SOUTHEASTERN KENTUCKY.
Gen. Zollicoffer's Column
At present there are two columns of Confede
rates engaged in the invasion of the , cdark and
bloody ground." The main part of those two eo•
lumns is composed of Tenness.eans. One of them
is commanded by Gen. Buckner, and has advanced
from the neighborhood of Tennessee to Boivling
Green and stretched 'forward with its advance in
the direction of Louiseille,lke great seat of wealth
and centre of intelligence in entucky.
The other has entered the soil sanctified by the
presence of the older Breckinridges, and 11realized
by the eloquence of Clay and the devotion of
Crittenden, at Cumberland Gap, and is said to cotta
prise some twelve thousand men, Powerful re
inforcements are said to be on the way to join this
body. The continuous retreat of Lee and Floyd
before Rosecrani and Reynolds will flank this po
sition. This movement, however, has at present a
most significant importance. Its position and lead
ership derive from those facts a factitious vaius.
The position of the main body is at
Cumberland Gap.
This is about ten miles from Cumberland Ford,
and has been celebrated, for a century, as a. great
depression in the mountain ridge which traverse;
the continent from New Bampshire to Northern
Alabama. Through this Gap, very similar in its
appearance and characteristics to the South Pass in
the Rooky mountains, formerly the emigrants from.
Virginia and North Carolina passed on their way
to the virgin witch 9f the Wart, For half a con ,
tury, thousands upon thousands poured through
this natural gateway into the Mississippi Valley,
from the Atlantic slopes. Boone, Kenton, and their
pioneer confreres first entered the land of " cane
and turkey" over this pre-Adamite turnpike. It
really forms to this hour the best, and, in fact, only
practicable road for the transportation of troops
and heavy munitions of war from East Tennessee
into Kentucky.
The troops which have for months beak been en
gaged in porseouting such man as Nelson, May
nard, Brownlow, and the other patriots of East
Tennessee, are now actually upon Kentucky's soil
under the command of
General Zollieoller.
who is welt known to the public as-a politieTzlit an
an editor. For a long time ha dabbled only in
State politics, confining his ambition to the State
Legislature. For a time he was the editor of
an old-line Whig newspaper, in Nashville, using
his position as a stepping-stone to his elevation to
Membership in the Federal Congress. That pod,
tion he finally attained, but his ambition was not
limited to that goal. He wanted to be Governor of
Tennessee, and even aimed at the highest Federal
honors.
But the Democratic party of that day had gotten
complete control of Tennessee, and he could not,
therefore, hope to obtain the bounds of his desires,
save through some new medium. He tried the
Know-Nothing organization. That failed hini.
His star passed into obscuration, and when Seces
sion turned up he embraced it, as the means of
converting himself from an opaque political body
into a living light in the popular atmosphere. Ife
has become a general in name, and name only.
He has, as yet, given no evidence of ability in that
direction. Wise and Floyd, men of much brighter
natural parts, have proved failures, and he is not
likely to turn up any better. He is naturally a
slow, heavy man, lymphatic in his temperament,
and inert in action, but a fine debater, when roused,
as his discussion with A. H. Stephens proved, in
1854, in Congress.
The Union Forces.
The only Union force yet formally in front of
Zollicoffer is that under Colonel Carter, a native
Kentuckian, who has organized about four thou
sand men, and has located them at London and
Barboursville, so as to command the roads leading
towards Zollicoffor's camp, and also all others run
ning into Tennessee from that paut.of the State.
His advance guard, at last accounts, was only
seventeen miles from Zollieoffer's advance position
—viz : at
Barboursville.
This is the seat of justice for Knox county. It i 3
located on the Cumberland river. The population
is fully four hundred. Around it lie undeveloped
an abundance of mineral resources. Through it
passes the great road leading from Frankfort, the
State eapital, into Tennessee. through Cumberland
(lap. It is located at a distance of one hundred
and twenty miles southwest of the capital. Twenty
miles northwest of it is situated the village of
London,
Which does not contain over one hundred inlntbi
tants, and is the capital of Laurel county, Ken
tucky. It is in the midst of a wild, picturesque
country. It was said recently by the telegraph
that it was in possession of Zollicoffer's forces. It
is now, however, occupied by the main body of
Colonel Carter's brigade, and will be the locality at
which Gen. Mitchell's main column will assemble
ere the final heavy forward movement is made at
Zollicoffer.
Through that region of Southern Kentucky a
strong Union sentiment has prevailed. The prin
cipal part of Carter's force are mountaineers.
Camp " Dick Robinson "
Has been so often described that it is useless to do
more than refer to its location. Its situation is
between Garardville.and Danville. It has been
most happily selected. The ten thousand native
Kentuckians assembled there now, being rapidly
increased in numbers by the accession of Ohl* and
Indiana regiments to an enormous force, can be
poured, as circumstances may demand their
presence, in huge columns toward Zolliceffer's
force, or precipitated upon Buckner's maraiders.
The camp is in a portion of the State alike accessi
ble to either rebel chieftain's line of march, and
flanks them both.
Assistance from Ohio and Indiant,
Eleven Ohio regiments have already eatered
Kentucky Two regiments from Indiana passed
through Louisville, for General Sherman's co
lumn, last Thursday and Friday. Four mare are
ready to move, and will be in Kentucky within a
week. Regiments from Pennsylvania will be
thrown forward into Western Virginia, Kentucky,
and Missouri. Nine of the last Presidential requi
sition for fourteen regiments have yet to march.
Why can these not be sent to those remote and ex
posed points in the West where they are deeply
needed ? Besides, there are at least twenty other
regiments rapidly recruiting in Pennsylvania,
which are independent of this requisition. General
Negley has a brigade of three regiments at Camp
Wilkins, near Pittsburg, ready to march, accompa
nied by a fine battery of artillery. Missouri is
spoken of as their destination. Circumstances,
however, point to Western Virginia or Kentucky as
their first field of action. It is but just that the
Eastern or Central States should pay back to the
West the enormous contributions !amen which the
latter has given to the defence of Washington.
Necessity of Reinforcements to the West.
All recent accounts concur in stating that Lee
and Floyd have been heavily reinforced. It is true
that Ave Ohio regiments' have lately been -mat 14
Rosecrans 7 column. But these have not more
than enabled him to keep up a movable column
equal in the field to the rebel force, and protect his
long base lino of operations, extending as it does
to a distance of one hundred and fifty miles into a
hostile country, a line constantly increasing in
length. lie should be fully fifteen thousand nume
rically superior to an enemy who is constantly re
treating upon a friendly base of operations.
Besides, it is evident from every report which
reaches us from the South, that if troops have net
*Many been withdrawn from Beauregard's army
to reinforce Lee, Zollicoffer, Buckner, Pull,:, and
Price, that all the troops now raised and forwarded
to the rebel army within the limits of the disloyal
States are sent to reinforce one of these fire col
umns. Counter reinforcements should, therefore,
be promptly foiwarded to overtop any rebel emis
sions of numbers.
In Ohio and Indiana there are full thirty regi
ments. additional to those already from those
States, mustering for the field. Were these there
now ; with a dozen or more from Pennsylvania, the
eucmy could make no chow of headway against
Rosecrans, Mitchell, Sherrilin, or Grant. Why
should the . destination ..of our regiments now
forming, or at least the gpriter part of them, be
westward.? A few more. thousand men put upon
the Upper Potomac is necessary to the protection
of our own frontier and that of Upper Maryland.
Beyond these few regiments, and those sent West
from Pennsylvania, all the New England, New
Jersey, and Now York troops :would accumulate
round Washington or Fortress Monroe. or be sent
to strike ' hard and fast at the enemy upon the sea
coast.
At every point, then, along the line of the fron
tier, and upon the sea coast, a simultaneous and
effective movement could be made against an en
veloped and envirened foe. This would really be
4414" folds of that imaginary anaconda" which was
enclose the enemy months since.
In the meantime, there is tio - point of the frontier,
Jfrom the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, in the West,
Ito Hatteras. in the East, where there is more ne
cessity for prudence, courage, and additional ref
sources of men and munitions of war, than within
the limits of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
We glean the following items from a letter writ
ten to the Cincinnati Tines, dated Camp Dick
Robinson, October 9 :
John J. Crittenden and the Stars and
;Simon.
John J. Crittenden arrived in our midst last

The Bell-wether of Tennessee.
Through 'the favor of Col. Byrd, of the First
Tennessee regiment, I was introduced to Captain
Arthur McFarland, of the First. Capt. McFarland
is 61 ycare of age, is from Union county, Tennessee,
' and is now known as the "Bell-wether." The roa
sons of this • maternal appellation he explained to
me in this wise : During their first troubles in East
Tennessee, when they were every moment ex-
pecting the vandal rebels to pounce down upon
them, and were very anxiously expecting to re
calve a supply of arms from the Government, he
i ;had gathered around him 350 brave men, fell' of
whom had guns. He took under his own im
mediate command one hundred and six men.
itifter waiting a long time, in vain, for arms,
itthe enemy came upon them, finding them per
' , 34.44ftgiosless. Thy enemy immediately sought,
to iinpreee thorn in then. service i to Present which
they scattered in small aquads in every direotiou.
They were now completely surrounded by the
blood-thirsty devils. Many of them were caught,
tied, thrown into wagons, and taken to the camp,
and forced into the rebel ranks. Captain McFar
land gathered about thirty around him and told
them that he could lead them out of the country,
They feared not, as they were completely sur
rounded by the rebels on all sides. McFarland,
knowing all the passes, roads, and paths, felt that
he could.
He therefore procured a. cote-bell. established
signals, and then commenced his advance from the
State. He led them through the path himself,
keeping far in advance, giving them signals with
the bell, which directed them which way to move.
In this manner he led them direct through the
rebel pickets, who were often seen by McFarland,
when he would rattle the bell, at which his men
would hide themselves until he sounded the signal
to advance, and also giving the direction. The
mounted pickets were often in sound of his bell,
but they did not heed it, supposing it to be cattle
roaming through the forest.
In this manner he succeeded in leading his little
band of fugitives beyond the limits of the State,
when they moved directly to Camp Dick Robinson,
i where there is at present enough of exiled brethren
to make their mark in the ranks of the rebel ma
rauders.
; Capture and Subsequent Recapture of
Colonel Buckner.
Colonel Buckner, a brother of S. B. Buckner,
but en officer in the United States Army, was ar
rested by a party of Secessionists, a few days since,
near Bopkinsville, and taken toward Columbus.
As they were crossing the Cumberland River, at
Eddyville, the gunboat Conestoga arrived from
below, captured the entire party, and released Co
lonel Buckner.
The manner in which appeals are made to the
patriotism, of the eitizens of Kentucky by the Linton
generals is shown by the following address :
To the Home Guards of the Ninth and
Ashland Districts.
You are hereby called on for active service for
ninety days. You will be mustered into service in
companies of one hundred and one, all told. You
will be furnished with everything necessary and
required for the campaign. You will rendervons
at the Olympian Springs. Let every man bring
warm clothing and his blanket. Two cents will be
allowed per mile traveled to that point. Let ever.) ,
man that has a Government musket be on hand. If
be cannot from any reason come himself, let him
transfer his gun to a man that ean. Those having
trusty rifles and preferring them are authorized to
bring them. Move at once to the Mudlick Springs ;
you will then be organized and led against the
enemy immediately, W. NELSON,
Brigadier General.
AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.
A Rebel Defeat—Fears of the Rebels at
Spnugfield—Reported Capture of Leba
non by an Illinois Regiment.
Roma, Mo., Oct. 14.—The report brought here
a day or two ago, that a battle took place on the
27th ult., between a body of Kansas troops, under
Montgomery and Jennison, and the advance guard
of MeCulleen rebel army, under Judge Chonault,
is confirmed by parties just arrived from Spring
field.
The battle commenced near Shanghae, in Barton
county, and the rebels were driven back, with con
siderable loss, and pursued some forty miles.
Montgomery then fell back on Greenfield.
Great alarm was felt in Springfield lest Montgo
mery should attack that place, and the rebel troops
there had rested on their arms several nights.
Montgomery is said to have had 3,000 men, and the
rebels 2,400. This statement can hardly be relied
on, as we have had no previous advises that such
a forte of Kansas troops was in that vicinity.
A band of three hundred and sixty marauding
rebels, encamped at Wilson's Mill, on Bryant's
fork of the White river, in Douglas county, were
attacked, Nine days since, by a body of Home
Guards, and fifteen rebels killed and twenty
wounded.
It is reported here that the Thirteenth Illinois
Regiment, under General Wyman, has surprised
and taken Lebanon, in Laclede county, with all th e
stores and provisions of the rebels. Thisneedseon
firmation.
Skies Brighter in Missouri
[From the St. Louis Republican, Oct. 10.1
Tho latest intelligence from the West encou.
rages the belief that our State is to be soon wholly
freed from the presence of any formidable force in
arms against the Federal army now occupied here.
Lexington advises state the situation of Price truly.
Contrary to the reports which represented it as
probable that he would make a stand at , Eleorge
town, he la, no doubt, at this time beating a rapid
retreat by a road much nearer to the Kansas fron
tier, on his way to the Arkansas bfilder. There is a
rumor, not a very improbable one,
that he sent
out a detachment toward Sedalia ; but we doubt
the truth of even this rumor. His wholeforee, when
he left Lexington, on the 30th ult., did not proba
bly exceed 18.000 men. Sometime before that we
know that he . had only 22,000. We now speak of
his regular force. The unorganized irregulars and
hangers-on were several thousands more. But it
is probable that only his regular force accompanies
him on his retreat. This retreat must be felt as a
dimater by mod of his men, who will coo nothing
but a barren victory in the capture of Lexington.
This feeling will dissatisfy and depress to such an
extent, sato occasion large withdrawals from an
army constituted like his, most of whom regard
themselves as, in every sense of the word, volun
teers. They are badly provisioned in every re
spect, and the want of comfortable clothing and
quarters will tell upon many of them as the season
advances. From Springfield, we learn that there
are not over 1,000 State troops at that point. and
that McCulloch's camp does not number over 1,600
more. McCulloch, it is said, is expecting rein
forcements from Arkansas, but perhaps his expecte-
Viola erill be disappointed. Pt se's expedition has
been fruitless .of any event having important
bearing on the course and conclusion of the war
here. And so it is felt by his supporters and im
mediate followers. If he had, as we presume he
had. only 18.000 men. when he left Lexington, we
doubt whether he can bring together 10,000 moo
when he reaches the Arkansas border.
We have all along felt very confident that Jef
ferson City, much less .st. Louts, teas in no dan
ger of any attack of the Confederate or State
troops. It was, some time since, highly probable
that Price, if he left Springfield. would proceed to
the point he did on the Missouri river. That point
was in a comparatively friendly region, and one full
of such resources as his army needed to draw upon.
When be started on his late fruitless expedition,
he probably conceived the idea of taking up winter
quarters at Lexington, and operating from that
point. There were many reasons in favor of such
a' lan. Besides that it was in the heart of a coun
try capable of furnishing abundant supplies, it was
a point from which he could sally out with detach
ments, either to meet separated bodies of the Fede
ral troops, or to interrupt their lines of communi
cation. One enterprise of this kind he set on foot,
when he sent 4.000 men across the river to advance
on the line of the Hannibal and St Joseph Road,
with orders to destroy the track with a view to the
stoppage of travel and transportation by that route.
That these troops were so suddenly recalled, which
was the fact, (for it is an error to suppose they were
driven back by an enemy, as at first reported,) is
one of the evidences to show that a very sudden
change in the general plan had been resolved on.
No doubt General Price was well informed 45 to
the amount of opposition he would have to encoun
ter at Lexington. He rightly calculated that he
would be able, by his overpowering numbers,
to
take it from its defenders. He falsely flattered his
hope with the idea that so small a garrison there, so
long continued without reinforcements, showed
general inability to bring into the field a force
which would be formidable to him. He under
rated the resources of the head of this depart
ment and the energy he was exerting to bring to
gether the necessary men and material. The most
authentic accounts go to show that he was quite
ignorant of the ability of the foe he was contending
with. Again, he was, we are persuaded, disappoint-
Cd at not witnessing, as he approached the heart
of the State, a general insurrection of the people
and enthusiastic rally to his standard. No doubt,
be had considerable accessions to his numbers. and
also when the news spread that he had captured
Lexington. But he, as we believe. soon discovered
the extent to which he could calculate on such sup
port ; and was disappointed and disheartened by
its moderate proportions. He was not welcomed
and not sustained as lie expected. We have said
be was quite ignorant of the force likely to be op
posed to him. and so he was until he got to Lex
ington. There he received information which
opened his eyes, and convinced him that ! with all
the troops he could muster, it would be madness
for him to oppose them to the array on this side.
Hence the sudden and complete change in his de
termination and plans. Instead of wintering in
Lexington, he is seeking winter quarters in a much
more southerly latitude. He has suddenly and en
tirely abandoned all that he won. The march to
Lexington and the march back again are a stYikin n e ,
illustration of' another famous march to which
it is needless to allude snore particularly. But
the evacuation of an important post won is often—
and may he in this ease—equivalent to iAsignal de
feat. For it is doubtful whether such defeat could
have more demoralized his forces than his surren
der of the fruits of victory.
As to a rumor of a junction between Price and
.TtleCulloch, and a movement of their armies on
Jefferson City, we agree with those who deem any
such outgivings by the former as intended simply
to amuse and pacify his men. If he is making such
promises. he is deluding them, so as to keep them
content to fellow him, in the hope, so often che
rished by Wilkins Xicawber, that, in the chapter
of accidents. "something may turn up.' Of what
that something is, we do not believe that General
Price has any clearer eonception than had his im
mortal prototype.
Without going. therefore. into any detail to show
the immense forces at the command of Gen. Fre
mont—of which we may presume he will make a
good use—we may congratulate every friend of
the peace and quiet of Missouri on
.friend
present
prospects. Peace and quiet are what are wanted
by a very large majority of our citizens, and they
will ; we believe. soon enjoy it, at least in a measure
far beyond anything within their unhappy expe
rience for the last few memorable months.
Gen. Price's Retreat.
A despatch to the Missouri Democrat, dated
Jefferson City, Oct. 11, says
Adjutant General Smith arrived last night from
Sedalia and Georgetown. Scouts report Price last
Tuesday at Johnstown, Bates county, between
Grand river and the Osage, 8.5 miles from Sedalia,
still pushing rapidly southward.
William Budd, of Knob Nester, who was takenimi
soner by Price on his way to Lexington, and since
escaped, is confident from what he learned on a re.
cent scouting expedition, and from scouts sent out
by him, that McCulloch is south of the Osage, wait
ing for the river to fall, when he intends to ford it
and join Price. It is thought by military men
here, however. that Price himself will cross and
join his reinforcements on the other side.
A scout just arrived here from Spring4o/d re
ports McCulloch at Camp Jackson with only 1,500
men. He is waiting there for reinforcements from
Arkansas. These reports, differing in some parti
culars, all agree on the essential fact that McCul
loch is somewhere near the Osage with reinforce
ments for Price.
Gen. Smith learned from different partioc from
Lexington precisely what I telegraphed a .day or
two ago , that Price while there seemed dispirited;
said he had been promised sixty thousand armed
men, and that he had but twenty thousand and
must retreat.
Gen. Fremont's Camp at Tipton.
A correspondent of the St. Louis Dentocred,
writing from Gen. Fremont's camp at Tipton, Mo.,
under date of Oct. 9. says :
The news of the approach of Fremont had gone
before us, and at frequent intervals I found men,
women, and children gathered by the roadside
awaiting the approach of the general. They all
professed to be good Union citizens, and I have no
doubt they were such ; but the information since
arriving here, that one of the engineers on the rail
road that morning had had a bullet sent after him
as he whizzed by, bespeaks not an entire unanimity
on this subject. I arrived at Tipton about 11
o'clock, and to my surprise found it occupied by
quite an army, the tents of which were scattered
far and near over the prairies around the town.
As the Secessionists are probably as well aware of
the force here as I am, lam giving the enemy no
information when I say that our force here num
bers from 10,000 to 15,000. The larger portion of
these belong to Hunter's division, The general,
surrounded by bis stall; was hard at work, and the
arrangements about town bespeak the presence of
the true military commander. Here we now are,
encamped about half a mile from town. It is pro
bable that we shall remain here for a day or two at
least. Where we nest move I cannot state. Pro
bably not to Sedalia, however.
Southeastern Missouri—Threatened 'At
tack on Cape Girardeau.
A correspondent of the Missouri Republican,
writirg from Cape Girardeau, under date of Oct.
9, says :
Au active, eager foe are encamped only fifteen
miles distant. As to their number nothing can be
ascertained, although from farmers and scouts they
would appear to be part of Jeff. Thompson's divi
sion, fifteen hundred strong, while the balance,
Col. Johnson's force, are reported five miles fur
Cher off. These are all in the immediate vicinity
of this place, while Pillow's army is iri three divi
sions : one at Sikeston,fanother at Belmont, and the
third and chief at Columbus, to which they crossed
from Missouri four days ago. Great alarm exists
in the country around here, and the painful sight
is daily witnessed of farmers. and whole families
coming in for protection, whose property has been
seized during the week ? and they ruined, someffunee
reduced to indigence, by the remorseless plunderer&
A widow woman, lately owner of a well-stocked
farm, yesterday arrived, feat-sore and weary, sta
ting that everything—horses, cows, and all—
had been taken from her, and she, a woman and a
widow, one who should be doubly sacred from
wrong, obliged to fly , froni starvation, and the shel
tering roof of home, to seek mercy among stran
gers. A more pitiable condition than this portion
of Missouri now offers could not be presented, un
less fire swept over all, charring the barren fields
and destroying deserted homesteads. Surely, could
people elsewhere but 6968 witness it, and behold
what is really nought but waste and desolation,
they would fly to the rescue, and not stand idly
gazing, while a sister State drinks to the dregs a
cup of ruin. Preparations go rapidly forward to
prepare Cape Girardeau for an attack. Breast-
WOritti of considerable magnitude approach comple
tion on the outskirts of the town, and yesterday
MOO cannon and howitzers arrived. In a few days
an attacking force, however numerous, would fill
with their dead the surrounding ditches and val
leys, before their flag could ever wave in triumph.
A rebel spy was arrested yesterday, attempting
to make his way out of town, and confesses that
Thompson and a Cvl. Johnson are only fifteen nines
distant, with six thousand men, and as soon as rein
forced by Pillow, will march upon the Cape, which
they wish to attack, while those who would other
wise reinforce are in pursuit of Price. The pickets
here have been once or twice fired on lately by
skulking rebels, but ? as yet, with no fatal result.

The Poston of Genetul Houston as De
fined by Himself.
The Richmond Enquirer , of Friday last, con
tains a letter from Sam Houston, dated Septem
ber 18. which was written for the purpose of de
fining bis position, and in answer to an article
which he saw in the New York Herald, about the
lt , th or 10th of August, which states that General
Houston has no sympathy with the rebellion. In
reply to this he says :
Previous to the act of secession by Texas, and
whilst the measure was one of argument and
opinion, my opposition to it was open and avowed,
and my opposition to the acts of the Convention was
net concealed. but on all becoming occasions fully
expressed, nor did I cease that expression of oppo
sition to the measure of secession until the people
acquiesced in it, when I, as one of them, unhesi
tatingly assented to this conclusion ; since which
time I have attempted to throw no impediment in
the way of this action, but, on the contrary, have
performed all the acts of a dutiful and loyal eiti
zen of the Southern Confederacy. This was doing
no more than what became me, for I have lived
and acted upon the principle that all public officers
should obey the will of their constituents, and all
private citizens support the Government which se
cures to them their liberties.
Whilst the Convention was in session 7 I presented
a communication to the Legislature, accompanying
resolutions forwarded to me by the Executive of
Tennessee, on the subject of coercion, in which I
denounced, unqualifiedly, such a measure of Fede
ral policy. Since then, my opinion has undergone
no change.
Had 1 been dispoeed to involve Texas in Civil
war, I had it in my power ; for I was tendered the
aid of seventy thousand men, and means to sustain
myself in Texas, by adhering to the Union; but
this I rejected, and, in return for the offer, I gave
my advice to the Federal Government that I want
ed no money, I desired no office, and wished for no
troops • but, if Mr. Lincoln was wise, and wished
to confer a benefit upon the country, he would
evacuate Forts Pickens and Sumpter, recall all the
Federal troops from Texas, and not take the coun
sel of such a man as General Scott, or his Adminis
tration would be disgraced. Notwithstanding this,
when my message was reported to Mr. Lincoln. by
his own messenger, it appeared that he (lid not be
lieve that his agent had been faithful in the dis
charge of his trust in reporting my opinion. So
strong was this belief, that he immediately resolved
to send another messenger and troops to the
South. *
.Ikly only son—above the years of childhood, and
he is only a stripling of eighteen—attached himself
to the first company that was raised in the neighbor
hood: he has been mustered into service for during
the war. and is discharging the duties of a soldier,
equipped to meet the enemies of the Southern Con
federacy ; and, in addition to this, no less than four
nephews have enlisted for during the war, and are
now on their march to Virginia. I might cite these
as evidences in vindication of myself, if I chose so
to do, but such is not the object ; it is merely done
for the gratification of boasting a little, and to let
those who were most forward in Secession see whe
ther they have done more than I have, and am
willing to do, for the Southern Confederacy. And
more than this, I have three other nephews who
have been in "Virginia from the commencement of
the war, with the other Southern troops.
* * * * *
The time has been when there was a powerful
Union sentiment in Texas. and a willingness on the
part of many true patriots to give Mr. Lincoln a
fair trial in the administration of the Federal Go•
vernment. a * * These times
have passed by. If there is any Union sentiment
in Texas now. I am not apprised of it.

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
The Loss of the Indiana Regiment 47--
A Rebel Privateer Burned.
FORTRESS MONROE, Oct. 14—via Baltimore.—
The steamer Span/ding returned from Hatteras
Inlet this morning, bringing up Gen. Mansfield,
who has to-day taken command at Camp Hamil
ton.
The entire loss of the Twentieth Indiana Regi
ment, in its retreat, was 47.
No changes hare taken place at the Inlet during
the last few days.
Eleven contrabands came over last night from
$e yell's Point. They say that MOM are four hun
dred rebel troops at the Point, and a large number
this side of Norfolk.
Lieut. Murray, of the gunboat Louisiana, two
or three days since, found a rebel vessel in a nar•
row opening this side of Oregon Inlet, fitting out as
a privateer, Ile took possession and burned the
vessel. The rebels were in force in the vicinity.
The Rebel Movements Closely Watched.
A correspondent of the Herald writing from
Fortress Monroe, under date of October 10, says :
A watchful eye is kept upon rebel movements,
and it is known here how many small boats they
have, and even their movements. A good coast
guard is on the alert in the night, and open bat
teries, with men lying at their guns, are always
ready to receive those who may favor us with an
evening call. I may say that buoys have been laid
down, after an accurate survey by the pilot of the
flagship, and Captain Graves, of the Young Ame
rica, so that should any of the rebel vessels attempt
to run out the flag ship can chase them. There are
other matters which have been and are now en
grossing the attention of the naval commanders, but
1 would not be justified in making them public at
this time. Suffice it to say, that the naval
foreee here are not inactive by any means, and
in due season we will have the pleasure to record a
deed worthy of note. The rebels are evidently ex
pecting some move. They are very busy at
Sewell's Point; twenty large guns are mounted,
and from the present state of movements more will
soon be put in place. At Crancy Island thirty
four iron bull doge show their ugly muzzles. This
piece of work was built for the purpose of prevent
mg shipping from passing up Elizabeth river.
About twelve guns of the largest calibre bear on
the approaeh to the mouth of the river, while
twenty-two command the passage up. It is almost
an impossibility to pass this battery ; which is
beautifully constructed, and is certainly one of the
finest pieces of earthwork I ever saw. With a
proper force the rebels might be driven out by
shell, but it would cost many lives and some
vessels to do it. The batteries on Sewell's
Point arc composed of six distinct entrenchments,
the lint mounting two guns in embrasures and one
on parapet. The next mounts nine, all in em
brasures, which are flanked with logs. The next
battery is provided with three guns en barbette.
Two small batteries are next in order, each mount
ing one gun en barbette, The next battery mounts
two guns on barbette. A heavy gun on a ship
carriage planted on the beach completes the line of
defences. With proper management it would be
an easy matter, comparatively speaking, to drive
the rebels out of this line of batteries. The Sawyer
gun on the Rip Raps, can trouble them very badly
,now. Although I have taken up this subject to-day,
I do not wish to be understood that any active steps
are to be taken in relation to these points ; but as I
have had an opportunity lately of haring these
batteries described to me, I thought.it would be a
matter of some interest to record the position of the
rebels in this locality.

- The Engagement at Cape Henry.
The following is the official report of the enggage

latter was silenced. This adds another to the roll
of our naval achievements :
U. S. PROPELLER DAYLIGHT,
BLOCKADING OPP CAPE HENRY, Oct. 11. 1%1.
Srx : Yesterday afternoon. a few minutes before
four. it was reported to me that a battery en shore
in Lynhaven Bay had opened fire on the American
ship ,Tolm Clark, of Baltimore, which had come
in and anchored during the gale. and dragged
within range of the enemy's gunt; distant about
one and a half miles. I got under way and stood
down to her assistance, and on getting within
range opened tire, and a spirited engagement was
kept up on both aides for about forty minutes.
when the enemy ceased firing, their battery of
four or five guns being silenced, so that, although
we remained within range for an hour and a half
after the firing had ceased, assisting the ship to
get under way. not a shot was fired by them.
Our shot generally were well directed, and must
have done execution. Fortunately, none Of their
shot us, taut they came quite near enough. The
officers and men were eager for the fray. and
evinced a spirited determination to do their whole
duty. And I was well pleased, not only with their
conduct, but also with the precision of their aim.

General Fremont
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says that when the Cabinet is fully ad
vised of the facts of Gen. Fremont's military ad
ministration, final notion upoii his ease will prompt
ly be taken. Gen. Fremont has 40,000 men in and
around Tipton. Ile cannot move them, though,
for want of transportation and provisions. Within
his entire command he has 70 7 000 troops.
Before leaving St. Louis the Secret ary of War,
by letter, ordered General Fremont to discontinue_
as unnecessary, his field works around the city, and
that which he is erecting at Jefferson City ; to sus
pend the work on the barracks he is building near
his residence for his body guard of three hundred
cavalry, and ordered him to employ all the money
in the hands of the disbursing officers to the pay
ment of the current expenses of his army in Mis
souri, and to let all his debts in St. Louis, amounting
to 54.500.000, remain unpaid until they can be pro
perly examined and sent to Washington for settle
ment. He also ordered that the disbursing officers
should disburse their funds and not transfer them to
irresponsible persons who do not hold commissions
from the President, and are not under bench,';
and he further ordered that hereafter all contracts
necessary to be made, be made by the regular dis
bursing officer of the army. Gen. F. was also in
formed that no payment would be made to officers
anointed by him. It is said there are over two hum.
dyed of them whose commissions do not bear the Pre
sident's signature, and that Paymaster Andrews ham
been verbally instructed not to make such pay
ments. Special exception was made in favor of
officers of volunteers. The number of forts planned
by Gen. Fremont for the defence of St. Louis is
eleven.
The Destruction of the Judah.
The official report forwarded by Flag Officer
Mervine, of the Gulf blockading squadron, of the

apatehed by him. from the Colorado, on the night
of the 16th of September, under the command of
Lieutenant John B. Russell, of the navy, to de.
stroy the rebelprivateer Judah, moored at the
wharf of the Pensacola navy yard, and to
spike the guns in battery near by. Au expe
dition executed in the face of an enemy so
much superior in numbers. with such brilliancy,
and gallantry, and success, cannot pass with
out the special• recognition of the Department.
To those who were engaged in it, not only the De
paftment, but the whole country, is indebted for
one of the brightest pages that have adorned our
naval record during this rebellien, ,ludeed, it May
be placed, without disparagement, side by side with
the fairest that adorn our early naval history. The
expedition will give renown not only to those who
were immediately
. concerned in it, but to the nevi,
itself. It will inspire others in the service to emu
lation. Its recital hereafter will thrill the heart
with admiration. The Department will cherish
the recollection of the exploit, and desires you to
express to the officers, seamen and marines, who
participated in it, its highest admiration of their
conduct.
The loss to the service, and to their relatives and
friends '
of those who fell in the expedition, is a
painful feature of it i but the memory of those
brave men should not be lost In the hearts of all
true patriots, but be ever cherished therein.

Revolutionary Precedents.
Abundant precedents can be found in the
history of our Revolutionary struggle for all
the actions of the present Administration, The
seizure of presses, the apprehension of disaf
fected persons, the searching for arms, were
all practised by our Revolutionary fathers. In
their own language, cg such proceedings may
be abundantly justified by the conduct of the
freest. nations, and the authority of the most
judicious civilians." Let any one who doubts
this read the following resolutions, passed by
the Revolutionary Congress, in the year 1777 :
Whereas, The States of Pennsylvania and Dela
ware are threatened with immediate invasion from
a poworful array, who have already landed at the
head of the Chesapeake Bay ; and whereas, prin
ciples of policy and self-preservation require that
all persons who may be reasonably suspected of
aiding or abetting the cause of the enemy may be
prevented from pursuing measures injurious to the
public weal; therefore,
Resolved, That the Executive authorities of the
States of Pennsylvania and Delaware be requested
to cause all persons within their respective States,
notoriously disaffected, forthwith to be appre
hended and secured till such amuses the respective
States think they may be released without injw4
to the common cause,
Resolved, That it be recommended to the Su
preme Executive Council of the State of Pennsyl
vania to cause a diligent search to be made in the
houses of all inhabitants of the city of Philadel
phia, ivho have not manifested their attachment to
the American cause, for fire-arms, swords, bayo
nets, &c.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the execu
tive powers of the respective States forthwith to ap
prehend and secure all persons who have. in their
general conduct and deportment, evinced a dis
position inimical to the cause of America. And
that the persons so seized be confined in such pla ces .
and treated in such manner as shall be consistent
with their respective characters, and the security of
their persons.
Resolved, That persons of like charaeter, and
in emergencies equal to the present, when the
enemy is at our door, have in otter stem been ar,
rested and secured upon suspicion arising from
their general behavior, and that sueluroceeding
may be abundantly justified by the conduct of
the freest nations and the authority of the most
judicious civilians.
We trust we do not offend the Hon. WIL
LIAM B. Kann, who is so anxious in favor of
freedom of speech, and freedom of the press,
whenever both are exercised against the cause
of the United States, by reproducing the fore
going eloquent extract from Revolutionary re.
cords. In the days when our forefathers were
struggling to establish free institutions, "all
disaffected persons," and those whose "gene
ral conduct and deportment" created suspicion
against them, were arrested and imprisoned;
but now, when we are reaping the fruits of the
labors of the heroes and sages of the Revolu
tion, those who would destroy.or poison these
fruits are not only to be left unpunished, but
all who attempt to silence them are subjected
to persecution.
