Dispatch of to-day after fully confirming the
previous report of the capture Of Bristol,

ced up the railroad towards Abingdon which
we presume, fell into their hands on the 9th.
We have no Information of the fact. The
next we hear of them they had at nine
O'Clock yesterday morning bounced down
upon Glade Spring and the depot of the rail-
road thirteen miles this side Of Abingdon,
taking every one there by surprise and cap
turing all of the railroad employees except
one. At last accounts the enemy were
pushing up the railroad in the direction Of
Marvin, which is twenty seven m lies on
this side of Abingdon. This is raid
in Breckinridges rear The raiders leaving
his forces somewhere in the neighborhood
of Knoxville, came up to the North side OF
the HoIston River, and crossed to Bristol.
1t is probable that the raiders separated, one
party preceding to Bristol, and the other to
Abingdon If unchecked, it is likely they
! will come up tho railroad as far as Salem.
and thence into the Kanawha. by the route
| followed by Hunter last summer. It is I'M
