BRUTAL OUTRAGE.-The Nashville Press
is credibly informed, that, few days ago,
party of the 9th Ohio BattSy, while out
foraging, were captured by a party Of reb7
els some ten miles beyond Tullahona The
foraging party numbered one lieutenant
and eighteen men. Seven of them were
tied to tree, shat, and thrown into the
river. Itis not known what became Of the
rest of the men. Two of those thrown in
to the water made their escape to Tullahoma,
where they reported what had been done,
A squad was Immediately sent in pursuit,
and probably by this time the guerrillas
have the proper punishment mcted out to
them 1f ..'n

was forced to destroy his entire train, and
was deprived Of the felon's pleasure OF
cbuckliug over his plundered spoils among
his companions in infamy. Some 40 or 90
negroes we're captured and returned TO their
owners Tsl --.-. E
One incident is worth recording; Capt.
Sprigg, a gallant officer dashed up to a
little squad, and the officer, who proved TO
be Lieut.. COL of the Eighth Yrgini'
(bogus) mounted infantry, ordered him TO
go TO bis company. Sprigs replied, "do
you know who you are talking to2" he an
swered "who are you?" Sprigg replied Il
am one of Jackson's men, andn putting a
pistol to his head, "unless you surrender
Immediately will blow out your brains. ="
It's needless to say that the gallant Cap
tain was soon seep on the, C0loneFs fine
horse galloping after the enemy.
Since the first Of April last, Jackson has
captured and sent to Richmond many more
of the enemy than his own force numbers,
and if he had the command to which his
abilities as commander entitle him, Aver
ill would never reach Salem again, except
as. prisoner The less in killed and
wounded is small, the enemy's loss much
heavier than ours, I,A"ELER,

is the sheerest mockery to pray for victories

to insult the peace of heaven with pom

tory is is achieved. Let US not deceive
ourselves-war is Gods directcu and
victories & defeats are alike part of it -
But honest, humble prayers for peace, and
all that il means, will bless at least the good
hearts that offer them. From the young and
innocent, especially, suca prayers would al
most be answered with the kisses ofangels;

GEN. AVERILL'S RAID
A SOUTHERN ACCOUNT.
Averiil's Ratd.
From the Richmond Sentinel, Dec. 2s.l

From the Richnond Sentinel, Dec. %.
We publish today two communications,
detailing the operations OF two of the bodies
of troops engaged in the late attempt to
capture Averill. The amount OF damage
sustained by Averilhs stated on one ofthese.
The causes which led 20 Averi'fS escape are
two: the one was the false intelligence as to
the en.my's movements which caused Fltz
Lee to be ordered from tie very-Spot- " here
he ought 10 have been, apd made him lose
two DAYS; the other was failure to burn
the bridge over jackson River by the=de-
tachment which Jackson ordered to that
duty. 50 ~
As it is, however. Averill had to fling
away every loose thing, burn his wag ons'
abandon his cannon, lose his spoils, and run
ike thief when the constable is after III ID
and has raised the ''vew-halloo." He
lost, too, considerable number of his men,
some of whom have already arrived here TO
help to populate BelleIsland. The cutting
OF the throats of the horses which he was
compelled to abandon will end to attach
undying disgrace to- his name. There IS
something so disgustingly low ard british
IN such proceeding toward so noble an an
lmal that 1t must fill every generous nina
with odum for him who could-commit it
1t seems as if such creature had but one
step further to so, and that is to cut the
throats Of the prisoners whom he may not
he able to carry off. '--~
