BRIsroL, Tenn, November 2s.-Persons
from the vicinity of Knoxville or Tuesday last
represent that the city was then completely in

The enemy has evacuated all that portion of
East Tennessee, and has rctrcated to Cumber-

The "ENGLIsH' IMPORTED Goops.-Thc re-
naming cargo of the Margaret and Jessie,
blockade running steamer, captured by the
Fulton, has been taken out at New York
Most of the original cargo had been thrown
into the sea or burned before she was captured
A New York paper says:
1t is noticeable fact that most of the smaller
articles constituting the cargo such as smatchcs,
blacking brooms. DC, are Of New York manu-
factnrc, and evidently recently exported. 1t
appears when the Fulton first hove in sight the
captain employed all his time-neary four
teen hours-in the destruction of the freight.
