rear. The raiders leaving his forces some
where in the neighborhood Of Knoxville.
came up the north side OF the Hoson Rv-

that he raiders separated, one party~pro-
ceeding to Bristol. and the other to Alb

will cume up the railroad az far as Salem,
and thexce into tho Kanawba. by the route
followed by Hunter last summer. 1t is
unknown who is in command of the expo
dition. but it looks very much like Stone

doubtless been visited by the enemy"
Hoods official report of the battle Of
franklin has been received. 1t confirms
the reported killing aad wounding OF ma.

into their inner line of works, which they
evacuated at night, leaving their dead AMI
wounded in our hands. In their retreat
we captured several stands Of colors aud
