| Knoxville, June 22 |
| The raiders left here on
Saturday at 10 o'clock and reached Strawberry Plains at 5 p. m. After
a brief fire of half an hour our troops were captured. |
| The enemy paroled 130
prisoners. They burnt the bridge {on the East
Tennessee & Virginia RR}, depot buildings and three or four
private dwellings, and filed others, and proceeded to New Market by
Mossy Creek, on Sunday, where they burned the bridge, tore up the
railroad track and cut the wires as far as they went. |
