Of Pennsylvania. No fearsare entertained
for the safety of either Pittsburg or Wheel

As soon as 1t became certain that Morgan s
and Forests rebel cavalry were engaged in
raids north and west, and that Bragg was
mainly deprived of cavalry, Gen. Rosenerans
determined to make demonstration against
Murfreesboro, in the hope of possessing him
self of sufficient country to feed his army while
the communication was interrupted.

freesboro had not been fortified as reported
General Rosenerans, on Christmas day, took
the field, and on Friday his whole army was
put in motion. Crittenden's and McCook's
corps moved on Murfreesboro, and Thomas, on
the Nolinsville road, moved rapidly and camp
ed at night at Iavcrgne. During the whole
march the rebels in front kept up skirmishing
with our forces but the movement was not
seriously opposed by any pain body of the

This morning the skirmishing became more
serious. We have advanced to- within eight

CaI,ant ac,ion OF Federal Cavniry.

A Suffolk letter of the Sd inst, to the Her
all states that Col. Spear, with three hundred
cavalry, was sent to Carville, where, on Tues
day morning, he was attacked by T0orebels,
Col Spears men were at breakfast, but at the
first signal of danger the 800 men were in sad
die. and led by their gallant colonel, dashed
out Of the camp to meet the foe. The rebel
force was not prepared for the fierce charge of
the 1th Pennsylvania cavalry, and gave way
like a fock of sheep and sought safety in
flight. "A more complete route OF an assailing
force has not probably taken place since the
commencement Of the war. The enemys
force was estimated at some 700 strong, and
had attached to it a section of the famous
rocket battery. In the fearful onslaught of
our forces, the rebels became panic stricken,
and had not time TO save their effective means
of defence, the Rocket pieces, which fell into
our hands almost without struggle, with the
horses, ammunition, accoutrements and every
thing necessary to their service.
