Editor Enquirer; Our cavalry are daily skirmishing with the enemy. Yesterday fleott's cavalry fought them at Loudon for six hours, with what loss to tho ene my I could not learn. We lost one man kill mi anl six wounded. Previous to ibe appearance of tho enemy our forces ap plied tho torch to tho combustibles piled upon tho Railroad Bridge, and in u few hours that magnificent s ruoturo was a mass of ruin*. On the same day Gouoral Forrest gave the-enemy n sovoro drub bing at Kingston, killing and wounding n large number of thorn. Kingston is a aiuall county town, located upon the batik* of tho Tennessee and Clinch riv er*, eighteen milos below Loudon. Alter the tight was over, Gen. Forrest com menced crossing his command by ferry boats, over tho_Tenn<*Rsoe river. While crossing over with tho last detachment, the ferry l?nut sunk, drowning ten men. The remainder fv/nm ashore.

Col. Scott, command ing h brigade of cavalry, has his com mand in lino of battle at Athens. 1 learn ed to-day that tho Yankees had picked up about 400 men, belonging to Vaughn’s and Reynolds’ Tenn.

No doubt tho enemy's next Assault will bo upon Grogg, and as ho will bring to boar against it all Ltto powerful appliances of war that ho was enabled to concontrato upon Wag ner, wo may perhaps ns well rueonoilu ourselves to its fall also. But it by no moans follows that Charleston will thou be reached, or oven that the ruins of Sumter will tie surrendered. There is encouragement in tho subjoin ed paragraph which we copy from tho Savannah Republican. The editor of that paper has been nt Charleston during most of tho Yankee operations against the har bor defences, and 1ms had unusual facili ties for obtaining correct Information.
