Notes on Literature.
Tho forthcoming number, for December, will
commence the twenty-fourth volume of Harper's
Magazine. As n little bird generally whispers in
our cur the names of tho leading papers and their
writers, wo can give some idoa, in advance, of this
coming number. Imprimis, it will contain sixty
six illustrations. The articles thus treated are:
The Coast Rangers of California| No. IV, by J.
Roes Brown; Malting Money—Tho United States
Mint, Philadelphia, (with twenty-eight engravings,)
by AValdo Abbott; Tho Oltayango River, by A. 11.
Guernsey; Anthony Trollope’s Orloy Farm and
W. M. Thacltoray’s Advonturos of Philip, and the
Editor’s Drawer. Among the other noticeable ar
tides will be; A Wife’s Story, by Mrs. Louisa
Chandler Moulton; Mount Victory, by Mrs. Alice
E. Haven ; The Reign of Sultan Abdul-Medjid, by
Dr. William Goodell, of Philadelphia; Still Un
known, by Mrs. R. S. Stoddard; Mr. and Mrs,
Meyer, by Miss Rose Perry ; Blue-Yam Stock
ings, by T. S. Arthur; Colonel Baker, by John
Hsy, assistant private secretary of President Lin
coln, with the usual Monthly Record of Current
Events, and the Editor’s Table, Easy Chair, and
Foreign Bureau. The papers on Money-Making
are admirable, Tho first appeared in November,
and treated of the Assay Office, New York; in
December, the Mint in Philadelphia is described
and illustrated; the third and concluding paper
will probably appear in tho February number, and
will describe (be manufacture of bank notes and of
United States notes.
Haeit.r’s Weeklv.— Wc do not often notice
single numbers of newspapors ; but must say that
next Saturday’s issue (already out) of Harper’s
T Vctily is a remarkable shoot. In addition to
nows, foreign and domestic, and literature, (which
includes Bulwer’s new romance, “ A Strange
Story,’’Jithas twenty-one engravings, one of which
covers two pages. Among these, three are to be
specially pointed out, viz : A charming moonlit
Virginian landscape ; a whole page full-length por
trait, “ like as life,” of Thuilow Weed, the most
influential politician in the State of New York ;
and a shaded map of South Carolina, in which, by
the depth of respective tints, the comparative per
centage of white nnd colored inhabitants is seen at
a glance. In parts of the districts of Charleston,
Colleton, Georgetown, and Beaufort, the colored
people count ninety out of every hundred.
The Albion.— Messrs. Young and Ahern, pub
lishers of ibis excellent weekly New York journal.
Announce Us reduction to half price (i. e., from SB
to S 3) from the commencement of 1862. The an
nual issue of the famous Albion engravings will
cease, but the literary merit and political charac
ter of the paper, fairly sustained during its forty
years' existence, will bo preserved. Wa do not
know a more readable journal.
A new legal text-book is announced from the pen
of Professor Theophilus Parsons, (Cambridge Uni
versity,) son and biographer of the late Chief Jus
tice of Massachusetts, and Author of Treatises on
the Law of Contracts, on Maritime Law, and
on the Laws of Business. It will be a
Treatise on the Law of Promissory Notes
and Bills of Exchange, in two Svo. vo
lumes, to be published by J. B. Lippincott <S (jo.
Professor Parsons has been employed on this work
for & number of years, and covers tbe whole ground
by bringing the subject down to the present day,
by a thorough Investigation of ail recent English
and American authorities.
In the new number of the London Quarterly
Review, (received from IV. B. Zieber,) aro many
valuable papers on literature, science, and history,
but the “ crnck article” is a kind and tolerant bio
graphy of Percy Bysshe Shelley, perhaps the most
purely imaginative poet of his time.
“ For Better, for Worse," a novel of English so

“ East Lynne; or, Tho Earl’s Daughter,” repub
lished by Dick & Fitzgerald, N. Y., is a sensation
tale of English life, somewhat tedious in parts, but
powerfully worked up, reminding ue of some of
Mis. Marsh’s early fictions. Thor* Are somo curious
errors in it. “East Lynne” is by Mrs. Henri
Wood, who had previously written ten other
novels, all of which are announced for republica
tion here. She is not exactly in the finjt pgafe of
novelists, but is better than most of the Shthors
who throw their minds into fiction. We notice that
a translation of “ East Lynne” is now being pub
lished at Paris, in Let Batrie.

A neat 16mo volume, entitled ‘ 1 Record of an Ob
scure Man,” published by Ticknor and Fields, is a
singular monograph upon the subject of Slavery, or
rather of the Negro. Ingeniously hung upon the
thread of a slight narrative, are a number of anec
dotes, traits, and evidences illustrating the intel
lect and feeling of the African race. A gentleman
named Colvil, son of a clergyman, is the person
supposed to bring forward »U these illustration*,
and his own character is sketched in a graphic
manner. His death is mentioned, with the iutiina
tion that his writings were left at the disposal of
the author of the “Record,” and among them is
named “ The Tragedy of Errors,” (scene in the
South, time before 1830,) whioh Ticknor and
Fields announce as being in the press.
The Lutheran Board of Education here hare pub
lished a tiny volume, « The Sehooimastor and his
Son : a narrative of events which occurred during
the Thirty years’ war : by Rev. K. Caspari.” It is
translated from the third German edition. Dr.
Caspari, the author, is a Lutheran fUrgynan, HOW
settled in Munich, Bavaria, who was formerly pas
tor of Sommerhausan, a village situated on the right
bank of the Main, in Lower Franconia. Among the
old church records there he found those belonging
to the period of the Thirty Years’ War, (1618-
1648,) written by the schoolmaster, Udalricus Hast.
From these and other documents Dr. Caspari col
lected materials out of which he composed 11 The
Schoolmaster and bis Son”—actually it personal and
historical relation in autobiographical form. The
book, which has been very popular in Germany,
records the adventures of Gast and his son Valen
tine, who, after several years’ military service un
der Gustaves Adolphus and others, returns home
broken in health and dies in his father’s arms, a
Christian in hope and faith. The narrative por
tion of this work, chiefly in Valentine’s letter de
scribing the campaign, is truthful and spirited,
The book is so well translated as to read like an
original.

A mere catch-penny, albeit issued by such re
spectable publishers as Rudd & Carloton of New
York, is a 12mo volume, printed on very thick paper
to give it bulk, Willed the 11 Life and Writings
of General Nathaniel Lyon.” Out of 260 pages
of print—small pages of large type—less (has ft
dozen are occupied with a very slight sketch of Ly
on’slife before the outbreak of the Rebellion, All
of the remainder of the volume is made up of ex
tracts from newspaper correspondents, despatches,
anti-Douglas leading articles, in a Kansas paper,
during the presidential campaign of 1860, and de
tails of funeral ceremonies, Lyon was ” bravest
of the brave,” and merited a better biographer
than the mere book-maker who has here taken him
in hand. The very frontispiece is a blunder. It
is aportrait, inscribed “ Capt. Nathaniel Lyon, U.
S, A„ (now Brig. Gan. U. S. A.) thus ignoring
the fact of his death. A poorer performance, from
first to last, has not met our eye for a very long
time.

CAPTURE OF SLIDELL AND MASON.
Fortkess Monroe, Nov. 15, via Baltimore.—
The United States steamer San Jacinto has just ar
rived from the coast of Africa, via the West Indies,
where she has been cruising some six weeks.
Old Point was electrified by the tidings that she
has now on board Messrs. Mason and Slidell, who
were going abroad as ministers of tho Southern
Confederacy to England and France.
They were taken from an English steamer in the
channel of the Bahamas.
The San Jacinto will proceed to New York with
her prisoners.
Com. Wilkes reported the news at headquarters
in person, and will forward his despatches to Wash
ington to-night.
Fortress Monroe, Nov. 16.—Slidell and Ma
son were taken from an English mail steamer on
theSth inst., ofi Bermuda.
Lieut. Fairfax and thirty-five armed men went
on board from the San Jacinto with five officers,
find picked out tbe rebel commissioners, They
made a feeble resistance, but were induced to
leave. The captain of the English steamor raved
nnd swore; called the United States officers “ pi
ratiei.l Yankees,” 3te.
Mr. Euelis, Off* 6f the rsbel Secretaries, alee re
sisted, but himself aud colleague accompanied their
employers into confinement.
Mr. Slidell had his wife and four children on
board. They wore allowed <9 proceed to Europe,
Captain Charles TVflkos, who is a New Yorker,
had an interview with General Wool, and expressed
the opinion thatj he had done right, and said that,
right or wrong, these men had to be scoured; and
if he had done wrong, he could no mors than he
cashiered for it.
Arrival of Captain Taylor at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 16.—Captain Taylor, who
has arrived here with despatches, reports that
when the San Jacinto stopped at Cienfuegos, the
escape of Slidell and Mason was ascertained. Pro
ceeding thence to the Bahamas, it was understood
that they had taken passage on the 7th instant, on
the British mail steamer Irent, plying between
Vera Cruz, by way of Havana, to St, Thomas and
Southampton.
While tho San Jacinto was in the narrowest
part of the Bahamas channel, about twenty-feur
miles to the westward, they met the packet, and,
as usual In such cases, fired a shot across her bOW
and brought her to.
Two boats were then sent to her, under the com
mand of Lieut. Fairfax, who boarded the packet
and arrested Mason and Slidell, who were person
ally known to him. They at first objected to being
removed without the employment of foroe for that
purpose. However, they were soon after removed
without further trouble, and conveyed to the San
Jacinto.
Messrs. Eustis and McFarland were also brought
onboard, and they are all now on their way to New
York.
The packet had no other flag save lier ovm —that
of Great Britain.
The remainder of the passengers, including the
ladies connected with the Slidell and Mason party,
were not molested, and W9FS therefore left to pur«
sue their journoy.
The official despatches are voluminous,'and in
clude several accounts of the capture, together
with the protest of Messrs. Slidell and Mason
being taken from a British chip.
The Manner of the Arrest of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell.
The manner of the arrest of Messrs. Mason and
Slidell appears to have gratified the remains of Se
cession amongst us not a little, from the hopes en
gendered on the part of these enemies of their
country that it may lead to a war with England ■
It only shows the revengeful spirit that actuates
the hereßy, forgetful, as it makes them, that they
would bot be exempt from the inflictions of a com
mon evil. Bnt let them not comfort themselves in
such wise. Let them remember a case, somewhat
parallel, where General Jackson entered Spanish
territory in the olden time in search of tho enemies
of the nation, seised on a fortress and hoisted over
it the American flag, an act jutilfled Ay ike Go
vern matt afterwards , and whieh did not produce
a war with Spain; and although General Jackson
executed two British subjects found there as ene
mies of our oountry, England, although angry, did
not go to war about that, So let them try for com
fort somewhere else.
Sinco the abovo was written farther intelligence
puts a somewhat different face upon the arrest of
Messrs Mason and Slidell. It appears these par
ties were taken from on board the British steagjcr
FingaL The Fingal cleared from Greenock Wbont
the 15th of October for “Madeira and the Coast of
Africa.” Her cargo consisted of 11,341 rifles,
400,000 cartridges, 500 sabres, “a quantity of
wrought leather belts,” seven tons or shell, and
four pieces of artillery. The London Post, the
organ of Lord Falmerston, in noticing the depar
ture of the vessel, says: “African ‘trade guns’
are pot penally rifles, and it is just possible that
our Greehdok contemporary has, by a slip of the
pen, substituted 1 and tlw Coast of
Africa ’ for 1 the Southern Coast of North
America, ’’ ’ The Fin gal ran into Bermuda where
the Confederate steamer Nashville was, transferred
her cargo to that steamer, and then started to re
turn to England with Messrs. Slidell and Mason.
If theße are the true facts in the case, they will
have an Important bearing upon it. The Fingat
was undoubtedly engaged m illicit trade, and
England, under the circumstances, will not have
much to complain of. —Baltimore Americui.

“A Maryland Heroine.”
Tlie Richmond correspondent of the Nashville
Union says: Amongst the notabilities of tho city,
there is a Maryland heroine, young, pretty, won
derfully intelligent nnd accomplished, who pre
serves the strict incognito, and i 8 known avon to,
her most intimate acquaintances only as Mademoi
selle Nina, small in person, and delicate, almost
fragile. She has, nevertheless, the courage of a
lioness. Her whole soul is bent on the liberation
of Maryland, and were her deeds tending to this
consummation to bo known, she would rank among
the moet famous women of history. Alone, unaided,
by routes known only to herself, she passes through
the Confederate and Yankee lines, carrying hope to
the oppressed, and bringing material comforts for
the free but exile sons of her native land.
Reliable Letter from Beaufort.
Beaufort, Nov. 10.—I rode to Beaufort yester
day. Two gunboats were aground near Fort Lit
tleton (some two miles below Beaufort), and one was
lying at anchor a- short distance below. The ne
groes were flocking into and out of the town laden
with prog. Those whom I spoke to answered me
with civility. lam convinced that they have been
led by the desire of obtaining at cost those artieles
commonly so dear to them. They refused to enter
Wilcox’s store while he was in town. A young
man, whose perceptions of truth were not blighted
by fear, as he turned and rode back with me, told
me that tbe first boat came ashore with a white flag,
and that the negroes ran to the wharf to see the
Yankees.
Up to tbs vary town Imw fiegfoce who had been
entrusted with saving their mastors’ property, while
the latter removed the family, faithfully executing
tho commission. Under the circumstances, Ido not
consider the state of things so bad. What can wc
expeotwhen planters leave entirely to themselves a
pcoplo who huvo never been accustomed to perform
the smallest task without a director ? The Yankees,
I suspect, are only feeling their way up the streams,
and will not land in any place except at the point
where they intend to entrench themselves (perhaps
Colleton Neck), where their frigates will find a sufe
roadstead.
I think that Strong bodies of horse could easily
enable the planters to bring up their negroes.
These conclusions arc drawn from what I saw yes
terday. The whole aspect of affairs might be
changed maday. —Charleston Mercury, of Jfov
11th.
Rebel Account of the Belmont Bottle,
The Memphis Avalanche, of Nov. 11th, says:
Wc have received from our highly intelligent
military friend, Major Bledsoe Harmon, who has
just returned from a visit to Celumbus, the follow
ing particulars of the late engagement:
From ten to twelve regiments of the enemy ef
fected a landing on the Migsouri side, about five
miles above Columbus, by lund. Information of it
was immediately brought in by the pickets of Tap
pan’s regiment, encamped opposite Columbus, and
communicated to General Polk, who immediately
began preparations to send reinforcements to Tap
pnn, steam having to bo raised for tbe transportation
of the troops across the river. In the meantime the
enemy came down at doublc-quiek, and attacked
Tappan’s regiment, which had to fall back; when
Pillow arrived with Pickett's, Wright’s, Knox’s,
Walker’s, and Freeman’s regiments, and gave the
enemy battle in an open square of about 700 acres,
oi> which tbe trees bad been felled, the Federate
being concealed in the surrounding woods and
brushes.
Our troops fought here at a great disadvantage,
being exposed to tho fire of the skulking Federals
without having a fair chance at them, hut yet they
made a gallant struggle, until, their ammunition
running out, they were compelled to return to the
river. The Federals then fell upon Tappan’s camp,
plundering and burning, and turned Watson’s bat
tery, which they had taken from us and posted
below them, on the steamers which were transport
ing our troops across. But a battery on the Ken
tucky side silenced its fire, while the 128-pounder
on the hill above Columbus, sending a few shots
among the main body of the Federals, sent them
howling back to the woods These shots, it is said,
were found several miles distant.
In the meanwhile, General Cheatham brought
over Marks’, Hassell’s, and Carroll’s regiments,
and, with Pillow, renewed the fight. A flank
movement was executed by Cheatham, in which
Marks’ Louisiana regimentdid good service, which
threw the enemy into disorder, and a disorderly
rout ensued, the Federals flying to their boats, four
or five miles distant.
Col. Smith's regiment, with Col. Blythe’s, haring
also gotten oyer, the former was despatched in pur
suit of the enemy,, while Blythe’s was afterwards
to follow to support it. Capts. Taylor and White’s
companies of cavalry, of Logwood’s battalion, also
joined in the pursuit, which was led by Geos. Polk,
Pillow, and Cheatham, the slaughter of the flying
Federal? being great.
But it teas when the; reached their boats and
embarked on the L. M. Kennctt, supported by
their gunboats, that the butchery was most terrific/
Packed together on the boat, lying at the shore, ig
dense Ui&GSes, Smith’s regiment poured on them for
half an hour, from a distance of only eighty yards,
an incessant fire. An immense number were killed
and wounded, the gutters around the boat filled
with torrents of blood, which crimsoned the river
Br?yEd fer a considerable distarmo. and the desks
so slippery that the men could scarcely Btand.
These who approached the wheel were shot down
as fast as they appeared, so that they were com
pelled to move the boat into the stream without
guidance.
The guns of the gunboats, lying close to the shore,
shooting too high, were inefficient, until they got
into the river, when Col. Smith withdrew his men.
So hast; was the retreat of the boats that all the
cables were out, leaving us a full supply of them.
The battle throughout was exceedingly fierce.
The fire on Pillow s force in the first instance was
tremendous. Tbo Federals fought with unusual
bravery. They were picked men—the very flower
of the forces on the Mississippi—their best marks
men. Only our superior generalship and the des
perate courage of our men gave ns the victory.
Captain John Morgan estimates the loss of onr
eniire army at about 100 killed and less than 200
wounded. The enemy lost about 400 killed and
700 wounded. We have 91 prisoners and. over 100
of their wounded in our hands. He says that Mc-
Clernand’s haversack was found upon the battle
field, and his nice snack eaten by our men. It was
well understood that the plan of the enemy was to
take the Missouri side and erect fortifications, while
seventeen regiments were to move upon Columbus
from the other side, and, making a simultaneous
attack, take the place and capture the Confederate
army. From some cause the enemy did not ap
proach from the Kentucky side, and to this fact the
enemy attribute their discomfiture.
From Cairo—The Rebel Loss at Belmont.
Cairo, Illinois, Nor. 16.—(Special to the Chicago
Evening Jonrnal.) —It has been ascertained that
the rebels at the battle of Belmont had 251 killed,
427 wounded, and 278 missing.
Latest from Tennessee,
The following important telegraph news is from
the Memphis Appeal of the 11th :
Nashville, Nov. 9.—Gen. Breckinridge arrived
here to-day from Richmond. He is assigned to the
command of a brigade at Bowling Green.
Returns show that the Union men of Tennessee
did not vote at the recent election, for the reason,
it is understood, that they do not acknowledge the
Confederate Government.
The Bowling Green correspondent of the Union
mid American says 100 Lincolnitea were seat to
Brandenburg, Meade county, last week. The
Southern men killed six, and drove the rest from
the county.

Arrival of the Fingal.
I Our readers, says the Day liooiot the 15th, will
1 remember an nrticle which we copied from the New
York Herald, a week or so- ago, in which Bennett
expressed a considerable degree of curiosity to know
what the Frugal was going, to toko rifled cannon,
arms and munitions of war to- the West Coast of
Africa for. We can infbrm that individual now
that the Fine-—.' hnv arrived'at n destination : but
owing to stress si weather, convenience of harbor or
seme other caure, sbe made the port of Savannah,
instead of Cungariver, whore sh& met *n eager sot

How to avoid the Sliylocks in- salt.
Merchants who are satisfied witlr- reasonable

Shylocks, can obtain supplies at cast, by sending in
their names, with proper reference, to Mr. Ok W.
Camp, at the Court House in Petersburg, Va., who
advertises in the papers of that city that, as soon as
a Sufficient amount is subscribed to-raake a train
load of salt, he will visit the salt works in Wash
ington county and obtain a load. He expects to
deliver it in Petersburg at about S 4 por sack).and
to do all this without making a cent for his time
and trouble Ho is a well-known citizen of Peters

down spodulatoH ln this necessity of life. W# also
learn that Messrs. Lepage It, Brothor, of this city,
have expressed a willingness to - furnish salt from,
the salt works at nn advance of only ten per cent,
on its actual cost.
Another Cargo of Arms;
“It gives us great pleasure,” gays the Richmond)
Enquirer, “to announce that another steamer has
arrived in a Southern port, from England, laden
with arms and munitions of war for the Confederate
Government. This intelligence was received here
yesterday. Tho vessel itself, we understand, as
well as the cargo, has been purchased by tho Gov
ernment. ller cargo consists of from eight to ten
rifled cannon, (which wore originally intended—tell
it not in Gatb—for the Federal Government,) 2.800 ■
stand of arms, a large quantity of powder-for can
non, large quantities of blankets, overcoats, army
and navy shoes, saddlers' tools for artillery pur
poses sufficient to equip fourbattalions. She also
brings a large quantity of medicine and assorted
goods. The vessel cost about $200,900, and hor
engines are powerful. Her carrying capacityis
about 1,610 tons, and she was one of the swiftest
stenmers in British waters. There is nothing in
American waters that can eope with her when she
shows her heels. Sbe carries a heavy armament, as
the Yankees will some day learn.”

Passed Through.
Col. Stoval’s battalion, numbering about six
hundred men, passed through Lynchburg Tuesday,
from Richmond, to engage is as important work in
East Tennessee, Traitors and Unionists will soon
be scarce in the bridge burning section, we are
inclined to believe, unless, contrary to expectation,
they are determined to show fight. In that event
they will be exterminated to a man. No quarter
should be given to the traitorous rascals, but they
should swing to the first tree convenient to the
placo of their capture.
Going Home.
Four more companies of the First North Carolina
Regiment passed through Petersburg on Tuesday
evening, on their way to their homes. A large
crowd assembled at Jarratt’s Hotel to welcome
them, and bid them God speed.
We regret to announce that Gov. Letoher has
sustained a severe domestic bereavement in the

aged about four or five years.
Prices at Petersburg.
The Petersburg F&tpWss, under the beading of
11 The Difference," says:
Eggs are selling ont in lowa at one cent per dozen
—here they sell for twenty-five cents. There corn
can readily be bought at fifteen cents per bushel—
here it is worth seyenty-fiyp (q eighty cents i there
apples sell for twenty-fivo cents per bushel —here
money can hardly buy a bushel; there flour is
worth four dollars per barrel—here it is worth from
seven to eight or nine dollars; there salt is selling
for one dollar and a half per sack —here at fifteen
dollars. But tIIG3G MG Gfily a few of the effects of

South.
The same paper thusquotes the market for salt:
SAt/r.—The recent advertisements about getting
salt from the mountains, (or in Western Vir
ginia,) so far from putting down the market, seem
to have had just a contrary effect, as the market
to-day was very active and excited. Sales of 150.
sacks fine at $l5, and 50-at $15.50, and no more to
be had at those prices ; holders generally are ask
ing 920, which we are advised is the price in Rich
mond, and also in Lynchburg. Stock is being re
duced rapidly. As reporters of the market, we
have only to say that, if buyers had paid more at
tention to our opinion, and less to the “bastard”
publications which have appeared from time to
time in the newspapers, they would have been
much better off. gome little fine was sent off to
day at $l6. We quote ground Alum at 514a14.50;
Virginia fine, in half, sacks, $B. A lot of 10 sacks
Liverpool fine was soldyestorday at $16.25.
Oats in the sheaf are selling at very high prices,
say 52a2.25 per 100 lbs.

Affairs in St, Mary Parish, Louisiana
The Franklin (Ln.) Register has the following:
So far, we have not been visited with the slightest
frost, and from present appearances we expect none
for several weeks to come.
It 18 said that the Lincoln blockading fleet bos
left our coast for parts unknown. We are glad to
hear it, and hope that we shall never have the task
of announcing its return.
A large number of our planters have commenced
sugar making. We are sorry to (qgta that the
yield, owing to the very unfavorable weather for
maturing the cane, is not as good as should be;
and the quality, too, owing to the same cause, is not
the best. But we now have fair prospects for good
weather for the future, and we feel sure that the
yield will greatly improve, and the quality also.
Wo do notyet despair ofa very large sugar crop
this season—the largest ever made in the parish—
say between 50,000,000 and 55,000,000 of pounds,
equal to about 45,000 or 50,000 hogsheads of I,loft
pounds each, which, even at four cents per pound,
will produce an aggregate of $2,800,000, leaving
the molasses out of ‘the count. The value of the
agricultural product of St. Mary, this season, may
be put down, in round numbers, at $3,000,000 at
the lowest figure.

AFFAIRS M KENTUCKY.
Aff airs iff- the Southern I'ortion
The Louisville- Jovrntrl says : There are S.CKV7 ‘
daily arrivals ii> this city from the headquarters o
the rebel army in Southern Kentucky, and alnos
daily departure.:-from Louisville, wc regret to ’
learn, of persons who pass tho Federal linos and
make their way !? tbc ro«i States. Those who -
arrive from tho iiuAh nre generally bound by their
oaths or honor to impkrt no information in reference
to the numbers, disposition, and purposes of the
rebel troops. We are not informed ns to the pre
cise terms upon which l travellers-from this city for
the South are permitted to depart, but our confi
dence in rebel honor is so "shaken that we do not
believe for a moment that' ths« would hesitate to
violate their solemn oaths,-or to disregard a pledge
of honor, however deliberately made. Now and
then, however, a loyal man‘who has evaded the
obligation of secrecy ordinarily enforced by the
rebel authorities, breaks ttnongh-ilhe Confederate
lines? and makes his way to Letuivillfii Fttm
such sources wo sometimeg gain reliable informa
tion as to the movements and designs of the rebels.
A gentleman arrived in this city on Sunday laat
who was perfectly free to disclose such information
as he possessed, and we have had" the satisfaction
to converse with him.
Tho gentleman alluded to has eonsldorablo
time in Bowling Greßn, and has mingled somewhat
with tho rebel authorities in that vicinity. He is a
gentleman of intelligence, too, and close observa
tion, and any statement that he may make may De
regarded as free from the color of exaggeration.
He informs us that the advance of the rebel army
on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
is at Rocky Hill, nine miles above Bowling Green,
and the largest estimate he makes of the force
there is two thousand. The extent of the fortifica
tions and defences at Bowling Green hare been ex
aggerated. There are but three batteries there,
filid ho docs net deem the works at all formidable.
He is elearly of the opinion that the forces in the
vicinity of Bowling Groen, denominated here com
monly as Buckner's army, but, in reality, under
command of Gen. Johnston, do not exceed fifteen
thousand men, and that their effectiveness ha 3 been
greatly reduced by sickness and death. The pre
vailing disease is typhoid fever, which has reached
almost the form of an epidemic.
Gen. Buckner had recently taken forcible pos
session of the residence of Mr. Joseph Younglore,
in Bowling Green, and is now occupying the man
sion as a residence for his own family. The rights
of property in and about Bowling Groen aro to
tally disregarded by the rebel army, tho officers
appropriating everything to their own use that their
fancy may deem serviceable.
A large amount of property owned and held in
trust by Mr. Joseph Quigley at Cave City, was
thus converted to tho use of the army. The hotel
there was confiscated and occupied as an army hos
pital, and other property there has been appropri
ated by the rebel army without so much as a pre
tence of remuneration to the owners
A fow days ago Mr. Quigley made application to
the rebel authorities for a memorandum, or some
other legal evidence that the property entrusted to
them hail been thus appropriated, but such evi
dence was withheld, and he treated to insult. Mr.
Quigley expressed himself rather warmly upon the
subject, insisting upon being placed in possession of
some written evidence that he had thus been de
prived of bis property, when he was arrested and
thrown into prison, through the villainy and trea
chery of Col. T. C. Hindman, of Arkansas. The
prison into which Mr. Quigley was thrown was of
the most loathsome character imaginable, and he* a
highly respectable citizen, was thus held for seve
ral days without the least provocation. A ColOUe
Allison, of Tennessee, finally interfered, and,
through threats of withdrawing his regiment from
Kentucky and offering himself as a hostage for Mr.
Quigley, with great difficulty procured his release.
Our Informant assures us that a very strong latent
Union sentiment prevails in the region of Kentucky
which baa been occupied by (be rebel army, aha
that thousands of loyal citizens there look forward
with eagerness to the hour of deliverance from the
traitorous oppression which they have so long and
so keenly felt.
Tike Military -Situation in Kentucky.
The Louisville correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes thus, under date of November
This will be the last week during which General
Sherman will be at the head of this department.
General Buell will assume the administrative on
Monday next, should his arrival, which is expected
on Saturday, hot be unavoidably delayed. In re
tiring from' tho position which he has been filling,
General Sherman goes into tho field and to more
active duty, and it is not unlikely that he is deter
mined to seek work not only for himself, but for his
men. He will assume control of the jggjg firiliy ia
the field, and push forward to active operations.
The indications are that winter will find our army
engaged in a campaign far south of Green river.
The advanced positions lately assumed by Generals
Crittenden and Thomas demand a similar move
ment on the part of General McCook. Te reader
this possible, large reinforcements are being hur
ried forward, and an effort at the concentration of
our three armies on Buckner will be made, if pos
sible, before Zollicoffer can get ready to move for
ward again from Cumberland Gap. The Kentucky
regiment? are te be employed in relieving com
plete regiments from the guarding of such
points as New Haven, Lebanon, Lebanon
Junction, Elizabethtown, Salt river mouth, Ac., and
those better prepared to engage the rebels are to be
forwarded to the advance posts. It is not probable
that tllfi rebels will winter ia Kentucky south of
Green river. If they succeed in gaining a victory
over Gen. Sherman and his Western boys, they may
find rest north of that stream. But that there is
any probability of such a victory, I doubt. Gen.
Sherman. I am inclined to suspect, is determined to
take advantage of Gen, Buckner, and fight only aw
a certainty
Gen. Sherman Engaging iu a “Naval
Expedition.”-
The Louisville correspondent of. the Chicage
Tribune, under data of November 121 k, shy s •.
Gen. Sherman is engaged at this time in fitting
out a “groat naral expedition,” whose destination
is as secret as was that under command of his name
sake. The “fleet” will consist of several of our
largest Southern trade steamboats—of sufficient
capacity to curry comfortably 1,000 men each.
The commissary department is now engaged in sup
plying the boats with a sufficiency of food. What
force will be sent on them, or in what direction, is not
known, None of the boats employed in this move)
incut can be floated in any of tho inland waters of
Kentucky, with tho exception of the Lower Cum
berland or Tennessee. Lsuspeet—l have no defi
nite information—that the purpose is to send men
and supplies up the Tennessee river.
The Cumberland Gap Expedition.
The same correspondent, writing about the ope
rations of the Cumberland Gap expedition, says :
Louisville, Nov. 11,1861.
The movements of the brigade of Genffj)}
Sritoepfi 1 have been somewhat bewildering, being
greatly at variance with what I was assured was,
Hie plan of the campaign in eastern Kentucky.
Two of the regiments composing this brigade wore
thrown hastily forward and immediately in the
rear of the retreating rebels under ZolUcoSbc.
They pursued them as far as_ Barboursville, and.
compelled them to leave their incomplete fortifica
tions at Cumberland Ford and fall back, to those
at Cumberland Gap. But no sooner bad this been
accomplished thag th? two regiments were marched
back in equal haste to London, and thonoe advanced,
on another route with the rest of the brigade to
Somerset Here the brigade went into camp on the
sth inst., while a battalion of Col. Woodford'srcgi
ment went forward to Monticello, and. subsequently
to Albany, to ascertain the position to whieh Col.
Staunton had fallen back. The'fact of the re-
treat of Staunton having been established, a
forward movement of tho entire brigade was
to hare taken place on Friday last. I have no de
finite information of the fact, but am led to.believe
from the advance mado by Cgl, Gjjder tom Colum>
b!a at the same time, that the brigade marched to
Albany on the Bth inst. Col. Grider has. a force of
1,400 men, and has been in camp at Columbia,
Adair county, until within a few days past. Many
of tho Union men, driven out of Monroe, Allen,
Cuittbs Hand and Clinton counties, by Staunton,
have joined Grider at Columbia, and being armed,
will swell his ranks to about 2,000 men. This force,
effecting a conjunction with Gen.SchoopfFs brigade,
will make his force a formidable one in tho rear of
Buckner, and an overpowering one ag apposed to
Staunton’s.
In the meantime Zollicoffer has been removed,
and the force at the Gap, largely augmented, is un
der the oommand of Gen. Lee, who hasarrivedfrom
Virginia. It is stated that this force will number
20,000 or more men, and that the purpose of the
commandant appears to ho to push forward into
Kentucky, and not remain during the winter shnt
up in the mountains. Indeed, it is to be suspected
that the pushing forward into the State is a neces
sity they cannot well avoid- Th® country in the
immediate vicinity of the Gap canuot subsist one
half the force said to be thoro, for n winter.
Whether a forward movement of this foroe will
effect the plans which pushed forward tho force
under Gen. Schoepffto Albany, it is impossible to
say. If the rebels do not advance almost imme
diately, lain inclined tothink not. Geq. Sherman
is making all haste to secure a orossing of Green
river, and the forwarding of a foroe sufficient to
make such a movement absolutely certain of suc
cess and security. Large reinforcements will be
feqrried forward. Already the Kentucky regi*
ments yet recruiting are relieving the regiments
wbieh have been stationed on the right and left
of the main railroad route to guard and protect
the flank approaches to the main body. These
regiments are ke)ng advanced to the SftUip at
Bacon creek. Other preparations are being made
which indicate that the offensive is soon to be taken.
Should an offensive movement be made by Lee
from Cumberland Gap, before Gen. Sherman shall
have made his from Green river, it is ppj improba
ble that Gcii. Scboepff will be compelled to return
to Gen. Thomas at London, or, iu the event of this
being impracticable, join Gen. Ward in the direc
tion of Glasgow.
