Finale of the Scott Raid. 1.
! Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette

LEXINGTON, Ky, Aug. 8.
Information received this morning
from Wolford's expedition below the
Cumberland in pursuit Of Scott, nearly
concludes tho dashing entroe and in
glorious finale of The last act of tho
brilliant invasion SO long threatened. -
The chivdlr;c leader Of tho flower of tllc
South (the 1st Tia. Cav.) is not clated
probably with their late achievements,
andlby this timc is ready to become Il
subscriber 10 the axiom that "raids
don't pay" The scattered fragments
of Stott's command took refuge among
the hills along their line Of flight, from
Irvine to the Cumberland liver, The
collected remnants numbering proba-
bly, 400 or 500, under Scout, effected
the A4pu cFasSaiiIpsS FgaSiIp sc1gu agu at N ttr guns Pur-
sued by Wolford they again broke up
with the loss Of one of Kun les guns.
The citizens of Wayne county and re:
fugecs, blocked up the roads, infested
the mountain passes, and resisted their
advance, till harrassed in front and
rear, they abandoned four moro guns,
and took to their individual hecls.-
Our men are picking them up at the
rate Of 10 to 20 per day, and those
who escape will only be able to effect
it each on his private responsibility
No armed bands will probably get
through the mountains.
Our news from Tennessee, though
similar in tenor to what we have been
accustomed to receive any time during.
the war, becomes unusually painful, in
view Of the long suffering Of this abus.
cd people The late conscription' act
appears to have been the only one last
piecc Of cruelty needed to complete the
ruin Of EasttTenncssee. Tho able
bodied men had either been forced into
the rebel ranks, or made their escape
The Rebel Government now demands
I the services of all between the ages Of
forty and fifty five. Arcquiston
has been made by Davis on Governor
Harris for 5000 of this class, and rs
many will escape, this number will take
about all that may be left up to fifty
years.
|, The most desperate and determined
efforts to escape on the part Of con-
scripts arc met by the most wanton
cruelties by the rebels, who do not at
tempt to take them, but shoot them
down like wild beasts whenever and
wherever found. The inhuman slaugh,
tier of these peor follows taking
place daily and openly, is absolutely
i horrible, and would be incredible but
