ERoM MIDDLE THNNEssEE.-Ths Knoxville
Register Of the 6th has late intelligence from
Middle Tennessee. Col. Woodard. of the
Kentucky cavalry, whose headquarters is
at Gainesville, recently attacked Fort Don
elson with a force of 800. The Federal force
consisting Of 200 infantry and 500 cavalry,
at first repulsed Woodland, who fell back to
the Cumberland Iron Works. The enemy
pursued, and were acre drawn into an am
euScads, and after a brief engagement, were
completely routed and Woodard drove them
back and captured Fort Denelson. The fruit
OF this victory was q large quantity of arms
captured. and several pieces of artillery,
which Gel, w. brought off safe to Clarks-
vile.
Its reported TINT the Fe'lerals are busiIy
engaged in certifying Nashville, putting
siege guns in position upon the neighbor-
ing hills, feeling the trees, and barricading
the streets. This conflicts with the runner

IHE TRUTH AT LAST.-The steamer which
lett for Europe Immediately after the late
Battles, 1t is said, carried out glowing ac-
counts OF yankee victories. That object ac-
compllshed, the yankee papers become more
truthful. Not only do they confess defeat in
the late battles, but so depressed are thew
oy late events that they acknowledge their
alscomnture from the beginning of the war
In almost every instance" says the N. Y

VIZ RECEIVE the gratifying assurance tha

WE RECEIVE the gratifying assurance that a Las been determined upon, and that ia few days at farthest 1t will be on the Virginia side of the Potomac, engaged in offensive operations against the rebels. Our correspondent traces this promise of action directly to the late visit sf the President.
 Accounts of the escape ot tue rebel cavalry across the Potomac are fully confirmed. They first attempted to cross at Noands Ford, but met with opposition there from force of our infantry. They then divided and crossed the rlv- CT in small bodies at different points. It is said that General Stuart and General Wade 1amr- ton were both with the expedition, and that the cavalry consisted of attachments from Virginia and South Carolina regiments Our cavalry, under General Pleasanton, was a little too late to intercept the rebels before they crossed the river. The skirmishing appears to have bean without material results.
 The Pennsylvanians were again thrown into a state of perturbation, Monday by the report, received in Harrisburgh, that a rebel force 30,- 900 strong had made their appearance in Frank lin County, and carried of untold numbers of horses, etc. It subsequently, tran.p .pired that the fright was occasionod by number of straggers from Stuart's force, who appeared more anxious to make their escape than to do any damage.
 TIE New London Star says: "A few days since, a person from the country called at one of our banks and pulled package of money out of his pocket amounting to several hundred dollars, remarking that he didn't " know about that sort os stuff.' but he did know about the bills of that bank, and wanted to-" swap' if they were willing! s' Certainly" said the bank officer. The stuff turned out to be Uncle Sam's green demand notes, worth 23 or A per cent. premium. The countryman seized the bills of the bank, and smile of satisfaction came over his face. He evidently thought he had made 8 big thing. .f.t.= svs

NEW MILroRD.-T he following letter has bce E received by the afflicted friends of sergean, DAVID LAKE, of New Milford, late of Co. I, 1lth Regiment, c. V., who died while in the perfor nance of his duty, on the evening of the terri ble battle of Antietam, Sept. l7th, 1862, Its friends of his in New Milford and elsewhere in the County:
 ANTIETAN, Mp, Sept. S0th, 1862. MRS. CHAs. LAKE,
 DEAR MADAM-It is with a sorrowful heart that I write to you of the death of your son David. 1 have delayed writing in order to find out all that I could of his last moments. and also to see that his grave was properly marked, which 1 was unable 10 do at first, on account of illness. David, few days before the battle, was ordered to another Company, which was in need of officers. He went on the field and escaped it's danger until near evening" After he had assisted bravely in getting bis Company in position, and both of the officers above him had been shot down, he was struck by ball through the stomach. He rose up and walked down the hill without help. At the foot some one helped him into the house used as hospital. He was placed upon bed and seemed to suffer but little. He said he thought he should recover. During the night he made no complaint until about midnight when he drew himself up and fell on the floor dead I did not see the body, but those that did, say that there was a very pleasant smile on his countenance, as if he had died very easy, reali- zing that his duty was done and his race well run ,s .-... =.
 We all feel deeply bis loss, for he was one of our best Officers and most social companions. Though all our hardships upon the march, or in the bivouac, he was always cheerful and conten- ted. On the field he was cool and brave. He was often selected to command delicate and dangerous posts. We had the utmost conf- dence in him as one who could be trusted at any time and in any place. After the long and arduous labors attending the reduction of Fort Macon had ceased, where he had made himself conspicuous, for his attention to his duties his steadiness under fire and general efficiency, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant, which rank he held the day of his death. Of his character I can assure you. it was stainless independent and fearless, he was above the vi- ces of the camp.
 While we shall miss his pleasant smile and friendly voice about our camp fires, but we think of his parents and brothers at home who will feel their bereavement more ksenly. We would sfer compilation, but can snly.. say that every
