fB We give up no little of our space j
this morning to the Missouri Imbroglio. :
We publish the President's reply to the
acMress of the Missouri delegation ask
ing the removal of Gen. Schofield from j
the command of that Department, and ;
Mr. Drake's reply, and also the Presi- I
dent's instructions to Gen. Schofield rela
tive to the election in
that State next

The whole matter is one of great in
terest to every citizen of every State.

that Lieut A. D. Owen, formerly of the
60th Indiana Regiment, has been pro
moted to the Lieutenant Colonelcy of the
80th He has seen considerable service,

In the same connection we are grati- !
tied to know that Capt Mauck, of the

J6?The Knoxville Bulletin gives a
description of an affair which we do not
remember to have seen before.
On September the 8th, three companies
of the 100th Ohio infantry overtook
about one thousand rebels, with four
pieces of artillery, near Telford Depot,
ninety-three miles from Knoxville, on
the East Tennessee & Virginia railroad.
After a severe skirmish of an hour and
a half duration, the rebels retired, with
a loss of thirty killed and wounded and
one man:!finaQuJle. JJn.io9loss was
100th, near the close o ! the fight, drove
the rebels five hundred yards with the
points of their bayonets.
The affair was more in the nature of
a skirmish than a fight, but it is import
ant as showing that the ''three-to-one"
theory has changed sides during the
war.
His Works do Follow Him. Chap
lain Lozier has paid over to the State
Sanitary Commission, since the 27th of
May, $15,938.83, up to the 21st of Octo
ber. This does not include the hand-
some sum raised by the patriotic people i
of Posey county.
Among the cities of the State, Evans
ville stands first Her $3,000 is the
prominent item, and will soon be swelled
$500 or $600 more. The dona
tions of other cities are as follows: Ter"
re Haute, $800; Muncie, $645; Madison
$630; Princeton and. Gibson county,
$609.
Switzerland county gave $2,618.98;
Jefferson county gave $2,568,65. The
magnificent donation of Switzerland
eounty is a glowing eulogy on the patri
otism and liberality of her citizens.
Jefferson county did nobly, but should
have done better.
Vanderburg county has not been can
vassed outside of the city, we believe,
and we suggest that those in the out
townships who desire to be represented
in this noble and philanthropic work
should make their donations through the
Committee in this city, that our county
may stand first in the State.
Election Sews in the Army.
From almost every quarter we hear
that the soldiers were almost

rith
joyful excitement on receipt of the glo-
nous election news from the North
T
At Nashville the soldiers assembled and
had an enthusiastic jollification on the
evening of the 17th, and, in addition to
numerous excellent speeches, the follow
ing address was read and adopted :
To the loyal men and women of the
North, greeting :
We, the soldiers of the army of the
Cumberland, and citizens attached there
to, thank you that, again forgetting par
ty, and remembering only country, you
have joined hands and hearts to crush
treason at home; and have, in so doing,
injured the armed treason we encounter
in the field.
We thank you that you have so em
phatically declared that you, the citizens
of the United States, and we, the armies
of the United States, are one one in
purposes and effort, one in hope, and
soon, by the blessing of God. we trust
one in victory.
We thank you for the majorities so un
precedented and overwhelming with
which yon have rebuked the men who
never voted us a dollar, nor spoke one
word of cheer.
We thank you that the only question
you asked the candidates was, "Are you
in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the
war?" and, according as their answer
was "yea" or "nay," rewarded them with
your favor, or spurned them with your
contempt.
We thank yon for the confidence in us
you have manifested. We will endeavor
to merit its continuance.
United thus in our love to our nation,
and in our labors tg purge it from trea
son, we shall continue to conquer you
at borne, we in the field till peace again
smiles on our united republic, secure
against internal foes impregnabla to
foreign assault

The Slr!k- at the Hodlam Mine.
An item or two with regard to the
present difficulty and suspension of work
at the coal mine may be of interest
The rate demanded by the miners for
digging is o cents per bushel. The rate
paid at the time when the demand for 5
cents was made was 4 cents per bushel;
at which rate a miner could realize from
$60 to $S0 per month, and this, too, in
much shorter time than what are esteem
'
j
;
!
j
J
!
'
j
ed regular working hours for laborers ;
and mechanics.
Some of the men earning such wages j
are not even regular professional miners. ';
Thev have learned what thev know abont I
coal digging at the mine where they were j
some years ago employed as laborers.
If laborers can so soon learn a business
which at present seems to be so profita
hie, would it not be a good idea for some
of those who are working for a dollar or j
a dollar and a quarter a day to try their j
hands at it?
It is reported that at Shawneetown,
and Casey's mines, similar troubles have
j resulted in the discharge of the old
hands, and the substitution of others in
j their place; and at one, if not both, of
these places they have now more hands
j than they had before the strike.
It would not be right to advocate a
! cause which would result in the reduc
j tlon of wages below a fair and jusl
i standard; but, in the face of such pecu
; aiary facts as those referred to above,
i the strike of the miners is unwarrantable
and unjustifiable.
It is a subject in which the citizens
are interested, since under present cir
cumstances, advances in the rate of wa.
e-es would result in the advance of price 1
o ' . i
! to the consumer. And in point of fac1
. . ,
on the calculations ot an advance ot 2
cents per bushel on the price of the coaL
j In plain terms, they conclude that as
i the people of Evansville just now cannot
; help themselves, the Miners should ben-
; efit by their necessities
Nor is this all An advance in the
price of coal at this time, would proba
bly have to be borne in great measure by
the poorer classes in the city. A large
proportion of the wealthy and well-to-do,
have already ordered their coal while it
is not ?ry likely that any great propor
tion of the poor are furnished with iheir
winter's supply.
In view of such facts as these, the mi
ners ought to be defeated in their un
reasonable demands; nor should they
consider themselves unjustly dealt with,
if the difficulty should result in the dis
charge of the entire force, and the em-
ployment of others in their stead, if they !
persist in their demands.
Arrest of a Supposed Spt. A man
named James Pollard, who claims to be
1 a citizen of Garrard county, Ky., was ar
rested at the depot of the Kentucky
Central Railroad, in Covington, upon the
arrival of the train from Lexington, a
few evenings since, on the suspicion of
beine a rebel spy. He is now confined

Shot a a Quarrel About a Dog.
We learn from the Laporte Union that a
German named Charles Kreiger was
shot down in the street of that place on I
Monday last. It appears that a Mr. !
Cummins's dog ran at him when pass
ing, and Kreiger threw a club at the j
dog. Richard Cummins remonstrated,
when a fight ensued, in which John Cum- j
mins, a younger brother, took part After j
they separated, Richard and Kreiger had ;
another fight, and John Cummins fired !
j twice at Kreiger with his revolver.
The i
second shot hit Kreiger in the left side
of the abdomen. John surrendered
himself to the authorities, and is now in
jail awaiting examination
A Sigxificaxt Fact. ince the
change of front observable in England
towards this country, two of the leading
i journals in Paris have boldly asserted
; that France cannot now recognize the
Davis Government " It is too late, "
asserts the Steele, the republican organ,
and the Opinion JSalionale, the organ i
of the liberal party, headed by
Napoleon.

Guerrilla Operations in Kentucky.
We find the following items of guerril
la operations Kentucky, in the Louisville,
Journal of Saturday:
On Wednesday a force of guerrillas,
one hundred to one hundred and fifty in
number, made a raid into the town of
Greensburg, Green county, and robbed
the bank of all its contents. They also
robbed all the stores in the town of such
articles as they desired. We believe
they met with no opposition. In the
town and neighborhood they stole a num
ber of good horses. From Greensburgh
thev moved in the direction of Bardstown.

l- l - r .u. . r
I.. . . ... . .
Kichardson s, no doubt entered Colum
bia, Adair county, at an early hour Wed
nesduy morning. They robbed the
stores and shops in the town, and stole
all the good horses they could put their
hands upon, and departed in the direc
tion of Greensburg, Green county. We
are without further particulars.
We have reliable information that
Richardson's guerrillas, estimated at
from two hundred fifty to four hundred
strong, made a raid into Bardstown on J
Thursday night, capturing the town with
out resistance, there beine, we learn, nol
Federal troops stationed there. They
burned the depot, our informant states, j
capruftd and burned a locomotive and ;
train of cars, robbed the stores and the
citizens of the town, and cut the tele- i
graph wires. We have no further partic- j
ulars as to whether they did any other '
mischief, or if they remained in the 1
town. The presumption is, however, that !
they left after the accomplishment of !
such damage as they could do. t
This is doubtless tbe same gang that
made the raid into Columbia on Wednes- '
day.
A guerrilla force, said to be about fifty
in number, crossed the line of the Leba
BOO Branch Railroad, between Lebanon
and New Haven, Thursday evening. .
They cut the telegraph wire, but did no
other damage. The Lebanon train, es
Marled by a guard, came through yes
terday morning.
A company of Federal soldiers pur-
SU'-
cro
the fitly guerrillas who yesterday i
?! e Memphis Branch Railroad, :
near le, came up with and rout
ed them, kii!irz three, wounding several,
and, we are informed, cagturing several
horses and as many of the guerrillas.
Al last accounts the Federals were still
in pursuit of the fleeing guerrillas.

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald gives the following incidents of
the battle of Chicamanga
Captain Harris, of the 19th Indiaua
Battery, stood at his gnns, after being
twice wounded, and when he became
weak from loss of blood he made his j
men support him whilst he sighted the
guns, fie is a brave man and thd best
shot in tbe army. The rebels laid in
heaps in front of his battery. His i
wounds are not dangerous, and he will !
soon recover.
When the lO.ith mad; their charge,
one of our men saw a rebel lying be- '
hind a tree; he stepped towards bim, :
and asked him if he was wounded; his ;
answer was " Yes, God d n you, " and j
raising his piece at the same time, fired. ;
The shot missed. I saw the glitter of a 1
bayonet, but before any one could inter- )
pose he was pinned to the ground. This i
looked wicked, but perhaps he deserved !
it.
A man by the name of Brock, in the i
11th Ohio regiment, was wounded j
through the neck and lower jaw at Per- :
ryville. He had not been in the engage-
meat over ten minutes on Sunday when '
a ball struck him in the same place, tak
ing th same course of the other, making
a horribh vound. If he lives this time
it will be i wonder.
George Kizer, of the 75th Indiana reg
iment, c pany F, was killed on the
fiell Sum. Before he was killed he
had requested his messmates to send his
! photograph, with some other things, to
; his mother, incase he was killed; but
! there is not often a chance to attend to
such things on the field. On Saturday
' night last the rebels thought we were
i evacuating the place, and they threw for
1 ward thair right to attack us. They soon
found out their mistake. They were
scooped in no time. We took thirty
I prisoners, and killed and wounded as
manv more. On one of the dead rebs
! tbe Indiana boys found Kizer's knap
sack, witn bis likeness and all his things,
which the boys have now sent to his
.1 t 1:1 ir i
mother. I sa the likenesss myself, and
the boys were positive in the idenity.
Th Roiscrsm Kecept ion.
The wholesale charges circulated
through the Eastern papers, with refer-
ence to General Kosecrans, serve to in
tensify the feeling of our people in his
behalf. There is the very best authority
! for saying that a portion at least of the
1 charges in the Washington Chronicle are ,
infamous slanders; and this being so, it !
is tair to regard the whole as unreliable.
The Kosecrans reception, therefore, j
should, and we have no doubt it will, be i
such as to encourage this popular Gene
ral, and to assure him and the country
that he has a deep hold upon the people,
and that the confidence of the citizens
cannot be shaken by a mere removal j
from command, especially when this act
is sought to be sustained by charges,
many of which are not only known to be
false, but bear the impress of malicious
slanders; and all others of which it is.
therefore, fair to regard as equally base,
both as regards origin and motive. Un
less other evidence than that given
through the Eastern papers can be fur-
nished, General Kosecrans will su
nothing in the estimation of thepublic.
Let preparations be made, therefore, to
give him a reception that shall be the
fair expression of the feelings of the peo
ple of Cincinnati, in regard to the valua
ble services he has performed in behalf
; of his country. It will be seen by our
; despatches that the General may be ex
i pected here on Monday. Cin. Gaz.

It is said that Gen. Meade made a
frank statement concerning the pre-emto-ry
instructions lately received by him,
to compel Gen. Lee to accept a fight,
which not having been able to carry out
to the letter, he declared himself willing
and ready to resign his command. The
President declined to accept atiy such
proposition, and Gen. Meade has gone
back to his post.
It has rumored that Gen. Lee has sent
one more division to support Bragg, and
that he is withdrawing the rest of his
forces behind the fortifications of Fred
ericksburg. Gen. Gregg's cavalry advanced on a
reconnoissance yesterday, within two
miles of the Rappahannock. He return
ed to camp without finding the enemy.
Last night a brisk fight was had with
Moseby's guerrillas in Fairfax county, in
which several were killed and numbers
taken prisoners. Among others is Jack
Barnes, a notorious scoundrel, who has
been three times captured, and escaped
by taking the oath of allegiance.

I, is now positively ascertained that a
portion of Swell's corps has been sent
from Gordonsville by rail to resist Burn

reported advance of our forces on the

It should be borne in mind that Burn

No apprehensions are felt for Burnside't
