A FIGHI AT UyIosTowx-From par
lies who arrived from below, yesterday |
morning, We learn that on Monday the
small garrison Of Federal troops station
ed at Uniontown, KY, we're attacked oy
a party Of 65 guerriilss, at ii O'Clock,
and a sharp eight ensued Of an hours
duration, during which tine II OF the
colored troops we're killed aud 10 wound
ed. The colored troops, however, beat
of the guerriIIas and held the place,
though only numbering 4S in all at the
beginning Of the Eight The loss Of the
rebels was not ascertained, but the
fact that they were driven off would in
dictate that they had suffered considers
bly.
The officer commanding the negro
troops tried to induce the Emma Floyd,
which was passing down, to land aud
lake Of the eolored troops, By firing
ahead, behind, and finally into her, bat
she passed on her way.
LATER-From q gentleman y DO ar.
rived from Uniontown BY the Armada
&c learn that the above is vastly exag
gerated. There was only slight skirm
ish at long range between the colorec
troops and guerrillas, in which nom
we're injured, so far as could be ascer
tanned. 1t was reported, however, tina
the command which had been on scou
in the direction Of norgan6eld had bee
divided, and portion commanded by
Lieutenant had been approached by
party Of guerrilIas who represented tina
their band had captured the Capital
and bis detachment, and that the Lief
tenant had surrendered his command
But this rumor needs confirmation.
The fact that the officer in commsn
at Unioutown did ERE into the Emm
, Floyd TO induce her to land, is ful
9 confirmed, and we cannot refrain fro
the opinion that il was an exceeding
foolish aud unsoldierly method of ha'
8 ing steamboat, SIS il is reasonable ia
i no beat would land after being fir

Tue CONCERT AND PRESENTATION
In consequence Of the unpleasantness
of the evening, the crowd at Mozart
Hall last night was not large, and those
who were absent missed very pleasant
scene. The Crescents were on hand, of
course, in force, and made much most
delightful and fascinating music
After playing several pieces, the band
passed around behind the scenes. when
the curtain arose, exhibiting one Of the
most enchanting tAbleaux we have ever
seen.
-Four very handsome young ladies',
three arrayed in the tri-colors Of the

looked queenly, surrounded with chap
let's of flowers, and various musical in
struments, supported magnificent ban.
