A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercia
Writes from Knoxville as follows:
The rebel army has disappeared front our Iron
at Bull's Gap. Scouts reported the movement o
the enemy in misses going to the rear three day
ago, but it was not then known what the Fathom
lar object was. Deserters have since arrived in
considerable numbers, who confirm the reports,
and state that only one brlgade—some say a single
regiment merely, with a small park of artillery,
pow holds the place. The sufferings othe resi
dents in the upper counties are repreeented as
very great, owing to the scarcity of food. Cases
of extreme violence and inhumanity are reported
by females who lately found tbeir way through the
enemy's lines. Rebels in squads roamed over the
country at will, taking everything. In some
cases women, wbose husbands or friends are ab
sent, particularly if suspected - of being Union
families, were tied up and whipped, to compel
them to reveal the place where provisions were
concealed.
Our army, which has been of late resting with
its center about Mossy Creek, and its advance to
ward New Market, will probably occupy the
vacuum caused by the retrogade movement of the
rebel army. Where the army of Lengetreet is go
ing is now the puzzling question. The theory
most generally accepted by military men is that
the rebel Government finds it necessary to pro vide
for the defence of Richmond, and that all their
available strength is to be concentrated there and at
Atlanta. Desertions from Longstreet's army, ac
cording to the account of one of the late arrivals,
who was six weeks ago conscripted near Hanover
county. Virginia, have reached the startling num
be five thousand within as many weeks. He re
presents them as melting away like a spring snow.
The number of rebel deserters received at Knox
ville, in round numbers, during three months, is
as follows:
January 600
February 300
Marekt 200
Total lOO
a/Affairs at Mossy Creek are tranquil. The bridge
at London will be still a month completing. ' •
