CINCINNATI, jan. 29.
The Ga zette's Knoxville correspondent of
the 10Th says Last Friday, cur Cavalry un-
der Gen. Sturgess, advanced in the direction
of cambridge. 40 miles from Knox vile. On
Saturday morning we drove the enemy's Vi
dettes out of the village and q portion
of our infantry, under Gen. Parks, also moved
up, but learning the enemy were in full force
beyond cambridge, fell back to their former
position.
On Sunday morning, the enemy, seeing
they had drawn our cavalry as far as possible,
MADE a desperate attack on our lines with
Hoods and Bushrod Johnson's divisions, led
by Hampton's cavalry. Observing their des-
perate determination, Sturgis ordered Col. Nc.
Cook, commanding division cavalry, to charge
the enemy. This charge turned the fortunes
of the day, which up to this time had been
decidedly against US. Our total loss was
about 100.
On Sunday night, our forces, anticipating a
flank movement, fell back to strawberry Plains,
6 miles from Knoxville. On the 10th, Stur-
gfs fell back to Knoxville. The same evening
he crossed the Holstien river with a view of
iutercepting the enemy at Liverville. Gen.
Gordon Changers troops on the 10Th were
moving on the same point. where a battle was
pending.
Great anxiety was felt at Knoxville with
something of panic. Foster, however, is con-
fdent of thwarting the enemy's designs.
1t is pretty certain that Longstreet has been
heavily reinforced, several of the prisoners
taken were fresh from Richmond.
