Civil War i'm Belmont County
OhiO.-RepubIicans Firing'On"
the National Flag! l.r.

On last Thursday the Democrats OF
Belmont County held their county nom
mating convention in St. Clarisville.
An omnibus full of Democrats, returning
from the convention, on their way to
Morristown, stopped in Loydsville.
Before the passengers had time to get
out, some bully loyal leagures, having
prepared arms, rolled out a small gun
on wheels, and fred it at the omnibus,
over which the National flag was flying.
Fortunately, the uuskilled gunners did
not hit any of the parties in the omni-
bus. The driver got down on the
ground and was Immediately shot thro'
the left arm, the ball passing through
his arm aud two coats, lodged in silk
handkerchief fol led in the breast coat
pocket. The indignant Democrats de-
termined to be avenged, but were, by
the good council Of Mr.. Eaton, persua-
ded to appeal to the law, and save the
county from civil war. Thirteen loyal
leagurers have been arrested and held to
bail Tor arming assembling and actually
violating the peace and dignity Of the
Slate Of Ohio, and firing upon our Ma.

That is Mr.. Brough, that rejects the

There are few movements at present

you know there is no foundation for the
rumor started at Memphis, and tele-
graphed from Cairo, that the National

When an iron-clad can traverse a half
mile of levee and dry lands, it will do
to telegraph such nonsense. The water
is not yet let into the canal, but will be

already broken through the levee at
Grand Lake, ten miles farther up the

Matters at Young's Point are going

The Consumption in Tennessee.

The Nashville Union says:
The Consumption act will very likely
be enforced in this State within the Fed
eral lines, with certain restrictions. We
hear that it is contemplated to raise
regiment of rebel conscripts exclusively
in this city. No loyal man will be al
lowed to join it. The officers, of course,
will be of the true blue, and the privates
will be either forced to fight, or in case
they refuse to do so, they will be held as
prisoners of war, to be exchanged for the
Union conscripts in the rebel army. 1t
strikes US that this outrage of conscript-
ing loyal men to fight under the flag of
treason has gone far enough, and that it
should be checkmated. Let two regi-
ments composed Of the fercest rebels in
the city be drafted Immediately, for duty
in the Federal army, and if they refuse
to coerce, subjugate and demolish thesr
Southern brethren, let them be snapped

Health of Gen. Grants ARMY.

writes to Surgeon General Hammond
concerning the health Of the army before
Vicksburg as follows:
mo army ever went into the field bet

tendance than is furnished to the army
before Vicksburg. There was a def
cheney in volunteer surgeons, but that is
now supplied. The hospital boats are
supplied with their own surgeons, nurses,
and everything for the comfort of the
sick. The purveyor's department not
only has everything furnished the sick,
but more than it ever dreamed of was
furnished to the army, and more than
the great majority of men could have at
home. Then too, there is not that
amount ofsickness that persons would
be led to believe, from the statements in
the public prints. question whether
the health of the ST. Louis force is better
than that of this command. On my ar

Sharp Fight near Milton, Tenn.
MOFgan'S Men Attack a Small Force
of UuiOn Soldiers.
THE GREAT HORSE-THIEF THOR.
OUGHLY WHIPPED.
Especial to Cincinnati Gazette


MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, March 21.-
On Wednesday last, Col A. S. Hall. of
the l05th Ohio, commanding brigade in
Gen. j. j. Reynolds division, went off on
a accommodating expedition toward Cain
vile and Auburn, in Wilson country.
Returning yesterday, he was within
mile or two Of Milton, about ten O clock
AN, when he was suddenly attacked by
John Morgan and rebel Gen. Wheeler,
with seven regiments of cavalry and a
battery or two Of artillery.
Col Halls force consisted of detach-
ments from the l05th Ohio, Col. Tollen;
l0Ist Indiana, Lieut. Col Doan; Sth IL
linois, Lieut.. Col Biggs; 123d Illinois,
Col Monroe; and a section of S. j. Har-
ris' 10th Indiana battery-in all amount
ing to about 400 men.
When Hall found he was about to be
assailed, he Immediately sent into MUIR
freesboro for reintorcements, promising
to hold his ground until they should ar
rive. A part of the rebel cavalry dis
mounted and attacked with impetuosity,
but were repulsed at every point A
section of Capt Harris battery kept up
all the time most effective fire. At
length the rebels, enraged at the execu-
ton it was doing amongst them, deter
mined to charge. Massing two or three
of their regiments, they rushed upon it
with hideous yells. Nothing appeared
to check their course, but the lOIst In
diana were lying concealed behind the
battery and upon either flank. Our
boys waited patiently, but with beating
hearts, until the shouting rebels were
within thirty yards of them, then they
opened a most calling and destructive
fire, which made them recoil in terror
and dismay.
