There is no excitement, rumor or military

sick during nearly the whole time of his stay
here This may in some degree account for
his Inactivity.
The thirty miles Of railroad from Loudon

18th corps, under Gen. Park, Is about five
miles below the city, and all the cavalry corps,
as well as several irregular and detached
squadrens, under the command Of Gen. Stur.
gts, are across the river watching the cnemy.
The SD army corps, now under Gen. Cox,
is stationed In the vicinity. Col Wolford's
regiment, the 1st Kentucky cavalry, is gone
to Kentucky. 4 large quantity OF unserricc-
able horees hive been sent across the noun
tains, to thc great relief Of the forage mas-
tors lcrc.
The fortifcations have BEEN very materially
strengthened and increased since the siege,
aud the work is still going on; butth place
