A SaAME-We are told that some of
our merchants are shaving the county
orders recently issued by the County
Commissioners to the families of sol
diers, and in some case they compel the
wives of soldiers to purchase articles
they do not need by refusing to make
q change where person buys less than
the amount of the order. This is a
burning shame and an outrage, and the
actors should be held up to the public
scorn of the community. Everybody
knows that Vanderburgh county orders
are almost, if not altogether, as good as
greenbacks, and, at the profit at which
merchants sell goods, all can do well BY
taking the orders at par. The man who
would speculate off the necessities OF
soldiers wife is unworthy of a place IL

WASHINGTON, November 24.-The Star
of this afternoon will contain the follow
ing account of a brilliant preliminary
movement by General Thomas, dated
Chattanooga, 23d:
The reconnaissance in force made by
General Thomas has been completed in
the most brilliant and successful man
ner.
The troops employed were the diyis-
ions of Generals Wood and Sheridan,
of the 4th corps, under the immediate
direction of General Alger.
The object of the movement was not
only to ascertain the strength of the en-
envy, but to occupy and hold the knobs
in front of our left, half way between
our lines and Missionary Ridge.
The principal attack was made by Gen.
Hazen's brigade
The entire field was distinctly visible
from and in front of Fort Wood, where
General Hazen's line of battle was
formed.
General Towards corps formed in a
solid column, as a reserve for the at
lacking party.
The field being commanded by the
heavy guns of the fort, only one field
battery was taken into action; this was
| planted on an elevated knoll, in the CEN
tire of which General Sheridan's line of
battle was formed.
Before the order to advance was given,
the troops moved out ofrtheir position
just before l clock P. NJ, and remained
| in line for three-quarters of an hour, in
full view of the enemy. At last, every
thing being ready, Gen. Granger gave
the order to advance, and Gems. Hazen
and Which pushed out simultaneously.
The first shot was fred at 2 2. NJ, and
in FIVE minutes the lines of Gen. Hazen
were holly engaged, while the artillery
of Wood and Gen, Thomas opened upon
the rebel rife pits and the camps behind
the line Of fighting. The practice of our
| gunners was splendid. The camps and
batteries of the enemy were only about
one and three-quarter miles distant, but
our fire elected no reply, and it was soor
evident that the rebels had no heavy ar
tillery in part Of their entertainments
Our troops rapidly advancing, as if or
parade, occupied the knobs, upon which
they were at twenty minutes past
o'clock. Ten minutes later Gen. Which
driving across an open field, carried tn
rifle pits in his front, whose occupant
fed as they fred their last volley, ant
Gen. Sheridan, moving through the for
est that stretched before him, drove il
