GeneSnI Roseeraus in CIeveleHd-His r.
riyq and RecePtiOn-TAe Levee Last
The gallant and noble General, once com
mander of the Army of the Cumberland,
the hero of West Virginia and Stone River,
and the still popular and beloved soldier Of
Ohio, General ROsecrans, arrived in town
yesterday afternoon on the Columbus train.
His arrival had been anticipated and he was
greeted at the depot by committee Of Glove
land gentlemen, consisting of F. A. Warner
Colonel WbittIessy, John W. Allen, J. W
Fitch, R. K. WlnsIOW, T. P. Han
dy, and Mr.. Barnett, the fathel
of Colonel Barnett, who, as chic

General Rosecrans in the Cumberland Army
The General was escorted, by the Committee
to the Angler House, carriage splendidly
decorated withe the American colOrs and
drawn by four horses similarly oaparisOned
having been provided for his usO. The Gen.
eraI appears in fine health and spirits.
The news of his arrival spread rapidly
among our citizens and to grauty the unlVer'
sal desire among them to see him and welcome
him to our Forest City, lcvee was held las
evening, between the hours of seven and nine
in the psrlOr of the Angler. Itwas thrOnget
by the best of our citizens, and the scene

FROM WASHINGTON

NAsHISGToN, Nov. IL.
On Sunday morning the cavalry division
Of General Fitzpatrick, under command OF
General Busted, made g reconuoissnce
along the Rapidsn to Rsccoon Ford. 10
ascertain the truth or falsity Of the report
that the rebels were falling back on Cor
louisville. When our cavalry approached
they were met by a few guns from the
rebel entrenchments, but our guns soon
silenced them. A small number OF rebel
sharpshooters were seen in the lower rife
pits, and soon afterWard q small body
was discovered.
The river was too much swollen by ths
storm OF Saturday night to justify cross
ing, and so the cavalry returned.
The report on Thursday that q rebel
force had crossed the Rappahsnnoek and
attacked Kilpatriek's forces is untrue.
Several English officers are visiting at
General Meades headquarters.
Information, through reliable channel.
from Washington, is to the effect that two
or the divisions Of General Hills rebel
corps have left the Rapidan and gone
southwark, but whether to Tennessee or
Fredericksburg, or to operate on the left
flank Of the Army Of the Potomac, does
not yet appear. r
In the United States District Court for
tbe Eastern District Of Virgins, sitting
at Alexandria, Judge Underwood this
morning delivered an opinion in the casa
Of the United States Vs. Hugh Latham,
under the confscatiOn act in which he
eonfscstes the real estate Of the defend
ant in fee simple. His decision gives az
entirely different construction Of the Ia "
as rendered by other courts. Among the
treaties to come before the Senate for rat
ifeation, is one made last summer BY the
Commissioner Of Indian affairs with the
Chief Of the Creeks, by which those who
Joined the rebels are permitted to return
to their allegiance, but are to be ever dis.
qualified from holding offices Of honor
emolument or trust among the Indians
and the treaty engages them to abolish
slavery as the Cherokees have done al
ready, and to cOlonizs freedmen on the
land belonging to the Creeks.

gine House on Huntington street. The meet

of enlistments in the grand army, SO thatthe
glorious Fourth as in 1862, might again be

CoRREcrIoE.-In our yesterdays edition
Of the LEADER We remarked on the a0ssncs
of the gas light on Euclid street during the
darkness of the ptsviOus evenings. Wohave
since been informed that the lighting Of the
gas in the city is governed by timetable,
which is agreed on between the Gas Com
pany and the City Council, and that, though
the darkness which reigned supreme in the
early evening of the nights In question was
unfortunate, it was not the fault of the COM
pany, who were Cup to time" in their ar
rangsments for lighting.

COURT OF COMMON Pleas.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

CIVIL BRAKcH.-BEEoRE JuDGE FooTE.-A
verdirt was given, in the case Of Egnsr v'.
Rider ct al, for the plaintiff, for the sum of
FIVE cents damages. As this is q replsvin
suit, and the plaintiff has the property al
ready in his possession, the amount of dam
ages is immaterial, and the substantial vic
tory is for the plaintiff. The case of ThOs.
Mclean %. John Kennedy, an aOti6n for
SANDER, is now on trial. The damages
claimed are $1,000. BaekuS & Noble appear
for the plaintiff; Messrs. Slsde Il Davidson
for the defendant.
CIVIL BRAEoH.-BEFoRE JUDGE BoLToS.-
In case of Harsh Us. Mayer, went to the jury
yesterday, and the jury had not returned its
verdict at the time Of the adjournment of
Court.
LATER-We have learned since writing the
above, that the jury returned a verdict for
the plaintiff for the sum of 81, 900 damages.
This verdict is unprecedented in the history
Of Cuyahoga Common Pleas, it being rare
that verdict for damages is ever obtained
in this county on a suit for slandOr or mali
cious prosecution. Mr.. sWeeny and J. @.
GrAnnis prosecuted the case, though Mr..
Grannis made the only plea for the plaintiff.
CRIMINAL BRANCH. - BEFORE JUDGE Cor
FINBEERT.-The case Of the State of Ohio vI.
LOuis French, who was on trial for murder,
went t6sthe jury about noon, and they re-
turned a verdict of aequittal after having
been out about fifteen minutes.
The petition Of Elizabeth StOIler, for d.
vOree from her husband, Lewis StOller, fsr
reason of gross neglect of duty and extreme
cruelty, was heard and taken into considera-
ton.
The case Of the State of Ohio o.. James
Menk and William Smith, for horse stealing,
was next taken up. B. White, Esq, appeared
for the State, and Mossrs. Kelly and Craig
for the defendants. As one of the accused
William Smith, escaped in therecent jail-ds'
livery and has not since been recaptursd, he
was not tried. Menk was found guilty.
