embrace the Yellow Tavern on the north, run down nearly to Wyatt's crossing, two miles this side of Reams's, in a southerly direction, and on the east include the residence of Dr. Gurley. On the west, they approach as near Vaughan's road as it is deemed prudent to carry them. The enemy has largely increased the number of his pickets at the point last named. Death of General John H. Morgan. Authentic information was received in this city Last night that the enemy surprised Greenville, Tennessee, on Sunday, killing General John H. Morgan and capturing all of his staff. General Morgan's body was expected to arrive at Bristol last night. From this fact we infer that the enemy do not now hold Greenville. Greenville is fifty miles southwest of Bristol, on the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad, and about seventy miles from Knoxville. "Baldy" Smith relieved. The Petersburg Express states that General Baldy Smith has been relieved from the command of the Eig

powerful battery, and that sundry Yankees narrowly escaped with their lives. The latest. Passengers by last evening's train reported that yesterday was remarkably quiet, not more than five or six guns having been fired during the day. We can only say that the Yankees, in failing to disturb the religious services of the day, differed very materially from their usual practice on such occasions. The situation in front continues unchanged. East Tennessee. Since the affair at Greenville, nothing of importance has occurred in the Department of East Tennessee. The enemy, at last accounts, was at Bull's Gap. After the death of General Morgan, General Vaughan was placed in command of all the cavalry of that department. Brigadier-General Cosby, late of the Army of Tennessee, having reported for duty, has been assigned to the command of Hodge's brigade. Colonel Basil W. Duke, an officer of rare merit and gallantry, is now commanding Morgan's troops. General Echols has done

nd a true Southern woman. She would be the last person in the world to entrap even an enemy by professions of friendship and hospitality. She was a personal friend of General Morgan's. She knew nothing of the enemy until they had surrounded her house, when she at once roused the General from his sleep and assisted him to escape from the house. She has a son, an officer in our cavalry, and has done as much for our men and suffered as much from the enemy as any one. The "Mrs. Williams" suspected of betraying Morgan is the wife of a near relation of the old lady, of the same name, whose husband is at Knoxville. She was herself a guest of the house, and may, or may not, have given the information. If she did, it was a work of supererogation, for the town was full of bitter tories. From the moment Morgan reached Greenville, a hundred hostile eyes were on every motion he made. Instant and accurate information was sent to the enemy by messengers more certain than any woman could be.

General Moroan's horses. --When General Morgan was killed, he had in his possession four valuable horses. The finest of these he rode in his last march, and he was captured at Greenville when the General fell. The three others were sold at Abingdon, Virginia, on Tuesday last, at public outcry. One was a bay saddle horse, and the others a pair of blacks, well matched. They were sold separately, and brought respectively, the bay one thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars, and the others two thousand one hundred dollars and two thousand dollars. Neither horse sold for much more than half his real value.

proceeded to his room as usual. It being quite warm at the time, the supposition is that he must have taken a seat in the window, the of which is only a few inches from the floor, and fallen out while asleep, or walked out of it while in search of water, without knowing what he was doing. The door to his room was fastened on the inside, and had to be forced open. Mr. Cooke was a man of great wealth, and had the reputation of being very kind and charitable towards those who were in needy circumstances. Several soldiers' families in his neighborhood were supported entirely from his bounty. He had been married twice; his second wife being a daughter of Hon. John Y. Mason, formerly United States Minister to France, and leaves a family of seven children. Soon after the accident, his friends took charge of his remains and had them properly uncoffined, after which they were deposited in a private vault in Hollywood Cemetery till they can be transferred to his home in Greenville.

Among them are the gallant Lieutenant-Commanding Reed, of the memorable little privateer Tacony, who was capture while trying to carry a captured steamer out of Portland (Maine) harbor. He has been a prisoner nearly two years. Affairs in East Tennessee. The enemy which so recently threatened Bristol are now fifteen miles below Greenville, Tennessee, and have taken refuge and Bull's gap. General Vaughan, when he defeated them at Greenville on Wednesday, took thirty prisoners. Our loss was only two killed. One of them was Colonel John A. Rowan, of the Sixty-third Tennessee, a gallant officer, who was buried at Bristol with military honors. Crawford, the Lincoln elector, spoke at Newport, Tennessee, on the 10th, and announced that he would speak in Bristol on to-morrow, which it is hardly likely, under the circumstances, he will

uthwestern Virginia. We have, through private letters and other trustworthy sources, positive intelligence relative to Thomas's movements and force in East Tennessee.--There is little doubt that he is preparing a grand "On-to-Richmond" movement through Southwestern Virginia. His column, which is already in motion, consists of not less than twenty thousand men,--the latest advices state, seventeen thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry,--the greater part of which are at Bull's gap, ten miles east of Morristown and eighteen miles below Greenville. He is advancing leisurely towards Bristol, rebuilding, as he advances, the East Tennessee railroad.--His objective point is believed to be Lynchburg. A report reached here yesterday, by telegraph, that Gillem, at the head of the Fourth Yankee army corps, was moving down upon Bristol, and that Stoneman, with a heavy cavalry force, had started from Knoxville on a raid into North Carolina, with Salisbury as his objective point.
