Ors OF raid upon Longstreet's rear.
This is assigned as the cause of his rapid
retreat.
Notwithstanding This detailed telegraphic
report the Nashville Union. of the 22d, has
the following: "Gen. Longstreet has not
retrested from East Tennessee. Ga the
other hand, he is strengthening his position,
as We are assured from those who know.
Longstreet is not such fool as to abandon
East Tennessee, the only strategstic point
from which the rebels can operate with any
hope of success during the approaching
spring campaign"
The Union further adds. sThere is
news through our scouts concerning sher-
man and also through prisoners; but NE
are only allowed to state that his expe d.
ton is meeting with entire success that
the rebels have been everywhere outgener-
aled; and that the most important results
are expected speedily to be accomplished.
A despatch from Tunnel Hill, Alabama,
gives the following account of the fighting
near the above place, on the Gath: Early
yesterday morning Generals Cruft and Baird
crossed Tunnel ridge, with their commands,
and marched through the Gap in Rocky
Falls range, driving the rebels from Cleve-
land Rode into Rocky Falls Valley, thus
turning the strong position the enemy oe-
cupied on the road from lower Tunnel Hill
to Dalton. Marching back again along the
Cleveland road our troops descended into
Rocky Falls Valley, down which they
sought to carry all before them, until they
arrived near the hill where the Cleveland
road descended into the Valley. At II this
morning Col. Gross brigade ordered a
charge on the rebs, which they did in gal
LIANT style, driving the rebels before them
The 5th Indiana battery Immediately fol-
lowed to the top of the hill, where was car
ried on fierce artillery duel the remainder
of the day. Infantry skirmishing contin-
ued until 1 80, when Turchin's brigade, OF
Baird's command, was ordered 10 drive the
ISOSiS iIOLA IAO hAii ACeaIIJ y POSAIO VHo'I W
cupisd by Gross. The order was obeyed
with will, the brigade chasing the enemy
from the foot of the hill across the summit
but when they reached the top they were
met by destructive fire from superior
force, which compelled them t. withdraw.
Emery did not attempt to follow. This was
the severest conflict of the day. Heavy
skirmishing continued until night, when
our troops began to retire, and to-day we
are no further advanced than Tunnel Hill
AS a reconnaissance the affair has been en-
tirely successful. No further doubt re-
mains Of the enemy's presence at Dalton
in strong force. At least four divisions are
there. The country around Dalton is 1
succession of narrow valleys and rocky
ridges. It is exceedingly available for de-
fensive purposes. Part of Claiborne's di
vision had been sent to reinforce Polk, but
returned in time to take part in the fight
Our whole loss does not exceed SCOTIA
