II. last Of December the Yankees make raid in.
t. East Tennessee, which produced great moving
xbont Of orr troops Immediately the tories along
the mountains between n. 9. and Tennessee broke
t in large force to rohbing end plunderng the de-
fenceess citizens, upon which great part of n.
C:.rolina's troops were called back to defend their
own homes and have been scouting, marching and
co::ntermarcking through the mountain fastpesses
fc'ting tories as they are likely to do for mon,
and probably over. What sick there are in this
department are scattered all over the country, lie
priving one Of the privilege of visiting but few Of
them They are at Knoxville, Morrstown, Clinton,
Jacksboro', Greenvlle, and various other places.
As to the spiritual condition
Of our troops in this department. can only say i;
is not the most favorable. Few Of these here IN
Fast Tennessee have seen an enemy, and so "a,
as preaching is concerned they appreciate it very
lnGe, yet they respect the colporter.'
