the combat was hottest, Every division COM
mander hore himself gloriously, and among
them, Generals Turchin, Hazen, and Parker,
especially distinguished themselves. General
Turchin charged through the rebel line with
the bayonct, and being surrounded, forced his
way back again. General Parker, also, had
two horses shot under him on Saturday.
Forming his men in one line, he made them
lie down until the enemy was close upon them
when suddenly they rose and delivered their
fire with such effect that the assaulting col
umn fell back in confusion, leaving the ground
occupied by them in the morning, their spirits
being unbroken. Our losses are not yet esti-
mated. Gen. Thomas telegraphed on Monday
forenoon that the troops are in high spirits
He brought off all his wounded OF the sick
and wounded. Of the sick and wounded al
Crawford Spring, including one main field
hospital, nearly all had been brought away.
The number of prisoners taken by the enc

wounded, of which not more than l,000 coul'
have fallen into their hands.
Of the rebel prisoners, we have already sen
1900 to Nashville. Ofour losses in artillery
most of them were occasloned because tn
horses had all been killed. .sa

HORRIBLE MURDER NEAR EVANSVILLE,
qNn.-An Evansville linda dispatch to the
Cincinnati Gazette give the following particu-
lars of a recent diabolical murder near that
Mace; Two men, dressed as soldiers, but
supposed to have been disguised, entered the
house of a German named Herke and deman-
ded money of four children who had been
left at home, their mother being in this city
at the time with marketing, and their father
some distance from the house cutting to-
bacco pole. The murderers beat the children
with clubs, leaving them all, as they suppos-
ed, dead. They then proceeded to the
father, whom they struck with the axe he was
using, nearly severing his head from his
shoulders, killing him instantly The wlfe
of Herke arrived at home at IL o'clock, where
she found her dead husband and four children
weltering in their blood. The screams OF the
moor frantic wife and mother aroused thu
neighbors, who, upon entering the house
found two of the children still living, ON
being able tospeak few words. They states
that the villains were dressed in soldiers
Clothes and that they demanded money
At last accounts but one of the four childre
was expected to recover, two having died
and no hopes for the other living but for
few hours. Two Indiana soldiers, name
Graw and Roberts, have been arrested o
suspicion. There is, however, but little ev
dence against them.

BorSTY MoNEY.-The finance COM
mittec are meeting with tolerable success in
raising funds to promote enlistments. We
would again urge the Importance Of subscrib-
ing literally and cheerfully. Every man who
is liable to draft, should subscribe something
Every man Who IS exempt from draft may
well afford to subscribe. Several wealthy
citizens have as yet subscribed nothing, but
seem willing to bag the benefits Of the war
Every rich man who allows the burden of
filing up the quota to fall on the laboring
and business men of feeble and moderate
means, will write his own epitaph; and b.
