Bridges Damaged. We have been informed
that the bridge over Clearfield creek at For
rest's, is in a very unsafe condition most of
one of the abutment having been swept out
by the high, water oa Sunday the Sd. The
corner of the bridge has sunk down a number
of fect.rendering it unsafe for wagons or horses
to cross. This will be qujte an inconvenience,
hut we hope it will soon be repaired. The
lower bridge has also been damaged.
The River, etc. On last Friday night and
all day Saturday it rained almost incessantly,
and on Sunday tho river was very high. On
Monday, the water having fallen some, quite
a number of rafts started for the lower mar
kets, where no doubt, they will arrive in safety,
s me streams are not laning very last. Ulear-
field creek was unusually high, much higher
than daring tho recent great flood. Much
timber and other lumber went adrift on the
creek ; but what the loss will be, has not been
estimated.

THE QUESTION OF CONFISCATION.
The rebel government is inexorably confis
cating all property of Union men, and the con
sequence is, that thousands are deterred trom
taking sides with the Union, in the border
States, for ear of losing their property. This
places the Federal government in a position
of great disadvantage that it can no longer be
suffered with safety. Consequently the gov
ernment is rapidly preparing for enlorcing the
Confiscating law passed by the last Congress.
Attachments have been served against a lot of
furniture belonging to a man named Shields,
who is a captain in the rebel army, and who
owns a number of houses and lots in Wash
ington. This is to be a special case, and if
the law is sustained, the Government will at
once proceed to confiscate the property of
every known rebel as fast as it may come with
in the jurisdiction of our arms. We do not
see, exactly, how this is done under the late
act of Congress, as that limits confiscation to
property used for war purposes, unless it is
construed that all the property of a rebel is
used for that purpose. That law is a lame
affair, and unworthy of Congress, and the
country will require some vigorous amend
ments as soon as that body meets. We are
glad to see that the Government seems dis
posed to meet the wishes of the people in this
matter, and we trust that it will be promptly
seconded by Congress. The present act was
emasculated, after it was brought in, to please
Mr. Crittenden, and other Kentucky members,
and now Kentucky is suffering under the ef
fects of the law. Mr. Forney, in a letter to
the Press, on this subject, remarks
"It is not let me say to the whining sym
pathizers with Secession in Philadelphia and
New York the Republicans who now demand
the confiscation of the property of all who
ask that tho heavy hand of the Government
shall be laid upon their and our enemies.
These enemies, so infuriated against what
they call the "Lincoln army" and the "Abo
lition mercenaries," exhibit little humanity
when they come to treat their brothers, their
kindred in blood and in marriage. They de
stroy the most costly and magnificent public
improvements, fire the dwellings and devas
tate the cultivated fields of their own fellow
Kentuctuans and Tenncssecans, and avow
their determination to exercise the same bar
barism upon them which they have displayed
against the Northern soldiers.
Among the first acts of Congress at its forth
coming session will be the passage of such a
confiscation law as will meet all the require
ments and exigencies of the times. Mean
while, the friends of the rebels in the loya
States can do nothing better than to admonish
Mr. Davis and his Government thit, for every
dollar confiscated by the latter, ten will be ex
acted by the constituted Federal authorities
Of course, expedients of all kinds will be re
sorted to by these men to save themselves
from tho operations of such legislstion. Some
will probably assume the attitude of ultra de
votion to the Union ; others will sell out and
attempt to secrete the proceeds, and it may be
that still others although this class will be
small enough, in view of the gloomy condition
of the whole Southern countrv may be in
duced to emigrate to Richmond, Charleston
or New Orleans, and give practical effect to
their real emotions. But as the Louisville
Democrat well observes, "all Union men rob
bed by this secret den at Richmond can be
paid out of the property of those who are now
making war upon the Union." The whole
system by which His glorious Government is be
ins impaired and broken the system of svies.re
suiting in the murder of some of the best and
bravest of our brothers and friends the system
of persecution of good men on one side, and pro
tection of bad men upon the other the system of
repudiation and of savage warfare must be an
nihilated, even if martial law is proclaimed over
every Joot of our territory."
REBEL BAREARITIES.
The following instances of rebel
are related by the Louisville Journal
outrages
"We have conversed with an intelligent la
dy who was at Lexington, Missouri, when i
was taken by Price, and she gives sickening
details of the barbarities committed by thi
rebels. Among the prisoners taken was Dr
White, who was offered a pass by Price after
the capitulation, with which he went about
two miles beyond Richmond with Major Beck
er and Captain Neat. While at their dinner
a party, headed by the welt known despera
does Charley Martin, Steve Martin, Steve
Emerson, and Ike Lightner, came up and took
the officers off in a coach, hut refused to let
the Doctor, who wis an old man, go with
them, out lie was subsequently taken one
mile from the house into a bv-path and there
shot twice through the breast : he laid from
Thursday till Tuesday, and when the inquest
was held, tho hogs had eaten all the flesh off
the bodv except that which was protected by
his boots. Two weeks after this fiendish mur
der, his wile, with our informant and a lad,
went to Richmond and brought away hi3 re
mains. .Mrs. n lute, who is a niece ot ex-
Governor Desha, of this state, occupied a fine
farm of about five Hundred acres nearly all
in a state of cultivation. The rnlfians entered
upon this, destroyed one hundred acres ot
corn, fifty of oats, valuable peach and apple
orchards, broke the cider machine, smashed
the grand-children's play-things, thrust bayon
ets through the windows, carried oil the car
riage and sixteen horses, killed seventeen
head of cattle, fifty sheep and a hundred
hogs, and ripped up nine feather "beds in
fiendish wantonness, leaving Mrs. White
without a place to sleep on, and compel
ling her to borrow bedding for herself
and family. Theft, murder, and the most
shocking barbarities were practiced by all
the rebels from high to low. Mrs. Colonel
Grover, during the battle, took refuge on a
boat for security, and her husband was wound
ed in the foot. She asked Gen. Price for her
clothes which he refused to surrender, leav
ing her child without a change of raiment for
many days, until ho was about to commence
his retreat. He then gave her an order to ob
tain her garments, but by this time every arti
cle of any value had been stolen or destroyed.
Nor were women the only objects ol brutality ;
the wounded Union soldiers were not exempt.
Some of them had been taken into a vacant
house belonging to Major Blewitt, and, when
he was made aware of the fact, ho raved and
stormed like a maniic, took .an axe, threaten
ed to chop off the head of a lad in the base
ment,and then-hauled wounded men down the
steps into the street, where they were exposed
for many hours in the 6un with festering
wounds."
Rebel Murders. It is stated by the St.
Louis Democrat that since the rebellion broke
out iu Missouri, over three hundred loyalists
have been hung or shot, in other words, mur
dered in cold blood, iu Missouri, for no other
offense than their fidelity to the government!
These are the miscreants Gen. Fremont had to
deal with. ' The whole secession crew of Mis
souri are murderers and thieves, who fear
neither God nor man, and who could only be
stayed in their career of slaughter and robbery
iv tho fear of iust such punishment as Gen.
Fremont threatened to visit upon them in his
proclamation. The certainty of death and
the loss of their slaves had a terror for the
cowardly and mercenary ruffians that nothing
else could inspire. Since the fear of that ret
ribution has been removed, they have pillgaed
and murdered without restraint.
GEN. STONE'S REPORT
The report of Gen. Stone concerning the
battle of Ball's Bluff, sets forth at Jength the
nature of the operation which resulted so dis
astrously. It also enables us to see some ol
the causes which led to the repulse. It does
not, however, make it clear where the respon
sibility belongs in some cases, nor does it fur
nish any reason lor the disregard of certain
orders issued by the General commanding.
It appears that the enemy was supposed to
be in force at no point nearer the Potomac
than Leesburg, but that there was a small de
tachment within about a mile of that place
lne sole purpose of (he movement of our
troops on Sunday night and early on Monday
morning, seems to have been to make a re
connoissance in force to dislodge the rebels
from their position just spoken.of, and to ex
amine carefully the .ground between the river
and Leesburg, with reference , apparently, to
a subsequent advance of the main forco. Col
Devens went forward with some companies of
infautry, with orders to examine the hostile
camp reported to be at the point within a mile
of Leesburg, and a detachment of cavalry was
directed to join him as a scouting party, thus
guarding against surprise, while a battalion of
infantry was ordered to protect bis nans.
Col. Devens made his advance, but neither did
the cavalry join him nor did the infantry take
the designated position on his flank; hence he
was surprised and left unprotected. This was
one of the causes of disaster.
It clearly appears from the report that Col.
Baker was expected to cross the river with his
Brigade, the Tammany Regiment, and detach
ments from two of Massachusetts, even if he
found it expedient to return without attacking
the enemy. Gen. Stone states that he detail
ed to Col. Baker the means of transportation ;
he, therefore, was himself well aware of what
they were. We find that they were three
scows, each capable of carrying 35 men ; to
these Col. Baker afterwards added a flat boat,
which he rafted from the canal into the river,
Gen. Stone states that Col. Baker was to be
the judge of the sufficiency of his means of
transportation, but does not say whether there
was any consultation between them on the
subject.
When Cxl. Baker's force came to cross,what
few boats they had to use appear not to have
been properlv taken care of. This negligance
on the part of some unknown subordinates
not only caused great delay in the passage,
but when our brave troops, reluctlantly retir
ing before an overwhelming force of the enemy,
reached the shore, they found that the three
scows had disappeared ; the remaining "means
Of transportation," one flat-bottomed boat, was
swamped fifteen feet from the shore.
The order in which Col. Baker's force cross
ed the river, is spoken of by Gen. Stone as one
of the causes which led to the repulse. It ap
pears from the report that his artillery were
sent over first, and that the want of 'a support
ing body of infantry was severely felt. Gen.
Stone thinks that this inverted order of cross
ing made a difference of 1,000 men in the line
we presentedjo the enemy, and that it proba
bly prevented the victory lrom beiug ours.
Gen. Stone states that he informed Col. Ba
fcer that he desired to have no advance made
unless the enemy should be found to be jn in
fenor force. Jiut it seems that, having gone
over the river, having been surprised by the
unexpected approach of a large force of the
enemy, and having no means of transportation
at their back, our troops could have done
nothing but fight, even against overwhelming
odds. 1 here was then no room fordiscretion
valor alone was worth anything, and such val
or was shown as makes the blood tingle with
pride in the veins of those who read the story.
Rebels Looking Forward to Reconstruc
tion. At tho Southern Commercial Conven
tion, on the 18th inst., a series of resolutions
was offered and laid on the table, the object of
them being as follows :
1. To place a discriminating duty of twenty
per cent on all foreign goods importedjinto the
Confederate States through or for account of
Northern parties for a period of ten years.
2. To place a direct "income tax" upon all
Northern exchange or bills payable there for a
similar period.
3. Recommending cur banks, and merchants
to make all our cotton produce bills accepted
payable in Europe, at least to the. extent of
our foreign importations.
These resolutions, writes tho Memphis Ap
peal's correspondent, who favors them strong
ly, were knows as the "direct trade resolu
tions," and were postponed in the business
committee and passed over from time to time,
until it tvas too late to debate them. They
were, however, called for by tho convention
in the last hour of its session, and would have
passed but for the argument put forward by
Gen. Duff Green, as chairman of the com
mit tee.
The position taken by Gen. Duff Green was
that these resolutions were so fatal to North-
iern commerce with tho South, so destructive
of all the hope of New York ever again par
ticipating in the importation of our goods, in
our wealth, through tho discount of our cot
ton bills and the control of our exchange, that
to pass them would be to prolong the war.
That the direct trade resolutions, in fact, would
make any adjustment with the North impossi
ble and prevent any construction of the com-
mercial and financial connections between the
North and South, these views, suddenly put
forward, had great weight with the convention.
All debate being cut off by the nature of the
motion with which Gen, Duff Green closed the
argument, the "direct trade resolutions" were
tabled.
So even Duff Green, the South Carolina fire-
eater desires a reconstruction of the Union !
The Palmetto people whom he represents are
not so lull of secessionism after all! very
well; As men grow older they are apt to be
come wiser, and the same is true ot commu
nities.
Secret Traitors. Much excitement pre
vails in Marion county, Ohio, in consequence
of the arrest and examination before a United
States Commissioner, of several persons be
longing to a secret society called "Knights of
the Golden Circlo." This society is compos
ed exclusively of Breckinridge Democrats.
The existence of the order is admitted, and
the man who introduced it into Marion coun
ty, (Mr. Ilodder, the editor of the Democratic
paper) is a protege of Vallandigham and Me-
dary. It was claimed for the defence that the
Order was organized merejy for the purpose
of protecting Democrats from mob violence
during the war.
The prosecution, however, introduced evi
dence tending to show that there was a second
oath taken by members, as follows :
'And I further promise and swear, In the
presence of Almighty God. and the members
of the Goldec Circle, that I will not rest or
6leep until Abraham Lincoln, now President
shall bo removed out of the Presidential chair,'
and I will vade
in blood up to my knees, asf .i
soon as Jcfierson Davis sees proper to march
with his army to take the City of Washington
and the White House, to do tho same. So
help mo God, and keep me steadfast to do the
same."
The Commissioner, upon the testimory, has
held to bail the parties whose examination has
taken place.
Thos. II .Clay,a son of the immortal Henry,
and unlike his renegade brother, is ardently
at work in Kentucky battling for the cause
of the Union. '
The Latest News.
Received by Tuesday Evening's Mail.
It is rumored that the destination of. the
great naval expedition is Charleston that the
troops are to land at Bull Bay, thirty miles

It is stated that Gen. Lane bnrned Osceola,
uauo was passing tnrougn tne town and was
fired on by the Secesfionists, when ho took
the occasion to destroy the town leaving on
ly about six bouses. It was a great secession
rendezvous, from whence Gen. Price was sup
plied with cartridges and other necessaries of
war.
1 he Maryland election will take place to
day. The Union men confidently expect to
elect their State picket, but the struggle will
be bitter. It is said, that many rebels who
bad gone to Virginia are returning to vote
and that Gen. Dix has issued aa order for the
arrest of all such.
It is reported that the rebel Price is at
Neosho with 13.000 men and 5.000 Indians
under McCulIoch ; and that Gen. Lane is South
1 rice. Also, that a large mounted force has
been sent to reinforce Lane, who has had a
skirmish with Price's rear guard.

The government is still purchasing vessels

KESTrcKY Patriotism. Those Northern
States which have proved laggard in" tho work
of furnishing troops for the great war in de
fence of the Union, should hide their heads
in shame when they hear that Kentucky, a
slave-holding State, has already her quota of
the half-million of men required, m the field;
ana m active preparation lor the mighty con
flict which is before them. The subjoined ex
tract is from an article in the Louisville Jour-
nal, which speaks enthusiastically of the cour
age and patriotism of the Iventnckians, and
administers a well-merited rebuke to the lag-
garts of the 'Empire State," who were first
and loudest in proclaiming devotion to the
Union, and aro now behiud all others in furnish
ing troops :
"Kentucky will have her quota of the half
million volunteers called lor by Congress
ready for the field long before many of the
other States. That quota would bo about 25,-
000. She has now six or seven complete reei-
nients in camp and on active duty, while there
are thirty-four incomplete regiments, which,
if not filled within the next fortnight, will be
ccnsolidated,and we expect that at least seven
teen full ones will be the result. This will
bring out the full coniplement of our State,
and we feel every confUence that 10,000 more
men will be ready in a few weeKs. It is cal
culated that over 2500 citizens of Kentucky
havo recruited in regiments formed in Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, while others have gone
into Western Virginia to aid tho Unionists
there. So large a proportion of the commands
of Colonels Woodruff and Gathrie, mustered in
at Cincinnatti, were from our State, that they
were designated as Kentucky regiments. It
will thus be seen that wo will undoubtedly have
nearly 40.000 men in active service before the
winter sets in, and should our troops succeed
in driving back Luckner s advance, and hold
in check the southwestern movements of Polk
and Pillow, thus liberating our strong Union
counties in the centre of the State, that num
ber will be largely increased."
Serious Accident. The Pottsvillo Miners'
Record says that an explosion of fire damp
occured last week at the Otto lied Ash colli
ery, in that county. A car was approaching
the face of the gangway, and when about 160
yards from the bottom of the slope, the sulphur
caught tire from tbo lamp of the driver, and
exploded with terrible force. Mr. Glover,
manager of the works, the driver of the car,
and six mules, were instantly killed, and one
hundred and fifty yards of the gangway were
completely demolished.
Queer provisions they make for winter in
