day too late for our last paper.
NOBLE, August 23-A special dispatch 10 the
Advertiser and Register. from know lie on the
9th, says One of Morgan's men arrived here to-
day from Hartsville, Tenn. Tie states that on the
10Th, Morgan advanced near Ciallatin about twenty
miles northwest of Nashville, on the Nashville and
Louisville railroad. and there encountered a body
Of 500 Federals. BY a rapid movement. the trs~tle
work on the railroad at SaundersviIie was burned
and their retreat cut off. One hundred and twenty
Yankees were taken prisoners. and six killed and
wounded. Forty citizens, who were being marched
to Nashville as prisoners, were rescued and 200
stands of arms captured. Our loss Is Adiutant
Miles and Lieutenant Smith killed, and three
wounded.
The same night Morgan advanced his force 20
within eight miles of Nashville, destroying all the
bridges on the railroad between Galatin and Nash
vile, and Nashville and Springfield on the Hen
derson and Nashville railroad.
On the Goth, Morgan returned to a point near
Gallatin, with force Of only 700 men, and engaged
| 1900 of the enemy, under Gen. Rich d 4. johnson.
formerly lawyer Of PadUcah, Ky. The enemy
were routed, with loss in killed and wounded Of
| $50, and 200 prisoners among whom were Johnson
and two officers Of his staff The loss Of Morgan
command was five killed and eighteen wounded.

/ 500. Morgan had about l 200. The enemy were
nearly all cut to pieces. and the remnant captured
among them Gen. johnson and fifteen commissioned
officers. Our loss is variously estimated at from
% to I20-the former probably correct. Johmson's
Cavalry were raised for the express purpose Of
capturing Morgan. Forrest arrived after the
/ fighting was over. Over three hundred prisoners
were captured.
/ Cumberland Gap is still invested by Gen. Kirby
Smiths forces. The enemy cannot long sustain the

SCARCITY OF ARMS.

The New York Times has the follow
ing important dispatch from Washington
relative to the scarcity of arms for the
new Northern quota:
Not long ago it was discovered that
the Secretary of War, with his vigorous
way of doing things, had stopped enlist
ments of our volunteer service just at the
time when enlistments were beginning to
be most needed and if it should turn
out that the blunder in breaking all the
gun contracts was of equal magnitude,
It will not be because the Secretary of
War is not guilty. Arms in abundance
might have been ready now of our own
manufacture, but as it is we are depend
ent upon captured cargoes and on going
into foreign markets.

ADMINISTERING TIE OATH.

Whenever the Federal power has a
foothod in North Virginia, they are at
tempting to carry out the odious order
Of Pope requiring the citizens to take the
oath to sustain the Government, In
Frederick, Berkeley, Jefferson and Clarke,
and perhaps other counties on the border,
proclamations were issued. fixing a day
in the early part of last week for the as
sembling of the people at their respective
county seats for that purpose. Of the
result in Frederick and Berkeley we have
not heard, but learn that in Clarke and
Jefferson not one man was found so bank
rupt in character as to respond to the
summons of Lincoln's unprincipled
agents. In Jefferson they were required
to appear at the Methodist Church in
Charlestown, and early in the morning
the Commandant of the Post and two
Lieutenants repaired to the Church,
where they remained until night. when
the books were closed without the name
of single disIoyal Virginian being reg
istered upon them.-Lynch5urg Rep.

Some stir was created in camp, and a thou
ssnd times more in Washington, find, by a
raid of two hundred and fifty guerrllas upon
Catlett's station. Under cover of night, they
dashed in upon a small collection Of men and
wagons, and .stampeding 4 lot OF suffers and
servants andsteamsters. burnt seven wagons.
ran off a number of horses, and took about one
hundred prisoners. The most serious part Of
the business is. they took Gen. Pope's person
al baggage and moneys, and all his official
papers, correspondence, etc, which happened
to be in one of the wagons that had been sent
to the rear in the attack at Catlett's station.
Twenty supply trains were destroyed, or their
contents injured by the rebels. Many wagons
were too wet to burn.
