From The south.

New York. Nov. 16.-The correspondent o
the Philadelpha Enguircr, writing yesterday
says: "1nformation Just received here from the
South indicates that large body of North Car
olina and Georgia Unionists who have had hab-
itations only in the mountains of Western North
Carolina, have made their escape with theil
arms and much valuable information, into Eas
Tennessee, where they will swell the ranks o
Gen. Fosters army. They come TO us as orig.
inal Union men and will guide and fight will
our volunteers TO the end. These men formed
themselves into an army and numbered about
5000 men, poorly armed and equipped, but with
real courage and patriotism they have dared to
give battle to the rebel regulars. At a place
called Warren Springs, north of Ashville, Bun
cOnlbe county, North Carolina, and near the
Tennessee line, these brave men were making
their way towards Knoxville, when they were
attacked on the 29th of October by part of the
25th North Carolina regiment, under command
of Liet. Col. Samuel G. Brison, who was badly
whipped and forced to beat hasty retreat TO
Ashyille The rebels lost six killed and thirty
wounded Among the killed was Lieut.. Hyatt.
After the fight the Unionists took Ashville and
came near taking Gen. Vance, son of the Gov
ernor, and his staff prisoners. After this the
patriot band fell back TO the mountains, and
letter from Gov. Vance, dated Madison county,
N. c., Nov. Sd, says: The enemy have with
drawn from Western North Carolina to East
Tennessee, on the llth. They carried off sever
al prominent citizens, in chains. 1t is said that
