Bentley, Major Ofthe Eighth Eas. Tennessee
Cavalry, after severe AID protracted ILL
ness Of four months, died on Sabbath morn

The deceased, responding to the Presi-
dents FIRST call for troops, served in the
ranks Of the gallant Seventh in the three

Ninth Ohio battery, (WetmOre's.) At Cum
berland Gap he was transferred, with the
rank of ofLieutenant, to the First Tennessee
Cavalry, afterwards receiving commissions
successively as Adjutant and Captain in
this regiment. Here, in connection with
Colonel James Brownlow (son Of PsrsOn
Brownlow he obtained an enviable reputa-
tion for courage as a soldier and efficiency
as an officer. The names of " Brownlow
and Bentley" carried terror and eonster-
nation among the rebels, and will long be
associated with the most brilliant victories
Of the campaign in Eastern Tennessee.
He was eventually transferred to the COM
mand of the Eigth Tennessee Cavalry, with
the rank of Major, which commission he
resigned in March 1864, on account Of
physical disability.
Now he has crossed the river, and JiCou-
dcs on the other side.
His record is one of which nation may
be proud his services to his country de-
mand nations gratitude. And while
MS friends noun their loss let them remem-
Der that II is also nations loss, and rejoice
thet his young life was 80 freely given for

His funeral will be attended at the resi-
dence of his father, 1873 Kinsman street, on

Az EeGs TRAoRDIELRY APPETITE.-A night
or two since, man, dressed like gentle
man, and apparently sane in all other re-
spects, took his seat at the supper table Of
the Weddell House, and proceeded TO eat,
in addition to usual supper Ofveai outlets,
stewed potatoes, &C., ts0sHt,-seven hard
boiled eggs. If there are any who regard
this story as apocryphal, we will refer them
to our friend George Bingham, the clerk OF
the House, who is ready to make afid avit
to its correctness. The eggs teers eggs, too,
and costabout two cents apiece. We leave
the Herald Local, who is strong on eggs,
to make Unnecessary jokes about this an
ecdote. For ourselves, in view of the pres
ent price of eggs, we regard it as no joking
matter.

FROM THE FRONT.

NAHINGTON, Aug. q.
It ia stated, unoficially, that at the time
of the attack on General Hancock. he was
engaged in the work of destruction on the
Weldon Railroad, 'and his men,
being stationed in detachmen IS along sew
eral miles, the rebels were enabled to do
some damage before our force could be
consolidated.
The rebels made capture Of some guns,
it is said by the aid of their sharpshoot-
ers, concealed in cornfeld, who shot the
horses and men, and then made a rush up
on them, dragging them within their skir-
mish lines. But it is doubtful if they got
any Of them off the field. The batteries
organized consisted of only four guns to
the battery, and consequently if the rebels
had succeeded in carrying off all of the
four batteries they are reported to have at
one time, it would have been but sixteen
guns.
Gen. Barlow's division, of the I'd Corps,
is said to have lost considerably in prison
ers at the time Gen. Hill mado his first
onset

GEORGIA WANTS 10 GET BACK
IN THE UNION.
NEW YORK, August 27.

The Times Washington special says:
A gentleman has arrived in this city
from Georgia. He came by way Of At
lanta with permission Of General Sherman.
He represents that the State Government
desires to learn on what basis the United
States Government will treat with the
State Of Georgia for re-admission into the
Union. This action of the Georgia au-
thOrities is had without reference to the
balance Of the Southern C0nfederacy.
The Times special from City Point
says;
About four o'clock Thursday morning
the enemy in front of Buffers right wing
made q sortie, and were repulsed. We
took about 90 prisoners, including two Off
GERS.
The attack was probably intended to
feel our strength, the fact having doubt
less become known that there were changes
taking place yesterday in the disposition
Of our troops.
On our side the casualties were 20.
Elsewhere in this army all is quiet.
