Msj. Patterson, who was in command of
that portion of the 4th Tenn. Inf, who
were taken at McMinnville by Wheeler's
force, has related to US the history of
the affair, which is substantially as fol :
lows: He had with him seven compa-
mics, mostly fragments. On the I'd inst,
he sent out scouts, who returned and re-
ported no enemy. On the next day, he
sent Lieutenant Farnsworth with twenty
scouts, who were cut oil. He then sent
out Lieutenant Allen who passed our
piokets quarter of mile and returned,
reporting the rebels in force. Major
Patterson drew up his command, 4O4 in
all, and 80 convalescents from the hos
pitAl. Skirnishing followed for an hour
and quarter, during which the rebels
were repulsed in three charges. Wheeler
then sent in flag of truce with verbal
demand for a surrender, which Major
Patterson refused, saying he would not
surrender until compelled 10 do so. In
half an hour Col. Hodge of the Ken
lucky brigade brought demand for sur
render in writing.
Major Patterson, after consulting with
his officers, deeming il useless 10 contend
against an enemy so greatly superior in
numbers, surrendered. Wheeler had four
divisions of cavalry, artillery, and ten
brigAdes, and said he had 10000 men.
Our loss was seven killed aud thirty. one
wounded and missing, The rebels ad-
init q loss of twenty three killed and
twice as many wounded. After the sur
render, Maj PAtterson's trunk was broke
open and $50 stolen out of il, while his
men were generally robbed of their
money, watches, knives, aud other valu-
Ablss. The prisoners were all paroled.
While two Of them were going on the
Carthage road Lthey were halted by a
Doctor FAin, who drew his pistol on
them, and cooking it, ordered one of them
to pull of his boots and give them up
Protestation and pleas of sore feet and a
long journey were Of no avail, and the
valiant highway robber rode off with the
boots which he had taken from de-
fenceless paroled prisoner.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia letter from
the headquarters of the Army of the Po-
tomAc says that for two or three days
past the enemy has been concentrating \
heavy force around Madison Court house,
and on Friday night and Saturday morn
ing they moved out of town in a north
wardly direction. A division of infant
ny, large body of cavalry, and consid-
cradle artillery, were occasionally seen
by our signal men through the openings
in the forest, which generally concealed
the road. The object of the movement
could not at that time be determined.
Yesterday evening reports from the
front represented that early in the morn :
ing one of Kilpatrick's cavalry brigades,
consisting Of the 9th Michigan, 9th New
York, 9TH Pennsylvania, and another reg
iment, attempted a reconnaissance on the
south side Of Robertson river, where
they were met by large body OF Stu
arts rebel cavalry. A fight ensued, con.
tinuing an hour, when our troops fell
back upon the infantry reserves After
another severe contest the infantry were
compelled TO give way, and considera-
BILE number captured. A detachment Of
our cavalry then dashed upon the enemy,
retaking all, with the exception Of fifteen

Major Gen. GEo. Il. THOMAS, to whose
skill GOODNESS, and bravery we are main :
ly indebted for the salvation Of the Army
OF the Cumberland, is native Of Vir-
ginia lie was in the regular army for
twelve years without being absent a day
from his post just before the breaking
out Of the war he obtained twelve months
leave of absence, but before the expira-
ton of three months Of the time Fort
Sumter was fred upon, when he returned
to duty, where he has been ever since,
without being absent single day. The
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
speaks of him as our "greAt leader" He
is one of the best officers and best men
in the army, and all honor is due to him
for his great services in the recent battles.
Without the aid, and in spite Of army cor
respondents, he has built up solid re-
putalion in the army.--Nationat fntelE
genoer
The whole country will cordially en-
dorse this tribute TO an officer, whose
solid merit, and actual achievements have
placed him among the ablest and most
efficient Generals. His course has been
steadily onward from the day he enter
ed the military profession he has been
fortunate as well as able, for not one
blundcr mars the splendor Of his reputa-
ton. This is n day when the country
needs her best military men in the most
responsible positions, and there is
now vacant niche among our
Msjor Generals of the Regular Army,
which Gen. Thomas ought to ill. The
removal of Major General Wool has left
this vacancy, and who so worthy to gil
the place az the subject Of this para
graph, the Hero of Mill Springs, the
man who did so nobly at Stone River and
Chickamauga. We do not believe that
one dissenting voice would be heard any
where. Civilians, officers and soldiers
alike would enthusiastically applaud the
promotion of him whose fame will be as
enduring as our country's history His
patient and perseyering toll, il heroic
self. forgetfulness and magnanimity, his
pre- eminent military abilities and ac-
quirements, and his valor and presence of
mind upon the battlefield, all point out
Gen. Thomas as man worthy TO be pro-
NOTED to the rank of Major General in
the United States Regular Army.
An officer in the Regular Army and an
old acquaintance of Gen. Thomas, says
be was in the army for eighteen gears
without being absent from his post, in
stead Of t,oel0e, as the Intelligencer says.
lie also tells very characteristic anec-
dote, illustrative of his singular devo-
ton to duty. While our army was lying
at MurfreesbOro, Gen. Thomas was asked
when he intended to visit Nashville,
thirty miles distant. "Why," replied he,
II have been trying for some time to End
an excuse to go up there, but cannot do ii.
! am not sick, have duties here, and re-
ally don't know what excuse could offer
for going away"

THE EyENYs POSITION on LOOKOUT NOUN
TAIN OF LITTLE VALUE no THEN.
The enemy at one time were IN posses
sion of the summit Of Lookout Noun

were enabled to reach Chattanooga.
This was twenty FOUNDER Parrot ride.
But after using IL short time this gun
burst, and since that time the enemy
have been silent, at least from the sum

On this side of the water, and opposite
TO Point Lookout, there is a mountain
known as Stringer's Point. From the
summit Of this General Negley, in 1862,
and General Wsggoner, 10 August last
bombarded Chattanooga. Upon this
same ridge General Rosecrans has placed
battery which commands the top Of
Point Lookout, and as soon as the rebels
attempt TO locate battery there they
will End themselves interrupted.
NO DANGER OF THE REBELS SERIOUSLY IN

CATIONS.
General Johnston expresses the belief
that General RosecrAns can hold his
position for long time 10 come. The
enemy will find II matter of great
difficulty to interrupt communications
between Nashville and Chattanooga,
though his cavalry and psrtizan friends
may succeed in destroying for a time the
Louisville and Nashville line. But this
can make but little difference to General
Rosecrans; in Nashville is well filed
with Army supplies. The strongly for
titled positions commanding the APP
prOaches to the vulnerable points on the
Nashville and Chattanooga road will
protect the communications between
these two points.
RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS IN PROGRESS.
The government is engaged At present
with large force in widening the guage
of the railroad from this place to Licking
ton, so that connection may be formed
between the Louisville and Nashville and
the East Tennessee military road. The
old guage was four feet eight inches. 1t
is being enlarged TO five feet. By this
arrangement the cars can run without
change from Covington Opposite Oincin-
nati) to Bridgeport, Alabama. The al
teration Of the guage Of this road will
make all the roads in the Southwest of
the same width.

10th ultimO, says:
Upward of one hundred persons from
the neighborhood of Kilrush, left Lime
rick by the early train on Wednesday
morning, for America. 1t is matter of
surprise to many, how such numbers of
fine, athletic young men are daily taking
their departure to the United States from
the county of Glare; in fact we have
noticed, in many parts of that county,
that the corn has been reaped and other
agricultural operations performed by
women.

Gen. Wheeler's cavalry expedition has
proved almost as. unfortunate as that of
his noted CO. laborer John Morgan. We
learn that after the fight at Pennington
in which he lost 448 men, he was holly
pressed by Gen. Crook, and, as il APP
pears, running Eight was kept up, du-
ring which be lost q whole regiment. At
the last account be was endeayOring to
reach tho Tennessee, by way of Hunts
vile. The river had been rising rapidly,
and il was hoped that he would be una
BILE to find fordAble point. If Whee-
leF's force can be cut off, one Of the most
serious hindrGnoes to the movements of
Gen. Rosecrans' army will been removed.
P.S-A gentleman who left Pulaski
on Saturday, states that Wheeler passed
through that place at2 o'clock, P. M, and
Wilder followed two hours afterwards.

Stearns was elected President of the SEN
ate, ard William +. Chandler, of Concord,
Speaker of the House. Gov. Gilmore was
elected by the following vote: Gilmore, | 92,
Eastman, 1873, ard for Hartman. Gov.
Gilmore's IL essage is mainly confined to To-
cal subjects, and shows that the material
progress of the State is favorable. The
troops furnished for the war number $4,000
men, being an excess over The quota called
for of nearly 700. conclusion, Gov. Gil
more refers to the Rebellion, and says: ain
such contest as that in which we are now
involved, am unable to discriminate be-
tween the support of the Government and
the support of the National Administration.
Ii is no time now to speculate upon the
causes of the Rebellion. The only facts
which we need are that it exists, and that
it is our duty to put it down. 1t was re-
mark made to me by former Governor of
this State, the late venerable Isaac Hill, in

HE LAST PARIS SCANDAL.-Thcc corr
respondent Of an English journal describes
scandalous scene which recently transpir-
ed during ball at the Tuileries. A Young
noblemao, the Emperor's leader of the CO.
tillon, selected young lady who had been
the leading star of the ball, to share with
him the honors of his sovereignty, to the
great modification and vexation of another
lady present, who in her day had been a
beauty, had led the cotillon, and been pro-
claimed the star of fashion. II so happen
ed that the seat occupied by this woman
was absolutely necessary for the figure
ABBOTT to be danced, and her successful rival
requested permission to occupy it. A curt
refusal was the reply vouchsafed. Then
we must lessen the circle" returned Mad
emoiselle calmly, and her partner procuring
chair placed it directly before the irate
female, who co.ored with rage and indigna-
ton, and the moment that Mademoisel!e
had seated herself began kicking her in the
Sims and pushing the chair with her knees,
and, although requested TO desist, only re-
peated the offensive treatment with more
energy The insulted belle appealed to
Mile. Murat, who volunteered to exchange
places, and was proceeding to occupy the
obnoxious chair, when it was kicked over
the floor. right into the middle of the cotil-
lon! Of course the dance ceased at once,
the Empress was informed of the circum-
stances, the offenders husband was sent for.
and the irritated ex-beauty was escorted
from the hall by her liege lord, bestowins
as she went most scornful glance upon her
triumphant rival. The next day the Of
Tending lady received her disinvttation for
the Tuilleries in due form; and, as it is the
first time such a ceremony has been gone
through, Of course it has created no small
sensation.
