| From East Tennessee |
| Cars {on the East
Tennessee & Virginia RR}, under a flag of truce, have been
running for some days past as low as Greenville, Tennessee. They bring
up citizens who refuse to take the Yankee oath -- among them the
families of Dr. Ramsey and Col. Crosier, of Knoxville -- and take down
all who are hungering for it. A correspondent of the Bristol Gazette
writing from Kingsport, says: |
| Two brigades of the enemy are at Mossy
Creek; one regiment at Strawberry Plains; two small brigades at Bull's
Gap. No force in East Tennessee but the 23d army corps. Their cavalry
have gone to Cleveland, Tenn. Mr. Kealor's daughters and Miss Guffy
were shot dead two days since by some renegades who were endeavoring
to rob their house. |
