A Brilliant Affair.

The recent fight with Morgant
command, near Milton, Tennessee,
aeems TO have been a most brilliant
affair throughout. Quite full de-
tails of the affair are given in the
81 ecials to the Cincinnati Gsz lite
and Cincinnati Commercial. Col.
Hall of the 1O5,h Ohio, was in com
mand Of the Federal forces and had
to contend against vastly superio
iorce. The Gazette Of yesterday
morning in its resume ofthe current
news, thus speaks OF the affair:
The great horse thief, John Nor

The Noble County Insurgents.

The armed in6urrecticn in Noble
Couaiy, is fnishei. The citizens
Of miserable corner Of that conn,
~, in the vicinity Of q wretched
hole called Uoskinsville, resisted an
attempt to arrest a deserter. Know
ing that they had committed a crime
which would not be lightly passed
over. some two hundred of them
met. pledged themselves TO resist all
attempts at arr, st,armed themselves
and commenced drilling. Marshal
Sands took two companies o! in
iantry from Camp Chase, and pro
ceeded to the insurrectionary dis.
trict. The rebels were prepared to
receive them in warm style, bot,
while the Government troops were
yet nine miles off, their courage left
them, and they scattered. When
the force took possession OF uoskin.
vile not rebel was visible. The
Marshal obtained the names of six.
ty four Of the most prominent secesh
and up to Wednesday had arrested
thirty.six Of them. The remainder
he is after. So ends this ridiculous
farce.
We are under obligations-the
whole State is-to these IIoskinville
lunatics. Threats have been made
in various parts Of this county, OF
resistance to The conscrirtion-apd
in come localities guns have been
cleaned and powder and lead pui-
chased with which to resist. The
Hoskinville affair will put a stop to
all this folly. These tools of the
willy Vallandigham will SEQ how
hopeless resistance is, and they will
alec discover that there gro pains
and penalties attached 10 treason
which they will not willir gly incur,
The poor Hoskinvillains may put
their troubles to the account OF the
Corperhead leaders, who have, by
their outrageous misrepresentation

flammatory speeches, forced them
into their present attitude taking
good care to keep themselves out OF
harm's way. There is day Of re.
trihution coming for these men.

the boiling waters, as she rose first
OH the crest Of billow, and then
plunged into tho yawning chasm
below. 1t was for a time doubtful
which would conquer, the watery
element or the fraii vessel. When
she had reach cd point three hum

into still wattr. Then the long
pent up feelings Of the spectators
found expression in shouts and
