Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
East Tennessee.
Knoxville, Aug. 18th, 1861.
Affairs in East Tennessee are becoming more settled.
Mr. G. W. Bridges, who was elected to the Northern Congress from the Third District, was arrested near the Kentucky line, brought here, and has been released by Gen. Zollicoffer, after proper acknowledgment or his allegiance, &c. The only danger now apprehended is, that of an invading army via Kentucky, and of that our authorities are fully advised.
Gen. Zollicoffer will not be caught unprepared.
