The Medina MURDER CAsE.-Strseter the
murderer Of the McOoys, ia Medina last sum-
mer, whose conviction we noticed a day or
two ago, conducted himself during the trial
says the Elyria Democrat, with degree of in-
difference that caused general remark but
when his Honor, Jud ge Burk, in pronouncing
the terrible sentences Of the law, referred to
the murder Of the innocent, sleeping boy, the
prisoner sank upon the floor in a swoon. He
is about twsuty-six years of age, small in stat.
urs, and quite foppisb in appearance. He is
undoubtedly the most dangerous criminal of
his years in the country, and if this was his
first murder, he has scheoled himself to COM
NIT the terrible deed with remarkable fa-
eility.

An Incident ofthe Capture Of Lookout Mountain

Au 4Hc1oeAlL 04 IA5 SapIuIo u LOOkoub AOuUta1u'
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
mentions the following incident of theTeapture
of Lookout Mountain:
II was near sundown wheh General I. J..
Wood, whose conduct all through the three
days battle marked him as one of the ablest
leaders of the national armies, rode along the
lines of his superb division. Loud shouts of
enthusiasm everywhere greeted his appearance,
until at last his feelings, no longer sontrolla-
able, broke out in speech:
Brave men :" said he, 'you were ordered to
90 forward and take the rebel rihe-pits at the
foot of these hills; you did so, and then, by the
Eternal without orders, you pushed forward
and took all the enemys works on top! Here
is fine chance for having you all court-mar
tailed and l myself will appear as the prin-
cipal witness against you. unless you promise
me one thing"
"What is it what is it ?" laughingly inquir-
ed his men.
alt is" resumed the General, "that as you
are now in possession of the works, you will
continue against all opposition of Bragg, John
son, JEFF. Davis and the devil steadlastly to
hold them !"
At the conclusion of this speech, the enthu-
siasm of the soldiers knew no bounds. They
left the ranks and crowded aroud their Gener-
al. "We promise we promise!" they cried.
And amid such exclamations as, +Of course
we'll hold them Y Let any one try to take'
them from US :" ''BuIly for you " 'Three cheers
for old Wood" the gallant officer rode off the
field.

not groRl nor grumbie. I was curious
to see whether the pluck and good nature we're
washed out of then, and so 1 made my way

say occupied, at FIVE in the morning, to see
what water had done with them. Nothing

ANOTHER RECANTATIoN.-The Quincy H.,
Herald, loHg the leading Democrat journal of
the State, and of late vigorous defender of
the peace policy, retracts its errors and comes
squarely out for the war. In an editorial
headed :. Our Duty" it acknowledges that the
news of the late elections shows that the deter
mination is to fight and fight to a conclusion.
From such decision it says, there can be
no appeal, and while a Democrat, we shall
ever continue to hold the mirror of the con-
slitution to the gaze of our rulers, we for one
are not disposed 10 close our ears to the de-
cision, nor refuse to recognize and submit to
it in the spirit in which ii has been made
The fiat having thus gone forth, as one of the
people aud faithful and patriotic journalist
we accept it as our daty to make editorial
effort to give it practical effect" 1t then
urges in the warmest tones a quick and gener-
al response to the Presidents call for 100000
men, assuring volunteers that the entire body
of their brethren, without distinction of par
ty, will shout God speed" to their sword,
and honor to the victorious arms.

Exciting News From Desperate
Fighting and Splendid Victory.
. NoxvIrLE. NoHember

KNoxvILLE, November 29.
The great rebel blow, anxiously anticipa-
| ted so long, was struck this morning.
Re-enforced by the troops Of Sam. Jones,
jackson and Williams, General Longstreet
sought to annihilate the Army Of the Ohio by
a single blow; for which purpose he selected
seven picked regiments. Skirmishing commen-
'cee last night at ten, and continued sharply
until near daylight on our left front, before
Fort Saunders, commanded by General Fer
rer, and defended by the 18th New York, Ben
jamin's Sd o, S. artillery, and Buckley Rhode
island battery. Our pickets were driven in,
and the enemy had possessed themselves Of
some rihe-pits, but the Massachusetts, boys
drove them back. Suddenly the rebel storm
ing party, led by the 18th and 17th Georgia
and 18th Mississippi. under cover of our own
retreating men, came to the assault, and ap-
preached within one hundred yards Of he fort
unharmed. Then ezsued a scene Of desperate
daring, stubborn resistance, death, carnage
and horror, scarcely equaled during the war.
Thes men, veterans of the Potomac and the
flower Of LOngstreet's army, confident Of the
promised victory, plunged into hailing hell
Of lead Wires had been stretched from stump
to stump, in front of the works, by Capt Poe.
Over these the advancing enemy fell in eonfu-
sed heaps with the dead and dying around
them. Our artillerymen hurled shell by hand
forward upon the fallen and doomed rebels.
Hot and hotter came the strom Of shells
The ground over which they passed was ear
peted with the slain. The ditch was filed
with the dead, wounded and dying. Not one
on their side faltered; not a score of the gal
liant stOrmers escaped. The sun rising looked
down through the cold mist and chill of that
November morning, upon the remains of an
army. One Thousand killed and wounded and
prisoners, was the cost of the assault of Fort
Saunders. NobIy has it sustained the repu-
tation of its name sake, learfully revenged his
fall.
Among the killed was Col Girarde, of the |
18th Mississippi, and Lieutenant Colonel
O'Brien, the brother of Mrs. Brownlow, is a
prisoner General Burnsides offered the reb- |
els an armisIice from ten O'Clock in the morn |
till five o'clock in the afternoon to remove their
wounded and bury their dead. 1t was accep-
ted. The rebel officers and prisoners express
at the strength of cur works and |
The valor Of cur men.
Our loss will not reach 80, all told. Over
80 of these consists of members of the 27tb
Kentucky, who we're captured on the south
side OF the river.
Whether Longstreet is satisfied with the i'm
ability of Knoxville We know not
What his next movement will be may be pre-
licted with confidence. Besides 250 prison
srs, we have three battle flags, one of which
was planted on our works at one time.

From KnoxviIe-Longstreet Retreating toward
Virginia.

KNoxv11LE, Dee. "a special to the
Tribune says: The siege of Knoxville is
raised, and Longstreet and his army are in
full retreat toward Virginia.
1t virtually terminated yesterday when, at
an early hour, the advance guard of our rein
forcements, under General Sh erman, arrived
The enemy, during the past few days, have
kept up an active show an intention to pro-
long the siege or renew the assault until
early this morning, when a reconnaissance,
sent uut by General Ferres, found their works
empty.
A few deserters were brought in, who re-
port that the main body moved of after dark
last night, leaving the rear guards and pickets
in their rife pits to fall back at A. NJ, and
Join the remainder, who, they were told,
would form in line OF battle few miles east
of the city. This ruse was adopted to pre-
vent the premature abandonment of their pick
ct line.
