Tho battle of Coal Creek Is at un cud. Tho wildlcrs are victorious for onco in tho mining troubles. Tho btate's honor has been upheld. When Mnj.

Al though the major was familiar with every bypnth lu the black wilds, It was found dilllcult to keep the direction as not oven the stars wero shining. Con sequently progress was slow. After a while four men appeared nnd offered to guide tho party. Maj. Car penter reluctantly accepted tho offer and the march was again taken up and at a better speed. Hetwcon 5 and 0 o'clock yesterday morning, whllo en tirely unconscious of danger, tho men were fired upon from behind. Tho miners lay behind a stone lodge. Tholr broad side mowed down Volunteers John Wnlt hall and Hush Glvlns, both of Knox ville, nnd wounded Volunteer Tom Car ter, also of Nashville. Maj. Carpenter's men returned the fire and fought brave ly, but retreat was necessary, the men fighting all the way. Thu volunteers fell back to Clinton, six miles, reuchlug there at noon. In the meantime Gen. Cnrncs had es tablished himself at OffuU to await daylight. With the first streak of dawn the advance on Conl Creek was begun.

The captured miners, 100 i;i number, have just been placed lu box cars. Everything Is ominously quiet. A brief engagement took place In the northwestern part of town between Col.
