| The Yankee raid in East Tennessee |
| We have had but few additional particulars
of interest concerning the audacious raid of the enemy in East
Tennessee, to these given yesterday. It is stated by passengers
yesterday from the West that the force of the enemy is supposed to be
exaggerated, as they are now believed to number only some 1,500 or
2,000 men. There are three regiments, one from each of the States of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. The Lynchburg Republican says: |
| Near the bridge across the Holstein river an engine,
belonging to the East Tennessee {& Virginia}
railroad, was found on a slung, which was run into the river
and badly damaged. |
