FIGHTING IN EAST TENNESSEE.

A force OF the enemy supposed to num-
Der S or 10000 attacked our force, num-
bering about 1890, under the command
Of Genl w Villains at Bible Ridge. six
miles west of Greenville, on Saturday,
the 10th inst. General Williams force
fought galiantly, defeating and inficting
severe less on the enemy. Our loss in
the engagement was about 50 killed and
30 wounded. Apprehensive of flank
movement, our forces withdrew 20 Hen
derson's, L miles east of Greenville. and
another engagement took place there
and at Rhea Town, on Sunday, in which
our forces fought desperately, cutting
their way through four regiments OF the
enemy who were supported by artillery,
and had succeeded in reaching our rear.
Our men tell back to Zollicoffer, and
remained tlere until the Yankees, heav-
ilv reinforced, advanced upon them,
when they were withdrawn to Bristol
Onr loss in both days fight was estina-
ted at 300 killed and wounded. Mum
bers of our wounded fell into the hands
OF the enemy.
The Union men in East Tennessee say
that the Yankee loss is estima' ed at L.
200 killed and wounded.
Gen. Joe Hooker is in command in
East Tennessee, and Burnside has left,
having resi- gned or been dismissed.
1t is reported that on Wednesday the
enemy occupied Bristol, situated on the
line between Virginia and Tennessee
Great APP. rehensions for the safety of
the Salt Works were felt, as it was fear
ed that the enemy would get there be-
fore we could send sufficient force to
save them. This would be great loss
greater than the loss Of a battle. We
are encouraged to hope, from the fol-
lowing in the Lynchburg Republican of
yesterday, that this loss will not be in
ficted:
st was stated on Saturday night, as
coming from a reliable source, that the
Yankees, after burning all the bridges
between Bristol and Abingdon, have la
ken the ! ack track. Ifthis be true, the
Salt Works are relieved from the threat
ened attack"

The MONSTER GUNS AT CHARLESTON

The MONSTER GUNS AT CHARLESTON.
The Augusta Chronicle understands
that the second monster gun in Charles
ton has been tried lately under the di-
rection of board of officers with entire
success, throwing its huge pr.jectile over
two miles at an elevation Of only two de-
grees, the gun being not yet ready to
fire at a higher angle. This is far be-
yond anything ever done by artillery be-
FORE These immense rifle guns are
constructed on a new principle which
permits enormous charges ofpowder to
be used safely, and thus imparts the re-
quired momentum to the ponderous
shells and solid bolts.
The injury sustained by the first gun
was an oversight, and it is understood
from good authority can be efectually
repaired. The powder to be used with
these guns is now being manufactured
at the Government Powder Works, and
is quitea curiosity, looking like anything
else than gunpowder; the grains-if they
can be SO call d--being solid blocks
looking like ebony, one inch square; it
would be supposed that they were pro
jecti.es themselves by their appearance,
each grain weighing about one ounce.

Braces ARMY REVIEWED BY PREsI-
DENT DAVIS. : The President reviewed
the army and works before Chattanooga
on Saturday. He had an excellent OPP
portunity to scan those of the enemy also,
and availed himself of it largely. His
reception by the troops was enthusiastic.
He rode along the entire line within
reach of the enemy's shells. Not gun
was opened on him. The Yankees lined
their works at every available point of
view, and doubles were aware of the
presence Of the President, as the pickets
hold frequent conversation, 1t is not
known whether the President made any
changes. The army is in fine condition,
and most anxious to comence active ope-
rations.

halfpast 6 o'clock nine prisoners confn-
ed in the jail attempted to make their
escape, six of whom were captured be-
fore they had gone great distance, but
the other three succeeded in getting a.
way. When a young man, acting in
tho place of the jailor in his absence,
went into the room to place the hobbies
on one of the prisoners, they struck him,
and rushed out of the door.

NICE PATRIOTS.

We hear of men, says an exchange,
who have plenty Of hogs and corn to
fatten them, fattening just enough pork
to do them. The idea is to keep the
Government from getting it. and . It It he
ankees DO net ggt ss all such "patrioticu
hogs and their pigs, too, the Devil will ;
which amounts to the same thing, in
Dutch. Just think OF it! A man with
Country, Liberty, Prope rty, everything
at stake, and trembling in. the balances,
willing to lose all rather than let the
Government get piece of his meat!-
Why, if the hogs themselves had say
50 in the matter, they would scorn such
littleness of soul and contemplate sell
fshness, if they did not cut their own
Threats in utter shame of their mean
ness and want Of patriotism.
