LOUISVILLE, Sept. 7, 1861. EDITOR CHRONICLE-A copy of your valued paper of of 31st ult. came to hand this P. 3M. I read accounts here and there and saw what I little expected to see in a Northern paper -"want of men" to prosecute this war. Little did I suppose,, or the Kentuckians about me, that a people like yours would, at this perilous hour hesitate for ocet mnoment to lend the aid which is so much needed at this hour of peril. If they value their homes their every interest dear to them, I would tell thim that they nust expect to fight. Oh! that they would heed the warning voice of the patriot Joseph Holt, of this State, who told the citizens of Boston that if they did not rise up as one man mnd meet the foe, that they would De conquered by the Southrous. Why, Oh why ! their tardiness ? [ warn vy u that unless a more ear nest policy prevail with you, the inrth will he subjugated thlese re 3els will conquer you; you must ral y ! you must fight ! you must not ie in dull apathy; you must gird on he armor and go at once intoi the ield. I, a soldlier in camp Joe Ilolt, LKentuckian, will he with y(.u to ight the battles of our country, and callon oyou loyal men of the Northi o rally. If you do not conme as men Lud meet the fte at once they will ;ain the ascendency. The rebels ire growing stronger and increasing heir boldness every and I tell ,-ou the sooner we arrest their mad areer the sooner will ipeace be re( tired to our country.

Iaiivl tallv! Louisvil (`'r _r. The Evacuation of Ship hsIand. 'The follolving sensilde 'remanrks re ;ardiigi the evacittion of Ship Island, lar in the Mobile News: W aret heartily gtlad that this eva ntationt has taken place, for we have egarld d the fortificnttiins throwi n lup ht ,hip land as a very satfe trap it wti hieh Lincoln's fl*1t and sdldiers mIld, whien,-ver they willed it, 1g iaid coiiniuiat. fd that pass nip t uniidetutid.'d, we' conhul have seen h.' klen elit to i' deIerived frimn risking i'iiop- tild mnilitaryv stiles' in the Is ixid. As it is, it was incurring af a'izttrdl withoult conlipenisattiuilt . It as atipe'ared tm Its; as; a military Ipos .lat.', that tlhe calunnlanfl of the sea round Ship Island by the Federals laced the garrison there at their ircv---thtev having thie chive of lan ding and driving them out by, su perior force, or of starving them out. The only relief to the garrison, in either case, would have to conic by water-that is, a naval relief. If we had guns enoglh afloat in the South to protect the garrison at Ship Juland against the Federal navy, then it could he held; but in that case there would be not half the necessity of holding it. Thetruth is,weimagine, that the waters of lakes and Sound can only be adequately protected by floating armaments, and these ought to be built at whatever cost, in num bers and strength adequate to the work to be done. Untill that is done, we do not desire to see our brave soldiers exposed to capture on the outside and undefended islands of the coast.. All Should LeCarn to Sing.-Jona than Edwardh says: -As it is com manded of God that all should sing, so all should make conscience oflearn ing to sing, is it is a thing that can not be done decently without learn ing. Those, therefore, who neglected to learn to sing live in sin, as they neglect that is necessary to their at tending one of the ordinances of God." f! 'The German citizens of Mem phis are giving theatrical represen tations for the benefit of needy fami lies in that city. a- The Potomace is spanned by two bridges--one called the Chain Bridge, about six miles above Wash iigton, and the other called the Long Bridge, crossing the stream imniaedi ately into the upper part of the town on the road to Alexandria. The ScN Fderale SNaral Expedi tion.-'The New Yerk papers, of the 13th inst, Inhave the following: A naval expedition will sail from New York within the comining two weeks which will no (toulht have a most important bearing .upon the itrtseit war. It will comprise a large flett ot giuboats and transports, and :- ct'e of probably 20.000 men in iii-ii 0g soni which will beo taken from Fortress Monroe. T'he destina :ion is, of coiurse, a secret, all state mflnts to time onmtrary notwithstand ig.; bult we can -assure our readers hatn if successful, of which there is Lit little doubt, it will he the nmost t:,rrible and effective blow yet dealt at the rebels. Lat/c.t from Gen.. Le.-The Rich iand papers of the 19th, have relia dle" ilntelligtence from Gen. Lee's conm muarnd which indicate the prosecution of a brilliant campaign in that quar ter on tlhei part of our forces. The I islatcli says : Th1 in ws is that .;eneral Lee, having cut tout a new road for a part of the distance, had marched nine thimeusand men to the left of Stiper's, whlichl is at the ies tern bnset of Cheat Mountail.n and ilnt' tihe Staunton and Parkersul rg turnpike road, between Stiper's anId HIIuttonsville, nuid then iinwtmi' ti the latter jiiaee, if which lie took po)55i'$iOnl. lie succeeded ini cutting off, liv this imovemuenmt, the lFederal forces, under Cren. Reynolds, from the co-operation of his assistant coi:r iimmnld, stationed oil Cheat Moun tain. A skirmiish had occurred between portions (if the Federal and Confede rates comumanids, and General Rey nolds himself had been captured.

The enemy was defended by an al most impenetrable stockade fort. Theenemy at Cheat Mountain had been reinforced by three Ohio regi ments. Richmond, Sept 23-It is reported that both the IT. S. Senators front Maryland have been arrested and imprisoned. The statement about the shooting of 400 troops near Washington, by order of McClelland for refusing to advance on the Confederates, is be lieved in high circles here, and from the source the information has been obtained. t Nothing of inteiest has been r:. ceived from the camps.

New Orloans, Sept. 24.-Three ,, ficers from the Frrnch corvetts Lavoi sier, arrived in the city this evening, bringing a mail bag. An immense crowd congregated on the landing to greet thei - arrival. The vessel re m:ains anchored below. It is un!ierstood that the feder::! prisonteris from Richmond will arriv, to nmnorr)w, and be escorted to ti:h parish prison by a colored company. Two men suspected of having cut the telegraph wires between Pass Christian and the Bay of St. Louis. have been arrested. Also a man wh. was detected in.carrying newspapers off to the enemy's fleet. (:ov. Moore has decided against th.: proclamation of Martial Law. As tha Cotton crop is always a subject ofinterest to the community both at home and at a distance, w. have the following report to make : In August, the frequent rains ano cloudy weather caused the botto ii crop to rot hadly, the weed bein very rank and interlocked in all fre!: ground, and the sun not being al', to pierce the shade of the rank veg. - tation. This was universally thle case in all, except very old lanu where the stock grew to a less heigh: Besides the rot thus occasioned, tI, boll worm on very many places di: considerable ndamage. These two causes have diminished the crop cer tainly one-sixth. In Septembr, th; present month, the caterpillar made :a tive by tho* continued murky dan weather, frll on the plant and have eaten every leaf of' of it, and' ni.: now go onl the young top bolls, anC this will occasion, us certainly, tie loss of another sixth, so that, fro:. the combined causes alledged, w. c.vn very justly and accurately i)ut the loss as one of two-sixths or oon. third, l,*ving two-thirds as the vr1' largest measure of the crop to lie r lied on. .Some planters put it. at a half : crop.
