From Tennessee.

Chattanooga, April 22.
--The enemy, 8,000 strong, advanced upon the village, five miles this side of McKinnville, and destroyed locomotives.

McKinnville is reported to be in possession of the enemy. The enemy are also reported in force near Wartrace.

The fight at Tuscumbia was a desperate hand to hand conflict. Sixty-six prisoners captured by Roddy's cavalry reached Chattanooga this evening — mostly mounted infantry. Yankee officers say we will be forced to give up Tuscumbia.


[Second Dispatch.]

Tullahoma, April 21.
--A bridge has been burnt near McMinnville, and telegraphic communication interrupted. It is not supposed that McMinnville is in the hands of the enemy.
