John Morgan has his headquarters at Hartsville, a Om miles from...Gallatin, and has issued a paper called the Fidafte, wherein the editor says he shall publish "semi-occasionally."- Morgan's fornis4itur reached the number of four thousand, and Ala be lieved that the intrepid guerilla intends to flank Gen. Morgan at Cumberland Gap, and "bag" his men, as a large rebel force baa left`Chattanooga to co-, operate with,somebodysomewhere. One thing we are assured of, the Cumberland Gap wires are in possession of 'the rebels. The rebels also have possession of the town of Clarksville, on the Cumberland_rivpr, and the large bridge over the Red river near there, has been do. - stroyed. On Monday evening, Generale Nelson and • Jackson started for Kentucky, upon *asmall steamer, and came within a few miles of agnerilla band, but were warned, I believe, by a 'Union man in thivier:' nity.

It re es no eulogy at ray hands speaks foi. itself . ,Expeurivst DEPA.P.TnENT., N'asrvrinai, Tenn., August 18, Srn:: There 'are many wives and helpless chiliirep in the city"of Nashirille,'and county or Davickson, who nano been reduced to poverty and wretched • ness in coitsequende of their husbands and fathers having been forced into the' armies of this and nefarioull rebellion. Their"- necessities hive become so manifest, and their demands for the no eessaries . of life so urgent, that the lawa of•justiosi and humanity will be violated unless something was done to relievelheir suffering and, destitute condi tion. Yon are therefore request -d to contribute the sum of dollars, „which you will pay .over to James Whitworth. Esq., judge of the county court, to be" by 'him distributed amongst these destitute families in such manner as may be prescribes'. Respectfully; /to., ANDREW jOSINSRN, Military Governor. You will readily, perceive ;that there , is nothing li wrong about the above. request," espeoiallyes it will be presentel to none hut wellthy Secesotionists. Furthers:is:lre, James Whitworth is a mean, low, in significant rebel himself, and considers it a moan thing to .be connected in such a humane "job " with mean, low, insignificant vagabonds. 'Farther, Mr. Whitworth was instructed to obtain the ser -Tices of as mean a rebel as could be found (if it be possible to find an honest one), to act as clerk.Con= nected with this job, I think, will transpire many . events worthy. of mention. I have seen several of the names of those who will be compelled ".pony np," if the " request " is . hot attended to as it ahould be. Most of the men who are invited to ocularly demonstrate their liberality have many a tinie declared their intention of supporting the wives 'and children of those who . are fighting-for the " Southern Confederacy." They mean fwell enough, probably, but had forgotten their promises, and the Governor thought he would Spur them up a little. Probably you 'have heard many rumors to the effect that • Chattanooga is evacuated: This is not the case, notwithstanding it was telegraphed to headquarters by the geueral in command. The first we heard of it was oh Sunday evening, and I immediately left up?nit. freight train for Steven. eon, by the kind ,permili'slop of Mr.; Anderson„ of. this place. : I arrived at Battle .Creek early Mon day morning, and found BaelPs army as I had left it, two weeks before• ,The 2d Ohio-had advanced some Jour miles to protect a ferry, and immense fortifications were being constructed by Gen. Crit ,tenden's command. Stevenson is almost surrounded by earth-Works. We have a large supply of ord nance and commissary goods at . this place undei Captain Palmer, therefore', the . fortifying ofthe town was an absolute necessity. ,* The Tennessee liver runs within Ave miles of-Stevenson, one side of which is occupied by the rebels.- No' flank movement can be made upon our Iforast st ' , Battle Creek,,as it-is impossible for the enemy to'oibeettib river. Large numbers of the rebel forge at Battletreek have disappeared, and it is believed that several regiments have loft Chattanooga. Ap I remarked above, the enemy are engaged in some movement of importance, and General .Buell probably under stands what it is. 'He will, I: nnderatand, make: Nashville his headquarters in +a few days. Ottr: own troops are moving here and Were, tint would be imprudent for me to transmiedetiiill. - believe, however, that Huntsville will yet 'hi, at, least, partially 'abandoned, as a plaoe of great.. importance.','At the" present time, Nashville is a very importAt point, as it is the centre of excite ments.!

Capt. C. H. Ganbert, quartermaster of tho place, had been an noyed frequently, of late, by roaming bands of neighbors, who bad formed themselves into .gne rilla bands. He represented-the case to Col. Mc- Henry, who permit ted; him to - take .measures for their arrest. Thereupon Capt. 4aanbert borrowed about thirty pinto's, and placed_ them into the hands _of his drivers, who mounted their mules and started in pu 'rSnit of the guerillas.

Wil liamsport and Hagerstown, with the ultimate intention of striking:at Harrisburg, Pa. They say that it was originally, intended that a large. body of rebel cavalry ahonld cross the Potomac river, by swimming, and make a dash upon , the Washington branch of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in the vicinity of Savage's factory, and thus destroy enough of the railroad to intercept the travel between Washington,` Baltimore, and Annapolis They also say it was design. cal to blow up the splendid bridge across the Patapscb at the Belay Dense, but that the idea has been abandoned, for the reason that it would probably invite en attack. upon Baltimore by the Union forts north and west of the city, and.on Federal Hill, as well as Port.hiolledry, - and thereby destroy the lives and property of the friends of the rebel cause in Baltimore. • WAR MEETING IN RUCKS COUNTY Thursday evening, September 4, a war meeting was: bold at' the Half-Way Rowse on the Philadelphia and Trenton turnpike, between the villages of Andalusia and - Rddington, in Bensalem township, in this county.

The people knew that ha had a considerable fo-oeneder him, and their. expectations _kept .pace with their impa tience to see the savages whc; bad desolated our frontier wiped out , speedily from the. face of the 'earth. Their impatience was natural, but their expectations more MY, and eventoolhhly, grounded. ' • • The people will be surprised •to learn that thenoin panies of the Bth 'Regiment taken by Colonel Sibley to St. Peter were rendered almost utterly ineffective by the worthless character of the arms issued to them. These arms were what aro called fi Austrian rifles," and to show their quality we will refer to an eeperintent made with them. Captain Grant's company, numbering sixty muskets, after thoroughly cleaning their arms and stiffen ing the springs of the locks by leather bolsters, attempted to lire a round, and of the sixty ft Austrian guns, mai._ twenty-nine could be made to explode . These were the kind of arms placed in the hands of the three or four companies sent with Colonel Sibley to St. Peter. • The troupe, compelling seven companies, which marched up the Talley under the command of Col. °rooks, Were, armed with the Springfield rifled, musket,. ei - .perfeiet weapon. -Rut these weapons were rendered almost worth... . . -less for the rennin that the eattridges sera along with them were of too large a calibre to be used. A shift wee - made, however; by recasting and " esveigliag" the balls, .. to use Such portions as were not wastedinkhat-process. • • Col. Sibley, in this dilemma, with warthlesa,guns fqe his geed cartriagee, and with wrong-sized cartridgeis for his good gnus, waited in St. Peter in daily expectation of supplies-of ammunition which hid been promised him, until his patience was .eixhansted ; when, on Tam day,. the 26th August, he moved his command for Fort Bidgley. - He mane this march with only ten rounds in the cartridge boxes of his men, and these were supplied • by recasting the wror.g- sized balls whieh had _unforta• nately been furnished him. These ten rounds, any one knows, would net bavesufliced for as many minut e.' and he ran en unjustifiable rick in marching toward ' enemy in such a condition. • _. • . Col. Sibley arrived with his men, and the ten rounda s on Thursday afternoon, and it was not UritilliaturdaY afternoon, the 30th August, that further- supplies Of OW.. munition reached him. Be then rhoetveit 46.000 oar tridges: but, neon examination, 22,000' of these wore found, as before of too large a calibre for hie guns . Weleft his enOampment, near Fort Ridgley; on Eitui day, the 31st, at which time the men wore trying, with their imperfect 'facilities. to recast the oversized balls, and orders were out to march on the succeeding day.' W. presume this was done ; but we presume, also, that if done, it was an unwarrantable and unmilitary prooeed frig on the part of Col- Sibley; 'for be could not have bad, taking into wenn& the wastage involved In making over his cartridges, more -than abortt , forty rounds to a man. Thirty minutes' fighting, of ordli ary briskness, would suffice to empty every cartridge'box; and with' tus reserve supply, his mon wenld have nothing to depend upon but tbeir bayonets or - their legs, either of which would amount todittle against Indiana 112ily armed,. abundantly supplied with ambit:milieu, and splen didly mounted' on the picked horses of the - frontier.

The Indians, have made no demonstration whatevei against the citizens of Crow Wing, and it is ail gammon about their having robbed the stores and trading houses 'at that point. To be sure, the pillagers broke open the trading houses at Leech Lake, about seventy miles from Fort Ripley ; but this is ,nothing worse than they have done frequently. The. prisoners taken by the pillagers Were well treated, and released befora the arrival of trapt. Hall from recruiting. serv.ice,below. -Capt.

The followmg. particn'ars we learn from Messrs Everett end Hatch, who escaped the massacre, and are now in the hospital at this place. Their state ments are thoroughly reliable: • The massacre at Lake Shetek commenced on. Wednes day, by the murder of two men. The wife and twit children of one—Mr. Heard—escaped, and through whom the alarm was giien. The settlers immediately. col lected in a house for the purpose of giving fight to the Indians. After discussing their means of resistance and the overpowering strength of the red devils : it was thought best to endeavor to escape. _ The wonien-and cbildren were placed in wagons for that purpose, guard red by the men. • „TEE INDIANS prastri—THElV TREACHERY, The party started, and, when . about two miles distant, they were pursued by the Indians. The women end children were taken from the wagons and hid in the tail grass The men were attacked, and two ran at the first fire. 7he remainder fought until Mr. Reath& was killed. and the other five wounded; Mr. Ireland mortally, and left on the prairie to die. At• this juncture the Indians came within speaking distance, and Staid if the women and children would come out they won'd not kill theta. The women did not want to go, but they were persuaded by the men, who hoped that their families might be saved "from butchery and afterwards ransomed by the Govern ment.' They finally consented, and started with the In dians. A son-of Mr. Eastlick, twelve "years old, followed the Indians a.shore distance, and then returned; saying that when about half a mite froner--- bakle women and-children—excepftg_ =wereev - wirm - Wnwere told that they would - Wlit until the war was .over. This is believed to be Correct, as the men distinctly heard the firing : ESCAPE - OF ONR`WONNDED, AND NETTER'. The five wounded men were left by the Indians to die. Mr. Ireland was,fatally wounded. •lhey remained lir the grass until they supposed the Indiani bad - disappeared., hen Mr. Everett wee assisted to his feet, and that gen tleman with Hectare. ,Hatch. and Bently started in the direction of New Dim to'make their escape. Mr. Duly took a different -direction, Everett, Hatch and Bentley wilked . sixteen miles, where they overtook a neighbor named layers, Who was escaping with his sick wife and - tonr children in' an' oxteaut: They got into the wagon and' continued 'their jourtioy until near New Ulm Myers left theteam to go into-town for assistance, and Wile* too near. - to turn back,•was pursued by Indians, but es caping them he reached the place in safety. After wait- . ing a reasonable time for Myers' return, the party resumed their journeywithout him. They continued until near Crystal Lake, in this county, where Captain Dane's own- Jenny, was encaropeil,:and mistaking his tents for Sion: tepees,. they left their• wagon and hid is a swamp. -Ire • doing so they were' fortunately observed by the soldier, . •who hunted this's up and brought them- to town.
