   Colonel Wood, of Knoxville, writes that last night Hiwassee bridge and two other bridges of railroad near Chattanooga were burned. Attempt on Strawberry Plains bridge failed. No cars from the east; feared that the Union bridge is destroyed. I sent one regiment to Knoxville. Carroll's brigade, ordered to report to me, not heard from.
