FROM EAST TENNESSEE.

ATLANTA, Dec. A special to the Inteligencer,
dated Dalton, Dec. 4!h, says that Gen. Lsdbetter
arrived yesterday from Knoxville which point he left
last Sunday. Gen. Longstreet had the day made
unsuccessful attack on Burnside, and aerWard com.
me ccd retreaing to Virginia. Hooker and SiegeIs
corps reported advancing on Knoxville and Lou
don, ard will probably follow Longstreet or enter
North Caroline. Firing heard yesterday in the d.
rectOn Of Cleveland, which was supposed to be from
Wheelet's cavalry. The rumor yesterday that the
enemys cavalry had advanced to Ringgold was without
foundation. Lieut.. G. Z. TAbb and Capt. Barnes, of
the Signal Corps deserted and went to the enemy
previous to the late battle. The report that Grants
headquarters are at RinggOld is not correct.
DALTON, Dec 4.-The latest accounts represent that
Lo cgstreet with part of his command, made an IN.
successful attack Knoxville. His loss was very small
He then raised the seigs marching towards Abingdon
Va Gen. Bushrod Johnson had succeeded in effectng
junction with Longstreet without the loss of his sup.
ply tram previously reported. Gen. Vaughn, with
hs command, and of Chcathams regiments, was at
Charleston, Tenn, trying to make Ii, way to North
Carolina. Our forces are in possession of Ringgold-
Nothing from the front.
BRIsToL, Dec. The siege of Knoxville is progress
sing, and the caunOnadng represented being very
heavy. General Ransom is reported to have capture
a large ammunition train, route 10 Knoxville.
The railroad will be opened in few days to Straw
