From Cumberland Gap.

A letter from a gentleman in Gen. Smith's army dated near Cumberland Ford, the 21st inst., confirms the report of the surrender of the Federal forces at the Gap. The letter further stated that on the 18th a mail bag from Morgan's army to Buell was captured, informing him of the dangerous situation of his command, and further, that he then had in camp only twelve days half rations, and asking that he be reinforced or a diversion be made in his favor.
