ANOTHER IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.
Skirmish in Northeastern Tennessee - Probable Advance of Gen. Schoepf.
The Norfolk Day Book, of Thursday, has the following:
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE, Feb. 5,

On Sunday, Lieutenant-Colonel White's Cavalry encountered a force of Lincoln's Infantry in Morgan County, Tennessee, on the mountain side. The Lincoln force was estimated at one hundred to three hundred. White charged upon the enemy. Capt. Duncan rallied his men twice, when he was shot, through the head and killed by J. Roberts, a lad, fifteen years old. The Kentucky Unionist were then completely routed, and fled in confusion, leaving seven of their dead upon the field.
[ From the above dispatch it looks as though the advance of Gen. Schoepf's brigade had penetrated into Tennessee. The latest news from the West of movements in that direction is up to seven days prior to the date of the above rebel dispatch, at which time the brigade of Gen. Carter had left its position on the Cumberland River, in Kentucky, and had taken up the march for Cumberland Gap, via Barboursville, while the brigade of Gen. Schoepf was on the eve of taking up its line of march for Tennessee, via Monticello. It is quite likely that the advance of the latter column may have reached Morgan County. The rebellion in Tennessee is being pricked simultaneously at a number of points. - Ed Times ]
