But did Orchard apprehend. on the

Not a hand was laid upon him, nor any

there is no apology that can be available

The Inquirer OF this morning has the
following:
CHATTANOOGA, Oct. l9.-Captsin Marsh.
of the 4th Regulars, has just arrived
from williamson, which place he left
yesterday.
He reports that Colonel Mintish's Bri-
gade of cavalry has met the enemy in

charged and routed the rebels, captur-
ing General Young and q large number
Of prisoners.
On the 18th the same cavalry charged

Comprehend Raid.

A gang of Copperhead ~skedaddlers
from the draft, and perhaps a few South
ern rebels, crossed from Canada into Yer
mont, g few days since, and entered the
town of St. Adams, committing robbery,
murder and other outrsges. These mis-
creants DO doubt belong to Vsllandig-
hams Copperhead secret order, members
of W nth go around the streets of our towns,
cities, and througboutthe country, armed
with revolvers. the question must soon be
determined whether such dangerous char
acters shall annoy and ~endanger the bet
ter class of people with their threats of
blood and their reckless handling of dead
ly weapons. We believe that there Is
great danger of the St. Adams tcAEe
being re enacted in towns all ever the
North, if the i~nrerneI teachingso of copper
head emissaries of rebels are allowed to
be diffused- among the ignorant. the prej-
udiced and the vicious, as is now being
done. We would cherish the privilege
of personal liberty, but regard it as an
abuse of the privilege TO permit men to
daily 60 about armed with implements of
murder, in defiance of law. Il Is 10 he
feared that at some unexpected hour a
copPerhead conspiracy will break forth in
the North, in obediance to the dictation
of Southern masters. To be f.rewarned,
Is to be forearmed.
