Cumberland Gan.

No doubt now remaining of the surren-
der Of Cumberland Gap. It was by nature
the strongest position on the American con-
tinsnt. What few artificial aids were nee
essary, on the western side, had been sup
piled by General Zollicoffer; and when the
Yankees held it a year ago, they rendered
its defenses perfect On the east. This i'm
pregnable position has been surrendered to
the enemy. at the first summons, without
the firing of gun.
It was held by about twenty FIVE hum
dred men--we have been informed that
they were Georgia and North Carolina
troops under a Mississippi Brigadier.
named Frazier. Atone time, according to
our correspondents in that quarter, this
officer had been ordered to evacuate the po-
sition, but he asked leave to remain aud
bold it. declaring that be had provisions in
abundance, and could hold it against any
force. He was thereupon ordered to hold
lit to the last extremity. and informed that
he would be relieved very shortly. The
result is before u.s. The investing force
was seven regiments of Yankees, say thir-
ty-fve hundred men. The men in garris-
on at the time, did not all surrender. Sew
eral hundred escaped with their arms.
These men believe that the place was be-
trayed, and denounce Frazier as second
Pemberton. They assert that none Of the
officers we're consulted about the surrender
and that the first notice they had of the
affair was the change Of flags. The public
can we'll imagine the feeling which has
been produced in that whole country by this
extraordinary transaction The points al
| luded to give but faint idea Of the tone of
the letters in our hands. An army quite
sufficient for the protection of the Salt
Works aud surrounding region, has been
turned over without a shot to the enemy
We have still a force left under Samuel
Jones. in whom great confidence is felt !:
but the fate Of Southwestern Virginia and
East Tennessee will turn upon the battle
which must soon be fought iu the region
about Chattanooga E.run1iner.
