The EVACUATION OF KNoXvILLE.-
There can no longer remain any doubt as
to the evacuation of Knoxville BY our
forces, though up to our latest accounts
the enemy had not made his appearance
10 the place. There is some doubt as to
whether or not he will do SO, until he can
see his ways more clearly. Its evacuation
is regarded by many analogous to the in
vitaiion extended by the spider to the fly,
the acceptance of which might prove
fatal.
From all we can learn, such judicious
disposition is being made of our forces as
will foil the efforts and p rposes Of the
enemy to lay his clutches upon the Swl'z
erlaud Of the Confederacy, east Tennessee.
Neither Cum bcrand nor Wheeler's gap,
as we understand, have been evacuated,
and it may be the policy of our generals
to draw the federals into the country IN
order the more effectually to conquer and
over. come them.
We cannot persuade ourselves that
Knoxville would be SO readily given up
unless some ul,eriur purpose Of this sort
was lad in view.
In the army, with both officers and
men, we have the satisfaction Of knowing
that all hope and onfdeDce as to the real
result whenever the pending struggle
shall take place. Our soldiers will &c
into the battle with the determination to
win the victory. and, if possible make ii
decisive. They are tired ct victories hall
won aud drawn battles. and will make q
clean job Of il, next time, if they are
