McCoNNELLsAuRa, Pa, Dec. 3.-A fight
occurred at Timber Ridge yesterday BE-
tween q portion Of Company I, of the 2lst
Pennsylvania mounted infantry and some
delinquent conscripts and desertsrs con
gregated at . shooting match. The SOL
diers advanced, when the Provost Marshal
went forward to bold parley with the
conscripts. They refused to listen to him,
and immediately commenced to fire at him,
none of which took effect. The soldiers
then opened FIRE, when great fight ensued,
lasting for about an hour. The conscripts
and deserters were finally driven over two
hills; skirmishing being kept up the whole
way. The fighting was carried on princi-
pally in the woods The casualties were
slight. The conscripts one man killed
and two wounded. One wounded man was
captured. The remainder being familiar
with the country made good their escape
into the mountains. None Of our men
were injured. Moro affairs of this kind
may be speedily looked for, - it is deter
mined to bring these outlaws to justice.
