changed since our last. Schoepf and Zoi-
licoffer have had no fight as vet near Som
erset, though one was daily expected.
Schoepf, on the 18th, sent ont small force
to reconnoitre He found Zoi cof;er
strongly posted, about equal 10 himself in
men, but not as we'll supplied with artillery.
Marshall and Crtteuieh, rebel chiefs aie
said t. be approaching Somerset from the
east with from 5000 to $1,000 men, SO that
Sehoepf must have his battle soon Or will
have to run.
