SOURDAY MORNING, OCT. II
THE EMANCIPATION PROC
LAMATION—ITS EFFECTS.
Four a whole year the Preaident of the
tini4d States manfully resisted the efforts
of tiie Abolition destructives to convert
the.liar against the rebels bet° a crusade
for 4egro emanciprtion. His replies to
all who approached him upon the subject
were; triumphant refutations of the theo
ries ;!advanced by the emancipationists.
In iqg Inaugural Address, the President
dwelt pathetically upon the fact that his
election was no cause for rebellion; that
he laid no feelings but those of kindness
for the people of the South. After these
assurances, he quoted from the Chicago
platform the following resolution, to prove
thaethe party which elected him had no
intention of interfering with the institu
tione of the Southern Slates. The follow
ing ilfthe resolution, and the President's
assurance to faithfully observe it:
•
4,lResolval, That the maintenance in
violate
a of the rights of the States, and es- , 1
pecially the right of each State to order
and;Control its own domestic institutions'
according to its own judgment, exclusive
ly, le essential to the balance of power on
whieh the perfection and endurance of our
political fabric depend; and we denounce
the ;lawless invasion, by an armed force,
of the soil of any State or Territory, no
matter under what pretext, as among the
grivinst of crimes."
I pow reiterate these sentiments, and in
doing so I only press: upon the public at
. tentibn the most conclusive evidence c.f
which the case is susceptible. The pro ! ,
ertkilpeace and security of no section are
to beau any way endangered by the now
incdpiing administration. I add to this.
that tall the protection which. consistently
witlzithe Constitution and the laws, can be
given, will be cheerfully given. to all the
Maas, then lawfuTly demanded for what
ereiause, as cheerfully to one section as
to another.
Fi;bm the day on which these assurances
weqgiven, up until the eleventh day of
last Linonth, when he informed the Chica
go_,
t;tbrrimittee that an edict of emancipr
tiontwOuld have no more effect in freeing
the slaves than the "Pope's bull against
the ;Comet," the President stood firm
in his convictions against the arguments
and ;intrigues of the emancipationists.—
At ingth, however, what coaxing and
• argninent failed to secure, immediately
appeared at the threat of Northern in
timidation. The radical extremists re
fused to furnish volunteers, unless the
policY of emancipation was immediately
proclaimed. Some of the New England
Governors, backed by the radical press.
were explicit upon this condition, assur
ing the President that if he did adopt their
policy there would be no need of draft
ing, ;because the roads would swarm
with *Ming and bounding volunteers.—
Greeley promised "nine hundred thous
and volunteers," instead of one-third that
number of conscripts, but as yet he has
not ftirnished one. It has not stimulated
volunteering in any direction, but, on the
contrary, it has caused discontent and
disaffSction where all should be unity and
deterMination. Disaffection bas even
ereptiinto the army, until Gen. McClellan
was forced to .-admonish them that their
duty was to obey the laws and not resist
_ them.i In no 'way has the' proclamation
done +particle of good, but in many ways
it has:inflicted incalculable harm.
Every measure proposed by the Aboli:
tionias for the suppression of the rebel
lion has been a miserable' failure. They
have no conception of the means and ways
necessary to put it down. All their legis•
lations,nd all their policy were and are
merely calculated to emancipate the
slaves! Freedom to the negro, not the
,restoration of the Union, has been their
end and aim from
_the beginning. And,
suppoe they succeed in their darling ob
ject ? ;the freeing of four millions of slaves,
what then? AVhat do they propose to-do
with them, and with the millions of whites
wi-e whose labor they will be 'brought in
competition ! The idea which Abolition
ists are now. laboring to propogate—
' that thii negroes will remain in the South
ern St4es—ie too transparent. They will
come !here, North, and especially into
the bbeder State of Pennsylvania.—
They Will settle here in thousands, And
they must be provided for at the expense
of white labor, or driven forth to starve
beyond, the limits of our State. Like some
other ' tates, Pennsylvania, should the
schemel of the emancipationists suc
ceed, will have to protect herself from
this t.lo.eatened influx of negroes.—
They never can live,in large numbers, up•
on terms of equality with white laborers,
and rillihe preaching of emancipationists
will never secure for them a less depend
ent poshion than that occupied by them at
the prea d enttime. In fact, the-freedom of
the slavis in the South, might be their en
slavement in the North. Mr. Lincoln, in
his deb* with Judge Douglass, in 1848,
expressed the opinion that the States
would, one day be-either "all free or all
slave," gad it is not impossible that if the
schemeeaf the Abolitionists are successful
we Italy live to see these States what they
were atthe beginning, all slave.. This is
just as ;Probable as that they will be all
free. thing, however, is certain.
White labor will not long stand the corn
petition'jlif the negro ; and should emanci
patioP take place, the manumitted mil
lions_ woild only find liberty to starve, or,
like the radians, (the owners of the soil,)
melt away before the exactions, the injus
tice, antdithe cruelties of our own race.
The pi;psent condition of the slaves i
the Uniocl States; their probable free
dom by this rebellion ; theie . subsequent
slavery, !proscription, or annihilation by
those who gave them liberty, will form a
history the most curious, inconsistent and
atrocioutithat the world has yet seen.

GEN..MOORHEAD
The General's vote in Congress, sustain •
ing Simon Cameron's operations, is de•
feuded by the Gazette, and that paper
coolly says :
" We are happy, moreover, to assure
the Post that Gen. Moorhead will continue
to vote as he did in this instance—and in
so doing .sustain the Government in the
la confidence of the people and their
sepresentatives t till this accursed rebel
lion, the work of Southern slaveholders
and their Northern loco-foco allies, shall
be finally crushed out."
The reader will see by this the Abolition
idea of sustaining the Government—which
is merely helping ourselves, through the
favoritisni of the War Trepartment, to 'such
snug contracts as are reserved for particu
lar favorites. this is the General's idea,
too. of helping the Government, and the
" experience" he has hSd in Congress
will enable him to help her more effective
ly than ever before: More than this, be
can help to keep one of the Gazelle men in
the army as a paymaster; he can keep In
c
other m ber of the craft in a sinecure
. 2.1 e rk sh 1 in Washington, to write lying
letters foi ' he Gazette, puffing the General
for "his energy" in secnring contracts:
while, at the same time, he can devote his
leisure moments to any outside operations
likely to yield the proper percentage.
This is going upon the supposition, how
ever, that he is going to be re-elected, a,
circumstance not at all likely to happen.
THE 'NEGRO
Occasionally we hear of bitter expres
sion:: made by the deluded rank and file of
the Rept:thaws concerning the negro,
who, they already see, will soon and
certainly become a thorn iu the sides of
the Northern white laborer. Bitter talk
about violent remedies may sometimes be
heard—the first grumbling sound ; of that
terrible thunder of public indignation
which must inevitably visit the negro and
his admirers.
If we could have any intfuenee with our
fellow-citizens, we would beg of them to
dis Miss all such bitter feelings. It is not
the negro who has thrust himself upon
you. He is the principal cause of sour
present and fast increasing trouble, hut he
is the helpless if not innocent cause.—
Turn aside from him, therefore: respect
the law always and leave it to punish even
the beastly licentiousness of the ignorant
black, newly turned loose upon Northern
society by the fanatic sympathy of crazy
destructives. The free white man who
has a vote, or hopes to, have one, has a
truer and abetter remedy for his grievan
,ces, and he can begin to apply it next
Tuesday, at the election. Let him vote to
turn out of of/i.•e the ruling Cahinet and
the present Congress !
Who has sent the negro to plague the
people of the North? Let the , e litets
answer:
1. For the last twelve monttts, iudoed
ever since the war began, hundreds and
thousands of negroes have drawn daily
rations at Washington, at Norfolk. ad
Beaufort, and at almost every Union mili
tary post. These idle blacks are regular
ly ted by the government at the expense of
the Northern tax-payer{ who now daily
sees the United States assessor.
2. Three weeks ago, Mr. Stanton, dis
regarding the black laws of Illinois and In
diana, directed Gen. Tuttle to send ne
gro women and children into the Northern
States, and the War Department would
furnish them with free transportation.
:3. Mr. Sumner, and other destructives,
say it is the dtittr of our people to furnish
"employment — for slaves cotn..g North.
4. Mr. Lincoln has issued a firoelsnia
tion to free the slaves in the revolted States
it shall be effective to the. end of its
publication, it will flood the North with n t .-
groes of all agei and conditions.
Mr. Lincoln has published and strong
ly supports the plan of buying the negroes
of the Border States with money raised by
taxing . the Northern_x_oters—and if he Fun - -
ceed, in buying the nee(ws, they mu-:t be
freed and kept here, or eoloni.-ed at .1 still
further expense !
It is not the poor A frieuit. then, that.ou
are to punish. much as you may di-like his
presence among yon. lint it -you wish re•
lief, vote to throw out of power and place
the reckless men who' have turned him I
loose and thust him upon youl,those who,
finding the negro much better oil' than he
can be here, and slavery dying out by the
very disease inherent in itself, have used
him as the means of separatit the nation,
and of plunging into protractee. •ar and a
fathomless debt and taxes.
Vote, then, against the aboiitiont, who
have brought these griefs upon you. Vote
for the only , party which can preserve You
alike from negroes and secessionists
STATEMENT CORRECTED
Mr. Editrpr-I think you have recently
stated that our worthy Congressmen,.l. K.
Moorhead, ores he is pleased to term him
self, the "poor tanner boy, - was a person
of decidedly selfish propensities, looking
out principally for No. 1, but in this I
think you are mistaken and will cite a easel
in point. The day after the last municipal
election the "poor tanner boy," met the
successful candidate for Mayor, Mr. Saw
yer, on Fourth street, 'opposite the Me
chanics' Bank ) and extended to him the
hand of congratulation, with these words
"Mayor, for I can now call you Mayor,
I
have done more for you than any other
man in Pittsburgh; I traveled ijO miles
for the express purpose of voting for you
yesterday.• Will you '6ll that selfish'?
But you may possibly say that previous
to the election he had promised not only
his vote, if possible, but his influence; to
his old neighbor and for a short time
(winter of 1854-5) political associate, H.
A. Weaver. What of that? Weaver was
defeated, and to secure what influence he
might have it was necessary something
should be done to make him believe that.
the whole thing had been "on the square,"
and so, true, enough, his "papers" for the
Assessorship of the 22d district were
handed in—we will not say because he
was the "highest and best biddei,"but we
will say that we lave heard that he had
little or nothing to do With the appoint

Election Prayers.
The Presbyterian Banner has the fol
lowing suggestions: " God bears prayer.
Men's hearts are in His hands, to turn
them as He will. He restrains the wrath
of man. He guides the inquiring in the
right way. All this being sb, we suggests
that Monday and Tuesday next be a
season of special prayer to God that He
will direct the people aright in crusting of
their votes at Tuesday's erection. We
would ask God to judge for us, and so in
fluence and guide us, that there may be
blessed results to the nstion, to the glory
of His own name." With' all due rever
ence we may say that modern politicians
generally employ what they consider more
effective means to attain theiiends, and
sometimes, we fear, the Lord would not
willingly panction the means used.

People of Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday next you are expeCted to

wall, on Tuesday - next, - either d e termineto
maintain the arch of the . State s,
will fall from hei proud historic position
—cleft down by a'policy that on. the one
hand furnishes "the lever of the power"
of thuee who seek to destroy our Union by
armed forties, oecasiontng disruption, and
which, also, on the other hand, tends „to
the destruction of the Union by the ab
sorption of the reserved- rights of the
States and of individuals into a centraliz€ d
power. . The Democrats and other loyal
citizens of Pennsylvania, will battle for
that Union, if the last man and the last
dollar, will restore it. Upon the policy to
be settled by the election may and proba
bly will depend the momentous issue:—
Shall we have the'Union ?
The right preservative of all other rights
in this : government is that of siffrage. The
Constitution of the Milted States provides
that "the powers not delegated to the
United States by 'the Constitution, nor
prohibited by it to the States, are reserved
to the States ,refpectfully, or to the peo
ple."
Among the reserved rights of the States,
is that to provide for elections by the pet) :
pie ? and to fix and determine the qualifi-
cations of voters. The Constitution of
the State of Pennsylvania determin•thue
a de
conditions upon which citizens ma
It limits such right to free white • e
e citi
zens, over tweuty-oue years of age, who
have resided in this State one year—within
their respective districts for ten days prior
to the election, and who have paid a State
k.r county tax within two years. These
conditions complied with, the necessary
qualification exists, and any proclamation
or order to defeat or restrict that right,
can have no greater , effect legally, than
tin the language of President Lincoln)
"the Pope's Bull against the Comet."
Any officer of an election refusing to
receive the ballot of an elector who comes
within these provisions is, under the en
actments of the General Election Law of
18:;o, liable to a criminal prosecution and
severe penalties. It is not for the citizen
to anticipate that there will be any attempt
to interfere with,, beyond constitutional
limits, the sacred right of suffrage. All
such attempts would be illegal, and would
invade the most vital guarantees of the
Constitution of our State, upon which de
pend the preservation of those rights of
the eiti.:en, which that Constitution asserts
to be "inalienable and indefensible.
Such rights as the citizen never can an
never will surrender, without degrading
his manhood and his posterity. We do
not apprehend that any attempt will be
!nude from any quarter, unless it may be
from some mere local assumption of
power, to interfere with this sacred light.
Still, — Eternal' vigilanoe is the price of
Liberty," and it is but ; proper that every
citizen should be watchful of a constitu
tional guarantee, without which all others
are finite. We know that we assert the
most ready promptings of every manly
heart, when we say that upon no consid
eration whatever would the slightest inva
sion of this sacred right for a moment be
tolerated.
lu despotic governments, the remedy
for the people against oppressive exercise
of power is revolution. Here, this can
never be necessary, for all usurpation of
power is, in its nature, of itself revolution
ary: while those over whom the naurpa•
dun is sought to be exercised act only up
on the defensive. They ate fortified by
the guarantees of the:Constitution.land are
the true supporter- of the Government and
of law. .4 s lone as the right 'Of suffrage
remains, all . tl,e wrongs committed by
public sep ants may be corrected. W.
Shull, therbfore. exercise the right of suf
frage, with no limitations upon it, except
those imposed by the Constitution of our
State.
}lt is asked, by those who differ from us
politically, and who committed thdegre
gious error of assuming that loyalty is hom
age to public servants, instead of fealty to
the Constitution and laws, what do you
propose to accomplish by the success of the
Democratic party at the ensuing election ?
We answer--to promote the maintenance
of the Constitution as it is, and restora
tion ofthe l'nion as it was. Many of them
raply to, us, that we can never have the
Union as it was--that we must either have
"the abolition of slavery or separation."
Upon thit we join issue, and this, fellow
countrymen, is the veritable issue before
us. hall we have the Union as our fat -
ers made it, or shall we sacrifice it at t e
shrine of abolition fanaticism ? Let eve y
' patriotic heart respond thht we will n t.
sacrifice this glorious Union for the mi -
taken purpose of freeing the negroes; th t
we will not involve 27,000,000 of whi e
men in ruin for the purpose of makingsti 1
more degraded 4,000,000 of black men;
that we still protect and uphold the
Constitutional Government of the Un -
ted States as one formed, in the lar
gouge of the lamented Douglas, "upon the
white basis, by white men, for white me'
and their posterity forever." The pn
pose of the Democratid party is to sa
the Union. This can only be done by tit
holding that which forms the Union, th
Comititution of the United States. T
claim to support the Union by violatin •
the Constitution is to seek to build up b
tearing down—to protect by destroying.
Our complaint against the Secessionists i
that Secessionism violates the Constit. •
tion of the United States, and thereby de
stroys the Union. How, then, can w•
ask them to observe that Constitution an
repect thdt Union, through means tha
violate the one and, destroy the other'?
We should compel them to respect an.
observe the Constitution of the Unite.
States, but in doing so it is our impera
tive duty to respect and observe it our
selves. \ ,
The Union nak•be destroyed in either o
two ways,-viz: b disintegration into sep
orate States, or by bsorption of the right.
of the States and of individuals into that
of a centralized power. The Secessionists
would destroy the ynion by the former
mode; the purposes of Abolitionism pro
i
mote the latter. It is the mission of the,
Democratic party of this State to defeat
the schemes of all disunionists. Seces
sionism, when, as now, sought to be car
ried out by armed force, must be put down
by armed force. Abolitionism must, and
can be, put down by the ballot box. We
have Democratic brethren, and other
loyal men in the field, who will do the';
one; we have, we trust,. enough of the
same kind of patriotic citizens at home
Who will, at the ballot box, accomplish
the other.
!For the Post
Let us, then, as the friends of the Con
stitution and the Union, at the coming
election, elect those who are in fact, as
well as in name, the friends of the Union,
and we shall then' be faithfully represent
ed:. We will no longer have the violation
of the most sacred of rights—the right of
free speech and a free press; of the people
peaceably to assemble: to be secure against
unreasonable searches and seizures; to the
writtif habeas corpus; to a trial by a jury
of the vicinage;
to have counsel; to lie
confronted by the witnesses ; to give bail—
will all be vindicated. Come, then, fellow
countrymen, rally for the most important
of your civil rally for the existence
of civil liberty, for personal security; rally
for, your manhood and for your posterity.
In effect, apd, in .a word, rally for the Con
stitution as it is and the Union as it was,
and we may again be a prosperous and
happy people. These are the great pur
poses of the Democratic party. Secure — a
triumph for that party on Tuesday next,.
and these purposes may be attained; ant
for a defeat, and they may forever be lost

IN CAMP NEAR HAGERSTON, JT
"Dear Jim : We arrived here yesterday
!after damnation march you ever heard of.
kWe marched over to Md., on last Thursday
week. Ever since we left Gordonsville we
have had a hell of a time; first fighting
with old Pope, then hard marching after
the dam Yankees and living on green
corn and muddy water. Hard fighting,
hard fare and most dam hard march
es; my feet got so dam sore I was forst to
go barefooted. can hardly get. along.--
Our boys is nearly worn out, but still we
are dragged along at the point of the bay
onet by our dam'd officers, who don't
care a dam Tor us, so we do the. 4hting
and they get the honor of the whipping of
the dam I ankees.
s\: : l k am getting almost dead sick of this
w and if I only knew when I entered
in t e service that the war would be so
long, and we would be led in such a dam
eternal dog's life, I would have run away
from the whole dam Southern Confedera
ey, for I begin to think that we have been
humbugged the damdist by onr officers in
the war. What in hell difference does a
make to us Jim, whether welive under 01 . 0
Abe or under Jeff Davis; neither of thefn
care a dam for us, only to do their fightfng
and voting, and then we may go to hell for
what th6y care You must not think that
am turning Yankee, lam as good a South
eru right man as ever, but I begin to think
that we have been fooled by a dam'il
set of office-seeking villians who are too
dam lazy to work, and have lost good fat
pickings by the election of old Lincoln,
and want us poor white niggers to build
their houses for them, while they don't
care a dam iT it fall on us and kill every
dam one of us if they can keep their dam
niggers and grow fat in office, You may
think that I talk darn queer for sergeant
in the Confederate army but I will be
dam'd it I don't think its time to stop this
dam killing of poor white men that the
rich may grow richer. If our captain 6 was
to hear-atne talk so I expect he would have
me reditced to the ranks and put in the
guard house and hocked. or perhaps shot
like poor Maxi,but I tell you Jim, I have
been thinking a good deal lately over this
matter, since 1 have gut in Maryland . l
hare talked to a good many Union men
as they call themselves, and they generally
talk very sensible; they seem to be down
on the nigger as much as any one in the
South, and say they only want to preserve
the Union under our government; and 1
almost begin to think it would be a dam
shame to divide it for the sake of a few of
fice-seekers. I have found a great deal of
hospitality among the people here, and
find they don't differ with us on many
points. They only say preserve tlit. Union,
and let the dam nigger go to hell. They
ask us what we:are lighting for, and whin
we tell them for our rights, they say they
have all they have ever had, and it would
be a darn folly tor theid to join us, and, in
fact, to speak candid, I can't finally see
what rights we have lost to make such a hell
of a ills about. I find thin g s different here
front what I expected. We was told that
Maryland was ripe for revolt, and as soon
as: e entered her borders 40.000 or • - io too
would flock to our standard; but we found
we had been fooled the datnndest, for the
deople all appeared to he very well satis
fied with their condition, and it' I can judge
from the appearance of their country and
the prosperous condition of the people. I
think they have made a dam good hit of it
by staying in the. Union, and it would
have been a dam sight better it we had all
remained contented with our condition and
not made a darn set of fools of ourselves.
I am afraid we are in a trap here, and the
half will never get out.. I think it was
ka.m bad thing coming over here, but we
was forced in a manner, as he was nearly
starved out, and this is a land of milk and
honey; everything in abundance. I tell
you, Jim, we live high to what we u&ed to
do in the Old I )(minion. We now get
salt enough on our meat, which makes it
eat - a darn sight better than we have been
used to. Jim, burn this letter, or it may
fall into the hands of some officers, and it
ours get hold of it I . may catch hell right

dered to report to General Smith in Ken
tucky. Let me know if it is so. I wish
you were with us, as we intend to go in

A Rain for the Confederates Build
ing on the Mersey.
From the Liverpool Post.
It would seem, judging from the con
tracts now in the hands of the shipbuilders
and iron-plate manufacturers of this coun
try, that the Confederate Government is
exhibiting as much energy and resolution
in the creation of an iron-clad fleet as it
has manifested in the series of battles
which have thrown the Army of the Po
tomac, defeated and broken, behind the
shelter of the defences of Washington.
Besides the orders committed to other ship
builders by the Southern Confederacy, and
which are being pushed forward with all
possible dispatch, a large iron-plated ram
is now being constructed on the Mersey
without much attempt at concealment.
We withhold the name of she builder for
prudential reasons; but the fact is without
question, and the rani, from the high char
acter of her builder, will be a most for
midable opponent when equipped for sea;
and should the blockade of the Southern
coast not terminate before her arrival at
Charleston, she will attempt to pass the
Federal cruisers with every chance of im
punity. In addition to this ram, and other
contracts held by our shipbuilders—which,
by the way, are highly flattering to their
reputation, and which hitherto have been
financially discharged in each instance
(when completed) with scrupulous punetu
ality—a vessel, now in the Brunswick Dock,
the name of which we do not wish to give,
for obvious reasons, has a cargo, consisting
principally of iron plates, on board, ready
to fasten on the sides of Southern vessels
waiting their arrival out at Charleston.
The owners of this vessel are imbued with
Southern sentiments; but, whether or
not, we are too neutral in the gigantic
conflict raging across the Atlantic to allude
too pointedly to this transaction.' It seems
very clear, from the present vigorous eon •
duct of the Southern 'Confederacy. that
the South, at no distant period, will pos-
Jsess an iron-clad fleet capable of coping as
;successfully with that of the North as its
'armies have triumphantly met those of the
Federal Government, if but the same
dashing spirits that lead the armies of the
South can be found to command it. Of
one thing, however, we think we can speak
with certainty, and that is, that in the ves
sels built on the Mersey the • South will
have an advantage over the Federals in
strength, of hullo, equipment, and invul
nerability. For the rest, their own cour
age will do, and we may yet hear of the
gallant performance of more than one No.
290 before the announcement of peace
gladdens the heart of all Europe. At all
events, a,. few such rams as.the one now
building on the Mersey would make the
raising of the Southern blockade an easy
task.

Gen.MClellan in Philadelphia
NEW YORE, Oct. 10.—By the arrival of

The rebels, it will be remembered, have
reported that our gunbeats were repulsed

it appears that this was only the rebel way

The expedition arrived in the vicinity of
the batteries on the Ist instant, and a

which an exchange of shots took place, es
tsblishing the fact that rebels were there.
The forces intended to operate on land
were then put ashore, and proceeded to
gain - the rear of the rebel position, when
the enemy ingloriously fled, leaving every
thing behind. A battery of eight heavy
guns loaded and unspiked, quantities of
ammunition, many small arms, and a fair
supply of stores and camp equipage were
captured.
Our gunboats immediately took posses
sion of the river and cut off the retreat of
an entire Georgia regiment and a number
of guerrillas known to be on, the south
side, thus rendering their capture almost
certain.
1.01 \ I ()Ct. 10.—The following
are among the Perrysville casualties on
Wednesday:
Killed—Generals S. Jackson and• Te
rrell : Acting Brigadier Generals Webster
and Lyttle, of Uhio ; Lieut. Col. Jewett,
and Major Campbell of the 15th Kentucky
Cavalry.
Colonel Pope, of the same regiment, was
wounded.
There is no ebnfirmation of the death
of General Sheridan.
General Rousseau is reported slightly
wounded.
Col. Woolford, First Kentucky Cavalry,
after five charges, took two batteries, and
the enemy, after hard fighting,were driven
back eight miles. The foregoing relates to
Wednesday's fight.
Various rumors are circulating concern
ing a fight on Thursday, and said to be fa
vorable to the federals, but they are trace
able to no authentic source, nd at head
quarters. up to eleven o'clo on Friday
morning,they had received no advic es from
the battle field later than We nesday eve
ning.
Our force in that fight. Was about fifteen
thousand infantry, eight ba ries of ar
tillery, and twenty•five hundred cavalry;
but were •reinforced towards the close of
the engagement. The rebel force has not
yet been estimated. , No accounts yet of
the casualties in the armies on either side,
but it is supposed to he large from the
mortality among the field officers.
A large ambulance train is now leaving
l.ouisville to bring the wounded hither.
