| A dispatch from the
Superintendent of the {Virginia &}
Tennessee Railroad, dated Glade Springs, 24th, says the Yankees came to
Bristol yesterday about 12 o'clock, and proceeded to burn the bridge,
drove off the force engaged in rebuilding, threw down the portion which
had been put up, and burnt all the cattle guards between that point and
Bristol, and destroyed the water tanks at Bristol, &c. We now have a
sufficient force at Bristol and the bridge to protect them, and will
have the bridges up so that the trains can pass tonight. |
