wded with troops; to-day, two large companies, from New Orleans and Georgia, well armed, passed over the road, eager for a bead on the Yankees. Our camp (Fulkerson) is now alive with about one thousand of the finest looking soldiers you over saw, and still pouring in from the adjoining counties. It is needless to say they are brave, and anxious for the smell of Yankee gunpowder; but are prevented by the tremendous crowds of Southern soldiers passing on every available train on the road. There are two thousand more at Bristol to get on to-morrow, reporting large numbers all along the road West of that point, destined for the seat of war. East Tennessee is reported in quite easy circumstances, and daily the spirit of rebellion is losing ground.

Branner, on his restoration to health, in good working order, and fully prepared to performing share of duty as one of the links in this important railway line. While, from the causes stated, there was an unavoidable "accumulation of freight at Knoxville and Chattanooga," it is not true that soldiers' clothing had been detained. --Major Wallace, notwithstanding the more than double labor imposed on him, made it his special business to see that soldiers' clothing, blankets, shoes, guns, and ammunition went forward between Dalton and Chattanooga and Bristol without delay, the truthfulness of which will be attested by all who passed over those roads in charge of these articles.
