GENERAL BURNslDEs REVERSE

WAsHlNGrox, November lit was stated
several dayg ngo that two of General Burn
sides most easterly outposts in Tennessee
had been attacked by the rebels, and half Of
the garrison, consisiing of two regiments aud
a battery, had been captured. General
Grant dispatch did not designate the exact
place where the disaster occurred, nor did it
state the strength OF the rebel force, nor the
probabIe number of killed and wounded on
cur side.
The Republican this p. NJ says General
Burnside telegraphed that the disaster referred
to occurred at Rogetsyille, Hawkins county,
Tennessee.
This place is the terminus on the branch Of
the East Tennessee & V r. r, and is silua-
ted fifteen miles from knoxville
General Burnside also states that the rebels
captured coo men and four cannon. He does
not mention the number Of his killed and
wounded. His main army is where it was
when the attack was made on Rogersylle; in
an impregnabe position and in good spirits,
subject to the orders Of General Grant, who
is perfectly we'll satisfied with its situation.
KNoxvriLR, November lin the recent
affair at Rogersville, Burnsides forces were
overwhelmed by superior numbers. Burr-
side has taken over 800 prisoners since he
came into Tennessee, independent of the gar
rison at Cumberland Gap, putting us far
ahead of the rebels. Some indications Of
large forces coming against us, but we expect
to repel them. At Rogersville the re els cap
tured about five hundred men four pieces Of
artillery, and thirty-siX wagons We hold

of four guns, eight battle flags, and over fifteen

PRISONERS ON JOHNsoN's ISLAND

WAsaNGToN, Nov. l2.-Thero are now
over 1000 rebel officers on Johnson's Island
Eighty officers recently captured by Meade are
on their way there Several days ago there
were suspicious indications that the rebels on
the Island contemplated an effort to escape
but the authorities here had requisite precau-
tions taken, including ordering gunboats there,
therefore, the prisoners could not leave the
Island if they attempted. Whatever appre-
tensions existed are now quieted
