From East Tennessee. Passengers recently from East Tennessee state that the Yankees who made the late raid into that section had succeeded in reaching Moccasin Pass, some twenty-five miles from Bristol, our forces not having come up in time to attack them. Some censure is attached to Gen. Marshall for not moving with that celerity the occasion demanded. Had he done so, it is believed the enemy might have been easily overtaken. Provision has been made for the conveyance of passengers between the Holston and Watanga rivers in stages, for consequences of which there is but a few hours delay. It is said that energetic measures have been taken for the reconstruction of the destroyed bridges, and that over the Watanga will, perhaps, be completed in about two weeks so as to allow the passage of the trains. The Holston bridge, being a much more extensive structure, will require a longer time.

The President Welcomed Keme — Serenade and speech. --On Monday night, about 11 o'clock, some two or three hundred persons assembled at the President's mansion, with Smith's Band, for the purpose of paying their respects to the executive head of the Confederacy on his return from an extended tour. After the band had played two popular airs the President appeared at the door, and the crowd gave a cheer, when the gentleman who accompanied him said: "Fellow-citizens, allow me to introduce to you the President of the United States." There was a momentary silence, when the presenter corrected himself by saying "the President of the Confederate States" This was more satisfactory, and Mr. Davis remarked that he was proud to acknowledge that title, but the other be would spurn. He then gracefully thanked his friends for this manifestation of their regard, and expressed his pleasure at meeting them again on his return to the capital of the Confederate States, in a Commonwealth which has
