A letter from Knoxville . . .

. . . dated the 3d, published in the Memphis Appeal, says:

The Governor’s proclamation, calling out the militia, has cause a great Exodus of Unionists into Kentucky.

Everything was quiet at Cumberland Gap on the 2d.

A few days since one hundred and four Lincoln troops passed through Big Creek Gap and killed  three and captured fourteen of the sappers and miners employed in blocking up this mountain pass.
