The Federals on the Virginia and Tennessee railroad.
[from our own correspondent.]

Lynchburg, Sept. 24.
--The enemy reached Bristol yesterday at noon, destroyed the railroad track there, and tore up the cattle guards on the Va., and Tenn. Railroad. Thence they came to the burnt bridge, drove off the bridge builders, destroyed the repairs, and retired. The damage will be repaired tomorrow. We now have sufficient force there to keep them off. O. K.

[A dispatch from Superintendent Dodemead says that the trains would pass over the road safely last night.]
