The Yankee raid is East Tennessee
--The Yankee raiders who went to Knoxville, Monday, numbered about 3,000 mounted infantry, under Carter and Bird.
They came out of a little Northeast of Sparts, in White county, and came through Kingston, in Roane county, where Bird formerly resided, and where he captured some artillery, The Bristol, Tenn., Advocate, of the 25th inst., says:
When they reached the bridge at Strawberry Plains on the E. T. &Va.
R. Road we understand that they met withand struck direct for Kentucky.
The last we heard of them they had crossed Clinch river with Gen. Pegram's forces in pursuit of them.
So soon as Gen. Jackson learned of the advance of the enemy he made a call upon the true men of upper East Tennessee to rally and assist in driving the enemy back, and we are proud to know that old Sullivan nobly responded to his call.
Near 500 of her citizens repaired to Zollicoffer for the defence of the bridge at that place, on Sunday and Monday last.--
