The news from Tennessee.

The reported raid of the enemy, by way of the Tennessee river, upon the town of Florence, is confirmed by dispatches received yesterday. We still cherish the hope that our forces in that quarter will thwart their design of getting possession of the railroad, and inflict summary chastisement upon the audacious invaders.

We publish this morning the Federal accounts of the capture of Fort Henry, from which it will be seen that they are making the most of it.
