COURT DEcIs1oN.-The GAINESVILLE Courier
states that in the case of the State OF
Ohio VS.. Mulligan, for assault and battery
on Patterson, Judge Evans fined the defen'
dant. a member of the Sd Ohio Volunteers,
$40 and costs. The Judge prefacsd his
sentence by remarking that the charge OF
Of assault and battery was sustained by the
egidence, which showed that the defendant
had allowed his political feelings to get the
aC7sntage of him, and that Patterson in as
.erting his determination to vote for Val
landigham, was only exercising that liberty
of opinion and speech that every American
citizen ought to enjoy, and any infraction OF
that liberty he should always punish whilst
he was on the Bench.

Rebels Across the Rapidan.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to the
Times from Washington says: 1t is posi-
tiyely aseertained that the whole rebel in
fantry force crossed the Rapidan on Satur
lday last. The only forces left this side are
reconnoitering bands of Stuart's cavalry,
Towering the rebel front on the south bank
of the Rapidan, which they are terrifying
with care. 1t is the intention OF the rebels
to rendezvous this winter between the
Rappahannock and Rapidan, which is es-
tablished by the fact, that from Brandy
Station to the Rapidan'log huts, capable of
accommodating $4,000 men, have been
erected.
Our advance of Saturday effected one Of
its objects in the preservation OF "A miles
of road and telegraph between the Kappa
hammock and Rapidan, both of which are
now in perfect working order.
The Railroad bridge across the Kappa
hammock will be done next Monday.
Lees army at Gordonsville, exclusive of
cavalry, does not much exceed 20, 900 men.
Our cavalry in force, already far south of
the Rapidan, is accommodating the enemy's
position.
Two divisions of cavalry from Lees army
have recently been sent to East Tennessee.
The guerrillas swarm about our camps.
To 90 beyond our pickets is death as we
daily lose officers and men and nules.-j
Within a month about 70 wagons, 500
mules, 1000 soldiers, commissioned officers
and enlisted men have been captured.
The forces sent to operate against Burn
side in East Tennessee have been recalled

nv at Charlottesville or Gordonsville. This

A despatch from the Army of the Poto'
mac to the Herald on the 18th says:
understand that Meade having driven
the enemy to the South side of the Rapidan
has accomplished his mission, but he will be
ready to move still further as soon as the
railroad will make his base of supplies
within reaching distance,
Perfect quiet reigns through the camps,
except a wall for suffers stores and more
blankets.
A ridiculous rumor is in circulation to-
day, that 5000 bel..soldiers of Lees army
had voluntarily come into Our lines and
laid down their arms and given themselves
up. Military authorities pronounce it to
be entirely without foundation.
A number of paymasters started to-day
for the front to pay off the troops. 1t is
expected that the Army of the Potomac
will all be paid in few days.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA ashlngt or
correspondent, in private note from the
front; says:
1t was believed the rebels were in con
siderable force to the south of Culpepper,
and on tbs side of the Rappahannock.
1t now looks as if Lee was manoeuvering
for some position for battle which the
writer did not regard as at all improbable
unless the enemy suddenly crossed the Ra-
pidan with all his force, thus giving confir-
nation of the previous belief of his weak
ness.
1t will be recollected that in Lees Off
cial report of his former advance, he select
ed the ground he now holds to attack
Meade, he therefore has an opportunity to
make good his word.
Our army cannot advance owing to the
want of a railroad bridge at the Kappa.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l2-The facts con-
tanned in the despatch sent from Washing
ton, this morning, with regard to the rebel
prisoners on Johnson's Island, Were obtain
ed from official sources, but since then ad-
ditional information, authentic in its char
acter. has been obtained, BY which it ap-
pears that the Governor General Of Canada
has given notice through Lord Lyons to the
Sec'v of State of rebel plots Matched in the
British provinces to deliver the prisoners
On Johnson's Island in Lake Erie and
burn Buffalo and Ogdensburg. Adequate
measures to defeat the nefarious enterprises
have been promptly adopted. The courtcy
and good faith of the British authorities Is
highly appreciated.
It is not apprehended that anything
serious will grow out of the affair, as the
government was not unprepared for the
disclosures made.
There is no prospect Of an early general
exchange of prisoners, although our
government is endeavoring to effect such an
arrangement. In few days, however, an
exchange of Surgeons will take placs-the
rebels holding at Richmond So belonging to
our armies.

A PATRIOTIC WOMAN.

The Albany Epeaing journal tells the follow
ing At PIattsburg. the other day, a man of
no very greatloyal pretenrions called on a
widow and informed her that her only son
was drafted. and then FASTENED to tell her that
he could secure his exemption if she would
certify that she was widow, and that he was
him fer support. The patriotic lady made the
following reply s'l can certify to no such
thing, am not dependent on my son tor sup
port, and never expect to be. Besides, l
think he ought to go, If he is able to perform
military duty, and every other able bodied
man, till this wicked rebellion is put down.

skirts has kept me from going.'

yAL1ANp1aHAM,s DEF EVIDENCE.

Vallandigbam seems to be losing ground.
Everywhere throughout Ohio scores of loyal
democrats are deserting his standard. Thus
the american Union, published at Steubeus-
vile, which for thirty years has been the or
gan of the democrats of Jefferson county, re-
fuses utterly to support the Vallandigham tick
ct, emphaticall declaring
"We, as an editor, stand to-day where we
did the first day the first gun was fired on
Fort Sumpter. Nearly the whole party stood
with us then, as we believe it does now. We
will not be intimidated or wheedled into a
wrong position. We will stand between the
camps of the Israelites and Philistines. and
we can cry ia the hour of ofdegenerscy oe to the
leaders ofthe great democratic party, until.
like ancient Nineveh, the people will awake
and come up to the pun i6cation OF the dem :
ocratic temple, and overthrow those who are
trying to place the party in false position.
This will be- DONE"
Vallandigham himself is doubtless satisfied
that he cannot possibly succeed. A rebel
letter written ia Shelbyville, Tenn, on the 18th
nit, says that '.ValIandigbam declared, when
there, that his election depended upon the fate
of Vicksburg.'' That dependence having en-
tirely failed, Yallandigham has probably con-
cluded that he must still remain in the s'pr-
vate station.'

REBEL BARBARIrIEs IN TENNESSEE.

The Nashville Union of the 22d inst, mar
rates the following esMr. Bell, living eigh-
teen miles from Clarksvile, was robbed one
night last week of one Thousand dollars by
party OF Confederate soldiers Learning that
he had two thousand dollars in gold in addi-
ton, they dragged him from his honse into
the woods, and bending small sapling, they
fastened rope round his neck and tied the
other end to the bending sapling, then let the
young tree swing upwards and dangle the vic
tim, wrirhing in pain, between heaven and
earth. After few moments hanging, they
let him down again, and asked him If he
would tell where the gold was secreted. He
answered as before, that he could 1ot, as he had
never hsdht. They pretended to doubt has ear
nest assertions, and hung him no less than
seven times. When he was let down the last
time he was so near dead that the devils
thought longer torture would be useless, and
tax ing the one thousand dollars left him to
bis fate. He was found in a helpless and al
most dying condition, and carried to the
house by his friends. His recovery is thought
to be very doubtful.
