KNOXVILLE, September 14, 1861.
Adjutant-General COOPER:
Governor Harris and
General Buckner telegraphed me if possible to arrest the movement of which I
apprised you on the 10th.* It is too late to arrest. To withdraw would be
unfortunate, unless the Federal forces which menace us will agree to withdraw.
I have informed Governor Magoffin through Governor Harris I will withdraw on
this condition.
F. K. ZOLLICOFFER,
Brigadier-General.
