The House Of Representatives like the Con-

The House passed with undue haste the
Senate bill to amend the law SO as to force
the militia of one State to go to the defence
of other States. This action is taken so as
to concentrate force against Sherman.
A Paducah despatch Of yesterday says
Military affairs in that district are very ac-

Mississippi is now known. The whole
country is thoroughly secuted and parties

Sheridan's cavalry have had another 81 =
ce,siul engagement with Elrly's army.
The Heralds dispatches say that on Mon
day last three divisions Of cavalry, under
Custer. Powell and Devin, set out TO ascer-
tain the rebel position and strength. No
resistance was met till Tuesday, when the
main army of the rebels, about $1,000 in
f,ntrv and division OF cavalry were found
at Roods Hill, a position almost as strong az
Fishers Hill.
Fighting Immediately ensued, and lasted
six hours ,.during the latter part very severe.
Early made repeated attempts to flank
Custer and Powell, but was hanked every
time. Some magnificent charges Were
made by the Union Cavalry. The
rebels showed but little spirit in the en-
gagement After gaining sufficient intorma-
lion of Early's strength our forces commenc-
ed TO retire. Feeble attempts to follow and
annoy them were made by the rebels. Our
loss altogether was only GO
The report that some Of Early's men have
been withdrawn from the Valley is confirm
ed but the rebels say they have been replac-
ed by scattered detac ments gathered from
various :, c. ions Of the country.
Large numbers Of deserters come in to our
lines daily, many bringing horses and equip
ments.

Gov. Brown of Ca, has issued a proclaim

The Richmond Examiner thinks the ruth
less conduct of the great national army will
have tendency to cement Georgians in sup
port Of the rebel government.
The Wing says less hopefully-'We can
not say that We feel an absolute conviction
although indeed our hopes are strong that
Sherman will fall in reaching his final OBJ
ject."
The steamers Hermon and Lexington have
arrived at Annapolis with 1916 ptrOled prls-

only about six hours march from the Stock
AIDES when the men vino arrived in tuese

ing made by the rebels to send our men 10

\ despatch from Gen. Lee is printed IN
Richmond papers in which he claims the

10 miles, and that our forces left their killed
and wounded behind.

Hoods army, numbering probably 10000
men, have been for several days past concen-
trating south Of Columbia. Tenn. Our forces
in the meantime have evacuated Pulaski,
Huntsville and Decatur, which places are
now in the hands of the rebels Oar forces
are near and about Columbia, IN Hoods
front. They are commanded by Gen. Thomas.
On the 24th inst. some severe sklrmlshlng
occurred, resulting in a loss to the tederals
Of a killed and wounded. The rebel loss Is
estimated at pa Among the killed was
one rebel Colonel. Large bodies OF troops
are being massed in Hoods front and some
heavy fighting may be expected IN That dlreo-
ton in few days Communication by tele-
graph to Columbia has been interrupted.
There are rumors in circulation that there
was heavy fighting Friday between the op-
posing armies but no official adyices Of an
engagement have yet been received Hood :
demonstrations in Tennessee have thus far
been frultless Ii If Confidently predicted by
those who are well informed in army mat

1t has transpired that cannon and war ma
