November 6, 1863, The New York Herald<\/em><\/p>\n

            There is but little news yet of moment from Gen. Meade\u2019s army. The guerillas seem to gain boldness every day. On the night before last they captured a Major of our army within two miles of our headquarters on the road to Auburn, and the same band seized a quartermaster and four men almost within sight of headquarters. A part of them made a raid upon Edsall Station, five miles from Alexandria, on the same day, and carried off several horses and mules. Several parties of rebel cavalry dashed through the lines of our left, and committed depredations in Prince William county.<\/p>\n

            The division of General Kilpatrick\u2019s cavalry went out on a reconnoissance on Wednesday towards Falmouth, and when near Hartwood Church they fell in with two regiments of South Carolina and Georgia cavalry, who ensconced themselves behind a hill. They were flanked and dislodged, and after half an hour\u2019s skirmishing were driven across the Rappahannock, with a loss of three killed and several thousand wounded. The reconnoissance resulted in discovering no large force of the enemy in that region.<\/p>\n

            The rebels made another attack on the Colliersville, Memphis and Charleston Railroad on the 3d instant, and were repulsed. The rebel General Geary and thirteen of his staff were captured.<\/p>\n

            The news from East Tennessee is important. A despatch from Knoxville, dated the 4th instant, says that East Tennessee is once more clear of rebels, with the exception of guerillas, who hover around our wagon trains and infest our mail routes above. The fight at Roan Spring resulted in the rout of the rebels. We lost seventeen killed and fifty-two wounded. Colonel Garrard pursued the rebels beyond Kingsport.<\/p>\n

            A despatch from Nashville, dated on the 4th, (confirmed by an official from General Thomas to General Halleck), reports that on the day previous, Major Fitzgibbon, of the Fourteenth Michigan cavalry, with one hundred and twenty men, met at Lawrenceburg, thirty-five miles beyond Columbus, the combined forces of the rebels Cook, Kirk, Williams and Scott, numbering four hundred cavalry, and after four very desperate charges, resulting in a loss to the rebels of eight killed, seven wounded and twenty-four prisoners, drove them before him without any loss on his side, except three wounded. General Bragg\u2019s forage train, sent up the Lookout valley, in front of his position, was captured. The train was sent to camp.<\/p>\n

            The full details of the battle of Lookout Mountain \u2014 the midnight expedition of General Hooker and its happy results \u2014 are given by our correspondents today, together with a map of the scene of action.<\/p>\n

            Advices from Arkansas by way of Memphis and Cairo, state that General Marmaduke attacked Pine Bluffs on the 28th ult. with three thousand men, and was repulsed by the garrison, which numbered only seven hundred men, under Colonel Clayton. He lost twelve killed and fifteen wounded. General Price\u2019s forces are said to have retreated beyond Red river, leaving only his cavalry at Arkadelphia.<\/p>\n

            The rebel division of General Loring, consisting of eight thousand infantry, is now lying around Canton, Miss., while three thousand men are said to be guarding Mobile and the railroads running to the South.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
