Many Wounded and Prisoners.

~. On Wednesday last, the battalion of
- Col Shackelford's regiment, Sth Ken
lucky Cavalry, commanded by Major
= -- Holloway, was attacked by a large force
: ~ of guerrillas under command of Col A
Fowler, on Pond River, seven miles
from Maddisonville, on the Greenville
r. road Tx
" The Attack was CALAMITY met by Ma
jor Holloways command, and the rebels
s<-- completely routed with loss of eight
killed, and a large number wounded and
ar-. taken prisoners. -.
Among the killed is Col Fowler, COM
+ manding the guerrillas A man named
A. Scales q low but desperate character,
- who has been particularly active in ar
- resting Union men, and robbing indis-
criminately, was desperately wounded,
&. requiring the amputation ofhis arm.
Adam johnson, who like John Nor
Ian, seems to like to steal and plumber
better than to fight, had, it seems, been
with Fowler, but before the fight com
menced left for the ostensible purpose of
- bringing up re-enforcements, but failed
TO return until the HHuJ was over anu MS
sl friends routed.
Fowler was one of the men who sent
the flag of truce to Henderson on Tues
sa7. day, and which was so treacherously vio-
a lated by an attempt to carry out Informal
'H~H' ton of the strength and position of the
Federal troops.
These treacherous knaves. met with
.a~ swift retributon for their rascalty,
Fowler already fills traitors grave,
:; and Winstead, who became his willing
tool in his base treachery, is now in
close confinement at Henderson, and
will doubtless be tried as spy and re-
Il ceive the doom of spy. May we not
hope that this is the beginning of new
era in the Green River country, and
that we may soon have the pleasure Of
= :. recording fate for Adam Johnson SINH
,,.or lar to that of Fowler?

70 4, true chivalry that we hope to see become
81. contagious While the guerrillas are
q "a. e suffering from the modification and de-
moralization of defeat, let them be again
M. Immediately hunted and driven from the

Stragglers from the Army.

Correspondents from the Army give
most distressing accounts If the mum
Der OF stragglers, who are scattered
throughout the country, between Rich.
mond and Maryland. A correspondent
OF the Lynchburg Republican say $:
/ must state with sorrow that had it
not been for stragglcrs, who deserted
ranks, that the victory would have been
the most complete Of the war. Some.
thing should be done by the authorities
at Richmond to abatc his evil, which
has assumed an epidemic form, and is
getting to be as contagious as small pox
and Other pests. At least 10000 men
disgraced themselves by fleeing from
the field in the face of the encmy, and
what is most shameful Of all u.s., that u
largo proportion Of them wore bars on
the collars of the coats and straps upon
their shoulders. What should be done
with such ]poltroons? ] am told that
General Lee intends having every man
who bears the oognomcn OF an officer
that deserted his post on that trying
occasion, brought beforea drumhead
Court Martial, and if nothing more Sc
we're can be done, have them cashiered
and place them in the front ranks with
a musket. trust this report may BE-
true, aud l thinl. in future that every
man who leaves Tie field without or.
dcrs should be shot Oh the spot, as it is
the only way to put an end TO this
growing evil.
The roasting-car division s:ragglcrs
NOW number at least $4,000 and if we
had them in the ranks whore they
should have been at the battle Of obarps-
burg, the whole Yankee forces would
have been whipped out Of their boots
and completely routed.
