The Situation at Knoxville.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR GEN. BURNSIDE.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
CINCINNATI, Friday, Nov. 27,

     We have some reports from Knoxville which seem to indicate the Gen. Burnside is perfectly secure in his position. The rebel cavalry are now in the country lying between Cumberland Gap and Knoxville, but no damage has been done to our communications with Gen. Burnside as yet.

Gen. Longstreet has not yet made a heavy assault upon the city, but seems to be anxious to secure prominent positions for his batteries, so that he can command the place from different points, and demand a capitulation.

He acts as if his force was not sufficient to hazard a heavy battle under existing circumstances.

A column is already in motion for the relief of Gen. Burnside, under Gen. Wilcox, and reinforcements are being sent forward as rapidly as practicable.

Parson Brownlow is in the interior, and is working hard to keep open communications with the army.

No fears are entertained here for the ultimate result, especially in view of our great victories near Chattanooga.
