October 23.—A supply train which left Nashville, Tenn., this morning, under a guard of thirty men belonging to the Seventieth Indiana regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Campbell, was thrown from the track, at a point five miles below Tullahoma, the rails having been removed by a band of rebels. The members of the train had but a moment’s time to reflect upon the state of things, when the rebels charged upon hem with a terrific fire. The assault was bravely met by the guard, and the assailants were compelled to retire in confusion after an engagement of fifteen minutes.—Dr. D. W. Wright, of Norfolk, Va., was executed this morning for the murder of Lieutenant Sanborn.
