 THE KILLED.
 KNOXVILLE, TENN, August ?. The dead, so far as known, as the result of the fight between miners and troops, are J E. Walthall, of Knoxville; Bush Givens, of Knoxville; Smith, of Chat tanooga, killed in the fort. Private Waterman, of Memphis, was killed in the fort. One hundred and seventy five men were struggling two by two up Walden's Ridge. It was in the middle of the dark night. They had had no supper and were unused to mountain climbing.
 When daylight broke over the mountain the little army was near ing the end of the bridge. Another rest was taken. The army, two by two, filed into the cut and began the descent on the east. As the last man emerged shufiing feet, and the cry of ''halt" came from behind an angle in the ledge. Instantly the citizens and soldiers halted, but before they could raise their guns a volley from twenty five rifles poured lead into Col. Ledgerwood's company. Then a mighty cheering arose from the slope one hundred yards further down. Evidently the heart of the ambuscade had not been reached. Steady, boys fire P shouted Col. Ledgerwood, and Maj. Carpenters s men, and Capt. Anderson's s men and soldiers all fired. They had reached their height when "charge, shouted Major Anderson, and the miners fed Walthall and Giyens lay limp on a slanting mountain road The miners came up from the valley, and the citizens and soldiers retreated toward Clinton, fighting as they went. Tom Carter, of Knoxville, was shot through the body just above the left groin. It was with difficulty he reached the railroad
 The soldiers fired up at intervals. Near Coal Creek Gen. Carnes found a large squad of miners guarding the railroad approach. They were captured without resistance. Bring me Col. Anderson instantly" said Gen. Carnes. "You shall have him at l o'clock, /" they replied It was noon then. For an hour Gen. Carnes waited and listened to the intermittent fight going on be- tween the fort and the miners on the mountain tops, 400 yards away. At 80 nothing had been seen of Col. Anderson, or those who promised to deliver him, and Gen. Carnes began detour, so as to enter Coal Creek from another direction.
 Col. Anderson was at this time being hustled from pocket to cave, from bush to ledge, by Sheriff Ruth erford, and few of the better class of miners, who at last realized it being all Tennessee and maybe the federal government down on them for having his head to be touched by the miners, who promised a delivery of the magnif- cent prisoner, but did not know where he was. The second detachment of Knoxville Volunteers first reached Fort Anderson. Capt. Anderson was restored to his men
