From East Tennessee.

-, a citizen OF East Tennessee, who left
Knoxville, on, tho 18th ult., informsus
thai, from the best sources Of .afospna.
lion he had access 10, he i. satisfied that
a part of Burn,:.1.22's 5 :5ree, brought .oIsr
the 4nountain by way Of Jim Town,
crossed the TennesseeRiver al Kingston,
and vent downto Rosepcranz, and that
tie forcs which occupied East Tennes-
see did not number over 1000 or 5000.
When lie was in .Kuoxyille he learned
that E"rnside sent Gao men up towards
Jonesboro, and only forty of Them re,
turned, the rest having been killed or
captured; that it was reported that tho
I'd tennessee Federal regiment Had en-,
eou9tered General Jackson somewhere
about Jonesboro,. and lost about 400 in
killed and wounded A prominent
East Tennessee tory said that Burnside
informed him that Lopgstrscts CORPS,
Of thirty. regiments, supposed to lie Is
ooo strong, were at Bristol, and march,
ing towards Knoxville. The Federal
torce at Knoxville WAS preparing To-
move towards Jonesboro, and when our
informant crossed the 1Iolston River, at
Louisville, eight or ten miles below
Knoxville, The guard Of 200 men there
bad been ordered up to Knoxville, TO
proceed with the rest of their commaiid.
Neither Broynlow nor ANDY JOHN
son had reached Knoxville, and il was
| said they were. waiting for the railroad
TO be open from Nashville, via Chats,
nooga, TO Knoxville, which wonh take
place in few weeks. The FeJerals
counted confidently on the completion
of this connection, and said they we're
dependent on that for supplos, and
could not hold East Tennessee long uu>
less they got them. Our. ilformapt
learned from a prominent East Ttnncs>
sec tory; who returned from Kentucky
with the Yankee army, that 5000 ne
groes had been impressed in kentucky
to complete the Knoxville and Ken
lucky Railroad to Danville, Kt. The
road is.now graded, with tho exception
| of Copper Ridge, TO Clinton; and the
frails are down about twGive miles out

testimony upon which this finding is based has
been SO widely circulated; 90 favorable TO Gen.

bearing uron the reputation Of General Pop<
as an officer and man Of veracity, that acqui-
escence IN The verdict OF the court will not be
r, ady or by any mt universal. The xeae-
ures which have been taken by General Popeie
friends 10 prejudice the public mind will not
tend TO increase confidence in the result OF the

10 comment upon the evidence brought for ward
IL the trial. Such tz parte staismen Is, oWeyer
ncmirally the Proceedings" of a Court Mar

OF our government is al stake upon its fairness
FOR the sake OF Justice, if not of his own past
services, tie good name Of tried and galiant
soldier should be protected from such under

They raise cloud of suspicion around that

If personal ieaiousy or political design ha.

this Court Martial will not escape a merited
and hateful immortality in history"
