FROM EAST TENNESSEE.
Why Gen. EIl1cl1. xxas Defeated.

The Nashville correspondent Of the New
York Gi.ses gives the following version OF the
way Gen. Gi1lem was sacrificed:
There are some extremely ugly rnmo1s, and
documents to match, being received from
East Tennessee regarding the defeat sustained
BY G1llem on the 18th inst. As am very
careful abont language employ In reference
to United States officers md soldiers, / shall
inst briefly mention the fact that It is be-
that Giliem was the victim Of jealousy on tic
part Of some other general officers ut Knox
vile. According to Information received by
Gen. Thomas and Gov. johnson, Gillem, after
ascertnining beyond doubt that he was be-
ing pressed By three brigades, commented
regiments, and at the Same time called upon
two Brigadiers ut Knoxville for not only rein
fprcements, but food for his brave mcn, who
had been three days without Eations Of any
kind, except fresh meat. He kept falling
back In good order, Ill the while CRYING for
help, but no assistance came to him unfit bis
routed utmy arrived at Strawberry Plains.
Here he WIS net r. 500 MEN Of the Ssh Aiciai-.
gan cavalry, who had left Knoxville on the
morning Of the 14ti, six days after they had
been called for. According to all accounts,
and I have seen several letters addressed to
Gov. johnson and Gen. Milligan, the deport-
neut Of Gillcni during the dreadful confusion
Of his trooEs was grand in the extreme. Par
son Browrsiow writes that the disaster might
have becn aserted, but that a lack Of har-
manl 1t Knoxville. .Parson Rrown1ow's son
Gays that Gillcn:, regardless Of danger, acted

From the New York News
The Crisis in Georgia
The military situation in Georgia is momen-
tous. Hood lost his opportunity when Sher'
man N. made the flank movement to Jonesboro
with provisions for but fifteen days. Holding
his whole army between Jonesboro AMI Asian-
ia and drawing his supplies from the sources
that feed him now, the Confederate chle1
might at that time have stood between sher.
man and his base Without serious lighting
he could then have continued to fall back to-
ward Chattanooga, feeding his army trom tae
Valley of the Coosa, and thus have retarded
the retreat Of the Federals uutil he had exaust-
ed all. their supplies. That error he has now
attempted to retrieve, but does SO 1l1 under CIR
cumstances that may be supposed much less
favorobe. .ea
The Confederate journals inform Us chat no
train had arrived in Atlanta since the twenty
seventh Of last month. Sherman has there
fore been exhaustibg his stores tor now fully
two weeks. The quantity of supplies that ne
had on hand at the comm eDcement of that
time, we are.unable. TO say; but the previous
disturbances Of his railroad communication oy
Wheeler and then again BY Forrestt wouid lead
70 the supposition that it could not have been
verv great. Ia Atlanta he appears, indeed,
to have had very little; for we find him, soon
oftar Hoods appearance at Marietta, lighting
for the stores at Allatoona. The Federal chlef,
fnd;nr ali the country in his frontopen to the
coo Ias had the alternative Of an advance to
Savannah. or to Mobile; and though the bold
moss of h;s oenius would have led to the sup
nos;t;on Of his choice of that course, we must
9onhf + now. seeing that he had net lett At
lauta, according to Southern accounts up. 10

Sherman will prabably turn back to con-
