AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.

Arrivl of Pennsylvania Troops at Lou-
The Louisville Democrat. of the 22d inst., says :
Contrary to general expeetion, the fleet of boats,
six in number, bearing the brigade of Pennsylvania
troops, arrived at our wharf about five o'clock last
evening. The fleet made a magnificent appearance
as it came down the river from six-mile island. At
that point the entire six formed in line, abreast,
and steamed down towards the city, in that order,
till they arrived - at the foot of Willow Bar, when
they broke line anti wheeled around to the city
wharf, landing at the foot of Fifth street. The
report that they were in sight soon spread, and
the wharf was lined with thousands of people,
moatlymomen and children,
The fleet consists of the following steamers : J.
TV. Hazlman, Clara Yoe, Argonaut, Moderator,
Sir WM..-.Wallare, and Silver Wave—each boat
carrying iffiSut five hundred men. This brigade is
munpostuiplif some of the finest-looking men we
have seenpiknswhere, all large, healthy, Ale-bodied
men, in.,,excellent health and fine spirits. The
three vitt:Lents comprising the brigade are the
Seventi-M - enth, under command of Colonel Ham

CCUOVVAltIlEaqter OUnty ; the kerenty - aighth,
•
tinder Colonel Stambaugh, which had been some
time in camp at Chambersburg, and the Seventy
ninth, under Wool f3irwell, from Kittanning.
The men are all finely uniformed and armed, and
repose the utmost confidence in their officers.
There is but one man in the entire brignde seriously
unwell, showing that they have been well provided
for. A splendid brass band belongs to the brigade,
and a fine battery of six pieces, the members of the
artillery company being from Erie county, the
whole under command of Brigadier General
We learn that the officers of the brigade, with
Gen. Sherman and staff, partook of a sumptuous
entertainment set for them by Capt. Silas F. Miller,
the whole-souletl host of the Galt House.
The troepa remaisnd OR the boats last night, and
will take up their line of march this morning for
the Nashville depot, on their way to such destina
tion as lien. Shemin may assign them. The fleet
did not leave Pittsburg till Friday evening, and
when some two or three miles distant they were
compelled to lie to in consequence of the heavy
fog; but from Saturday morning the boats made
regular and good time; reaching Cincinnati yester
day morning about fire o'clock. From Cincinnati
to this point the trip was made rapidly—the entire
journey having 'been -performed without an acci
dent or unpleasant circumstance occurring.
Consolidating the Volunteers.
The Louisville Journal of the 22d says :
The general order of Brigadier General Sherman
Ico. El, published this morning, approves most cor
dially the order of Adjutant General Finnell, which
directs the consolidation of our Kentucky volun
teers into companies, battalions, and regiments, and
also directs all persons who are raising regiments
under the authority of the War Department, or of
Gan. Anderson. to report to Adjutant General Du
uell, at Frankfort, if their commands arc not full,
and to conform to the instructions of the State Mi
litary Board, until their organization is complete
and they are ready to be mustered into the United
States service. This hearty co-operation of the
Federal and State officrob is most cheerzng.
Adjutant General Finnell bias been in our city since
the promulgation of his order, and has urged upon
nil interested to prosecute recruiting vigorously.
We hope that it may be found unnecessary to
consolidate any two companies, and that every one
will attain at least the minimum number of volun
teers before the 10th of next month ; when the order
for consolidating the fractional companies will be
made, if it becomes imperative for the efficiency of
the service.
Particulars of tho Victory over Zollicof-
fer—The Battle of Wild Cat.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Camp Dick Robinson, Ky., under
date of October 22, says :
The people at Camp Diek are sounding the loud
timbre'. Notwithstanding a lowering sky and
humid ntro4sphere, hilarity reigns. At about two
o'clock this morning, a courier with his escort
dashed up the road on a foaming steed with tidings
of a Union victory at Wild Cat." General
Schapt announced, in a brief despatch to Brigadier
General Thomas, that Zollicoffer, with six thousand
infantry and fifteen hundred cavalry - . attacked him
in itosition yesterday morning nt eleven o'clock, and
seas repulsed. At one o'clock P. M., he renewed
the attack at another point, and was again 17'-
17(41Ni. At a later hour, be made a third unsuc
cessful attack, and was again repelled. The Fede
ral loss was four killed and twenty tvounded. The
rebel loss lruS net 11447414 W, because our men did
not leave their position.
Zollicolfer, no doubt, supposed that Col. Garrard
bad not been reinforced. His original force was
his own regiment and part of another. Subse-
Suently a battery (of sixguns) reached him, and on
aturday and Sunday the Seventeenth Ohio, Col.
Connell. and the Twenty-third Indiana arrived,
The guns of the battery were not brought into play
vigorously until the second attack, when a few
rounds drove back the rebels. The despatch from
General Sbapt treats the affair as an attack,"
not as a reconnoissance en force. I infer, how
ever, that the rebel general was endeavoring to
feel his position, which is represented to me as ca
pable of formidable defence against great otbl4.
The news of the fight inspired the troops, and they
manifest much anxiety to press forward.
It is not known whether Zollieoffer employed his
whole force in the attack, but the inference is fair
that only one division was engaged. The Tennes
see regiments had not reached Wild Cat when the
fight took place, but they will probably arrive
there to-day. Capt. Kenny's battery is now de
ploying into the pike, en route for the scone of ac
tion. W. D. B.
The Despatch to Hon. Andy Johnson.
The following is the substation of it despatch re
ceived at Camp Dick Robinson and from there
transmitted to lion. Andy Johnson ; at the Burnet
house, in Cincinnati :
CA3II. WILD CAT, Oct. 21, 3 P. M.
The enemy, under Zollieoffer, attacked us at 11
o'clock tosday. Their force was ..infantry 0,000,
cavalry 1,500, and one .battery. They were re
pulsed at two points, and retreated to their en
trenchments. They made another attack at IP.
N., and continued a scattering fire up to 3 P. M ,
when the firing subsided. Our troops all behaved

wounded wee Captain Hanson, of the Indiana regi
ment, whose finger was amputated immediately, mid
he at once resumed his command. Our gallant
troops, under Colonels Garrard and Schapt, num
bering3,ooo, deemed their position entirely secure,
and remtbrecinents coming up with a battery.
[Camp Wild Cat is forty miles beyond Camp Dick
Robinson.]
Threatened Attack on Maysville.
The Maysville (Ky.) Eagle, of the 19th inst.,
soya:
Reliable information has been received that the
Rcessioniete have advanced from Prestonbarg with
a large force. and are now threatening Mt. Sterling
and this citY. It is believed that Hazel Green,
which is only three days march from Maysville, is
already in their possession, and rumor has it that
reinforcements from 'Virginia are on their way.
The Home Guards of this and the adjoining count
ties are urged to concentrate at Olympian Springs,
the place of rendezvous, so that their numbers may
be felt in the approaching conflict.
Buckner's Plans.
A correspondent of the New If ork Ttme_<., writing
from Camp Nevin, under date of October
At the very time that Buckner was pretending to
be scared out of his boots by the advance of Rous
seau and McCook to Nofin Creek, some twenty
miles from Green 'River, he was receiving rein
forcements which would make him stronger, two to
one, than they were. Hardee has come over from
Arkansas and joined him with a heavy column. It
is said the ex-author of tactics brought two thou
sand Indians with him. I have been unable to find
out whether he really did so or not. A rather ner
vous old gentleman fold me he actually saw them ;
but he may have mistaken the wild, em
browned demi-earages of the Arkansas fron
tier. fer aborigines. If they he-Te brought sa
vages into Kentucky, a brigade of free ne
groes should be formed and put into the field
against them. Tennessoeans, Mississippians,
and Alabamians are pouring forth to loin
Buckner, and I know to a certainty that his force
is now double 914 f 9Wn, and rapidly inereiraing, His
late retreat, then, was only a feint. Its object was
to draw oui forces south of Green river, and crush
them. having failed in this ruse, he is just as eer-
Min to advance as the sun shines. I think it is
likely that Paducah and Louisville will both be as-
sailed at wee, An advance is a vital necessity to
the rebels, and not to advance would be worse for
them than a defeat. Their army cannot be kept
together without an advance. They subsist wholly
by plunder, and must be constantly advancing in
order to be maintained in the field. It is necessary
for them to reach the Ohio river before winter, and
there can be no more doubt that they are now pre
paring for a desperate effort to do so, than there is
of the sun's shining.
AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.
The Rebel Outrages in N orthern Missouri.
A correspondent of the Tribune, writing from
St. Joseph, Missouri, under date of October 2D,
says:
There is 14 present a temporary lull in the war
storm that has raged in this part of the State.
Thousands of the Secessionists who had been car
rying on a guerilla warfare, burning railroad
bridges ; robbing towns and plantations, and mur
dering or banishing loyal citizens, have gone off in
squads, companies ; or regiments to join their groat
leader and deposed Governor in the Southwest.
This leaves the northern part of the State in a con
dition of comparative quiet and security. Already,
however, a large number of those who joined Price
at Lexington, with the expectation of making a
triumphal progte, from that point to Jefferson
City and St. Louis ; have returned to their homes.
Some of those have come back with a feeling of in
tense disgust for treason and rebellion, and snake
very earnest protestations of future loyalty. Others,
however, have returned to recruit new forces, and
commence again their system of neighborhood rails
and forays. North Missouri has reason to be thank
ful that she has been relieved from the presence of
a drunken commander, and that there are now
loyal troops enough stationed upon her railroads,
and at other important points, to defend her homes,
and utterly crush out the band of ro bb ers cu d as
sassins.
It is piteous indeed to see what attempted Seces
sion and accomplished treason have already done
for this State. As Secession is always arrogant, in
tolerant, noisy, and demonstrative, its disciples in
Missouri at first frightened ninny of the loyal citi
zens from their propriety, and, by threats and vio
lence, drove thousands of them from their homes to
seek shelter and support where they could. It is
not unreasonable to estimate that a/lulu/red thou
sand loyal men, women, and children have thus
been drut.-en
. from their homes during the last few
months. These refugees, not from justice; but
from robbers and murderers, have sought tempo
rary shelter in St. Louis and in the neighboring
free States. Some of them saved enough to live
upon for a few months, and others are dependent
upon the iihelltlitY of then among whom they have
east their lot.
Some of these exiles were merchants in the coun
ty towns, and have lost not only their goods, but
every dollar that was-due them from Secession
customers. Others were mechanics, who were glad
4o sacrifice tho neat cottage and the thrifty slum
and escape with their dependent families and a kit
of tools. Others still had fine farms, with pleasant
gardens. orchards, meadows, and wheat fields,
which, with their well-furnished farm-houses, have
been given up to the spoiler. This whole region of
country looks as if it bad been cursed by a pesti-•
knee. Towns arc nearly depopulated, and the few
iuhnbitants left wander about the desolate streets,
aimless and hopeless, without occupation or appa
rent purpose. Seminaries and churches are either
closed or used for hospitals rhotels are unfrequent
ed, houses untenanted, merchants unoccupied, me
chanics unemployed_ gardens untended, farms an.
tilled ; the wheels of commerce are rusting upon the
rail, the hammer on the anvil, and the plow in the
furrow. Many districts of the country remind one
forcibly of Tacitus's description of the track of the
Roman armies, whore " they made a solitude and
called it peace
But, thanks to Providence and Federal bayonets,
this gloomy picture of present desolation is begin
ning to show some bright spots. The people are
slowly eooxi» .tr, to the ronvietion lint UneleSo
lei(/ give tips Missouri to thv teufferAcreirs of
t 4 rcvsion -tken he gives flp his right to navigate
the Allan, it ocean. and not hefor , . This whole-
Mc conviction is giving courage to the timid.
and with the departure of the Secession horde to
follow the fortunes of Price and Jackson, hundreds
of exiled families are already on the return to their
once happy, but now desolate homes. With the
spoilers driven out or kept in abeyance, a few
months will restore the exiled citizens to the towns
and farms from which they have been driven, and
Missouri will be herself again.
How Stands the War!
As often as any entail reverse takes place to the
Union arms, a set of weak-minded or weak•nerved
persons begin to look doubtfully wise and exclaim,
"What hope is there for tie ? Don't you Ate, that
the enemy is superior to us
Aside from the feet that all such exclamations and
pseudo-pious ejaculations tend to weaken the confi
dence of the masses in the Government, and pro
duce greater discontent than secret sympathy or
open insurrection has heretofore done ; there is no
just cause for such remarks.
It is but fair to premise that at the beginning of
Mr. Lincoln's Administration there were traitors in
or connected with all the official positions of the
Government. Many of the most experienced offi
cers in the navy and army had resigned. Our en
tire force, by land and sea, scattered all over the
worhi or distributed throughout the vast interior of
the continent, was not large enough for police
purposes. The united force did not number thirty
thousand. Secession had gathered such force that
seven States had made a formal renunciation of
their allegiance crc the ides of March, 1861, had
come and gone. Four more were undergoing the
process of decrusting themselves of their thin shell
of loyalty. Four more hung tremblingly in the ba
lance. Even in the loyal States there were men
and newspapers found- base enough to uplift their
voices in behalf of treason.
Forts, navy yards, and national IMAM; were
seized. the public treasury robbed of millions, and
pirates sent forth to prey upon our commerce.
Yet within six short months an effective army
has been put in the field, numbering more than
four hundred thousand men. Large additions have
been made to the navy, until a most effectual
blockade has been established on a sea coast of over
two thousand miles. Virginia is occupied upon her
whole Eastern coast. Sixty of her Western coun
ties are completely in possession of tho national
troops. Washington has been saved and made im
pregnable. .Maryland and Delaware hare been
saved, and Secession completely crushed within
their borders. Two-thirds of Kentucky and Mis
souri are completely under the control of the
'Unionists, and the Federal anna are steadily ad
vancing to a full triumph throughout all their
What if our troops are occasionally worsted in
small skirmishes ? What if brilliant and gallant
chiefs fall leading their troops on to battle? Has
not this war assumed proportions as gigantic as
those of any modern European contest ? If oar
people are in earnest, must they not ekpeet greet
loss of life—such losses as marked Magenta and
Solferino ? The appointments of our armies are as
formidable as those of Francis Joseph or Louis Ne•
poleon in the great Italian campaign of 1359. Did
either of them stop to count their losses in affairs
of so minor a character as Bull Bun or Edwards -
Ferry. or the siege of Lexington, comparatively
were ?
The whole secret is that our people have not
been accustomed to war upon a gigantic scale.
When they are educated 4p to the ideas surround
ing great national struggles, and the mighty tread
of armies which shake a continent, events of little
consequence as to ultimate great results will pro
duce no impression upon them whatever. All
doubtfully-wise doubts will pass away. They who
pow give ventilation to them will hare learned to
view national affbirs through a stronger lens,
through a glass having greater focal power.

important military movements have boon made in
that vicinity. A few days ago six rebel steamers
made their appearance, but withdrew without any
demonstration.
The recent high tides have almost entirely cyci,

The Tammany Regiment.
GI:STANDS W. SMITH AND THE TAMMANY REGIMENT
CONFRONTED AT THE BATTLE ON THE POTOMAC—
THE PLANS FOR CAPTURING THE EN,STEET COM
missioNlin, ETC.
The //sraid says that sonic very curious facts in
relation to the action in which Colonel Baker lost
his life have been ascertained through the persons
who returned to New York last week, and now
here, with the $23,000 allotment of pay sent home
by the g4l4lWrs of the TelninallY regiment. It ap
pears that this corps. under Col. Cogswell, were
stationed on guard near the ford at Edwards' Ferry,
and that, some three weeks since, it became known
among the men that Gustavus W. Smith, the late
street commissioner, was in command on the shores
directly opposite, This created the most intense
excitement among the Tammany boys, and the cap
ture of Smith became an engrossing topic. Scouting
expeditions and individual projects for executing
this plan for the capture of Smith became an absorb
ing purpose. Appeals and solicitations were con
stantly urged upon the officers to allow of some op
portunity which would permit the regiment to
make an attack upon Smith's command. Colonel
Baker, who commanded the brigade comprising the
Tammany. California ' and other regiments, was
prominently active in this city when the Tammany
regiment was recruited, and divided with Colonel
Cogswell the regard with which they originally
followed the late Colonel William D. Kennedy,
had, it appears, been prevailed upon to gratify
their desire for the seizure of Smith by precipi
tating an action and advancing more recklessly in
pursuit of the street commissioner than appears to
have been warranted by the plans of the com
mander-in-chief. The Tammany men, however
stuck to the fight, and, if the despatches be correct.
Smith was shot from his horse, iu the contest, and
carried off the battle field.

forces. and General Banks has followed with his

soldiers on the Virginia side of the Potomac, under
the command of their two generals. excited by the
incidents of a serious conflict and impatient of
more decisive results. Before them is a tore° d

Only to advance, for the one is as easy as the other.
Looking. at the disposition of the two armies front
this distance, we are not inclined to regard the col
lision of Monday as an accident. A wiser move
ment could not have been made by Gen. McClellan
than the one upon Leesburg. if he is prepared to
assume the offensive in Virginia. If the left wing:
of Beaureffard's army is at Leesburg. it is in groat
danger of being cut oft' and destroyed, if provoked
now into a general fight. Its retreat will be diffi
cult, because McClellan's centre is advanced so far
forward in the direction of Vienna, that its retro
grade might be intercepted. And again, is retreat

its
doubling back upon Beauregard's centre would be
an awkward and embarrassing movement, fraught
with much danger to the rebel army. The same
reason that would make a retreat of the rebel left
wing hazardous. would render reinforcement by
Beauregard a perilous attempt. The relieving co
lumns would have to rim along the entire front of
Gen. McClellan's army. On the other hand, if
Gen. Evans or Gen. Smith, the supposed comman
der of the rebel left, resolves to stand and fight it
out, Gen. McClellan can send as large an army as
he pleases from the Washington side up to Edwards'
Ferry, and cross them where Stone and Boic.4' c -
Julian crossed, and make a finish of them. whatever

NEAR PROTECT HILL. Va.. Oct. 22. 1861
Fitiumi Dl.: Since my last letter to you was
despatched, we have had quite an exciting time in
our camps. Hardly a night passed over our heads
that we were not aroused from our slumbers, by
the beating of the long roll. and kept, sometime;
for hours, under arms. awaiting orders. Finally,
on Saturday morning last, the ole body advanced
some twelve miles into Virginia, on a reconnoitring
expedition. Gen. Smith's division moved in the
direction of Fairfax, and Gen. McCall's took the
Leesburg turnpike. We were aroused at three in
the morning, and, with good cheer, immediately
prepared for the march. Upon nearing the line of
our advanced pickets, our progress was considerably
retarded by obstructions, in the shape of trees, Sc.,
which had been recently felled 4 - the t' geoeshers,"
to impede our progress and to gain time in getting
out of our reach, When witlau foul or five m iles
of OH Cainli, We Cahill across a farm house, occupied
by two negroes, the white residents having gone
off with the rebel tribe who had been in the vicinity
a short time before. Here we refreshed ourselves
with good water and gained some information ea to
the whereabouts of the rebels. By the way, is it not
worthy of note, that the very men who have always
been taunting the loyal people of the North about
the negro. and about their want of devotion to the
Constitution and flag, were the very ones to first
trample under foot the starry emblem of our liberty,
heap eVerlltionS upon the constitution and its pa
triotic defenders, hiss down the glorious music of
our national airs, and, with all the means of perjury.
robbery, hypocrisy, and almost every other dark
crime, called to their aid, attempted to overthrow
the most beneficent Government ever erected by

ti even before a finger was raised by the pea
ple of the North to unconstitutionally assail it.
Upon leaving the farm house and its "dark occu
pants," we proceeded to Difficult creek, where we
halted—the artillery taking the hill, and the in
fantry occupying the side in the woods. Dame
Rumor said that were here to at offJohnstnn's
retreat from Banks, who was supposed to have
crossed the Potomac, a few miles above Leesburg.
and was marching upon the rebel general encamped
at that nest of traitors. We were all impatient to
hear the boom of cannon, but no such sound met
our errs. Compimiee from the different regiments
were soon sent ss a gunning after Seceshers," but
with the exception of a company detailed from the
"Buck Tails" (who, it is said, were the advanced
scouts, arid had succeeded in killing five or six rebel
pickets), they had little of importance to communi
cate on their ratings. We remained there from Sa
turday till Monday morning, when the reports of
the firing of heavy cannon in the direction of Lees
burg warned us that an engagement was taking
place, and many secret prayers went up from the boys
that the balls from the Union soldiers' pieces would
tell heavily in the enemy's ranks. TO ell thought
that the long-wished-for day had come ; that Banks
had crossed the river and was driving Johnston
towards us, and that now Pennsylvania would have
a chance to meet the enemy. But our wishes were
not to be gratified, for we were ordered back, and
taking our positions, were soon marching from Diffi
cult creek to camp.
It was with the deepest regret that we learned of
the death of the gallant Baker, at Leesburg. It
was this battle that was going on as we returned.
We thought it strange that we were not sent on to
attack the enemy in the rear, as the boys were all
anxious for an encoantor, and could have ranched
the battle ground in two or three hours. But our
turn with the foe will come round before long.

The Sword in the Window.
[For The Prees.]
I paused at the lofty window,
Where shone thro' the spotless pane,
ruit many a glittering e jewel,
W ith the hues of a thousand rainbows
Thro an ever shimmering rain.
There stood at the window beside me.
Full many a matron and maid ;
But they gazed not on the jewels.
For upon a erimion ctmhiun
Lay a noble battle blade.
Golden and pearl its scabbard.
Its hilt all diamond and gold,
And its blade of right Damascus,
It flashed from its crimson cushion
Like the flaming mord Of Old.
I asked a fair-haired maiden
What name was on the blade :
She looked not again on the weapon,
But her slender form dilated,
And a light in her blue eye played
It the gift of a gratefal city' '—l
In a clear, sweet voice, she.said—
t; To her. best and bravest soldier ;
"Xis the sword of GEORGE McCr.Er,r,.is ;
God's blessing upon his head !
But another dove-eyed woman.
As I turned me to depart,
Her delicate hand fast clenching,
Cried, .; Ay ! I.ls the sword of 24.4.•C1.af,Lax,
And I would it were in his heart !"4F
Then the matrons and maids beside me
Rtrank back. with sudden dread,
And shuddering cry of horror,
On this fiend in a sister's likeness—
But the dove-eyed woman had fled.
And a vague suspicion seized me,
As of something dimly seen—
Of n wierd and monstrous something.
Half woman and half serpent,
Like the • tenthly Geraldine !
