Skirmishing at Kingston Springs.
A note jfrom Lieut-Colonel Scully, of
the First Middle Tennessee Infantry,
says the Louisville Journal of Monday,
states that a body of rebel cavalry un
der Major Hawkins, about one hundred
and fifty strong, attacked a portion of
his commsnd at Kingston Springs, Tenn.
last Thursday. Sergeant Baker and
three of his men were severely wounded)
and two of them captured by the rebels.
The rebels were quickly driven off, and
a large force sent in pursuit We learn,
says the Journal from other sources
that two of tbe 'rebels were kiHed.
Hawkins' entire force was reported at
five hundred strong, the bulk of which
went toward Franklin, leaving a detach
ment to attack the Springs. No dam
age whatever was done to the stores or
property of the Springs. Colonel Scul
ly and his forces will be certain to give
all such visitors a hot reception.
Jim Kellar. This notorious robber,
with five of his fellows, was captured on
the 17th inst, near Sharpsburg, Ky., by
the 71st Indiana, and subsequently shot
by William Watkins. On the previous
Thursday, as we learn from the Paris
Citizen, the gang were in Flat Rock and
robbed Mr. Alexander Evans uf w-t
$400, Watkins of $350 and a horse, Mr.
Lewis Earlywine of $160 and all his
wife's jewelry.. While taking the flag
down in Flat Rock, Kellar told Watkins
that he was the man who killed Wileman
and that he had come to kill him, but as
he was a pretty clever fellow he would
not do it this time, bnt said if ever an
other' Union flag was pnt up in Flat
Rock he would kill him and Evans.
The soldiers who made the capture, not
being acquainted withjthe country, took
with them Mr. Wm. Fox of Flat Rock,
who it is thought was mainly instrument
al in securing success. A man named
Jones, from the neighborhood of North
Middleton, and one of the Cheshires
from Paris, are among the captured.
Another Guerrilla Outrage.
From the Memphis Bulletin, Oct. the 24th.
As the steamer John H. Groesbeck,
which arrived here last evening from
New Orleans, was passing Laconia Land
ing, the guerrillas, according to their
custom, commenced to fire into her. It
may have been on account of the guns
which the Groesbeck carries at her bow,
that they delayed their fire until the
steamer" had passed a short distance.
The Captain of the Groesbeck had no
notion of receiving a salute of that
aot without returning the compliment;
consequently he brought his guns to bear
ihe scamps, and a good dose of shells
soon sent them skedadling through the
woods. Tbe boat, however, continued the
fire, and presently two women appeared
on the scene swinging something white

The Louisville Journal of Mon
day pays our State and people the fol
lowing pithy complimeat:
Patriotic Indiana. It would' seem
that our gallant Hoosier neighbors in the
district opposite this city (the Second)
will never tire in their devotion to the
country, and their determination to fighti?which, as you will see, explains itself,
out the rebellion. That district has ul- ' I wanted to send some good liquor to
ready raised near thirteen thousand men
for the war, and it js conservative by &
larger majority than any district in the ,
Mate. Ve notice that Capt. Charles L.
Lamb has been authorized to recruit a
cavalry battalion in the district. Capt.
Lamb is a fine officer, and his battalion
. i , iMi? tl i
will not be lone in filling up. The boun
ties offered are $302. The Hoosier boys,
however, do not wait for a moneyed in
ducement to take them into the army.
The Miners' Reply.
The Miners of the Bodiam Mines have
read an article in the Journal of October
26th, headed, " The Strike at the Bodiam
Mine," in which the writer appeals to the
public. They desire, through the same
medium, to state briefly and respectfully
their side of the case. They are willing
for the publie to decide on the justice of j
their demand after hearing both sides
the Employees as well as the Employer.
The writer says that the Miner can
earn, at 4 cents per bushel, $60 to $80,
by wording " a much shorter time than
what are usiia:ly esteemed regular work
ing hours." The Miner at the Bodiam
Mines works below and under the ground
more than eight hours. He works in an
atmosphere of noxious gases and of pow
der smoke. He is begrimed with dirt
and surrounded by danger. He never
knows when he goes down whether he
will ever get up again to his wife and
children. And this is the character of la
bor which the writer compares in value
with the ordinary labor of the mechanic!
It is not true that " some of the men
earning such wages are not even regu
lar miners," and " have learned by being
employed as laborers," Ac, as a general
rule. Sometimes, and very rarely, such
wages have been made by unprofes
sional miners, but they are exceptions.
The average gain of such miners does
not amount to $50, and not more than
three men that have learned to dig coal
here have earned $60 to $80, and they
have been at the business from three to
six years, or thereabouts. It is not easy
to learn a business attended with so much
danger, exposure and fatigue, nor is it
true that a dollar or a dollar and a quar
ter a day are the regular wages of even
common laborers. Labor cannot now
be had for such prices.
The writer says, " it is reported that at
Shawn eetown and Casey's Mines similar
troubles have resulted in the discharge of
the old hands," &c. We don't know how
that is, but we do know that great efforts
have been made to induce some of us to go
to these and other mines at advanced wa
ges. We have refused to leave Evansville
because we are men of families, and the
manager of the Bodiam mines, relies on
that fact now. We hold that the mines
are realizing profits enough to accede to
our demands without raising the price
of coal, which has already been greatly
advanced in price. We know what the
expenses are, and what the receipts are,
nearly exactly, and we know that the
mines can well afford to pay an increased
price for labor.
The wages paid1 at the Bodiam mines
are not the average of wages fpaid else
where. We know mines of five feet veins
in which 5 cents per bushel are paid. In
such mines tbe cost of powder is very
slight, as very lityle blasting is required.
But in the Bodiam mines the vein varies
from 3 feet 9 inches to 4 feet, and it costs
c.c. - i i tSHilsiar month
to buy powder with which to blast
The miners do not desire to benefit by
anybody's necessities. But all prices
have gone up on them, and they have in
some cases large families, and it is with
difficulty that they can support them, and
they think their wages should go up in
proportion to those of other workmen.
This fact is noticeable: that the miners'
wages have always been reduced when
coal is low, and now when coal is high
they are not proportionately, put up. We
never did get the prices which are paid
elsewhere. Coal has gone up from 9, 10
and 11 cents to 14 cents, but the miners'
wages have not increased in the
same
ratio, while the expenses of the mines
have remained nearly the same in the
other small matters besides the wages of
the coal-diggers. Our labor is the chief
expense "of the mines, and now, when
coal goes up to 14 cents, is it not fair
that we should receive a proportionate
increase? The price of powder has been
increased to us, but our wages have not
been increased in proportion to the in
crease in the price of coal.
We did not commence this newspaper
discussion, but justice to ourselves re
quired this answer. The manager seeks
to curry favor with the citizens. . We
think the surest foundation of such favor
would be to do justice to us, who are also
citizens. Getting now five, four and
three cents more for coal than he for
m rh did, he can well afford to act up

Cairo, October 26th. The Memphis
Bulletin of the 24th says:
On the 21st tbe advanced Union forces
eastward from Corinth met with resist
ance at Cherokee Station, eighty-nine
miles from Tuscumbia.
General Osterhaus was in the advance,
and had not advanced far when he en
countered two brigades of rebel cavalry
under Generals Lee and Forrest, estim
mated at from 4,000 to 5,000.
The fight lasted an hour, when the re
bels were driven back with severe loss.
Our loss was severe in killed, and
37 were wounded, most of which were
made by mistaking Lee's cavalry, who
were dressed in blue overcoats, for onr
soldiers.
The rebels are said to have very strong
fortifications a mile this side of Tuscum
bia, on the railroad.
Prisoners report that the enemy ex
pect to make a stout resistance there.
They say they had 4,000 men there on
Tuesday, and received reinforcements of
1,000 cavalry on Wednesday, and 2,000
more were expected fiom Bragg.
The steamer Mist, just from below, on
her way to Memphis, while landing on
the Mississippi side of the river fifteen
miles above Helena, on the 21st. was
boarded by teu or fifteen guerrillas and
robbed ot $20,000 and other valuables.
They then fired the boat, which was
consumed, together with a number of
bales of eotton. The boat was owned
at Paducah. Loss, $40,000.
The new trade regulations went into
effect at Memphis to-day.
Reports from New Orleans show a re

one day.

Cincinnati, October 27. Gen. Rose

the back-bone of the rebellion would
have been broken.
The General left last night for his

A Knoxville dispatch of the 25 th to

The engagement to-day was a hand-to-hand

The rebel force was estimated at about
$5,000. They lost over 300 in killed,
wounded and prisoners.
Woolford re-captured his wagon train

Special to the World.
Washington, Oct 26. Advices from
the front to-day show that the reports that
a considerable portion of Lee's forces
have crossed the Rappahannock for the
purpose of resuming the offensive, are
considerably exaggerated. The rebels
maintain a bold line along the Bappa-
bannock, to prevent a further advance of
our forces. If Lee should essay to cross
to this side, he may not find another ad
vance towards Washington as- easy
matter as his late one. Skirmishing to
day is lightly kept up.
The Treasury Department recently
sent $7,0C0,000 to the West, for the pay
ment of troops.
The following is from rebel papers:
Chicamauga, Oct 21.
To Gen. Cooper:
The following dispatch was received
from Maj. Gen. Stevenson:
Charleston, Tenn., Oct 20.
The cavalry under Morrison and Dib
bord attacked the enemy's cavalrv in
force at Philadelphia to day, capturing ;
about 400 prisoners, their artillery, small
arms, camp equipage, &e. Our loss was
nothing. They were entirely routed.
Charleston, Oct 21. The enemy
were pursued to their defenses at Lou
don, and arrived there after dark. Their
force is not known. Their loss is 700
prisoners, and five wagons loaded with
stores, ten ambulances, six pieces of ar
tillery, a lot of horses, mules, and other
property.

Tribune's Dispatch.
Washington, Oct 26. A mutual ex
change of records of deceased prisoners
has been agreed upon by the proper au
thorities of the United States and the
Confederate Government, and Surgeon
General Barnes has issued the necessary
orders to surgeons in charge of hospitals
where rebel prisoners are confined. Col.
Hoffman, commanding general of pris
oners, has received one list from Rich
mond. By the last declaration of exchange
issued by the rebel Commissioner Ould,
the difference between the two Govern
ments in respect to numbers is 10,000
greater than before, and the probability
of a speedy adjustment is so much fur
ther removed.
The Herald has the following:
Army of Potomac, )
Oct 26th, 1863. j
Heavy artillery firing at the extreme
front, appearing to be near and to the
left of Bealton, has been heard to-day at
intervals. It ceased about 5 o'clock.
The presumption is another artillery and
cavalry skirmish, though infantry may
have been engaged.
Advices from the front this morning
substantiate the belief that the rebels
have no desire to fight us this side of the
Rapidan.
There have been a few skirmishes be
tween the cavalry, in which small por
tions of infantry participated. But our
lines are now extended to the Rappahan
nock and the army quietly is resting in
camps.
There are rumors here to-night of
fighting going on at the front to-day, but
the officers from the front report all quiet
There is no information of any engag
ment beyond mere picket skirmishing,
and I am convinced no very formidable
infantry force of the enemy are on the
Rappahannock, and I believe the Army
of the Potomac, will be abundantly able
to crush completely what may be left of
Lee's, whenever a general engagement
can be brought on.
Day before yesterdav, Lieut Boyce,
5th New York Cavalry, stationed at
Thoroughfare Gap rode out in the direc
tion ot Aldie, tor the purpose of ascer
taining whether any of Moseby s guer
rillas were in that vicinity, the infantry
pickets having been withdrawn. Taking
but one man with him, he proceeded
with great caution till he came upon a
party of cavalry dressed in our uniform
and numbering about a dozen, whom he
supposed to be our men. Riding up they
surrounded him and ordered him to de
liver up his arms. Handing his sword
and revolver, he rode with them till
they came in sight of another party,
when the Lientenr.nt drew a revolver
from his boot, shot three of the guerril
las, and with his orderly escaped. The
guerrillas fired on him, wounding him in
five places, but not seriously.

Irittenbkrg has now on hands I
. splendid assortment of Optical Instruments,
which he will dispoiw of at greatly reduced
prices; his goods being all of the very latest im
provements in manufacture, consisting of a very
large variety of Spectacles from the mont common
to the very best, viz : The finest quality of Gold
Spectacles, these Glasses being constructed on the
most accurate adaptation of the Convex Concavo
Periscopic principles. Also, Silver of three dif
ferent grades of Glasses, No. 1 being on the same
principle as the Gold Spectacles. No. 2 is a Peri
focal Lenso ; No. :i being a fine Achromatic Lens ,
mirror shape.
In addition to the above I have a line assort
ment of Steel, of the very best quality of Lenses,
the frames being grooved into the Glasses. The
frames are so fine as to be scarcely visible. No. 2
of steel is Perifocal No. S the globules of a
smoked Lense, adapted for weak sight where
strong light, snow or wind affects the vision.
These Spectacles are a perfect preventative by use
Ingthem constantly, causing the eye to gain its
neaiiny power anu retain it to oia age.
Having had very considerable experience also in
cateract eyes, In adapting glasses to such vision,
would impress on the minds of all persoi need
ing glasses of any descript:on, to apply such
only to a regular Optician, making that sole
study and business for years, lie alone bt-in . able
to know from the peculiar anatomy of the i ye the
nature of the defect, whether arising from weak
ness of sight, flattening of the pupil, or other
misfortune occurring to the visien. The eye be
ing the most delicate orgs, and of the most vital
importance to the happiness and prosperity of
man, should never be tampered with, either by
the individual or by those who, for mere profit,
take upon themselves the selling of Optical In
struments, and who know nothing of the anatomy
of the eye, or how to discover the proper glasses to
1 sun me peculiarity 01 tne ainerent signta ot those
i needing spectacles. Thousands have lost their
vision entirely from not applying to those osly
qualified to know the different defects in each ln-
I dividual's sight, and how to remedy it by wearing
! the proper kind of spectacles. I. Bittenberg,

i regular practical optician, can assure thosegiving

with Astromical eye pieces, being very suporior
to the old opera glass arrangement. All kinds ot
