Sherman, to the amount of 25,000 men, and the two armies necessarily exhausted and laid waste the country through which they passed. As the army of Sherman advanced, that of Longstreet withdrew, and it still sullenly holds its position not more than thirty miles distant, and occupying the country to within five miles of this place. The two armies, amounting to not less than 50,000 men, with a very heavy pro- portion of cavalry, have drained and exhausted the whole of East Ten- nessee. Union men..., upon the approach of the rebel army here, aban- doned their homes, and the more prominent rebel citizens, for the most part, have deserted their possessions within our lines, and sought safety with their friends. From what has been said, your Excellency will see that we are reduced to almost the last extremity of suffering and want. That part of Our labor not already in the army, cannot now be profitably employed in the midst of hostile demonstrations. Our stock, including cattle, hogs, and sheep, is well nigh gone, our horses have been taken by one government or the other, or stolen by stragglers or natural thieves, and our farms, in a great degree, have been left fenceless.
