The Herald's correspondent gives the follow
ing details Of the late battle at Wsuhatchie
The attack was 4 thorough surprise move
ment, and was met by only > very small portion
Of Gesry's command. This had to sustain a
second Independent fight for nearly two hours
against heavy odds, without fOrtIhcations of any
kind. Besides, we knew little Of the Topography
Of ground in the immediate neighbOrhood, as
we mad but arrived that night. We had not even
received orders to be under arms at daylight,
although General HooEeI's reinforcemeuts, with
others, were expected to press forward and
make junction with Geary, at the earliest pos
sible moment. Still such rSinfOrcements did
not participate in Gearys fight.
Had the Teinforcenen arrived in time, and
still more particularly, had HoOker's orders
been literally and promptly Obeyed, il Is not at
all improbable that we would have captured q
goodly portion Of one whole robel brigade
Three times the enemy made an attack in
boldly charging on Geary's centre 10 try and
capture his artillery, and each time they were

loss.

We took about &c wounded. On the field in front
Of our line were found 80 wounded rebels. No
small number Of rebel dead lay still in sight, and
are scattered in the woods on the right and Left
We took prisoners from the Ist, ID, Sd, 4th, 9th,
9th, and 18th South Carolina regiments, the Pal
mettO SharpshOOters and Hampton's Legion,
all these were OfJenkins Division. Captain John
q. Bowen, Lieutenant W. F. Norwood and Lieu
tenant F. d. MolineauX were taken with parts OF
their commands. We have taken quite num-
ber Of rebel nOn-cOmmssioned officers. On our
side the 18th New York Volunteers, Colonel
Ireland, l0gth Pennsylvania Volunteers, under
command of Captain Climber, and tho IIIth
Pennsylvania Volunteers, under Lieutenant
Colonel Walker, were in line on the trent and
center and did the hardest fighting, and were
the regiments that repulsed the enemy's attack
both on our line and the Urtllery. The 18th and
10th New York Volunteer Regiments were on
the extreme right OF the line and had some
lighting but no serious engagement. The 2yJh
Pennsylvania, Colonel Pickards, was doing the
picket duty Of the entire command, and in the
first OF the attack met with some slight loss.
Some Of our pickets fell in with our regiments

to fight there.

TRIAL FoR 0BsTRUCrIEG THE C. c. & C.
RAnRoAD.-A very interesting and impOr-
tant trial has just been concluded before
Judge Burke, in the Lorain County Common
Pleas Court. John Peasely was indicted for
placing two t" rails on the track of the
Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati Railroad,
about one mile this sido of Lagrange, on the
evening of the Goth of July last. The even
ing Express train from Columbus came in
contact with these rails, when in full motion,
and carried them, sliding over the track, over
forty rods, whom one end of them striking
cattle guard, the cars were thrown of the
track. 1t so happened that this part of the
track had just been repaired, and its smooth,
even surface thus permitted the cars to glide
over them SO marvelously otherwise no
mortal could imagine the awful consequences
of the hellish act of putting them on the
track.
The afternoon had been very rainy, and
the evening dark. The collision took place
about half-psst eight O'Clock. Mr.. Taylor,
who had charge of that section of the track,
was notified, and at once repaired to the
place. He found that the bars which lay by
the track had been placed across it, by car
rying one end Of each around and across it,
This was apparent by the marks of the bars
on the moist earth, and by accompanying
foot prints.
The great contest was about these prints,
which were so sOpecuIiar as to furnish conclusive
proof, as was claimed.
The defendant was arreFted the second
day after the collision, in his field near the
scene It was claimed that the boots
which made tho tracks were found on hiI
feet, and that between that time and his ex-
animation he changed tho bottom Of one Of
them. 1t also appeared tha. he had had
couple of colts killed by the train, Some two
months before and had made some threats.
The matter in regard to the colts rcmAined
unsettled at the time of the collision.
The defendant, who resided within a half
mile Of the place Of collision, proved by his
two grown up daughters, that he was absO-
lutsly at homo during the time at which the
distractions we're placed on tho road. He
also produced ample testimony of good char
acter. The State suggested several matters
as tending to show that the daughters had
substituted the occurrences Of another even
ing, for the evening of the accident.
Mr.. MoSWeeny was principal counsel for
the defence; and the Hon. A G. Riddle, was
associated with the Prosecuting Attorney for
the State. Very much interest was taken in
the trial, and particularly in the arguments Of
these gentlemen. The Jury were unable to
| agree, standing IL for conviction. It was
said that they divided in this way soon after
| they retired. The case is one in which the
public are unusually interested, and will be
triedagain at the next term.

THE PINE BLUFF FIGHT.

ST. LOUIS, November 7.
General Walbridge, Of New York, has just ar
rived from an extended trip in Southeast MIS-
souri, reports that part OF the State free from or
ganzed bodies of rebel troops, but bushwhackers
continue to commit depredations there.
The Democrats Little Rock correspondent
gives the particulars Of the recent fight at Pine
Bluff, Arkansas. The attack was made on the
18th ultimo, by COO rebel cavalry under Marina
duke and CObbit. The garrison consisted Of
about 100 infantry nnder Colonel Clayton, and
we're fortified in the Court House Square by bar
reading the streets leading thereto with cotton
bales. The rebels approached from three diree-
tons, and after repeated charges, during which
Cayton's artillery played havoc in their ranks,
they were repulsed and driven from town, leav-
ing 800 killed and wounded in our hands. Our
loss was forty killed and thirty three wounded.

A soow AGROUND IN our HAABoA.-Ths
ScoW Kelly, Captain George Butiin, with a
load of lumber from saginsw, ran aground
as she was coming into our hsrbor yesterday
morning, about one o'clock. She had left
the Islands on the previous day, and, though
wind and waves were high, she made the
trip to this place in safety, and was coming
into our harbor in good style, when, just as
she arrived at the entrance to the harbor,
her wheel. chain parted and she became per-
fectly unmanageable: She broached to,
striking on the lighthouse pier with terrific
violence. The force of the waves drove her
under the pier, as it were, breaking her jib-
boom and staving in her sides. Each success
sivs wave drove her further along the pier,
carrying its sides away for some thirty feet.
As the pier was piled with coal, vast amount
of it was carried of Into the Water,-sOme
estimating that two hundred tons were lost
in this manner. About half the deck load Of
lumber on the Kelly was also washed over
board and broken almost into splinters among
the spiles of the dock. Much of this was
collected and carried of by those living near,
on River street. The crew of the vessel,
seven men, all told, escaped by crawling
along the main boom of the vessel to the
pier.
The scow still lies at the dock, water-lOg-
ged and aground, as the sea was too high all
day yesterday to allow Of tugs going ont to
take her of. She will probably be taken of
tomorrow. 1t ia feared that she will provo
total loss. She was owned by her Captain
and by Messrs. Lester and Rust, of Newport,
and was insured for about half her value, in
Detroit.
We Learn the above facts from the mate Of
the vessel, Mr.. Miner.

der her. Her husband was killed in that
battle. At Stone River she was wounded
three times, once in the wrist aud twice in
