From East Tennessee. --The enemy is evidently retreating from Tennessee, and is lingering longest at London, to cover the retreat. Byrd's brigade was at Post Oak on Saturday, and their pickets were yet on this side the Tennessee river. One hundred political prisoners were last week sent from Knoxville to Camp Chase. The Yankee sutlers at Knoxville had all packed up their goods, and made tracks in the direction of Cumberland Gap.

n the stream and effecting a junction with Grant at some point near Chattanooga. The eastward route of escape towards Dandridge has been closed. On Monday last a portion of Wheeler's command had an engagement with the Yankee cavalry under Col. Byrd, near Kingston, East Tennessee. The result was not known, but it was said that we captured a considerable portion of Byrd's command. The above facts are gleaned from statements made by Rev. Mr. Simmons, Chaplain of the 11th Georgia regimeconsiderable portion of Byrd's command. The above facts are gleaned from statements made by Rev. Mr. Simmons, Chaplain of the 11th Georgia regiment, who left Knoxville on Monday last. He was informed that 3,000 Federal cavalry took possession of Cleveland on Wednesday last. If this be true, we can have no communication with Longstreet. There are three locomotives and trains beyond Cleveland, between Cleveland and London. If they fall into the hands of the enemy we shall be the losers.

went on down the Peninsula. The infantry which had been sent as their support had already gone aboard the transports and returned to Yorktown.--They said as they went down that they were going to come up with pontoons, and cross the Rappahannock, as that was their intended route back. The burning of the village at King and Queen C. H. seems to have been an act of deliberate devilishness on the part of the Yankees. They burnt twenty houses, leaving only one dwelling standing — that of Mr. Byrd. They had previously robbed the owners and the inhabitants of the neighborhood of all the provisions they had. On their route down from Richmond, after the failure of the raid, Kilpatrick's men acted in a most barbarous manner to the inoffensive and helpless people of New Kent and James City. From the Cross Roads in New Kent, where the vandals entered the stage road, down to Barhamsville, in the same county, they burnt and pillaged nearly every house. At Barbamsville, they destr

From East Tennessee. --The Bristol Gazette, of the 2d, furnishes the following: Col. Byrd, commanding the 3d Tennessee (Yankee) cavalry, was at Kingston at last advices. --Twice or thrice they had been ordered to Nashville, but refused to obey. Shelly's regiment was at Loudon. Gen. Jim Spears, of Pikesville, is reported to have been cashiered and arrested because he was dissatisfied with the Yankee success in freeing his own negroes and those of his loyal neighbors, and making them the equals of their wives and daughters. The negroes of Middle and Lower East Tennessee have all been sent to Nashville some time since, leaving only old or little darkles, who had no parents to care for them. Very scanty crops are being cultivated in all that region, farms being in a state of desolation. Rev. Timothy Sullias has been imprisoned in Knoxville as a hostage for Rev. Wm. H. Blackburn, who was received into the Holston Conference by voluntarily going to the Provost Marsha
