DAMAGE TO ΤΠΕ V1KGIXIA AND EAST TEX
KKS8KK RAII.ROAD.
The recent raid upon the Virginia and East
Tennessee Railroad wai an 'important affair,
and prevented the reinforcement of Brae? by
the rebel* during the recent terrible battle
neai Murfreeshorti'. Nearly all the brigades
between Knoxville and the Virginia State
line—a distance of 130 miles—have Ιμηίι de
stroyed, and the track more or less injured,
so combined was the movement that the whole
•flair «as completed in a comparatively short
■pace oftime, and as the rebels express it, the
line was so much Injured "that it will take
several weeks to re pair "The damages.'*
The plan adopted is developed by the re
sutls. From the facts we have we know that
two bodies of Union troops, belonging to Gen. j
Granger's aruiy of Kentucky, left Ktchmund, 1
Ky, shortly after Christmas, on an unknown
expedition. It now appears that one portion !
of these forces took the left hand road run
ning south from that place, and passing by ;
Manchester, reached Mount Pleasant. Thence .
it took the road over the mountains to Jones
▼Mie, struck the railroad at Union, a station
situated about eleven miles from Bristol,which
is near the State line between Virginia and
Tennessee. At this point the work oi destruc
tion was commenced.
The telegraph lines to Richmond, Va., were
first cut to prevent the rebel chiefs at their
capital from knowing anything of what was
going on beyond that point
They next dashed up the line ns far as Bris
tol, effectually destroying the railroad track
as they went, and as they fell back burn
ed the bridges over the streams. Arriving at
the point where the railroad crosses the Hols
ton and Watauga rivers, the Union troops
burned those bridges, and beyond that point
the rebels give no information. The tele
graphic lines having been, as we have l>eforc
stated, entirely (festroyed west of Bristol, of
course the rebels could learn nothing beyond
where the principal bridges had been burned.
After crossing the river, ami passing Carter
depot, the Union troops pushed on to Jones
boro', thence to Greenville and Bull's Gap,
now known as Rogerville Junction, altogether
over a distance of over seventy miles, at the
same time destroying all they could during
their movements in the way of bridges, trestle
work, Ac., along that line. Tills ended the
line of operations of the coluuiu on the left.
The other column left Richmond, Ky., by
one of t he roads running south, and struck the
Cumberland Mountains at a point nearer Cum
berland Gap and farther to the west of that
taken by tieir colleagues. Tliey next pro
ceed to the State line, and crossing the Clinch
river followed the turnpike road to Itogers
ville. It was planned that this colu mil should
arrive at this point about midnight, at which
hour a train of cars was generally in the sta
tion. Rogersville is a place of but small im
portant, and contained but Tew inhabitants,
who were easily secured and prevented from
riving anv alarm.
The branch of the railroad was also of mere I
local use, and connected with the main line nt !
Bull'· Gap, or Rogersville Junction. The ;
troops found the traiu at the station as had
been supposed, and soon got it under way.
Having switched off at Hull's Gap, they turn
ed along the main line in a westerly direction
until they arrived at Strawberry Plains, with
in a few miles of Knoxville. All this was
doue in a few hours, and then the work of de
struction was performed as they wended their
way back to the junction. Between New Mar
ket and Morristown a long piece of trestle
work, over half a mile in extent, was totally
destroyed, and near Rnsselville another bridge
met the same fate as its neighbors.
Thus they fell IxicW. destroying as they
went, until they again reached the Rogersville
junction, at Bull's Gap, where tliey met with
their friends who had been operating on the
eastern part of the road. It will be seen that
the operations extended within a few miles of
the whole length of the line, and destroying
the travel of greatly over a hundred miles In
extent.
A large force of troops had been sent by
this route to reinforce Gen. Bragg, and this
operation completely-cut off their chance of
reaching Murflreesboro' by the Tennessee line.
The Lynchburg Republican states that at the
present time "the road Is taxed to its utmost
capacity." The break, so extensive In its
character, must have been disastrous to their
arms, especially so when it is taken into con
sideration that these troops from the rebel
capital were wanted to alii in the resistance
offered to Gen. Rosencran's march.
No wonder, then, that the rebels at Mur
freesboro' retreated from that point. .Their
reinforcements had lieen delayed and cut off,
and there was not the slightest chance that
they could reach Murfreesboro' by anv other
route in time to save the day. The plan is !
certainly a good one, and has been well car
ried out. AH honor to him who conceived it.
Were this the only railway line from the
rebel capital to Tennessee the effect would in
deed be most disastrous to the rebel cause ; for
the communication could easily be kept brok
en at one or another part of the route. To se- !
curely guard the whole line from raids would
require more men than the rebels could well
spare at this or any other time, and therefore
the road would never be secure from destaic
tlon. The rebels have, however, oilier lines
of communication.
The line between Danville, Va.,and Greens
boro' N. C-, has been completed, and this gives
a nearly direct route from Richmond. Va., to
Columbus, S. C. This road by branch lines
connects with the direct route from Charles
ton, S. C., via Atlanta, Ga., to Chattanooga
and Murfreesboro', Tenu. Another roate nine
via Petersburg, Va., and Raleigh, N. C., and
connects with the same line nt Greensboro.'
If the line from Goldsboro' to Wilmington
should have been repaired a nearly direct
route is opened from Kiclimond Va., to
Charleston, S. C., thence to Chattanooga and
Murfreesboro.' Again, by aid of the Savan
nah branch, another route Is opened from the
rebel capital via Weldon, Goldsboro', Wil
mington. Charleston and Savannah, thence by
; the Central Georgia Railroad to Chattanooga
and Murfreesboro'. Thus it plainly appears
that the operations, splendid as they are, have
not entirely cut ofl' the supplies from the reb
els, but will only delay thein by forcing them
to go over a longer route of travel. However,
it ha« done Its work for the present, and done
it well.
From the Richmond Examiner. Jan. 2.
DKSTRrCTIOS OF IMPORTANT BRIDGES OX
THE EAST TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA RAIL
ROAD BY I'SIOM CAVALRY — A DARING
RAID.
A body of Yankee. Cavalry numbering, it is
reported some 4,000 men, made a raid on Mon
day upon the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad, and destroyed two important bridges
—oue acro-g the ilolston and the other across
the Watauga river. The bqjdgt* Across the
Holstou at Blountvllle, was guards by 200 of
our cavalry, who were completely surprised
and made prisoners of without any resistanse.
Ail account of the raid, which We find ill yes
terday's Lynchburg Republican, savs :
The enemy advanced within six miles of Bris
tol. tin· Malni of the Virginia and Tennes
see railroad, but retired without coming to the
place. They afterwards advanced toward
Joncsboro, and burned the bridge across the
Watauga. At this place a small scouting par
ty of citizens, hastily collected together, came
up with them, and a brtsk skirmish occurred,
in which one of the enemy was killed and two
captured, who were brought into. Bristol on
Tuesday. They belong to a Pennsylvania re
giment, and we learn, reported their force at
5000.
The enemy first entered Virginia between
C'umlierland Gap and Pound Gap. and, pass
ing through Estiville in Scott county, to
Blountville. fulfilled their mission of bridge
burning, and made a demonstration as if it
was their intention to visit Bristol. This, as
before stated, they failed to do, feariug, doubt
less, to venture so far. They continued in the
direction of Jonesboro. but It is stated by our
scouts, who came into Bristol Tuesday night,
that they were retreating over nearly tljp
same route tliev had advanced.
Tile distance from the point at which they
entered the State line to Jonesltoro. is between
ninety and one hundred miles. and the raid is
certainly a most during one. andargues an au
dacity in the enemy which they were not sup
posed to possei·.' They are reported to have
been piloted by a militia colonel of Washing
ton county. Tennesse, by the name of Ward,
who left his home on Friday, and met them at
the mountains.
The damage done to the railroad is serious,
as, besides burning the bridges named, the
track M torn up ill many places, and the sills and
iron burned. The distance between the Wa
tuga and Holston rivers is nine milps, and the
burning of the bridges across these streams
involves a loss of that distance in our rail
road communications. It teill take nereral
week» to repair \the damage*, ami they come
at a time when the roail is taxed to it* utmost
capacity.
ISut few of the citizens along their march
were molested by the Yankees, nor have we
heard of that destruction of private property
usual in their raids.
The citizens of Bristol, we learn, behaved
most nobly on this trying occasion. Old and
young prepared with alacrity to meet the in
vaders of their homes, and to protect their
firesides front polution by the hireling foe.
