SOUTHERN ACCOUNTS.
Fort Monroe, Dec. l,

The Richmond Wing, in an editorial,
says the Atlanta Confederacy asserts our
cavalry advanced on the 10th above Ring
gold. finding the country clear Of the en-
envy. They proceeded thence to Lookout
Mountain and Missionary Ridge. Here
they found nothing but the debris OF the
enemy's camp. and the position seemed
to have been deserted.
On Saturday last, in the town of Chat
tanooya and below, the enemy had visibly
decreased his force. The presumption is
that heavy column has gone after Long
street, and an expedition started into
West Tennessee to look after Forest, who
has taken advantage Of the absence of
Shermsn's corps.
Ths Wing also says although there
appears to be no doubt Of the movements
OF Averill from the Kanawha in the di-
rection OF East Tennessee and Virginia.
The War Department has received no ad-
ditional intelligence from that quarter.
The enemy's movements. so far as
known, seem to indicate . raid on the
railroad, or probably upon the counties Of
Botetourt Rock Bridge and Augusta.
