Army Changes.

The organization of the army, in its higher
grades, has lately undergone important
changes which it is important TO keep in
mind. With regard to the geographical de-
partments, the only change has been the con-
solicitation of those of the Tennessee, Of the
Cumberland and of the Ohio into one grand
division, under the command of Major-Gene-
ral2Grant n WsaFg' sagNgA FaN
IA short time ago the 4th Army corps had
been merged in others, and the corps conn
posing the army Of the Cumberland were
the 18th (Gen. Thomas), the Goth (Gen. Me-
Cook) and thea2lst (Gen. Crittenden). The
last two have now been consolidated, and
have taken the name Of the 4th army corps,
with Gen. Granger for commander.
Gen. Thomas having been promoted to the
command of the Army of the Cumberland,
his place, as commander Of the 18th army
corps, is flled by Gen. Palmer Major Of the
9Th U. S. Cavalry, previously a division com
mander in the same army, who did heroic
service in the battle of Chicamauga. Gen.
Palmer is from New York. The several army
corps, therefore, with their commanders, now
stand as follows: ,is,ss.a .si5 ei..,a,.s

vile? Well. / suppose you have heard Of
Che great raid the rebels have been making
through this part of the country. Well,
the day after the rebels crossed the Ten
nessee river we started in pursuit of them.
We came up with the rear guard at the
foot OF the mountains just at dusk. We
dismounted in line and marched down in
front of the rebels. By this time it was
dark. We lay down in line of battle.
Pretty soon rebel officer called to us and
wanted to know who we were. Major
Tones (our Major) asked who they were
he replied rebels. Jones replied Wiljer's
brigade. and asked them to come over.
Reb said no. You come over here. lie
had hardly got the words ont of his mouth
when Major Jones gave the command to
forward. double quick. and such skedad.
deling Of rebels you never heard OF. We
pursued them and had fight with them
nine miles from McMinnville. and mex,
day passed to their right and reached Muir
fressboro. The rebels came up in sight oil
town and turned to the left, and went on
to Shelbyvilc. We drew rations and
started after them next morning. We
came up with them on Wednesday morn
ing five or six miles from this place. and
had a pretty hard fight with them. Our
company lost two men killed and. nine
wounded. James Hartman was wounded
and has since died., Charley Ramsey re-
ceived a slight flesh womb in tho side.--
he is able to be about. Jesse Rowles re-
ceived, a slight flesh wound in the leg

The Resalt in Marshall county.

The official majority in this county for
the Copperhead ticket may be pnt down at
800, although their candidate for Clerk, has
only 276, hut another Of their candidates
has 295, which shows Union gain since
last year Of 154. There was Union gain
in every township except Bourbon, where
our loss is 80. Had Bourbon even main
tSined its former position our gain would
have been 200. The largest gain is in
this Center J township, anil the next lar
gest in German. Tippeeanoe and Wal
nut not only maintained their former proud
positions but increased their majorities.
The total vote of the county lacks only 4
OF being as large as last year. The Union
vote is 81 more than last year. and the
Copperhead vote sO'lcss. which shows a
Union gain of 16f.
This is highly encouraging. With a
good State, Congressional and county
ticket. beaded by Lincoln and Hamlin for
President and Vice President, we feei con-
fdent we can drive the Coz perheads into
their holes next fall, and thus wipe out the
foul stigma that now rests upon the name
Of our county abroad. Remember we
shall certainly have the aid next year Of
out soldier friends in The 9th, Goth and
29th regiments. if no more. These will
nearly or quite overcome the late Copper
head majority, even if we do not make
any gains on them, which we doubtless
will. If we work together tremendously
bat the war will probably be over before
the NEXT election, or so near over, that our
friends can all come home, in which case
the Cops will be utterly routed. Hold
them to their record and organize in good
time. is all that is necessary to be done.

A CopDerhead Drunk and Br0il.

We are informed that crowd of Cop
perheads on last Tuesday night week COL
lected at one of the saloons in this place.
and after turning the hands OF the clock
around from 10 to IL. in order to enable
the proprietor to evaie the law. commen-
ced drinking lighting whiskey. In a short
time they were all pretty tight. AT first
they wanted to hear speech from one of
their orators. which was ne sooner propo-
sed than 10. Of them seized the "bold
champion of white mems rights" and at
tempted to place him on the counter. In
the attempt they hurt his sore shin, which
made him swearing mad, but his passion
soon passed of, when he launched out in a
TRADE against lincoln and this picket
shooting, throat cutting, niger stealing
abolition war;" In the course of his re-
marks he said if Vallan'ligham was de-
feated in Ohio. every Democrat would have
to carry two revolvers and a bowie knife,
as he did. at the same time drawing his
belt around. displaying the handles of two
revolyers. and then drew ont large Bow
lie knife which he held up for the crowd to
gazs at He even recommended that the
Democrats should wesr such weapons in
front of their persons. so they would be
convenient. This part of the speech and
performance was loudly applauded by the
drunken crowd.
! Sometime after the "bold champion
ceased his eloquent harrsngue. a couple Of
the happy brethren got into fight about
something, and presently two others lock-
ed horns. At this juncture the proprietor
of the saloon attempted to separate the
combatants, when friend of one OF the
beligerents struck hm blow upon the
proboscis which male the claret flow Free
ly. and caused it 10 swell out double its
usual size. The friends of the saloon keep
er upon seeing his precious blood flowing
rallied to his assistance. and soon ousted
the belligerents,-in, doing so. however.
several panes of glass wers broken out OF
the door. Our informant Gid not stay to
see what happened after this.
