We send the paper. , though the money has never come to t hand. We hope, if any one has been c mean enough to steal the same it may do him much benefit. He made a grand mistake, for doubtless he s thought it was addressed to our con- I temporary of the Southwestern. If his conscience pricks him we will ac cept the money and say no more I about it., REBELS IN CONNECTICI1T.-The following placard, according to the New York Express, was posted about the streets of New Haven on Wed'nes day night : "Let the standard of the Confeder ate States be carried beyond the boundaries of the Confederate States of America, that we may demand re cognition and that the traitor Lincoln shall kneel to us, while we dictate to him our terms." Another was as follows : "If we are drafted, we shall be treacherous to the government "Southern independence or death." The other : "The Federal army is again defeat ed !" GOOD ! Long live Stonewall Jackson ' Down with the abolitionists !" DANGER OF INTERVENTION.-The WVatkins (N. Y.) Republican of the 27th ult. says: "Hon. A. S.

The Memphis Union Appeal, com menting upon the advance of our troops into Kentucky, says : The long-contemplated invasion of Kentucky, in force, by the rebels, with the intention of cutting off Gen. Buell's army and carrying the war across the Ohio river, is now being made. The news is absolutely alarm ing. The rebels are in the front and rear of Gen. G. W.'Morgan, command ing the Union troops at Cumberland Gap. He has retreated to Barbours ville, and the rebels are already at London in his rear, and pressing hard in front. This is not rumor and ex aggeration, but the truth of history. General Buell is :.1;o reported to ie in a bad fix. It is certain that rebel marauders have cut off railroad com munications between Louisville and Nashville, the line over which Buell drew such supplies as the country he occupies could not afford. It may be essenti:l to the subsistanco and there fore safety of the army of the Ohio, that that road he immediately posses sed by our troops. and efficiently aaurdu;d throughout.
