wonders in reclaiming to their allegiance
to the Government sympathizers with reb-
els in that department. Its operation in

hitherto noted Oppositionists to the Govern

of allegiance. On Monday the number Of
applicants for certificates of loyalty was SC
great they could hardly be accommodated
The probabilities decidedly are that Con-
gress will repeal the three hundred dollar
clause in the enrolment act. The Military
committee of the Senate is believed to be in
favor of doing SO, and it is not unlikely
they will attach section to that effect to
the amendatory bill introduced by Senator
Wilson.

after Forest, who has taken advantage of
the absence of Sherman's corps.
The Wing also says: Although there ap-
pears to be no doubt of the movements Of
Averill from the Kanawha in the direction
of East Tennessee and Virginia, the War
Department has received no additional in
telligence from that quarter. The enemy's
movements, so far as known, seem to indi-
cate raid on the railroad, or probably upon
the counties Of Bolletour, Rockbridge and

Battle I'm Tennessee..-Our Forces
/; Driven Rack.

RUTLEDGE Tenn, Dec. 14.-Between
and o'clock this p. M. the forces of Long
street turned upon and attacked our pursu-
ing column of cavalry under Gen. Shackle-
ford. IA line of battle was formed at Bear
Station on the Cumberland Gap and Norris
town road and fight ensued, which con-
tinued until nightfall, when the rebels sue
ceeded in driving us about half mile
Colonels Woolford, Graham, Foster and
others were engaged. The musketry fire
was very heavy. Our loss, as far as 1 can
ascertain, is about seventy-five. We have
taken some prisoners belonging to the rebel
Gen. Grocie's brigade.
The whole movement was made with a
well contrived plan to cut off and capture
Gen. Shackleford and his command. A
heavy force of rebel cavalry moved down
the left bank of the Holston river with the
intention of crossing at Kelly's ford and
coming in his rear. This portion of the
programme was checked by Gen. Ferrero,
who sent the brigade of Gen. Humphrey to
hold the ford. The rebels fired across the
river with artillery upon the brigade, but
with little effect.
We expect considerable fight to-mor-
row.
