The Pursuit of Longstreet---Rcport
Capture Of his Guns and Train.

a>hingloD, Dec. 10.
The Star furnishes the following in

kilograms were received here last eve
ming from Knoxville up to Yesterday
morning. Gen. Foster had assumed COM
mand OF the troops lately under Burnside,
and the latter had de par,ed from the city
for Cincinnati. All then quiet in the vi.
entity of Knoxville.
1t was stated there on the authority Of
scouts and messengers that much of Long
streets artillery and train had fallen into
lhe hands OF our pursuing force, but this
lacked confirmation.
The region in which the pursuit is
now being made is so far distant from the
telegraph as to make it difficult to verify
such statements
Thoug!. Gen. Butler and member of
the Sanitary Commission, now at Fort
Monroe, have telesrapbed to the Govern
ment here that the rebel authorities have
stopped The distribution of supplies sent
TO the Union prisoners in their hands, we
are notified that, up to this time, no1in-
10 NATION had reached Washington indi-
eating that anything like an official rebel
notice has been communicated TO either
Gen. Butler or Gen. Meredith. The fact
that Ould, the rebel Commissio ner of ex-
change, promptly replied yesterday or
the day before to Gen. Buffers tender of
vaccine matter. 10 be used among the
Union prisoners. tbat it would be dis
posed OF promptly as required, leads us
to hope there may be some sad mistake.
