We lost two or three locomotives
and about twenty cars on the Tenn. & Va. R. R. {the
trains lost may have belonged to the Virginia & Tennessee RR, but
the two stations mentioned are both on the East Tennessee &
Virginia RR} One of the trains, we
understand, was sent down to Morristown, which had been a depot for
supplies for Cumberland Gap, to take off stores, and the engineer
traitorously run the train through to Knoxville. The regular train
went to some other point, (Jonesboro', we believe,) and the enemy, who
had secreted themselves to await its arrival, captured that. We are
not advised as the place of capture of the rest.
