A successful Dash of a Confederate force in East Tennessee.

The following is a copy of a telegram from a member of Congress from Tennessee to his colleague in this city:

Knoxville, April 5.--Col. Vaughan has penetrated Scott county, Tenn., to Huntersville, whipped the enemy and routed him, and brought off meat, shoes, cattle and horses. He killed about forty of the enemy, and took seventeen prisoners, losing only five men. He also destroyed all the commissary stores he could not bring away. Most Tennessee will be all right.
