Important from Kentucky—Deci sive Conduct of Gen. Prentiss. THE PIIILIPPI ROUT. Bptciil Dispatch to the N\ Y. Tribune. VT4.3plsc.Tox, Friday, Jan* 7, 1961, Our friend fcum Wheeling talked with an eyewitness Of the Pbilippi rant. The Indiana oolcmn came within sight of the Rebel en-1 eampment at sa. ns. No picket guard gave alarm—none appeared to have been thrown out. The Rebels were sleeping more soundly il.aa usual, in consequence of the absorption, | on the previous evening, of three or four bar- j rels of whisky, seized on a neighboring farm. | There first warning of the column's approach ■was irom a cannon ball, which carried away j the tops of a line of tents. Officers and men, ■ half dressed, took to their heels and horses.— Had not the assailants been exhausted by a 2-1 hours' march, in a heavy rain, their pursuit would have been closer and more successful than was possible under the circumstances. Iu ths tents, and along the roads, on which the j fugitives can, were found 1,400 pistols,upward i of 500 stand of actus, a largs quantity of hats caps, uniform trow sere, epaulets, and carpet sacks, In one of which there were $3OO. The roll, which was also found, showed that the, whole number of the Rebels in eanp was I,- j 940. Ouly fifteen were killed. The inhabitants of the town, who had been j driven away by the traitors,soon flocked home ward, telling of their persecutions. Young wo- 1 men and children bad been for two days in the j woods. Farmers had been robbed of their' produce, never receiving any pay. Two bun- j drcd sheep were taken from one. A forced . loan of $25,000 had been demanded of tbe 1 bank at Fairmount, and w.\6 to have been paid j two hours after the payees fled. Men were t frightened into the rebel service by assertion. - , I that if caught by the Federal armies, their ; heads would lie upon the block. For their de-1 livarers the people were ready to do every thing. They refused to accept payment lor 1 milk and other produce, which they forced up-, on jthem. Everywhere the patriot 6oidiers were welcomed. Everywhere the patriot Vir ginians were eager to join their ranks. The 1 strongest feeling sghiust Senator Mason pre-i Tails. CIXCIXXATI, Friday, Jane 7,1561. | A special dispatch from Grafton to The 1 Commercial says that Col. Kelly is much bet ter to-night, and i 3 much encouraged. His j recovery ii probable. Three companies of the 15th, three of the 16th Ohio, and three of the Clh Indian's I Regiments, and two pieces of artillery, ad vanced on riiilippi last night, making a force ' of 3,000 there. The rebels arj probably in force at Beverly, to which point they fell back from Pbilippi. Over 500' stand of arm', and; fifty horses with wagons were taker, at Philip pi- It has just been reliably ascertained that 15 bodies were found in a thicket near Philippi 1 after the fight. The Rebels hid there and the Indianians, without knowing the fact, aischrg fd their MiQie rifles into the busbca to clenr them. EXPECTED ADVANCE OF THE FED ERAL TROOPS IN VIRGINIA. VTASHIXOTOS, Jane 7, iSCI. j Six regiments of the infantry, two batterie? ' of artillery and one company of cavalry, of General NcDoweils command in Virginia, are ■ under orders to be ready to move at n moments : warning, at a certain signal either to repel at-; tack or to advance forward. Hundreds of people from tbe North have been here sojourning during the last ten days, in hourly expectation of the beginning of the conflict k Virginia, but General Scott has evi- i dcnlly been iji no hurry thus far to gratify their ! yearning for the excitement of a rencontre be- i tweea the federal forces and the rebel#. Besides tbe facts mentioned above, all the regiments oa the other side of the river havs been reinspected, and the sick and feeble re- | moved. The transportation department has beeu thoroughly organized, and traius of bag- 1 gage and commiffary wagons and ambulances ! are ready to move. Those who are waiting here to see a fight will probably not wait many days longer.— j The Commande-in Chief means not only to j move his forces upon the enemy at an early date, but to decide the fortunes of the war by j a short, effective, brilliant campaign, in Vir- j ginia and other States, during the next four; or five weeks. I can state on good authority that he lias informed the President and mem tiers of the Cabinet that he meant to have j possession of both Richmond and Memphis oa i of about the loth of July. The preseut month will doubtless become moDg the most eventful in his history. The Opinion now prevails in military circles here that no direct attack will be made on Harper's Ferry, but that the largest portion of the army now concentrated at and near Chambersburg will advance through Maryland, cross in force at Williamsport and take a position in their rear of the rebel forces at the ferry. The troops are in expectation of an attack upoa their line by the Cou f ederates from Mannasses Junction very shortly. The works beyond Arlington House, near Hoover's place, oppsite Georgetown, are being rapidly and effectually strengthened by the Uniled States force there. Thirty-six guns have tiecn mounted 01 the embankment. WHAT THE REBELS ARE DOING— WHAT THEIR AIM IS. AVASMIXTOX, Friday, June 8,1881. A trip to the interior of the Old Dominion is not unattended with somo peril. But it can be made, aad safely too, as this letter will show. The whole country, from Richmond to Mannassas Junction, is one vait camp. All the trains into Richmond arrive full of soldiers. A moderate computation would place them as large as 1,600 per day. They are well drilled and well armed ; resolate and defiant. In all Ihe depots facia R'cbmoud, troupe are to be teen. They are at all the stations, am! all the croM road?. It in qniefr difficult to get an eitimate of the men at the Junction. Great recrecy is observed. An eye sharp and unsparing is kept on all men who are looking about and are not known ; and any inquiries are attended with personal danger. The leaders kept their own connsel, and the men kuew very little of the propo. Ed movement, BEAIREGCARD is AT the Junction and leads the movements. Most of the troops work in the night, aud it is done with silence. But all things indicate concentrations and an immedi ate Tid vigorous attack. The troops are not without the elements of religous enthusiasm. Most of the command ers are ministers. One company is command ed by a clergyman, who some months ago was Moderator of the Presbytery that met in this place—who preached while he was here, and assisted at the communion. lie has under his command 30 men who are members of bis church. Nor is this a solitary case. Men can be found in the tents reading the Bible, and the voice of prayer and praise goes up frequently.from the tents. In one of flie cities through which all the troops pass, oa their way to Richmond, a daily Union prayer meeting is held It i? conduc ted not unlike the Fulton street daily meeting. The conversion of souls is the theme of prayer. Men pray to be guided in the right way, if they are wrong in the present contest. Requests are made for prayer—and the con version of the impenitent announced. The Old School Presbyterian Church could as well have taken open and decided Union ground as the time policy adopted. The South will meet with the body no more. So the men say. The Church South will follow the State, and the men south of Mason's line re gard the thing as done. AH things indicate an immediate movement. Delay will ruin the South. They w.U not wait to be attacked, but will hasten on the eonflict They believe it will be short, but de cisive. Our Government must be prepared for a sudden and terrible blow. It will come as the whirlwind. It will heat as the tem pest. But our troops are ready. IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY - DECISIVE CONDUCT OF GENERAL PRENTISS. CAIRO, 111, June C, 1801. General Prentiss, having learned that some Kentucky Secessionists had established a camp at Elliott's Mills, Ky., ten m:les from this place, sent two companies to that place.— When they arrived the enemy had fled. Colonel Wickliffe, who represents Kentucky in a semiofficial character, visited Geueral Prentiss to day for the purpose of protesting against the invasion of Kentucky soil. General Prentiss showed several letters from J-he Western part of the State, asking protection from ruffianism, and declared it his intention to send troops in whatever direction and npon .such soil as his government order ed. Israel Blane.hard, another secession sympa thizer, living at Carboudalc, has been arrest ed und sent to Springfield for tial for treasoo. THE WHEELING CONVENTION. WASHINGTON, Friday, JOAE 7, 1861. We learn from a prominent politician, who has just arrived from Wheeling, what will be tliO probable course of the Convention which meets on the 1 lib inst. All the leading men have agreed not to attempt to make a new State out of Western Virginia, but to act for the Old Dominion, as a whole, setting up a provisional Government in place of that which has, by rebellion, abdicated its power. Tife first act of the Convention will be to de pose Gov. Letcher and his rebellious asso ciates. It will then nppoiut good and true men in their places. The provisional Govern ment will probably be Gen. Jackson of Park ergburg The convention will then declare Eastcru Virginia in a state of insurrection against the General Government, from which a d to put down the rebellion will be. invoked. The Legislature chosen for the 23d n't., the members of whicn are, by its request, to toeet with the Convention, will be pronounced tna legally elected Legislature of the Slate, and will be empowered to proceed at once to the transaction of business. The Governor will send in his message to the two Houses, and two Senators, of whom John S. Carlile will probably be one, and a leading Republican the other, will be chosen. In this plan of operation Messrs Carlile, Wil.ley, Pierpont, Jackson unite. Oar infor tnsiit thinks that the Convention will be one of the grandest popular assemblages ever called together. Tne leaders are few. Behind them the people, numerous and united. In this move ment lies the hope aud salvation of the Old Dominion. Through its action, in cc>peration with that of the Federal Government,she will be transformed from a wholesale negro trade into a great commonwealth. The sentiment of Western Virginia is represented to be all one way. In 30 canities out cf 24,000 free votes, all but 2,000 were for the Union. No traitors are allowed to plot treason now.— The polls are examined, and everv voter for Secession is led, without violence, with the utmost kindness, to the Court House, where he required to take the oath of allegiance to the United States. There are very few who have uot takeu it by this time. BII.TI.UOBK, Friday, June 7,1861. The Williamsport correspondent of the Anttrican, who has shown himself to be a most careful and faithful man, writes this morning that "a number of Virginia companies at Harper's Ftrry have been disbanded,and most of the soldiers that went from Berkeley, have returned home. A deserter, who this momeut arrived here, assures me that desertions have reduced some companies to about half the original number. "Two boys of this place (Williamsport), about 17 years of age, were induced this morn ing to cross the river by two men, representing themselves as Uunionists desiring to escape. The moment they crossed, the boat was seized by hidden soldiers, and broken to pieces, and the boys carried off to the camp." A Baltimore deserter at Harper's Ferry, arrived here, lepresents a deplorable state of affairs there, lie says there is no discipline; the men are only half armed, and the food is obtained by scramble, fight, or foraging. Half of the force is watching the opportuni- I ty to desert, and he ridicules the idea of their 1 being in a condition to repel the force ap proaching from Chambersburg. lie thinks that Secession is played out iu that part of Virginia and that place will be evacuated. PaKOEKicK, Ud., Eritlay, June 7,1861. An intelligent gentleman just from Har per's Ferry reports that Jeff Dnie was ex pected there to-morrow. There was a com plete state of preparation for an attack, which is eagerly expected. Ue represents tho indications not at all fa voring the rumored evacuation. New troops are constantly arriving. 1,600 reached there last night from the interior of Virginia. Pro visions were abundant, and the men were cheerful. The strictest discipline is maintain ed. Our informant was not allowed to speak to the soldiers except in the presence of the officers. Six or eight deserters from Chsmbersburg reached there to-day and several yesterday. lie represents that there are 17,000 troops there. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.] Louis Napoleon Hostile to Jeff. Davis. PSKIS, Friday, May 17, 18G1. On Sunday last the Emperor repeated to Mr. Faulkner (on the occasion of the latter's formal parting interview) the language which I have already given you several times, as that which his Majesty habitually utters, on the question of the contest between the North and South. He assured Mr. Faulkner that he was watching the progress of events with the great est solicitude ; that he should he deeply pain ed to see a disruption of the Union; that he felt as much interest in the progress and pros perity of the American people almost as if they were a part of his own people, and terminated by making an offer of his services in any way they might be made useful to bring about a re union and an avoidance of bloodshed. M. Thou venel,Minister of Foreign Affairs,went further, and assured Mr. Sanford that not only did he approve of the course of Mr Lincoln's Admi n ignition, but that he would be glad if he could be in some way useful in aiding to put bown the rebellion. So, too, the Prince Murat, a mem ber of the Imprial family, begged to know of Mr. Sanford if thero was nit some way in which the French Government might aid in putting down the rebellion. Ccriocs Phkkomkvon.—A curious circum stance occnrred at the Hospital a day or two since. A patient there, who had become somewhat convalescent, crossed his room to the bed side af a fellow patient, and kindly cared for his wants, nursing him tenderly, and furnishing him with many little delicacies not afforded by the army regulations. Soon the convalescent natient had so far recovered as to be able to go to his Barracks—No. 5, Union Regiment. Ilis name, WALTER O. SANDFORD, was calied in the presence of the invalid, who was then apprarently too low to uotice anything. On returning to complete consciousness, lie asked if that name had been called, or had he been dreaming ? Mr. COUL TON* examined the books, and found that such was the name of the discharged patient, when to his surprise, he iearned that the twain were brothers—that they had met for the first time in six years —that they had not recognized each other in all the time they had been fel low unfortunates in the same Hospital, both suffering from an attack of the measles, and that WALTER had been for several days un consciously contributing to the comfort of his brother ZKNAS, whom he had left a mere prat tling lad by their mother's side years since.— The elder had enlisted at Rochester, and the other at Utica. Was this more coinc dence ? Or was it the workings of one of the hidden laws of mind over mind? Enlighten, us ye learned psychologieiags.— Elnira Press. COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED—IMPLEMENTS OF TRADE SECURED. —On Sunday last an impor tant arrest was made in tliis County, of Coun terfeiters. The Gate Hill House, Arthur O'Connor, lies for some time been suspected, j There were two young men arrested in J3ing- ! hamton lust week for passing counterfeit half and quarter doiiars, and from them some idea was got of the source from which they got the coin. United States Deputy Marshal B. W.I Morse, of Binghamton, carac down with his assistant, Thomas Young, on Saturday night last, and having secured tiie assistance of offi cers Farnham and Dofy, of Owego, moade a descent on the Gate Ilil! Hotel, about 5 'clock i on Sunday morning. They found Mr. O'Con nor at home, and arrested him and searched] him on the premises. On him officer Farnhani found iwo bogus half doiiars which he tried to secrete. On searching the house a Ga!run ic Batterr, Acids, and other Chemicals used in plating com were found in a trunk.— On further search ;n the bar they lound secre- j ted in the ceiling a Machine called an Edger'f for Milling the coin; also, R live dollar coun-j terfeit biil, and an important letter and other materials, such as playing cord?,copper filitngs, j charcoal, plaster of I'aris, and .many other things employed by counterfeiters. Mr. ] 0 Conner was brought to Owego and deposited iu jail, and on Sunday night taken to li:ug hamton, where he now lies for examination. I Bogus halves have of late been very com mon. We lately saw two of them in the hands 1 of a prominent Lawyer of this village which he had carelessly taken in his business transac ] tions. The style of manufacture is good, and as they are plated with the genuine metal, it is difficult at first to detect them, but alter being , n<ed for some time, they 6how the base metal They are always lighter than the genuine, and may be known easiest by a comparison of their weight with pure coin. We hope this gang will be so thoroughly broken up that this bnsi- j ness will be abandoned in this county. The bogus coin in circulation is enormous, and it becomes every person receiving silver to exam- j ine it closely. They are not all made from one die,but are cast in plaster of Paris moulds and from each mould only one is made, which j of course, bears the date of the genuine coin used. The bogus coins are of the same size, and well milled, nnd the impression as cleur and as well defined as the good mouey.— Oicego 1 Times. C&" A prominent officer of the United States Government is in Cincinnati to nego tiate for the building of a number of gnu boats, of two sizes, to be used on the lower Mississippi, as far down as the Gulf. These boats are to be of peculiar and durable build, and are to be genuine war vesseles, having accommodation for troops, magazines for all kinds of munitions and a complete armament !of guns, mortars, cannon, etc. The shipbuild ers of Cincinnati are negotiating for the con tract. " Wnr DON'T YOU TAKE IT ?"—They have got up a new device for letter envelopes in Cincinnati which is thus described by the Press:—"A stump-tailed bull dog in a cocked hat, called " Scott," stands guard over a tempting sirloin labelled " Washington," while a lean looking hound in a palmetto tile, called "Jeff," looks longingly at the viand, and sneaks away with his tail between his legs, as Scott inquirsf, "Why don't you tnke It7" §rabf(rr&|Uprtr. E. O. GOODRICH. ) rn ,TnnM R. IV. STURROCK, f e DITORB. TOWANDA : Thursday morning, June 13, 1861* THE NEWS. Dospatches froai Washington on Saturday indicate a speedy and decisive movement against the enemies of the government. It ap pears that General Scott has informed the President and Cabinet that he has resolved to have possession of both Richmond and Mem phis before the 15th of July. Active prepara tions for an instant advance are going on among the regiments on the Potomac. It is said that no direct attack o* Harper's Ferry is contemplated, but that the troops from Pennsylvania and Ohio are to surrouud that point by movements in the rear, byway of Williamsjrort. The advance of our troops to Grafton and Philippi would seem to carry oat this idea. Meantime no symptoms of an evacu ation of Harper's Ferry by the rebels aro ob served as predicted a few duyg ago. Jefferson Davis was expected to arrive there on Satur day last, for the purpose of inspecting the troops there. Letters been have just received from Major General John C. Fremont, dated in London, stating that he has purchased 10,000 Enfield rifles and several batteries of rifled cannon, for the United States Government, which he is wailing for and will bring with him. At present he is delayed uutil a portion of the rifles are finished. lie states further, that the Com missioners of the Confederate States had in structions to procure several steamers in Eng laud for the service of the Montgomery gov ernment, but that there was some difficulty about getting the money - T in fact, the need ful had not arrived from the South. They sue- ceeded, however, in purchasing two steamers, for which they paid £70,000 ($350,000). — These vessels, it appears, are to sail for a Southern port, under the British flag, and reg istered as the property of British owners, car rying nothing contraband of war, but probab ly in ballast merely. How they will be served by our blockading squadron remains to be seen. We hope they will find it somewhat dif ficult to euter any port at the South. The developments that are likely to follow the seizure of the dispatches filed in the tele graph offices will astound the country. They will show a system of tereachry extending through all grades of official business and soci al circles. Almost everybody appears to have been engaged in giving aid and comfort to the rebels, and to have furnished means and infor raation for securing a triumph of the rebellion. Members of Congress from Free States figure frequently among these flashes of intelligence. Reporters for Northern Free-Soil papers hand ed in to the telegraph office the knowledge they had obtained through their F'ree-Soil professions. Even the members cf the Peace Congress, and some from Free States, held out words of encouragement to the rebel lead ers, that if they would keep up the tire they would break the Free-Saiiers down. Several of the members of that Convention from the Border States gave regular reports of its pro ceedings to the rebels, while at the same time they were insisting that tiie proceedings should be kept from the Northern Press and public. Col. KKl.LET, wounded at the brilliant affair at Phillippa, we are glad to state is reported much better, and there is now a strong prob ability of his recovery. The position at Phillip pa is being rapidly strengthened by the Fed eral troop*, some three thousand having b.en concentrated there since the rout of the rebels who are now supposed to be in force at Bever ly, the Capital of Randolph County, about twenty-fonr miles southeast of Phillippa. It has been reliably nsscertair.ed' that the loss of life on the part of the rebels was considerably greater than at first supposed—some fifteen of their dead bodies having been found in a thicket. The obsequies attending the removal of Judge L)OLT,I.A' remains from Chicago, where he died, to Washington, took place on Friday last, and were attended with every demonstra tion of respect, net only in Chicago, but in several other places. Iu Chicago business was generally suspended, and the streets on the line of the procession were densely packed with sorrowing citizens. The progress of the pro cession was marked by the tolling of bells and the firing of minute guns. The movements of troops, already frequent ly referred to and explaiucd, is going on.— Monday three battallions of District Volun teers pns*ed throngn Georgetown, and two : Connecticut, one New-Hampshire, and the 9th I New-York Regiment, broke up their camps, and started from Washington, proposing to join the District Volunteers three miles from Georgetown, going thence'to Edward's Ferry, on the Potomac, a point half way between Washington and Harper's Ferry. It is thought that several regiments on the Virgin jia side, and an Ohio regiment, were immedi ately to march in the same direction. The Rhode Island Regiment had followed their battery to the Relay House, but whether they 1 were to move from that place toward Harper's Ferry remained in doubt. By request of Gov. Ilieks and otjhers, a hrigade was to be sent to Fredrick City, a stronghold of disloyalty, with the design of keeping the traitors in j order. A gentleman, who is said to have gained his information directly from Gen. Scott, declares that no important movement will be made from Alexandria toward the enemy till tha for tifkations on that side of the river bare been completed and made as far u possible, impre gnable. A dispatch from Cincinnati says that the 11 lb Indiana Zbnaves have taken Cumberland, Md , thence raeouing to go to join Gen. Pat terson. Cumberland is 101 miles from Graf ton and 97 miles from Harper's Ferry. Trustworthy intelligence, tit a late hour, from Harper's Ferry, states that the rtbelsare retreating. Many wagons have been Beized from farmers ia the vicinity of Winchester, and are engaged in transporting the troops to Strasborg, whence tbey will go by rail to Ma nassas Junction, it is now doubtful if our columns combine in season to make the large capture they expected, it therefore seems that the Rebels have given up all hope of aid from Maryland, end that they are to rely on making a stand at the Junction. That point is strongly fortified. The cannon are in a semi circle about the railroad station. A man who says he has accurate informa tion as to the plans of the Rebels states that they have an idea of attacking Washington while it is partially bereft of troops, and that a movement to this end will take placo by Thursday. We learn from Ilagersfown that the rebel Virginians have been busy for several days in destroying, and attempting to destroy, canal boats, locks, bridges, and dams. They are also obstructing the river in every way they can invent. In ORTANT PAPERS SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEIZED. —The Washington Star of the 30lh ult, says: "We hear that among the effects of the Alexandria Srntmel office, new iu the cus tody (but wholly uninjured) of the troops of the United States, are certain letters of great importance, as showing the means by which the revolution of Virginia was accomplished ; implicating the writer and others in treason and conspiracy against the United States, to such an extent as that if they full into the bands ef the Government, the law to its ex treme ex'ent can hardly tail to be brought to bear upon their cases. The letters are believed to prove, beyond the possibility of denial, that the adoption of tbe ordinance of s>eceision by the Virginia Convention was the result of fraud, usurpation, and terrorism an surpassed iu the history of civilized government—of na ked and palpable revolution, to the end of entirely sweeping away at a blow the liberties of the State, in order to place in the hands ot the conspirators and their instrument, for life, the entire machinery ol the government of Virginia." THE STATE LOAN. —The Slate of Pencayl- I vania wauls to borrow Three Million of dol- ! !urs to arm the Stale for ilg # defense. Propo- j sals for said loan are advertised. It offers a j sure and safe divestment,- from which will 1 always be realized sis per cent, interest, r it is free from any taxation whatever, and pro visions have been made by the Legislature not onlj for the inirrst, but also for a sinking fnnJ ; for the principal—and it can be had, also, in i amount from one hundred dollars up to.a thousand, thus giving the opportunity to all \ our citizens, whether of large or moderate means, of sustaining the credit and assisting our State in Ler vigorous offorts in behalf of I our common country.

LEGISLATIVE GUARD ACCEPTED. —It will be recollected that at the close of the late session of the Legislature a number of the members ■ formed themselves into a " Legislative Guard," j electing the Speaker of the House captain, and tendered their services to the Governor. The tender of these patriotic gentlemen has been j accepted, and orders issued for them to mus ter at Camp Curtin on or before the 15th of this month. An opportunity is now offered : them to do the State some service, and win laurels in the defence of "the flag of our Un- j ion." Of course the members of the L p gisla- j tive Guard will all be on band at the time specified, agreeably to orders from the Com mander-in-chief. Capt. DAVIS is now at Har risburg, awaiting the arrival of bis company. J CASSICS M. CLAY, American Miuister to Russia, has written a letter to the London Timet on the American struggle, in brief but decisive terms. He says that the rcvoltid Slates can be subdued, but it is not proposed to subjugate them, but simply to put down rebel liouists. England's true interest is to stand by the Union. He inquires if England can af ford to offend the United States, and is Eng land so secure against home revolution and foreign ambition, as to venture to sow the seed of revenge? lie concludes by asserting that England is the natural oily of the United States. The Wur is having some effect on the flour and grain market. Tho demand for flour has much increased of late for army sup plies, and prices are much firmer. The ship j ping demands is considerable, though prices are falling off in the European markets while rising here. The Western graneries are be ginning to pour upon the East and on Eu rope the great accumulation of last year's pro duce. The movement checked to the South is increased to the East ; and the large Govern ment wants will be easily supplied, leaving still a large surplus for shipmeut. W _ NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL. —Gov.
