zOLLICOFFER'S RETREAT TO CUMBERLAND GAP.
From the Nashville Patriot
The Nashville Patriot SAYS of the retreat Of |
Zollicofer to Cumberland Gap:
We have seen and conversed with the Sher- !
if Of Knox county, Mr.. Crippen, who arrived |
that Col. ChIrchweu, last Sunday night, at IL |
o'clock, dispatched from Cumberland Gap, to |
Lieut.. Iuttrell, at Knoxville, to send all the |
ordnance AID ammunition aud forces there to !
the Gap, in the quickest possible time--au |
thoIizIng him to Pres into service ANYTHING
necessary to facilitate the transportation. |
Gen. Zoliicoffer IVES expected at Cumberland
Gap Monday or Tuesday.
This dispatch w5s received in Knoxville, at
II o'clock, Monday, and vas read by Sfr.
Crjppen.

large to hold Camp Buckner, at Cumberland;
Ford, and falls back on the Gap, as stronger
position.

force fight and oblige Us to go to his asst

reliable information that tie rebels have fallen
back from Cumberland Ford to Cumberland

wa1ch OUT operations. Before retiring they
demolished their Notifications. But they
bsge received reinfo7cements. and they are
cow fifteen Thousand strong. And it Ia
believed that Zollicofer has been super
g. ded by military man, b:cause the reb.l5
havs demolished their old defsnsice zeorks at The
Gap, and are constructing mew ones Every
move ment they make seems to indicate thst
Junction tactics, and every movement {?) we
make demonstrates that our Generals ire At
tached TO the Washington tactics It seems
as though We we're cursed with military Sci

gallant soldiers required to wait until the reb-
Schoepf, am glad to say, denounces the watt
ing policy vtheMenfly. have every reason
