Affairs in Tennessee--the capture of Glasgow.
A letter from Nashville to a Yankee journal given the following particulars of the recent rebel said on Glasgow, Tennessee:
When we reached Munfordsville, a dispatch from Bowling Green informed us that a force of rebels had that morning attacked and taken Glasgow — an important point, only seven miles from the railroad — and ordered us to proceed very cautionary, as it was expected that they would attempt to capture our train.
We felt our way along slowly till we reached Cave City, at which point we found a lot of fugitives just in from Glasgow.
The whole affair is a most shameful one.
Glasgow was garrisoned by 220 twelve months men of the 37th Kentucky volunteers, under Col. Martin.
They had fortifications, two pieces of artillery, and sufficient supplies to have held this place a mouth against 5,000 men. The rebels were mounted, numbered eighty-two, and were commanded by a Col. Hughes.
At daybreak yesterday morning
Affairs in East Tennessee.
Mr. John M. Crowley, of this city, Superintendent of the division of the telegraph line between Lynchburg and Chattanooga, has been released by Gen. Burnside and sent through the lines by flag of truce.
He has since arrived in Richmond.
In the city of Knoxville he represents that, notwithstanding many statements to the contrary, there was comparatively little Union feeling shown, when the Federal troops arrived.
Several prominent families were very active in wag "Bull Run," which amused the people considerably.
Mr. Crowley was on parole during his stay in Knoxville, extending to about two months, but spent much of the time in prison "on suspicion," as the Yanks called it.
The bushwhacking in East Tennessee is still on the increase — brother bushwhacks brother.
The Union men shoot a loyal citizen every chance they get, and a number of Morgan's disbanded men or stragglers in their turn bushwhack the Unionists.
Neither party shows much mercy.
