From the Richmond Dispatch

East Tennessee Railroad
   The officers of this railroad {East Tennessee & Virginia RR} have succeeded in getting an engine and train of cars eases the Holston river, near the burnt bridge at Union, so that freight and passengers can now be transported between the two bridges recently destroyed by the raid of the enemy. Transportation is going on over the whole line with slight interruption. Such as running a train of cars the bed of a river, through the water, has hardly ever before been accomplished.
