LOCAL AFFAIRS.

    Point to rightCol. George C. Wynkoop of the 7th Penna. Cavalry, has transmitted to Gov. Curtin a report of the part his Regiment took in the Battle of Lebanon, Tennessee. The facts in it were nearly all embraced in the admirable letter from Lieut. Ricketts, of the Regiment, which we published in our last. The following additional facts are furnished by the Colonel in his report:
    "Among the prisoners taken is Lieut. Colonel Wood, (late of the United States army,) nephew of Gen. Taylor, and cousin of Mrs. Jefferson Davis and Lieut. Houston, son of Gen. Sam. Houston, of Texas.
    "Of my command there were four killed, Sergeant John Reilly, of Company L, Corporal Thomas M. Grand, of Company R, Private Henry Prime, of Company C, and Private Henry Winklebeck, of Company R; five wounded, among whom are Richard F. Mason, Regiment Adjutant, Lieut. C. S. Green, of Company C, Lieut. James G. Taylor, of Company K."
