A GUERRILLA OUTRAGE IN TIproN
CoUNTY-OHE MAN HUNG-One of the
most barbarous and outrageous assas-
sinations that was ever perpetrated
on an unfortunate man by band of
guerrillas, was committed in Upton
county, a short time ago. The facts, as
near as We could learn them, are as fol
lows:
On last Wednesday, a party of guer-
rillas, under the leadership of the noto-
rious Bob Fields, made their appearance
at Covington, and after enticing the ne-
groes belonging to Mr. Joseph Bragg,
one of the most respectable citizens of
Upton county, to assist them in their ne
farious designs, they Immediately set out
for his house, about three miles from
Covington, and without any cause what
ever, proceeded to hang Mr. Bragg, SIM
ply because, as they asserted, he was
a Unionist. We trust sincerely that
every man connected Sith this dastardly
murder will be, if ever captured, hung to
the first tree.-Memphis Journal, 31st.

B@A detachment of Col MINERS 18th
Michigan mounted regiment, under Mai.
Fitzgibbon, forded Duck River on Mon
day night of last week, and succeeded in
surrounding and capturing the entire
gang of guerrillas rendezvoused in the
mountains between Santa Fe and Will
Transport The gang numbered eight
cen, and were armed with double-bar-
relied shot-guns and revolvers. They
have avoided capture and pursuit for
nearly six months, and have been COM
mitting depredations between Brentwood
and Columbia, tearing up the railway,
cutting the telegraph wire, and robbing
citizens The gang consisted of "pa-
rolled" and discharged" Confederate
soldiers, banded together for the purpose
of murder and robbery. They were well
mounted and superbly accoutred with
captured United States brides, saddles,
&c. Within the last week over tifty Of
these desperate robbers and murderers

have been killed and captured by this

regiment.
Captain Arthur E. Magill, of the same
regiment, arrived in Nashville on Fri
day evening with between fifty and sixty
rebel prisoners captured by scouting
parties of the regiment He accompa-
MED Major Fitzgi6bon on twenty-four
hours scout previous to leaving Colum-
bla. Entering Lynnville, they secuted
southwest, and the advance of only nine
men, under Lieut. John N. Clarke, sur
prised and captured Capt Campbell. of
Gen. Wheeler's staff, with fourteen of
his men. This party were splendidIy
mounted and equipped, being part of
Gen: Wheeler's body guard, and sent out
6y HIM on a scout. They made a good
tight, but had to succumb Shortly after,
a detachment, under Lieut.. Deveraux,
captured conscript agent and party
OF SIX men who were aiding him in en-
forcing the conscription. They had six
conscripts, who hailed the appearance of
the Federal forces with demonstrations
ofdelight. Thence the party proceeded
toward Mount Pleasant, where the ad-
vance charged upon a squad of guerril-
las, killing one and capturing the rest
The force under Major Fitzgibbon was
only five officers and eighty men; trav-
eied sixty miles, captured over forty
rebels, with their arms, horses, aud
equipments, and returned to Columbia |
within twenty-four, hours. There are |
plenty of rebel soldiers in the country |
surrounding Columbia, but Col Mizner |
will make it very unp pleasant for them, |
unless they skedaddle very shortly.

Desperate Risk but Safe Escape from
D Rebel Prison.

from the Richmond Enquirer, Oct 24l
On Thursday morning, between the
hours of 2 and 8 O. clock, four men sue
eeeded in making their escape from Cas-
tie Thunder. A previous attempt of the
same party having been discovered and
frustrated by the vigilance of the officers,
they were confined in the condemned
cell, before which guard is kept contin-
ually walking to and fro, and which,
from its position in the very centre of the
building, was deemed the most secure
place in the prison. Obtaining by some
means the necessary tools, they cut
through the floor into the Commissary's
room beneath, descending into which
they secured the arms placed there for
safe keeping, then in a body rushing out
into the room used for the reception of
visitors, they overthrew the sentinel on
guard inside the door, who, being disa-
bled by the fall, could not further arrest
their fight.
They next encountered the sentinel in
front of the prison on Carey street He
happening to be Immediately in their
path, one of the number rushed upon
him, and placing the muzzle of his gun
to the head of the guard-who in vain
attempted to stop their egress-dis-
charged the piece. The whole load en-
tered the lower portion of the head, in
ficting frightful wound, and, of course,
causing instant death. Three or four
shots were fred in rapid succession at
the fleeing murderers, but with what
success is not known. A crowd of SOL
disrs on duty at the prison were soon
collected around the scene of this la
mentable disaster
The name of the deceased was Sutton
Byrd, a private in Company C, SD North
Carolina troops
The names of the parties who COM
mitted this cold .blooded murder, are E.
D. Boone, Edwa.l Carney, Thomas Cole
and John A. Chapman.

To the Unconditional Union Men of
Kentucky, and their Friends throuqk-
out the United States: ~
At meeting of the Unconditional
Union men, held in the city of Louisville
on the l4th day of October, 1868, for the
purpose of confering in respect to- the
establishment of daily newspaper to
represent and advocate their views, it
was resolved that the publication is de-
sirable; and the undersigned we're ap-
pointed committee to carry out the OBJ
ject of the meeting. --.r-.,
The Legislature of Kentucky viii meet
on the first Monday in December next,
when charter for joint stock compa-
ny is to be obtained, with capital of
not less than $50, 900 nor more than
$l50,000, divided into shares of $50 90.
The first issue of the paper is to appear
on the first day of January,elS64. The
sum of $4,000 was obtained by sub
scriptions from members of the meeting,
and assurances we're given that larger
sum, and perhaps the whole amount re-
quired for the establishment of q FIRST
class journal, might be subscribed by
tne lrlenus OF the enterprise IN kentucky.
To solicit this aid from the friends of our
cause in this State and elsewhere, and
to set forth the grounds on which we
claim it, are the objects of this appeal
From the inception of the, rebellion,
the genuine Union sentiment of the
State has found but little expression,
either in the addresses of the prominent
politicians or in the press. This state
of things, at all times source of MUIR
muring, though somewhat alleviated by
the partial supply of loyal journals from
other StatesY has at last ripened into dis
satisfaction and a positive demand for
such a newspaper as we propose to es-
tablish. aa af

Gen, MiIrOV.

The indianapolis Journal, in noticing
the recent arrival in that city of General
Milroy, asserts that in his honorable ac-
quital by the Court of Inquiry of all
charges growing out of the rebel attack
upon Winchester last summer. which re-
suited IN the defeat of his army, the
General has achieved Complete and
triumphant victory over the meanness
and malice of Gen. Halleck." Without
endorsing the Journals opinion of Gen.
Halleck, we yet confess there are some
things in connection with Gen. Milroys
trial that we do not like or understand.
1t was apparent to everybody-when the
news of the attack on Winchester was
received and the precarious situation of
Gen. Milroy's army was known-that a
great military blunder had been commit
ted Copperheads at once raised the
hue and cry that Milroy alone was re-
sponsible; that he was a hot-headed abo-
ttlonist, possessing neither brains nor
discretion; and that nothing better ought |
to have been anticipated when he was
promoted to so responsible position as
that of Major General
The Louisville Democrat, in particu-
lar, "spread itself" like a small hen
over large brood of chickens, and re-
galed its readers daily with ridicule and
sarcasm, at the expense of the unfortu-
nate officer, who did the very best he
could under the circumstances in which
be was placed. The Administration
gave credit to these attacks, by ordering
Court of Inquiry. This was an ac-
knowledgment that blunder had been
made, and that somebody was response

The ALLOTMENT SYSTEM. - Adj. Gen.
Washburn in his report, makes the following
comments upon the allotment system, with an
exhibit of the amount of allotted pay from
each corps in the service from this state at the
time the report was made up. .. .... . ..
q Intimately connected with the subject of
pay, is that of the Allotment System, under
the act of Congress of july D, 1861, and the
statute of this State of November 90 1861.
The importance Of this system to the enlisted
man can hardly be over estimated And the
plan adopted for carrying it fully in effect, IN
this State. has proved emineatly successful.
Being fully impressed with its importance,
have taken especial care that the men of
each regiment and detachment for three years
service, raised during the year, should have
ample opportunity to allot, if they desired to
do so, before leaving the State, and should
have all the details of the system fully ex-
planned to them.
Means were also taken, early in the year,
under the direction of the Governor, to afford
to the regiments in the field opportunity to
allot. a -"
The following abstract will show that the
troops from Vermont have appreciated the
importance of the system, and the advantage
of placing in safe hands, at home, for future
use, such portion of the Government pay as'is
not needed by them for present purposes.
