A Lady's Journey from Richmond to Philadelphia, THROUGH TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY. (Concluded from yesterday.) [For the Press.] Nashville looks like a city long in building, and not yet finished ; there is an old and yet an incom plete air about it. Bare my passport took me, and no farther. I had a letter of introduction to a gentleman in the city. who was extremely courteous, and showed me every attention I could expect. Through his in quiries, I found I would have to get another pass port to the State line. Now, there are two powers in 'Nashville, General Foster, the commanding offi cer. and the Committee on Passports. As I already had one from the Secretary of War, I found I must go to Gen. Foster. So the next morning I went, accompanied by the proprietor of the hotel, as Mr. G. expected to be absent. We drove to the Capi tol, a very beautiful building, by the way ; but I was too anxious to know my fate, and too fearful I would be sent back, to pay much attetittell t 9 ar chitectural beauties. We entered a large roan, well filled with civilians and soldiers. At one end of the room was a table, and back of the table Gen. Foster. After we had sat a few moments in re spectful silence, and were more accuttomed to his august presence, he advanced to us. "Miss Smith is desirous of obtaining a passport to the line," said Mr. S., presenting my passport and the letter to Mr. G., who, thinking it might be of service to me, ba4 very thoughtfully sent it. This letter, which was written on their Govern ment paper, and stamped with the department to which the writer belonged, was attentively read by Gen. Foster. Then he examined my passport. " Where is Mr. G. ?" he asked. Mr. S. explained. "8e must come her Ido not know who this B. B. is." " He is Judge 8., of Virginia," I remarked. "Oh. :You wish to visit Louisville, Miss Smith? How long do you wish to stay there ?" " I simply wish to pass through." "Where to ?" "Philadelphia." "Judge B. says you wish to visit Louisville. How is this ?" .g. 9 WA his head ominously, and I began to quake. "He knew I wished only to pass through. I suppose he thought Mr. G. could assist me no far ther than Louisville, and asked no more." "Are you a native of Philadelphia r -- , 4 I am." " How long have you - been in Virginia ?" I told bins. " Where have you been ? I told him this, also. "Do you expect to return ?- "No, sir.'' "Well, Mr. S., I have no time to attend to this young lady; hut I will save Mr. G. and her trouble," So saying, he wrote a few lines on the hack of the envelope, and handed the letter back. When we reached the street I examined the letter. He had written: "The Committee on Passports will please examine this lady.--Fosrun.'; I had fancied his questions were nearly particu lar enough, and hoped the committee would con sider my personal opinions of no importanCe, and let there pass. Mr. G. fortunately was still in the city, and he soon came and took me over to the court-house • The room in which the.committee sat had been used for public speaking, but the benches were pushed back and a table placed in front of the platform, where a few men sat in high statg, Dirg I was re-examined, wrote my name in a book, took an oath that all I had said was -true, that I would not come back, and that I would give no informa tion injurious to the Southern Confederacy; got my passport to the State line, and offered myself secret and private congratulations. Mr. Fogg, the president of the committee, advised me, if I had any letters, to have them read and stamped at the post office, or to destroy them. Afterwards, Mr. G. Ath'ind hid to burn them, as they might be a cause of detention. And although they were simply family letters I was carrying to es of a private individuals, I thought it best. So, that = • re..c , --.try made a bonfire of them. One of them had slipped hviween the le book, and this I forgot until I miles fiord" Nashville. _ • • •• • • : eAableNin the morning at' - three O' s eloek when I went into the hall and found my fellow-Dae . Cengers slatvering in the chilly night air. When I reached the depot and went to the office to get my ticket I pressed through a room where, all huddled together, were these Irish One of them was as much astonished at seeing me as I was hor rified at seeing them, and lifting up her head, cried out: " You, look here !" As my business lay in an opposite direction, and I supposed they called me from curiosity, I did not "look here," but went on. After the cars had fairly started, and I was very comfortably seated, with my eyes closed, a slight commotion attracted my attention. I looked up— at the other end of the ear stood a small group, pic turesquely lighted up by a lantern. I felt as if I had awakened in France or Russia, so different was this from anything 1 bad seen in America before. The front figure was that of a boy, who held the lantern; backcf him theeonduotor, examining tick ets, and behind him two soldiers, who reminded me of gems d'armes, asking for passports and question ing the passengers. I had abundant opportunity of watching them as they came slowly up the long, narrow, and half.lighted car. The gentlemen, who seemed to regard it a frolic, were very closely ques tioned—asked if they had letters, which they were required to give up ; how mush money they had— for they were not allowed to carry a supply into the " enemy's " country. Several unfortunate fellows without passports, or from other reasons suspicious, were carried back when they reached the line. One lady, who had carelessly passed through Nashville without making the proper inquiries, was sent back to get a passport_ Finally, they came to me, asked me for my letters. I referred them to the one in my trunk. They asked a few questions, and satis fied passed on. When we reached the State line, of course we were obliged to change cars, as the Tennessee oars could not very well pass into Kentucky. Our bag gage was carried into a depot, and opened in the midst of a gazing crowd of men. A gentleman, who had a lady under his charge, very kindly of fered to attend to my baggage with hers, and spare use the trouble of going out. The examiners pulled the things out of the trunks with no care at all, until this gentleman called to them that that was no way to treat a lady's clothes. "No," ex claimed one, " it is a shame, for they are mighty nicely packed." The compliment was poor remuneration for the annoyance. They then came to a number of Southern newspapers I had been saving for some and was very anxious of preserving. One of the men called out, " Look here, boys, hero are some Riebmond papers; let's take them to read." The gentleman called to an officer, who commanded them to put them back; but when I reached home and came to look for them they were gone. The scamps had taken them. Worse than this, they took a dollar and a half from another trunk. k Davis thinks it necessary to examine all baggage, it would be as well for him to have honest men to conduct it. This examination was very superficial. They tumbled out the contents, saw there were no largo contraband articles, and put them in again. I hid a number of private papers I did not want them to seize, so I had laid them smoothly in the bottom of my trunk, and packedßy music tightly and close ly over them. As I haMoped, they thought there was nothing there but music, and did not take it out. The letter they also failed to find. When they get better used to the business, they may do it better. One unfortunate lady had her trunks pacled so tightly that they could not repack them, so they sent some of the articles in for her to carry. I do not think any baggage was stopped, but, at any time, it would be very easy to carry almost anything through. A lady, some time since] going_ South, was searched in Louisville, yet, in each plait of the very full and abundant trimming on her dress end mantle, she carried a percussion cap; they were not even suspected. And it is a notorious fact, that a very large number of the small arms in Virginia were carried through Kentucky by ladies. I assure you I was glad when my checks and keys were handed me, and I was fairly on my way into Kentucky, with nothing to fear but such trivial accidents as the pulling up of rails or the burning of bridges, circumstances, I was assured, very pos sible, and the rate at which we whizzed along would have rendered an accidogt very terrible, Our hotel, for breakfast, was very different in its appearance from any of the previous ones on the route. It was a little log house, with- two rooms, apparently; in each a table was spread for a dozen, perhaps. Close by the table, in the ono I was in, was a bed, and, from the tossed and tumbled bed-clothes, a sleepy little child peeped out at the travellers. Instead of colored waiters, young, fresh-looking girls, in the shortest waisted dresses, waited on us, and served us to a good, hot, country breakfast of coffee, biscuit, fried chicken, ham, and eggs. I think it was at Bowling Green I saw the first United States flag I had seen since I left Phila delphia. It looked like en old friend. When I last Mr it, it waved over a larger territiry, and the Confederates had not even planned theirs. I felt a sense of protection as I passed under its sha dow, and looked tip to its waving in the sunlight. The conversation now was wonderfully changed. I heard no more of the invincibility of the South, but all of the complete success of the North. True, there were strong uppoueuts cf the Fredent Administre , lion, but they were still Union mop ; probably many were Secessionists, but they were quiet. We proved the croakers false prophets by reaching Louisville that afternoon without meeting any accident from either Secessionists or Union men. We found the city quite excited. Gen Anderson was expected on Monday, when it was thought he would establish martial law ; it was rumored, like wise, thnt the traits bstiteeti Nashville and Louis ville would be stopped on Monday. In view of these events. Southerners in Louisville were much ex cited; many were locking their houses, and, leav ing them in that condition, were flying Southward. In fact, all trains gelfig South were packed full with refugees. Many were passing through, going either North or South, to save their property from confiscation. I found many on the boat to Cin cinnati the next day, going to Ohio and other free States, where they held property, in order to keep it. Many left much behind them, but wore anxious to save the more valuable estates North. One lady left her house and furniture in Tennessee, while her money was held in Ohio by the authorities there as a pledge for her return. When we left Louisville, my first sensation in look- ing at the Ohio river was one of disappointment. It was very pretty, but I expected something very fine, and as we advanced the shores became higher and more picturesque, until the beautifully wooded hills and rich foliage made it indeed %!

And when the sunset gilSMa added their lustre to the deep w*rs, 'and the young moon defined her clear-cut :crescent against the, sky, I felt like a discoverer of a new and beautil ful world.

The brilliant scarlet that was dash ed into the weeds in Vrginia had been fading gradually away, and here in Ohio the autumn leaven were dull and yelhiw. In accordance with my admirable plan of pass ing through when possible, I crossed the moun tains in Pennsylvania also at night, and what I saw of the scenery the next morning made me bitterly regret it. It was of a different character from any I had yet seen, and more beautiful. I do not know whether Western Virginia is not as fine, but as I saw so little of it I cannot judge. But there is an air of comfort, neatness, and olog,auee about the houses in Pennsylvania that is very different from the general appearancti of any of the other four States I passed through. In the slave States, the houses on the route were, if not rougher, more dila pidated, ard the quarters close to the house de prived it of an air of neatness. In Ohio, they gave one the impression of a new country. In fact, tra velling anywhere, the youth, of the country is ma nifest, as well as itrotrength and energy. None of theta States had thb•whito mansions, with pretty latticed 'porches araas' them, and neatly enclosed lawns and gardens, in *such rapid succession. In fact, the people showed their taste and thrift, as well as their wealtli. I saw nothing splendid, very few fine e-titi handsome mansions, but very many very pretty Arm houses and cottages. The ears seeded- to make poor speed between Harrisburg and Philidelphia, my impatient desires travelled so rapidly. At last I laid down the Phi ladelphia paper I hid secured as en old friend, thinking, with a half sigh, " It will be at least an hour before we reach Philadelphia," and, looking up, I saw we were' just entering the city. Union Feeling in North Carolina Ttio intelligent gentlemen recently arrived in New: York from North Carolina, and informed the editor of the Times that a strong Union feeling exists in nary pats of the state. Among other things, they jaid : . " Letters Fad been received from Raleigh, stating thatthe Legislature was in session when the capture was announced, and that the Union members rose in their planea, and cheered and slllll7lff their Just; and were eo neje.) , in their rejoicings that all busi• nets -was for the time suspended. The same feeling, to a considerable' extent, pervaded the people of that city. tima p a It was gen " :understood that very many more of the lb ' " - ' would have flocked in to the "Union map 'n_anken the oath of allegiance, but tnat.tm - ey wervvented by the Secession troops who linedolim coast. The main support of the' re .bellion is the belief, wide-spread and zee/Gusty, etielutfted by the leaders, that the Northern armies will break up !belt houses, destroy their property, and subject the whole country to a bru tal and licentious soldiery. The lower and more ignorant classes, who are made to believe these things, are extremely violent against the North, but the more intelligent, who know them to he, fag, Ate by b "try large majority Union men. Two Secessionists were recent].) publicly discussing the subject of the blockade. On insisted that the South could stand it two years, while the other de clared that 'unless it should be broken within. one year, the South, would be ruined. A !Jain man Who Wood by thanked him for an admission so fatal to the Secession cause—and the crowd cheered the I sentiment. I A " Warrior Candidate." [For The Preee.] It has been the custom of nations, ancient and modern, to reward citizens who have distinguished themselves in civil life, or who have drawn their swords in defence of the capital. It has remained for the debris of the Democratic party, represented by the late James Buchanan, and that disloyal Senator from Kentucky who is now a fugitive from his native State in a Secession camp, to re. ward virtue of a very different sort. They have nominated for Senator in this district —composed of Union, Lycoming, Centre, and Clin ton—William H. Blair, who is styled by an editor who desert-es to be inside of Fort Lafayette for his treasonable utterances, Lithe warrior earalltiate." Let w see what his claims ire to martial renown. He belonged to the Fourth Pennsylvania Regiment, of which General McDowell said, in his official re port of tie Bull Run battle, that, although solicited by both himself and the Secretary of War to stay, they raised with a few honorable exceptions, and, on the /Miming of the engagement, "marched home to the siege of the enemy's cannon." Blair march ed with tem. It is true, the captain of his com pany . ceitifies that he opred to stay. The great fact is patent that he did not remain behind, but marched home with those miserable men who have disgraced their mothers and sisters, and, as far as they could the Comihonwealth of Pennsylvania. There titre several gentlemen connected with that regimlnt who were so indignant at its desertion of the flagtt a time when the enemy's guns .were thunderingmnder the very walls of our capital that they pmainad and joined other regiments. But our Prior candidate," although he must have been even then coveting senatorial honors, was not onnof them. If the .14rokinridgers are successful with this military her, we may next hear of them trying the patients of tire people by asking theta to sleet " the sleepyaentinel," or some one of those Fire Zeuaveswle "fell back " at Bull Run, and never stopped till they reached New York. It is tray unpleasant to indulge in personalities, but Mr. itlair's friends, in putting him forward as a " warrie candidate," have rendered him liable to oritioisp, What cairn has k for reward? 'What has he done to sato the lustre of Pennsylvania's renown, or repel theinsolent foe who threatens our capital? Did he slam himself in the " imminent deadly breach?' ;Did he play the part of lloratius Notes or Leonh4s Or did he not rather act on the principle 44 he who "Runs away, May live to light another day 1" What encouragement is there for men to do their whole duty, when a man who does not do half his duty can ,iv elected to a high and honorablo pool lion? But it is not possible that any considerable number of men can vote for Mr. Blair. He is a fit candidate of the party who are eternally crying out " peace! peace!" when they know there is not, nor can there at present be any peace. CLINTON, The Sheriffalty (For The Press.] ?tizzy I solicit a place in your paper briefly to express my hearty approval of the nomination of Alderman John Thompson for sheriff of the county of Philadelphia? In the early and palmy days of the Republic, when a man was placed in nomination for any office in the gift of the people, the first and all-important questions asked were, is he honest? is he capable? Such were the prerequisites for office. In modern times, and during the last quarter of a century, these questions and these qualifications have been entirely ignored, mid the only question has been, does he belong to' our party? I rejoice to have lived to see the dawning of a better day ; the re turn to old-fashioned, honest principles ; to Union and harmony in promoting the good, the honor, and the glory of our country, instead of pargsan favoritism. In the nominee we have A speotmiin of that honesty of purpose, liberal qualifications, and unsurpassed love of country, such as our fathers delighted to honor. I have known Mr. Thompson more than thirty years, while a young man assiduously toiling, like Benjamin Franklin, in his printing office. I know his honesty, his in telligence, his unobtrusive persistence in the con. scions discharge of his duty. I am now an old man, having, on all proper oc casions, deposited my vote in the ballot-box during a period of more than half a century, and having now no ongootatione of aloe or reward, /11.111 i co; my vote, though it may be my last, for honest John Thompson, and I hope my fellow-oitizens will do likewise.

General Buckner had gone with a portion of his *Zaps through Hopkinsville, Greenville, and other Ames, and taken arms wherever they sould Snd them. The troops at Bowling Green believe that 30,000 additional troops are daily waiting -but an hour's notice to come into Kentucky. A htiiiiesippi regi ment recently came to Bowling given; expooting to come directly through and occupy Louisville, and remain there. - Some mercenary Unionists are finding army em ployments for themselves and servants, and a mar lot for their produce, and give unmistakable evi dence of yielding to Secession. ~ The Bulletin of the 2d says 800 or 1,000 rebel troops took possession of Ilopkinsville on Monday afternoon, and the 400 Union troops, under capt, Jackson, were falling back to Henderson. Reports were also in circulation that General Buckner, with 5,000 rebel troops, would attack Spotsville on Thursday. It was also rumor.* that General Zollicolfer Ina retreating towardarßarboursville. Win. Mure, the British consul at New Orleans, arrived to-day, and has gone Eastward. The proceedings of the Kedtucky Legislature have been unimportant. The Adtance of Zollicoffer—Excitement in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Times, of Wednesday evening, in discussing the late movements in Kentucky, says Our intelligence today is of such a eharaCter SS to dispel every doubt in regard to the intention of the Confederate troops ,to occitpu Kentucky in great force. At a late hour last night word reached this city that Gen. Zollicoffer, of Tennessee, was advancing, with not less than twenty-ssysn. am -sand men, to attack the kederal troops at Camp "Dick Robinson." This move is of the most omi nous character. It is not worth while to disguise the fact that our troops in Kentucky are in more danger than any other detachment of the Fat the attack; our Kentucky lic9F9S i§ avowing' and r in a t l en s d e s ri t i o ce. con G i eL ne Z e ol soldiers are threatened by an immediate assault, and an assault conducted by largely superior num bers. M. L. B The excitement in Cincinnati last evening, eon pqmsont upon the receipt of the news from Zo eoffer, was very great. We had almost despaired of ever seeing some of our prominent citizens worked up in regard to the importance of carrying the war into Kentucky, instead of suffering the Confede rates to bring it to the banks of the Ohio. They hove come to the eonelusion, however, thitt iosne thing is really going on, and no time is to be lost. The late mn0.....05ts or the en the Poto mac hove been of an inexplicable character, but no doubt can be entertained in reference to the re bel operations in Kentucky. The Hue of fell - VOW through Eastern Tennessee is of the highest int bortance to the Southern Confederacy. This line is the very spinal marrow of Beauregard's great army in Virginia. All its life and resources flow from the Cotton States through this channel. Oar advance into Kentucky rendered it necessary for Beauregard and Davis to order the passage of the Cumberland Gap, and a regular invasion of the State. General Mitchell is exerting himself with com mendable zeal, and before the week shall dose he will bevy a body of men on the dark and bloody ground, able to meet the approaching storm. A great battle mvst occur, and occur shortly. Zolli coffer cannot afford to delay an hour. He knows the Ohio and Indiana troops are swarming over the river. and IROVilly, with the greatest vtpidity toward Southern Kentucky to crush him before the arrival of reinforcements from Tennessee and Virginia. We may, therefore, look for a collision at any moment. More Outrages of the Rebel Troops. — The Louisville Journal says that the tailing of Manchester, in Clay county, by Zsdlicoffer and his men, was attended with great destruction of pro perty. We have the same information in regard to all places in Kentucky captured or overrun by the invaders from Tennessee. In every instance pri vate possessions are seized, theft and robbery are committed_ and acts of wanton destruction perpe trated in defiance of all the laws of war among civilized nations. There is no more forbearance or moderation—no more respeet for national law or the ordinary demands of common humanity—in the deeds perpetrated by our Tennessee invaders than in the proceedings of the wildest and most relentless savages that over made an incursion among the abodes of civilization. Difficulty between Generals Anderson and Mitchell—Reported Supersedure of Gen. millerson. _ _ _ A despatch to the Herald says General McCook arrived at Washington on Thursday, with instruc tions to present to the President and Cabinet and General Scott a statement of the condition of mili tary affairs in Kentucky, and along the Ohio river. It appears that a misunderstanding of some nature has sprung up between General Anderson and (ten& ral Mitchell, involving points of professional •"" cacy, which precludes a cordial 0 0 .,,-.4litton be tween these commanders. Geusfal McCook was the bearer of a request that some other officer should be ()whiled to the command of these depart ments. Iftt had an interview with the offtcers yr the Goverment last night and to-day, and ex plained My the purpose of his mission. It is un derstood that the conference has resulted in the appointinent of General McCook to the command of the department of Kentucky, and that this se lection will not only be agrees 1. to Gen. Mitchell and Gen. Anderson, who ie suffering_grom ill health, but will also insure a promo and eneetli, 11 , 4 1 1 , 1 ; 1l j g _ tration of the campaign in Kentucky aIICI d ou g the Ohio. The announcement that Gen. McCook is to take charge of the department of Kentucky has given great satisfaction to the Kentuckians in Washing ton, They Me General Anderson, but have been continually under apprehensions that his ill health would prevent his acting with the energy they deemed all important at this crisis. They want to make short work of the campaign in Kentucky, and then proceed to the liberation of Tennessee. AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI. Sr. Louis, Oct. 3.—The report contained in the despatches published in thisafternoon's papers, that Cerium! Fremont hid bocii removed, created in tense indignation among the mass of the Unionists, and great rejoicing among the Secessionists. A recruiting rendezious for an Irish regiment was closed on receipt of the news. A meeting in the second ward this evening, for the formation of a Home Guard, adjourned with out action. A gentleman who visited Benton Barracks this afternoon reports that the greatest excitement ex ists among the troops there, amounting almost to mutiny. ' A mass meeting has been called, to be held on Saturday, for an expression of popular opinion here relating to the removal of Fremont. Col. McKie:dry bas been ordered to the Depart ment of the Cumberland, in Kentucky. A gentle man. from Sarcoxie says Judge Chenault had hung nine men for loyalty to the Union. ST. Louis, Oct. 4.—The following special de spatch has bocn received by the .Democrat : JraTBRBOri CITY, Oct. O.—Gentlemen who have arrived this evening from Sedalia confirm the re port of the evacuation of Lexington by the rebels, and also bring intelligence of its partial occupation by Gen. Sturgis. Major Baker, of the Home Guards, who was among the prisoners taken at Lexington, and who refused to give his parole, escaped from the rebels on Monday night. He arrived at Sedalia this morning. He says that all the -rebels left Lexington on Monday afternoon, and that their rear guard, laid left, was fired upon with shells by General Sturgis, who just then appeared on the opposite side of the river; and several were wounded. win they first left Lexington, Maio! Baker thinks it was the intention of Pride to march di rect on Georgetown; but information having been brought to him that General Siegel was advancing with 40,000 men, he moved westward, towards In dependence. Whether the main body of the rebeli paraded this route for any distance, Major Baker is una ware, as during the confusion" among the rebels upon the reception of the news of the large force of TWO CENTS. Siegel, and the reported pursuit by Shires in .the rear, be made his escape. He thinks General Price's effective force num bers about 25,000, in addition to which Irs , has some 15,000 irregular troops, whose principal occupation is foraging, But this portion of the army had pretty much left the main body before Baker escaped. Gen. Siegcl. who conanands our advance guard. had all his preparations made for an attack last night, and bad the enemy made his appearance, ho would have met with a warm rieeption. Our forces are mostly stationed at Otterville, Se dalia, and Georgetown. The distance from Otter villa to Sedalia is twelve miles, and from Sedalia to Georgetown four miles. We have also something of a force under Gm, Pope at Booneville, may twenty-fire miles north east of kiednlia. Is St. Louin in Danger The Ximouri Democrat,in an article discussing tbiv qualm, guya; • The Seoesmonicts of the city pretend to fake great comfort in the notion that the cry of " On to Lex ington' has driven Fremont out of St. Louis, and left the city open to the attank of either Hardee from the direction of Greenville, or Jeff Thomp sea /fora the neighberheed of New Madrid. Mc- Culloch, too, it is rumored, has not joined General Price, nor does he intend to join him, but is che rishing designs upon Rolla. We are surprised that this kind of talk is giving real alarm to many of our Union friends-. There is not a particle of li4ll - Gen. Fremont has taken away from our neigh borhood a large army, but he has also provided for all the contingencies that may happen to ui. /ronton is now in possession of three Illinois regi ments, which are sufficient to checitany demonstra tion from Hardee. Jeff. Thompson dare not push on to the northward for fear of the superabun dant forces at Cairo and Bird's-Point, which would surely fall in upon his rear, and make an easy capture of him. Rolla is guarded by two regiments, and can be-fully-reinforesed r ilk.well aa Ironton, in half a day. ; Admitting the possibility that all these points may be turned against us, and that the enemy, in force, will advance upon the city—still there is no serious cause for alarm. There are to-day ten thou sand troops in camp. around' St. Louis, and within forty-eight hours- as- many more could be commanded from the camps in Illinois and Indiana. The fortifications around the city, for the construe. Lion of which Gen. Fremont has- been so lavishly abused, are completed, and by the elm of this week are expected to be fully mounted with the heavy guns now in the city intended for them. Can anything further be provided for our safety? We think all apprehensions may be fully and finally dismissed.. Importance of the - Osage. Should the enemy design an attack upon Jeffer son City, almost the first step in the execution of the plan would be the destruction.of the bridge acme lbe clop river, The capital of the State would thus be virtually insulated from St. Louis and the East, far it would consume much most valuable time to reconstruct the bridge, or to con vey troops and munitions over the broad stream without it, especially in the face of. the obstacles which the enemy would certainly interpose. it is of vital consequence that this bridge be preserved intact for the transit of our forces eastward or west; ward, as circumstances shall require. Whereabouts of General Prentiss, The Quincy Herat , of October Ist, says that Mr. Bowen, the express messenger who reached that city on Monday night from St.. Joseph, states that General Prentiss was at Chillicothe, on the liannibal and St. Joseph Railroad. • .Chillicothe is a station about forty miles north of Lexington. General Prentiss bad about three thousand troops with him_ From remarks made by different per sons at Chillicothe during the brief stoppage of the train, Mr. Bowen was given to understand that Ge neral Prentiss apprehended an attar* by the rebel forces, but by what number , or under whose com mand, Mr. Bowen was not informed. How our Union Troops at Springkeld, Mo., are Treated. Of the Union troops wounded at Wilson's creek, near Springfield, Mo., one hundred and seventy six still -remain in the possession of the rebels at Springfield, and while the Union ladies of the vi cinity and some of the rebel officers treat them kindly, a correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat says They are 4pt fn a eon ftant state of anxiety by the threats and bullying innfitS which are daily heaped upon them, not by the head men, but by a set of ragamuffins who constantly prowl about the d streets, and infest the hospitals for the purpose of venting their 110710711071 s spleen on dzsabled and helpless men,. From what I saw I am inclined to think Col. T. T. Taylor, Dr. Russell, and Major Gunning are, naturally, gentlemen, and disposed to extend courtesies and kind treatment towards our sick and wounded; but have even heard some of the higher officers in command saw thot if the _Federal. shoot Melt ma, they will most aourediv I ardently hope, itm numanity s Bake in general, and for the sake of our brave wounded in particidar, that some ar rangement will he made to bring them away—to bring them where they will not be kept in constant dread and annoyance, and subjected to 'Unit upon insult. McCulloch and his _Army—The Fort at A correspondent of the Alissovri Democrat, writing from Rolla, Mo., under date of September 29, says: I state, on what I consider good authority, that McCulloch's army, last Thursday, were in the vicinity of Springfield, supposed to be aboutls,ooo strong, the ! lefferson City rtll49ro tQ the contrary notwithstanding. The fort which crowns the highest elevation in this region is a quadrangular structure, having a 32-pounder siege gun mounted in the centre of each side. The ground slopes away from either side, and the fort commands an siiienoil - 0 view, and will prove a most formidable object of approach by an enemy. The military defences about this point indicate in their conception agood deal of engi neering skill. A master mind has evidently had planning to do. SOUTHERN NEWS.

The river is so wide there that no harm was done. None was expected to be done, we suppose, the principal object being to make a noise.

The battle Of Cairo 'proper has been,fpught. The most , formidable fortMeations are erected--not SG much to guard against the attack, efiristia to. be made as' by their forbidding strength to mho a successful attack impossible, or at least too costly of blood and treasure to be attempted by hat an ene my. Cairo is pow so thoroughly foed G ant n to capture it would be. madness. The real battle has been fought by the treasure which bas ben expended in erecting Port Prentiss, for bundles the fortifications at Bird's Point, and by the patient and brave fellows who have guarded their oeportsut posts so long.
