Union Bridge   {East Tennessee & Virginia RR}
   The Knoxville Register says the bridge across the Holston river at Middletown, known as Union bridge, was burned by a party of Lincolnites, forty or fifty in number, from Carter county. They captured the sentinel, and carried him a mile and a half when they made preparations to hang him, but at the intercession of one of the party, he was released upon taking the oath of allegiance to Lincoln's Government.
