I will try and destroy railroad bridges on either side of Knoxville, and throughout will act upon a bold, determined policy, as it is the only prudent one in my position. The present fate of East Tennessee depends upon Kirby Smith being all occupied at Chattanooga. Copy of this sent to Secretary of War. Most respectfully, George W. Morgan, Brigadier-General, Commanding. [inclosure no. 8.] Lambdin's, foot of Cumberland Mountains, June 10, 1862.
