VERY IMPORTANT NEWS.

Success of Gen. Burnside in East Tennessee.

CAPTURE OF KINGSTON.

East Tennessee Evacuated by the Rebels.

BRIDGEPORT, Tenn., Friday, Sept. 4.

Gen. BURNSIDE telegraphs that he took Kingston on the 2d inst. Part of Gen. MINTEY'S brigade, of this army, went in immediately. Gen. BURNSIDE says he met with little serious opposition.

All Eastern Tennessee except the Chattanooga region has been evacuated and is free. Everything is working splendidly both in this army and in BURNSIDE'S. The great obstacles of the region -the Lookout Mountains- will be surmounted in a day or two.

Progress of the March - Rebels Captured.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY IN THE FIELD,
Thursday, Aug, 27, 1863. 

The plot begins to thicken. We are beginning to realize that we are in Dixie. Four hundred rebel cavalry came within ten miles of us this morning and gobbled up a few Tennessee soldiers who had probably straggled off to see their families. They turned off toward the Gap, and will probably fall into the hands of our cavalry, who are scouting the roads in all directions. We are resting, and as soon as subsistence and other matters are righted will be ready for a move in any direction.
Reports continue to come in confirming the previous accounts of rebel desperation and demoralization. Deserters are arriving constantly, and affirm that POLK and BUCKNER'S armies will be dissolved by desertion, when the fugitives become once assured of safety.
Scouts from Cumberland Gap say several rebel regiments are there with artillery, and there are rumors of reinforcements. Gen. BURNSIDE'S policy regarding correspondents is extremely stringent, and but little news of interest or importance can be forwarded at present. Nothing but simple relations of past facts will be allowed, and neither praise nor censure of persons or measures is permitted. The troops are in excellent heart, well in hand, and ready for anything. Nothing of interest beyond the march has occurred. Our rest will probably be short.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY IN THE FIELD,
EAST TENNESSEE, Friday, Aug. 28, 1863.

The party of rebs who approached our lines yesterday, blundered into the path of the First Tennessee, as we expected, were whipped, broken up, and some forty of them captured. Col. GRAHAM captured sixty of another body near the Cumberland. We pervade all the roads with our cavalry, and but a few of these wandering marauders will escape. There is no change in military matters since yesterday. We are moving. As mail facilities will soon cease, this may be my last letter for some time. S. S.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

THE REBELLION.

We have important news this morning from East Tennessee. Kingston was captured by Gen. BURNSIDE the 2d inst, our forces meeting with little serious opposition. Part of a brigade from Gen. ROSECRANS' army entered the place simultaneously with Gen. BURNSIDE'S troops. The dispatch which brings us this information also announces that all East Tennessee, with the exception of the Chattanooga region, has been evacuated by the rebels, and is now free!

~~~~

The Syracuse Journal, of Wednesday evening, announces that an officer from the front of Gen. ROSECRANS' army, only five days ago, passed * * * * there that morning on his way to Oswego. He speaks in the most encouraging manner of the position and successes of the army in that center. He regards East Tennessee as virtually * * * * * * * of rebels. The army under Gen. ROSECRANS is in prime condition, and strong enough to meet any rebel force that can be brought against it. The rebels are in a destitute condition, and they are liberally supplied by Gen. ROSECRANS with food and subsistence.
