Lieutenant-General LONGSTREET,
Commanding near Knoxville:

GENERAL: On arriving here yesterday, about 1 p. m., I found that our line had been broken and our army was falling back. General Bragg desires me to say to you that he wishes you to fall back, with your command, upon Dalton, if possible. If you find that impracticable, he thinks you will have to fall back toward Virginia. At all events, he desires that your order all the cavalry to Dalton.
