. There have been some arrivals of new corn in our market, and sales made at 52 cents. The receipts of corn for the past two weeks sum up about 60,000 bushels — sales ranging at 40a65 cents, according to condition and quality. Flour has advanced, owing to the fear of

[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk Nov. 13, 1861. It was rumored here this morning that the Pig Point batteries had been attacked by Federal ships, and much inquiry was made to ascertain whether or not there was any foundation for the report. I do not think there is any truth in the statement. Some big guns were heard in the city at a very early hour, which perhaps caused the circulation of the report.

Latest from Tennessee. Proclamation from Gov. Harris -- great excitement in East Tennessee--large Union camps at Elizabethtown and Strawberry Plains, &c. Nashville Nov. 12. --The Union and American will publish to-morrow an address to the people of Tennessee, issued by Governor Harris, in which he calls upon the people to furnish every double-barreled shot-gun and rifle they have, to arm the troops now offering their services. He says that the State must and will, to the full extent of its resources, and shall be protected. He declares that he is resolved to exhaust every resource of the State before the feet of Federal invaders shall pollute, with impunity, the soil of Tennessee. Parties who arrived here to-day from East Tennessee report that there is great excitement, and many fear that there will be a general outbreak.

morning from the President of the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad: Jonesboro, Nov. 13.--The Union men have a camp of from one thousand to thirteen hundred men at Elizabethtown, near the North Carolina line, and, about twenty miles from Bristol. They have another camp, with about seven hundred men, near Strawberry Plains. Both camps are increasing in numbers, and it is said they threaten to take possession of the railroad and burn all its bridges. A report had been current that the Unionists had taken possession of Bristol, but a dispatch to the Superintendent of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, at Lynchburg, shows that the report is unfounded. [second Dispatch.] Lynchburg Nov. 13. --10 o'clock P. M.--The Western train due-this morning has just arrived. It brings through mail dates as late as Knoxville, the 10th inst. Passengers say that the reported damages by Union men have been much exaggerated. Knoxville has been placed under martial law.
