FROM THE SOUTH.
RETREAT FROM SOUTHWESTERN VIRGIN.
r ; ara "a From Tie Richmond WHO.

- L.yacR6ur9, October lSth.--Ihe ene-
my fell back beyond Bristol on Friday
night. On the Virginia. and Tennessee
railroad they burned five bridges. They
threw the yard engine and tender over
INFO one of the turntables at enc of the
stations, aud tore up half mile of track
this side Of Bristol, aud destroyed few
old cars of the East Tennessee and Vir-
gipia railroad. At Bristol they broke up
two locomotives, destroyed five car loads
Of salt, and number of old cars. f
On their retreat they destroyed all the
wheat and corn, fencing, killed the cnttle,
and played destruction generally With the
country through which they passed. 1t
is thought something of importance occur
red in the ne. hborhood of Knoxville
which caused their sud en- retreat. The
burned bridges on the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad are all within five miles
Of Bristol, and ,au soon be rebuilt.
FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. ...
The Eeaminer of the Goth, iu an edi.
torial, takes rather blue view Of the Con-
federate prospect, and the drift Of it's arti-
Gle Gems to be that the only hope of sue
CESS is from foreign interference. 1t sa, 5:
't,Such decisive military advantages as
to reduce the enemy to submission can
scarcely be expected. If any prompt ter
mlnation can be hoped for it is from for
elgn complication, to which its further
continuance will always afford OCCASION
The situation of France with
regard to Mexico multiplies the occasions
of collision with the United States, and
clearly likes her policy in AN attitude of
sympathy with the South"
