Sin IL have neglected to say before
in the proper place, that Colonel w. B.
SroKE's returned to this place last Tues
day evening and resumed command If
bis regiment, the LIST Middle Tennessee
Cavalry. II was detachment OF this
re giment, under command Of Lieutenant
OHAsT1ESE, and detachment from The
Beth Ohio Infantry, under command Of
Capt. STANLEY that formed the party,
who captured Col. SMITH, Of -
Tennease e Rebel Cavalry Saturday night
last l made q mistske in former
letter, in stating that WM. A CARUTHEns
was SMITHS adjutant He was only bis

take the oath Of allegiance to govern
ment they had abused so inOontinently.
But they came forward at last, and sub
scribed TO the oath. 1t must have bee
bitter pill, especially if they are not
honest, which charity requires as TO hope
