FROM EAST TENNESSEE.

MoRRIsrowN, January 29.-Maj. Gen<Buck-
ner has arrived here. Gen. Longstreet's head
quarters have been removed to this place. The
enemy attacked Gen. Martin with superior force,
beyond the French Broad on Wednesday 9th,
and after severe fight compelled them to retire,
with loss of two pieces of artillery and 200 men
killed, wounded and missing.
LATER.-MoRREsTowN January 30.-Gen.
Martin attacked the enemy the 28th, and after
a stubborn fight, drove them from the field, they
retiring in the direction of Sevierville. The enc
mys cavalry have undoubtedly been reinforced.
Russellville, Jan. 27-The enemy evacuated
Tazewell yesterday morning, ret-eating to Cum
6erland Gap. Major Day occupied that place on
the same day, capturing some stores end property.
The troops are being rapidly clothed
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, has kindly offer
ed Gen. Longstreet enough clothing to supply his
troops. 1t is to be hoped that liberal contribu-
ton of socks and gloves will be forwarded by pr-
vate individuals, as much suffering can be proven
ted thereby.

On the whole, we think the "situation, is en-
couragng and that there is no cause for despon-
dency and gloomy forebodings. IF our own people
will stand together and cooperate cordially with
the authorities in making preparation to meet the
enemy, we think the war will end this year. The
enemy boast great deal, but it is thought by
those competent to judge that he is not as strong
now as heretofore. The great mass of the people
ct the North are evidently tired of the war.
1t is said that the yankee forces being trans
ferred to the eastern part Of this State, and that
Gen. Meade himself was at Newborn last week.
1t may be that it is designed to make movement
on Richmond from that direction, or it may be in
tended only as feint.
It was rumored last week that Mobile was to be
attacked, but the indications are uncertain
Charleston still bids defiance to yankee malice
and yankee power. The enemy are now lombard
ing both Fort Sumter and the city, without much
effect.
In East Tennessee, Gen. Longstreet has been
stirring up the enemy successfully and has gained
some important advantages
IF the weather continues as favorable as it has
been for the past two weeks, active operations in
the field may be resumed earlier than usual
