APOLOGY.
it is now three weeks since the last issue of
T HE P IL OT. We may state briefly, by way of
a p o logy, chit the Publisher had been quite ill
with fever fur a couple of weeks; and he is
just now recovering sufficiently to be about the
office again. Jon, the only other compositor
in the office, was taken ill about the same time.
Neither feel strong enough to do much work,
so that our subscribers will have to be content
with a "half sheet" this week. We trust
they will pardon the past, and we will try to
do better io the future.

THE NEWS.
The netts of the Federal possession of Fort
Sumter, flashed over !virth6fti wires, on last
Saturday night. It seems that on Sunday
nitzht, Nov. Ist. a night attack was made in
beats. *bleb terminated successfully, leaving
the 14-ith Pennsylvania Regiment, in pos.
Feasion of the works. The news was obtained
from a captain of one of our vessels We
have now hoisted the flag of our country upon
the very spot vfittre it was first degraded by
the suuthern Rebels.
General Sharon!n hes rermslly assumed com•
!nand of the ilepartment of Tennessee, and
has issued a series of important orders fur its
government and better lustrudtions of his 'sub
alterns. (lenses! Grant said feeently that he
eur4dered Genets! Sherman one of the very
be t lacers in the United atatea Army. Gen
S A. Hurlbut, who commands the Sixteenth
Army Corps, harder Genets! Sherman, has is
sued an order which puts an end to the "dot
tun fever" which has recently raged su fiercely
among our Generals.
General Meade has sent his sick and Wolin&
ad men to Washington, and will soon make
anotlier forward woven/eat. The Rebels hold
the line of the Rappahannock River from
Sulphur Springs to Falmouth. Our cavalry
$1.60
1.73
2.00
forces have been thrown forward, and we may
expect to hear of stirring events in a few days.
The army is in good conditbin, and anxious
for activity.
The INlettitihis papers of the ld report briefly
the repulse of the Rebel Maitiaduke, who at=
tanked the Union garrison et seven hundred
men at Pine Bluff. Arkansas. The Rebel fdtce
consisted of three thousand then, who were de.
fated with considerabld loss.
A Rebel force, said to dotis.ist of part of
three companies of Casteele's MCC, made a raid
to within two and a half MiltS of 11elena
week before last, stopping a wagon traiii and
capturing a small number of indica. At last
accounts our forces were in parsuit of the
enemy.
Knoxville dates to the 4th inst., announce
East Tennessee as being cleared of Rebel
troops, excepting guerrillas, who infest the
country and harrass nur wagon trains. The re
cent fight at Roan Springs resulted in the de
feat of the Rebels, who lost sixty nine killed
and wounded.
1863.
Ou last Tuesday morning Major Fritzgibbon,
with one hundred and twenty men of the Thir
teenth Michigan ; encountered- the guerrilla
forces of Kirk, Cooper, Scott and Williams, at
Lawrenceburg, capital of Lawrence county,
and after a severe fight put then] to rout, kil
ling and wounding a number, and capturing
twenty four prisoners. A forage train, sent
out by Bragg, Was captured in the Lookout
valley and sent into our camp, the train guard
being also taken prisoners.
In the recent fight with the Rebels near the
Tennessee River, General hooker's troops en
countered their old enemy, Longstreet's
Corr, and defeated him at every point.
The fight was waged during the dark hour of
midnight, and our loss will reach near three
hundred killed and wounded. Gen. :31eigscout
pliments highly the galhuttry of the Eleventh
Corps. Major General floward, who advanc
ed without firing a shot, charged up and over
it steep and densely wooded hill, and drove
the Rebels at the bayonet.point front their
position. Their timely-arrival to the assistance
of General Geary decided the contest, which
Langstreet designed should be brief, ;.-01 he ex
pected to speedily overthrow Geary by attack
ing%,itu with his whole corp. A second time
his the "Hower of Lee's army find Virginia
chtvalry" beim defeated in Northern- georgiit,.
and it looks much.as if their prestige had
parted.
