Mobile, August 7.--A special dissipate Advertiser and Register, dated. day, says: ‘ Heavy skirmishing commenced Tuesday with a large portion of the enemy, at Tagowell, seven from Cumberland Gap. One brigade of Gen. Stevenson's force was engaged on our side. The design was to gain the enemy's rear and cut them off from the Gap. The artillery firing was very heavy. Several prisoners have been brought in from Tazewell. No particulars of the fight received. Gen. Rains at last accounts was a forced march to gain the enemy's rear. Brigadier-General W. R. Caswell was this afternoon assassinated by an unknown person, near his residence, six miles from Keozville. ’
