Fighting in Southwestern Virginia.
Lynchburg, Aug. 9.
--Nothing has been received by telegraph from Knoxville, and no papers from that place later than the 6th inst. Heavy skirmishes were reported at Tazewell on Monday and Tuesday.
Passengers by the Western train, last night, confirm the report of the fight and victory at Tazewell, but say nothing of the reported capture of the Federal army, and do not credit the report.
A skirmish took place Wednesday at Pack's Ferry, between Loring's command and the enemy. It is reported that a number of the Federal were killed and wounded, without any loss on our side. The fight was altogether with artillery. The enemy evacuated their position after burning their boats and destroying their stores.
General Loring crossed the river in parsult. A fight was anticipated on Thursday or Friday.
