East Tennessee.

Recent reports bear evidence that military
affairs in East Tennessee have assumed q
more cheerful aspect. Gen. Breckipridge
has taken command in person, absen tees are
returning. new recruits daily arriving, more
rigid discipline is being enforced, and all is
union and harmony.
The disaster at Morristown was OF as Sc.
rious AS at frst reported. Just preceding
The Fight the main body Of our troops wer.
at Morri-,own, while. Maj. G. w. Lays
oath battaIlion) cavalry was stationed at
Beans Station, IL miles distant. 1t seems
to have been the design Of Gen. Vaughan
TO fall back TO Ru.sellvi!le before giving
light, where he would have had some advan.
iage in position. To this end, aud with a
view OF concentrating his whole strength.
Major Lays command was ordered TO the
latter place. which order was promptly
obeyed. But the enemy, in vastly superio r
force, brought on the attack at Morristown.
Gen. Vaughan, who is one Of the "bravest
ofths brave" did every thing in his power
to repel the assaults. Ills efforts were
upavaiiing. From some caus.. his troops
were panic stricken, and reirea,ed IN much
disorder towards RusseilviIie. Maj Lay

with the enemy in hot pursuit, and within

column; 10 which his command galiantiy
responded and succeeded in driving the
Yankees back moro than half mile, there.
by stopping the retreat and 'sa. iog the
wagon train. They were highly compli.

port. Accordingly, al 3 o'clock The cables
were slipped, aud the Wachusett steered
for the Florida, hitting her on the quarter,
without doing her great injury.
Cupt. Collins now called cut to those on
board the pirate to surrender, or he would
sink her. This demand was replied to BY
the first lieutenant, that "under the cir.
cumstances he surrendered" A hawser
was now made fast. the chain slipped. and
the Florida stowed to sea. In the melee
several pistol shots were fred, and. acei-
dentai!y, two guns from the Wachusett.
Capt. Morris and half the FIorida's crew
were ashore on liberty.
No lives were lost. The Florida was
taken completely by surprise, seventy Of
her men it was kr own being on shore, and
the others just returned from tibfhy Were
asleep and half intoxicated.
The blow given the Florida by the Wachu.
sett carried away the mizzenmast and main.
yard, which fell on the awning, preventing &
any one from getting up from below.
SO copscious was the officer of the
Geek Of the intention Of tho Wachuset,'s 5
captain that he saug out, "You will be into
us if you don't take care" at the same time
