Latest From Knoxville !
a BATTLE ON the ssrH lNsr.
ANOTHER DECISIVE VICTORY BY
OUR CAVALRY!
Two Guns ana 400 Prisoners Cap.
fured!

About the 10Th or 10th Of this month.
il will be recollected that Gen. Sturgis,
at the head of q division Of cavalry,
made an attack on the rebels at Dan
bridge, and after heavy demonstration,
suddenly retrested to Knoxville, whence
he proceeded to the eastward, accom-
panied by reinforcsments; but of the ma
ture of the expedition, all were ignorant.
We have now q solution of the mystery,
from = gentleman direct from East Ten
Tnessee, who is fully acquainted with the
situation, and vouches for the facts he
narrates.
The expedition left in the direction of
Ssvierville, but on arriving in the vicia-
ity of the place, suddenly turned to the
nOrthward, and on the 25th struck the
Railroad near Messy Greek station, with
view Of cutting off the body of cavalry
which had moved towards Knoxville,
when the retreat of q few days before
took place.
The advance was so sudden, that the
rebels were entirely taken by surprise !;
their communication with LOngstreet was
completely cut off, and they had nothing
left bat to Fight, or surrender. A battle
of several hours ensued, resulting not
only in the utter discontinue of the en-
envy, but in the capture of two pieces Of
cannon, and from 400 to 600 prisoners.
We have not yet learned the regiments
engaged, nor the name of the rebel COM
mander; but certain it is, the particu-
lars as far as we have them, are correct.

RAID ON sC0TTSVILLE- -THE GUERILLA HAM
ILToN MOVING ON GLASGOW WITH HIS
COMMAND.
By private despatch 10 3 firm in this
city We learn that q guerrills baud, nm
der the notorious Hamilton, entered
Scottsville on Thursday night, and, after
robbing the stores and plundering the
citizens of all the vsluables they could
end, fred two houses belonging to
Mr.. Samuel Carpenter Of that place.
From all the information we can gath
er, they crossed the Nashville Railroad
at q point about forty-five miles from
here, and are now moving on Glasgow.
As there is strong Federal force in that
vicinity, and the town of Glasgow is
well fortified, we apprehend no danger
in that quarter, but anticipate for them
q warm reception.
Since the above was in type, we learn
from a second despatch, received in this
city by one Of our most substantial citi-
Gems that HamiltOn's force was reported
as numbering 500 Capt Gillum, of the
Ash Kentucky, was in command at
/ ScottsVille with force of $50, and after
= desperate fight surrendered the town to
Hamilton, on condition that be would
respect private property, which condition
was aeceded to, and Capt. Gillum and
his men parOled. In violation of this
agreement, Hamilton fred the court
house, snd destroyed all the public doc
uments in the clerks Office, and commit
ted the depredstions above mentioned.
Capt Gillum informed Hamilton, after
this occurred, that he would no longer
consider the paroles of his men legal

Senator Hicks, Of Maryland, and Hon.
Thomas Swami, on the invitation of the
Maryland Legislature, made speeches
on the evening of the 22nd inst, to the
members, in the hall of the House of
Delegates. Both gentlemen favored eman-
cipation. The following is an extract
from the remarks of Senator Hicks as
given by the Baltimore American:
The Governor then referred TO the sub
iect of Emancipation, and said thai be
had long been an Emancipationist, and
hoped that bis State would 90 what was
expected at her hands in dispOsing Of
this subject, now that it has become 8
necessity TO do so. The institution was
50 far demoralized IS 10 become utterly
useless. he was himself sslavehOlder-
some Of his negroes were already in the
army-and although his capital was as
important TO him as to anybody, he was
willing that the whole should go. He
believed that the interest of the State
reauired prompt action. There was no
practical benefit in tempOrizing over =
subject which had already been disposed
of virtually by the current of events.
BE made strong appeal to shareholders
10 view this subject in the light that ne
did. Slavery had ceased to exist in
Maryland as an institution of value
TO every body.
The Hon. Mr.. Swami said
will say to my friends here, in all
frankness, as the result of every delibsr-
ate convictions, that do not believe you
will ever reconstruct this Union upon
sound and enduring basis, and effectual-
" put an end to the irritations which are
insepsrable from your present condition,
until Slavery has been forever exiting
uished in every State where it now ex-
lists. Let me, in conclusion, indulge the
hope, then, that, without any violation
of our Federal compsct-withOut any
infringement upon constitutional rights
this nation, by the free vote OF her people,
may emerge from the perils of this vast
ting war, with her beautiful garments no
longer disfgured by the blight of Slav-
cry; and that the star of her destiny, so
long obscured, may blaze forth again
with renovated splendor scattering
its light to the North, and the South,
and East, and the West-over the lana
and over the sea-and serve in all future
time IS 3 beacon, not only to the present,
but to generations yet unborn.
He spoke at length in favor of imme-
diate emancipation, declaring that the
only remedy for the present condition of
public affairs.

Ea.. renns.see-rhe sl.u asIon:


The startling intelligence which we
published yesterday. to the effect that
Dalton had been evacuated, and that the
rebels had gone--no one knew whittier
has been fully confirmed. The officer in
charge of the flag of truce is Colonel
Burke, of the 10Th Ohio, and as he is an
efficient man, he will doubtless speedily
discover the whereabouts of the retreat
ing foe; but as yet, we have no light
upon the subject.
That Cheatham's division was sent to
Mobile, some weeks since, has been mat
ter Of public nOtOriety for some time il
numbered but 1000 men, leaving, at the
usual estimate bat $4,000 at Dalton
though these figures are doubtless above
the mark. That SO small force would be
vslueless, if unsupported, every one knew,
but added to either the forces of Lee
or Longstreet they will be formidable.
Not only was the holding of Dalton
imprscticable, because Of the weak
ness of its garrison, but assertions
had become so frequent that il was
necessary to keep the men actively en-
ployed, or place such = distance be-
tween them and our pickets as to pre-
vent struggling !" they could i'll afford
to lose City men per day.
But where have they gone There
are four suppOsitions which have gained
considerable currency, as follows:
