LOUISVILLE, Nov. 6, 1863.
MAUcH CHUNK.-Last night Mr.. @. II.
Smith, coal operator at Yorktown, Car
bon county, was murdered in the most
BRUTAL manner, in his house, in the pre-
sence of his family, by gang of irish
outlaws, known as Buckshots. Mr.. Smith
was loyal and highly respected gentle
man, and was suspected Of giving GER
tain information to the Deputy Provost
Marshal by which the latter, with the
military, was enabled to arrest the draf-
ted men. No Union mans life is safe in
Yorktown, Deloraine, Beaver, Meadows,
aud other mines Of the middle coal fields.
Seven or eight murders have been COM
mitted there within the last few weeks.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Cit is not be-
lieved by the principal coal men in this
city that the riot at Mauch Chunk is of
q serious character. -...
Mr.. Smith, who WAS killed, has in
creased the hatred Of the Irish miners
by his opposition to their secret urgani-
cation, which had for its object the ex-
clusion Of all the workmen of other
counties.
A Welshmsn was recently found dead
in the mines, having been shot
1t 10 supposed Smith was shot while
travelling from the mines TO Evansville.
A force Of military has been in that
vicinity some time enforcing the draft
and arresting deserters.
The telegraph line between Mauch
! Chunk and Easton being down, direct
communication cannot be obtained. ,
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 6.-Dispatches from
Jefferson City say that the conservatives
there admit their majority in the home
vote in the State will be too small TO
avail anything, while the radicals are
sanguine of carrying the State by small
majority without the aid of the soldiers
vote.
This is mainly a conjecture, however,
as returns are insufficient TO base def
mite statement upon. Returns from Illi-
nois continue TO show large Union gains
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.--The Tribune TO ,day
publishes the returns from twenty eight
counties, which, compared with the ma
| jorities in the same counties last year,
show Union gain of 1909. 81
MEMPHIS, Nov. 4,--The fight at Col
liersvilIe yesterday lasted three hours,
when the rebels fled, leaving 20 killed
and wounded in our hands. Our loss
was slight. Among the prisoners cap.
tured are Brig. Gen. j. George, of the
Mississippi State Militia, one Captain,
three Lientenants, and one Surgeon. Gen.
George was wounded. Gen. Hatch, who
arrived at Colliersville with three regi-
ments Of cavalry half an hour after the
fight commencek, followed the rebels to
COldwater, where he was skirmishing
with them at the last accounts. Coils.
McOrelis and Misner are endeavoring to
flank them To-day. Col Hatch estim ates
their number at 1900.
i CHATTAEooGA, Nov Gall is quiet
along our lines o-day. The enemy keep
up lazy fire from q 20 FOUNDER gun on
the crest of Lookout Mountain, which
occasionally reaches our lines. They
varied the entertainment this afternoon
by throwiDga number of shells inside
their own lines. This strange conduct
excites considerable comment.
Lebb uAbub bC0CAal Acool CAMPS ulbAp-
peared from the front on our right, and
information leads us to believe that
Bragg's army has been weakened recent
ly Tor some purpose not yet revealed.
Longstreefs headquarters arc estab-
lished on Lookout mountains, which is
held by q strong force.
II estimated that the rebels expend-
ed $4,000 worth of ammunition from
Lookout Mountain, killing one Federal
and wounding another.
Twelve deserters from a Kentucky
rebel regiment came in to-day. They
report their whole regiment ready to fol-
low on the fret opportunity. Since
Bragg was cut off from East Tennessee,
rAtions have been short.
Since the opening of the river route,
we are daily in communication with
Bridgeport, and supplies come up rapid
ly. Our lines of communication are per-
