Telegram To General A. E. Burnside. War Department, Washington, November 9, 1863.4 P.M. MAJOR-GENERAL BURNSIDE, Knoxville, Tenn.: Have seen dispatch from General Grant about your loss at Rogersville. Per contra, about the same time, Averell and Duffle got considerable advantage of the enemy at and about Lewisburg, Virginia: and on Saturday, the seventh, Meade drove the enemy from Rappahannock Station and Kelly's Ford, capturing eight battle-flags, four guns, and over 1800 prisoners, with very little loss to himself. Let me hear from you. A. LINCOLN.
