Cincinnati, March T.-Despatches from
Murfreesboro' give the following account
ofthe fight near Snow Hill:
On the Cd inst, Gen. Stanley with 1000
cavalry and Colonel Mathews infantry
brigade, started to capture Morgan's and
lWharton's cavalry aud the 9Th regiment of
infantry.
They drove in the enemys pickets.
The 7th Pennsylvania CT valry turned
the rebel right, while Minty's cavalry bri.
gade with Newell's battery moved up in
front. The enemy fed in great confusion.
The enemy's pickets were then encoun-
tered west of Liberty, and considerable
force of rebels was posted on the bluffs on
the opposite side of Smiths Ford. They
resisted, and were driven back, and formed
again on Dry Fork, whence they were
again driven.
The rebels then formed third and
stronger line on Snow Hill. The I'd and
4th Ohio cavalry were sent to the rear OF
the line. They charged, broke the lire of
the enemy when the fight ended in the
flight of the rebels.
The rebel loss was from. Is to 20 killed,
a number wounded and go prisoners.
Gen. Stanley also captured 500 horses
and mules and quantity of bacon aud
wheat. He destroyed considerable forage
The rebels escaped with their guns
Our loss was Que private killed and two
slightly wounded.
Gen. Stanley returned to Murfreesboro'
by way of Lebanon, capturing six prisoners
at the latter place.

ton-and some other boats shelled the town
of Florence, Ala, on the I'd inst, and
drove away company of rebel cavalry
stationed there.
A special dispatch from Helena, dated
the Sd inst, says adVices from General
Quim6y's expedition to the 3Oth uIt., state
that no progress had been made in the
reduction of Fort Greenwood. Our forces
were still in front of the enemy and there
had been considerable skirmishing between
the pickets on shore. The rebels were
improving the time by greatly increasing
the strength of their works.
They have received and mounted more
heavy guns. L. is the opinion of we'll in
formed officers that our gunboats will not
succeed in taking the place
The country along the Tailahntchie is
occupied by two regiments of Confederate
cavalry and swarms with guerrillas.

rebel ritiemen ut the mouth of the Cold

The proposition, originating in the fFst

increased the rent of the stalls the butchers
would raise the price of their meats. AZ

G9THE NONSENSE OF BOARDING SMALL
CHAXaE.-The practice of collecting aud
boarding up small coin has become al
most universal among certain classes of
our citizens, in the belief that it is far
mere valuable than the paper currency.
Many of them, perhaps, are not aware that
three cent pieces aud cents are not really
worth what they pass for. they are not
legal tender, and therefore debts amount
ing to more than thirty cents cannot be
paid with them. Strange as it may appear
We know farmers and others who have
large amounts stored away With the ridic-
ulOus expectation, that they will greatly
increase in value after a while. These
small coin should be used, as they were
intended, for general circulation as change,
and they were made to pass for more than
they are really worth. in order than they
would freely circulate. Much ipcouveni-
ence might be avoided if our business
community would bring out their change,
aud We hope they will act on our sugges-
ton, aud give it full circulation.

B9- CoLLIsIoN ON the BALTINoRE AND
oHto RAItRoAD.-A collision occurred at
CarroIlton yiaduct, on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, last Saturday evening.
The way train from the west experienced
some difficulty in machinery, and stopped
on the track. Knowing that another train
was approaching, the conductor dispatch
ed the baggage master with signal light
to warn the train to stop. Tue man did as
directed, and had proceeded considerable
distance when the train came dashiug
along. The engineer was unable to see the
light in consequence of the flakes of snow
and the dense smoke from tue smoke stack
in front of him, and continued on. Other
employees near the rear of the train saw
the signal, and Immediately put down the
breaks, but not in time to prevent the COL
lisiou. Both trains were considerably
damaged. A passenger named Peter Har-
ftde, aged about AZ years, was killed. Ed
ward Coleman, an employee of the compa-
ny, had leg broken, Conrad Wilhelm
was badly burned in consequence of a
stove falling upon him. Henry YOrline and
other road hands were hurt, but not Sc
riously.
