East Tennessee and - Georgia, —The siege of Knoxville was raised December 4th, General Sher man having arrived with, reinforcements from Chattanooga on ihe day previous.. Longslreet’s line of retreat according to the dispatches, was towards Bristol, via the Morristown Railroad to Richmond, and soiith from Bristol. His retreat is made both on the north and. south banks of the Holston river, Foster’s cavalry following him on the south, and Sherman on the north. A dispatch from Gen. Foster dated Tazewell, December 7th says: • " Longtreet is m full retreat up the valley. Your orders about following with cavalry shall be carried out. My. division ot cavalry attacked the enemy's cavalry in one of the passes'of the Clinch mountains yesterday afternoon, and arc pushing them vigor ously! So Important and decisive is this abandonment of E. Tennessee, that the President deemed it a suitable occasion to call for thanks from the Christian pebple of the country m the following FROCtrAaiATIOtf; Executive Mansion. Washington, Dee, 7th, 1863". Reliable information being received that the in surgent force is retreating, from East Tennessee, under circum tanCes rendering it probable that the Union forces cannot hereafter be dislodged from that important position, and esteeming this to be of •high National consequence. I recommend that all loyal people do. on the receipt of this, informally as semble at their respective places of worship, and render special homage and gratitude to Almighty God for this great advancement of the National cause ABRAHAM LINCOLN The news from Tennessee, says the Louisville dispatch Sept. 7th: “Is really glorious. Langstreet has abandoned the siege of Knoxville, and ib - getting himself into Virginia as fast os possible. Oar cavalry are said to be m close pursuit of the rebels. A large batch of prisoners wps captured yesterday at Clinch river. General Sherman has arrived at Knoxv’lle.” A Cincinnati despatch December Bth' says; Hardee is slow y falling back from Dalton, with Bragg’s whipjed men Ihe mountains of East Tennessee are filled with rebels deserters and stragglers. 2130 Chattanooga prisoners passed through Indianapolis yesterday bound for Rock Island; 1200 more are expected there to-day. 131 rebel officers, mostly of Breckinridge’s corps, also passed through, bound for Johnson’s Island. Pardon of a Rebel General.— The President has signed the pardon of E. W. Gantt, of Arkansas, from the penalty of treason, which be incurred by accepting and exercising the office of Brigadier General in the service of tho insurgents. The pardon also reinstates General Gantt m all his rights of property, excepting those relative to slaves Mr. Gantt has given proof of lus returning loyalty by abandoning his rebel associates, and urging the people of Arkansas to follow his example m a powerful address. The steamer Cheaspeake, plying between New York and Portland, was seized,on Saturday Dee., sth, when of Cape Ood by' the passengers, sixteen secessionists m disguise, who shot the engineers, and placing the captain and crew m irons, seized the ship as a prize to tho Confederate States..
