East Tennessee.

--The Bristol Register states that General Vaughn's scouts have been within four miles of Knoxville. No enemy is reported this side of Strawberry Plains. Union citizens still consider the Federal evacuation of East Tennessee as a probable occurrence at an early date. It is very evident the force at Knoxville will not attempt any offensive movement in this section pending the operations of Hood in Middle Tennessee. A portion of Burbridge's force is at Bean's station, whether for the purpose of watching Vaughn's movements, or of guarding the road towards Cumberland gap, under the expectation that the garrison at Knoxville may have to get out by that route, is not known.
