r East Tennessee Maj. Gen. Jones is in command. There was brisk skirmishing on Monday, and on Tuesday evening two wounded Confederates and four Yankee prisoners were brought up from below Jonesboro' , where they were wounded and captured. From later intelligence, received by the Advocate, the following list of regiments at the Gap is obtained: The garrison consisted of four regiments, viz: 55th Ga., 64th Va., 62d and 64th North Carolina, a portion of Laden's artillery, Capt. Barnes's company, of Ga; also, Fain's Tennessee buttery, commanded by Lt. Conner. The enemy's force at the Gap was commanded by Gen. Burnside in person. He left the Gap on Friday with his and Gen. Shackelford's brigade for Knoxville, leaving only two regiments to guard the Gap, the 104th and 98th Ohio. Up to Saturday morning the enemy had made no move up the Virginia Valley outside of their picket lines. Only about 300 of our forces escaped, the larger portion of whom were of Col. Slemp's command.
