--By a gentlemen who left
Chattanooga Saturday night, we learn something of the movements of our army there.
Some new-made graves of the
Federals had disclosed their contents — not of ‘"bones to ornament the necks of Southern viragoes,"’ but good substantial brass cannon and stores of munitions of war. Several interesting discoveries of this character were made.
The evacuation of
Cumberland Gap, we are informed, was dictated by two considerations.
One was that a fight would never be tendered us or be possible in that position; and the other was that the supplies in that region had all been exhausted, and it was exceedingly difficult to subsist a force there.
It was believed in
Chattanooga that the bulk of
Halleck's army were on the march to
East Tennessee.
What was doing on our side it is best not to say. Informant thought we should soon hear of brisk work there.--
