   The siege of Knoxville was raised last Friday night. Our forces are falling back slowly to Morristown, where a stand will probably be made. The work of putting the East Tennessee & Virginia Rail Road in running order to that point will be rapidly pushed forward by Col. Owen, {President} of the Virginia & Tennessee Rail Road, who is entrusted with it.
