SwEETwATER, Tens, Aug. %, 1868.
The notorious iloncycut has again escaped.
He was heavily ironed but managed to rid
himself OF those cncumbmnccs and break
through tAc guard. Several shots were fired
Mt him, but missed their mark. It seems
that he is determined to eludc the justice he
so richly deserves and probably will not he
seen or heard of until he commits some net
of robbery or murder. Every one should be
on the lookout and if possible arrest him, for
there are already too many such characters
lose upon the country.
We turned over our horses and arms on
the Goth inst, and are now awaiting orders.
1t is thought that we will start for Nashville
in few days to be mustered out. All are
to return home and move out some of the
outlaws that infest the upper counties, such
as Bill Fitsgcrald and others, that have been
robbing Uuion citizens ever since the war
began.
The health of the Regiment is good.

Gen. Rousseau's Election.
The Louisville Journal Of yesterda,

The LOUISVILLE journal or yesterday
says:
Major General Rousseau, by his bril-
liant success on Monday, has astonish-
ed his opponents and gwen many of
his friends an agreeable surprise.
Mis- majority is greater than either
party expected. Indeed the anti
amendment party, up to Monday af-
ternoon, would have bet almost any
odds upon his defeat Still he him
self was all the while confident; in
decd he was not less confident in the
cause of the right than ho was in 1861,
when he took measures to raise II Ken
lucky brigade and entered upon the
military career which resulted so glo-
riously.
Few know what difficulties General
Rousseau had to meet and encounter
when he began his canvass. True, he
was favorito Of the people, but his
position in regard to the Constitution
al Amendment was most unpopular.
Tho proposed measure, advocated by
him, was wholly new to most of the
voters and against their education,
their habits of thought, and all their
prciudiccs. lie went into the counties,
no matter in what direction, he Of
course found himself received warmly
and admiringly asa man and warrior !;
but if he talked abont the Consttu-
tional Amendment, those around him
opened wide thcir eyes, shook their
heads, and gave him to understand
that it was impossible for them to sup
port him. But he believed that he
could overcome their opposition, and
he went heroically to work and to q
very great extent, succeeded. 1t was
not long before he announced to us
and to his oth s' ifyispds that he would
A very large portion of the honor
of clocting the gallant Rousseau be-
longs to the Germans and tho Irish.
No other candidate ever got such Il
German and Irish vote as his. The
Germans went for him all but unan-
imously, and the Irish who did not
vote forhim were exceedingly few. He
is deeply grateful for the noble SER
vice done him by both, and he will
never forget it. A hundred efforts
wcro made to turn them against him,
hut they stood as firmly up for him as
ever he himself stood in battle. They
were proof against arguments, proof
against promises, and proof against
threats. All conceivable devices
were used against him with them as
we'll as with others, and money was
freely lavished, but all proved of no
avail Hois tho representative elect
of this district in Congress, and it is
n most fortunate thing for the State.
She will feel the effects of this great
and salutarv influence at the Capitol
