the gunboas ffty-fve men and horses of
the Flrat Western Tennessee cavalry, un-
der the command Of Col William X.

east side Of the river. Sending the gun

below, Col. Brcckinridge dashed across
the country to Linden, and surprised a
rebel force of more than twice his num-
Der, capturing Lieutenant Colonel Frier-
son, one Captain, one Surgeon, four Lieu
tenants, thirty rebel soldiers, ten con-
scripts, fifty army wagons, arms, &c.
The Courthouse, which was the rebel
depot, was burned, with a quantity of
army supplies. The enemy lost three
killed. We lost no men, and had one
horse killed.
"Colonel b., after this exploit, reached
our vessel in safety, and recrOssed the
river.

From the fact that a number of officers
and men daily arrive from the Rappa-
hammock and get leaves of absence and

that the army will not move at present.

missioner for the exchange of prisoners,
shows that the whole number of our men
captured at Fredericksburg will not ex-
