THE NEWS,
The seat of wax in Virginia gives us in- j
telligence of continued activity on the
part of rebel guerilla chleis against the i
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which our
dispatches say has been attacked in two
places, Stewart has penetrated into Mary
land again at Frederick, and has probably
ere this destroyed the’ Houocacy Bridge.
Accounts from Wheeling report a rebel
force at Hartinsburgh. All is quiet on the
Rappahannock.
We give a variety of interesting news
from Lcmiriana. tbe admirable farewell
order of Gen. BuUer, and the President’s
order installing tbe new Provisional
Judge.
The details 01, the overhauling of the
steamer Ariel by the pirate Alabama will be
read with interest. The falsehood of the
rascal Semites, to the effect that he openly
went out under the guns of the San Jacinto,
is nailed by the account translated from the
Martinique paper. But then Semmes al
ways was a knave and a liar, even while
wearing a Federal uniform.
The news from Kentucky and Tennes
see is better. Morgan has done much, but
the gallantry of our forces has set limits to
his operations. Gen. Granger's business
into East Tennessee has transpired and de
tails from his columns will be eagerly
awaited.
The rumor comes from several sources
that Rosecrans is fighting a battle at Mur
freesboro. It will be no light affair when
well opened.
The Threatened Falmiahtion.
If tbe President eh&U issue the threatened eman
cipation proclamation on the Ist of January, he
will thereby radically divide the North as to the
war. for, if he does not know now.be will know
within a week after the fatal fuiminatioru that the
Democratic party will not support the war waged
for the purpose of that missive.
But he does not know this now. He not only
knows that the Democratic party wlh not support
such -a war. but that the people of the border
States with almost entire unanimity, will stand
sioof from it.
In issuing the proclamation he will, therefore,
proceed deliberately and maliciously to divide the
North. He will have forfeited all his pledges made
nt the beginning of the war; he win have convert
ed the grand contest for the salvation of the Union
into as unc-onßiitutional crusade for the abolition
of slavery, employingtherein the weapon of servile
insurrection; he will hare treated with contempt
and derision the great Northern conservative pub.
lie sentiment: he will have given himself up to
the embrace of Garrison and Phillips and Greeley
and all the vilest disanionists of the land ; and he
will, if theproclamation shall be persisted in, have
made restoration of the Union impossible.
The proclamation mast not be persisted in. The
President must be compelled to withdraw it. And
when he shall be compelled to withdraw it, he
must be compelled to put the conduct of the war
into the hands of men who can and will carry it to
a hucccstfcl issue.
The Democratic pany have the power—the legal.
cons;iu:t:o:.ai power—to compel him to withdraw
it. and that power must be exercised.— Chicago

The above article ■we reprint from the ]
r-ped&l organ of Jeff. Davis in this city. ,
the secesh Tima. We -give it a place in our
columns much on the principle that the far- 1
mer nails a dead hawk to his barn-doors. ;
Many of our readers do not see the Tima, I
and few of them would believe all that we I
might say truthfully of its traitorous ten- I
dencics, without calling its own columns
to testify against it. The above is a speci
men brick of the whole structure. The ar
ticle is entirely of the dead-hawk order. Be
fore it can reach Washington it will meet
the President’s proclamation. So it conld
not have been written to influence the
President to stay his hand. The article is
curious, if we compare it with the earlier
positions taken in the same columns, con
cerning this very measure of the Presi
dent. Very merry were these knaves once,
or affected to be so. over the “Pope’s bull
against the comet.” The joke was delici
ous. The idea that it would reach the
slaves and interfere in the relations of Sam
bo and his master, ridiculous. They rang
every posable facetious change on the sub
ject. and purely out of tenderness for him
would implore Mr. Lincoln not to do this,
and be laughed at.
Well a few weeks have rolled round and
the threatened day has come. To-morrow,
the President, by virtue of his War Power,
will Proclaim Liberty through out the rebel
States. The traitors in 'Richmond and in
Chicago know that the blow will fall, and
they are aware that every black in the
South awaits it Witness the recently
changed tone. No levity now, no quips
and witticisms' but only such impreca
tions and curses as might come up from a
pirate deck, swinging just before the
threatened broadside that will inevitably
sink the shattered bulk Bitterness has
succeeded a lightness that was unreal, and
threats the place of pleasantries that were
feigned. But how about these threats?
The power to compel the President to
withdraw the Proclamation is good, or
would be if not too serious for pleasantry.
We ask the secesh Time* who will “ bell the
cat r* Who does it represent when it trai
torously bellows in phrases like the above?
The Proclamation will destroy slavery
and incite insurrection, will it? Once
these fellows derided such a possibility.
It will destroy an institution which they
have ever claimed too securely
founded on the affection of the blacks to
be- disturbed. And rather than that slavery
perish, the Union must fail. This is the
language now boldly put forth-' The Tima
may as wdl know that wherever treason Is
successful it will not be in Chicago, and
in the Northwest It may be safe to argue
time in Richmond, but let these frothing*
of disloyalty take shape of acts, and the
Government has a power to bo harm home
traitors, that it will need only a few mem
orable examples to send the rest of the ver
min in haste to their holes.

take leave of yon by this final order, it being
impossible to visit your scattered outposts,
covering hundreds of miles of the frontier of
a larger territory than some of the kingdoms
of Europe.
I greet you, my brave comrades, and say
farewell!
This word —endeared as you are by a com
munity of privations, hardships, dangers, vic
tories, sncccesses, military and civil—is the
only sorrowful thought I have.
■fon have deserved well of your country.
Without a murmur you sustained an encamp
ment on a sandbar so desolate that banish
ment to it with every care and comfort possi
ble has been the most dreaded ’punisnnient
inflicted upon your bitterest and most Insult
ing enemies.
Tun had eo little transportation that but a
handful could advance to compel submission
by the Queen City of the rebellion, whilst
others waded breast-deep in the marshes which
surronndSt. Phillip, and forced the surrender
of a fort deemed impregnable to land attack
by the most skillful engineers of your country
and her enemy.
At your occupation, order, tew, quiet and
peace, sprang to this city, filled with the
braves of all nations, where for & score of
vears. during the profoundest peace, human
life was scarcely safe at noonday.
By your discipline yon illustrated the best
traits of the American soldier, and enchained
the admiration of those who came to scoff.
Landing with a military chest containing
but berenty-five dollars, from the hoards of a
rebel government you have given to your
country’s treasury nearly a half millllon of
dollars, and so supplied yourselves with the
needs of your service that your expedition has
cost your government less by four-fifth* than,
any other.
Ton have fed the starring poor, the wives
and children of your enemies, so converting

greater than your entire numbers from dis

tauntingly told that there was “no one to

preserved your rants ftiller than those of any
other battalions of the same length of service.
You have met double numbers of the enemy

IKE PIRATE ALABAMA.
Capture of the Steamer Ariel
Statement of Mr. J. P. Wheeler,
Purser of the Ariel
[FromtheK.Y. Tribune, 29th.]
The Ariel was captured on her oat ward pas
sage by the rebel steamer Alabama, underthe
flowing circumstances: On the 7th inst.,
at Ip. m., when roanding Cape Maysl, the
eastetn point of Cuba, we saw a vessel about
four miles to the westward, close under the
high land of Cuba, bark-rigged and under can
vas. As there was nothing in her appearance
indicating her to be a steamer, her smoke
pipe being down, no suspicions were aroused,
till in & short time we saw she had furled her
sails, raised her -moke-stack, and was rapidly
nearing us under steam, the American flag
dying at her peak. Such was her speed, in
comparison to ours, that In half an hour she
had come up within half a mile of ns, when
she fired a lee gun, hauled down the American
ensign and ran up the rebel flag. No atten
tion was paid to the summons, and the Ariel
was pushed to her utmost speed.
She then sailed across oar wake, took a po
sition on our port quarter, about 400 yards
distant, and fired two guns almost simultane
ously, one shot passing over the hurricane
deck, between the walking-beam and smoke
ctack, and the other hitting the foremast and
cutting it half away.
A body of United States marines, consisting
of 12' men, passenger* on board the Ariel,
had been drawn up and armed; hut the offi
cer* in command deemed it worse titan folly
to resist, as we could plainly see they were
training a foil broadside to bear upon us, and
Capt. Jones gave orders to stop the ship and
haul down the ensign.
A boat then put off to us, and the boarding
officer, on coming aboard, at once assured the
passengers that none should be molested, and
that all baggage and property should be re
spected. Tie then demanded the keys to the
specie-locker, together with the ship’s papers
and letters, and informed the Captain he must
be in readiness to go on hoard the Alabama
with Aim. where he was detained as a hostage
until the next day.
The money in the ship, amounting to
$5,500, was taken off, and the prise crew,
twenty in number, all well armed, put on
board. The engine-room was taken in charge
by two engineers from the Alabama. The
officers and'marines on board the Ariel were
paroled, and their arms taken, as well as some
belonging to the ship.
Both vessels lay off the Cape during the
night and-part of the next day. On the after
noon of the Bth our sails were thrown over
board, and the steam-valves taken away-, in
order to prevent our escape should they give
chase to any other vessel, as they were ex
pecting to capture the Champion also, and
nad been lying in wait for several days at this
point for that purpose. The same night our
valve was returned, and the intention of land
ing ns at St Domingo changed*© Kingston,
vessels were then beaded for that
place, and on the 9th Inst, at 9 p-.m.. we ar-
Hved off Point Morant, about forty miles
from Kingston. Near this point the Alabama
gave chase and boarded a vessel, from which
some information waa received, which induced
Cant Semmea to again change his mind, and
take heavy bonds ibr the ship and cargo, per
mitting ns to resume our voyage. The rea
son. given was tbat thi* veeeei Sad reported
yellow fever ragingin K6Bgstoa,*ndhe would
not subject our passengers to its ravages; bin
we were afterwards informed at' Morant that
no yellow fever bad prevailed there for some
time. .
The conduct ot officers *"3 crew of the
Alabama in charge of thlaahip was extremely
courteous. Thewere In regular communlca
tion with the United SUfaavbolh. by letters.
and papers, and were fatly cognisant of our
days of sailing, and ibat no eroisers wcre-l#
these waters to intemrpt jhmn. Tor this rea
son, the specie to come by the Ariel was left
at Aspinwall, as Capt, Jones did wot think it
prudent to bring it

"We, the undersigned, heartily concur in the
foregoing letter.from the passengers of the
steamer Ariel to the Commander, A. G.
Jones, respecting the surrender. On round
ing Cape Mays! the rebel steamer Alabama
came suddenly upon ns from behind the high
land. where she had been awaiting us a day or
more. We were at once within range of her
guns. The Ariel was very much crowded,
having many passengers, and nearly one-half
of them women and children. The enemy
first fired a blank charge, which Capt. Jones
disregarded, and endeavored to escape ; huf
she rapidly overhauled ns, and firedtwosheU,'
one of which struck our foremast a few feet
above the hurricane deck, and nearly carried
it away. The vessels were then less than 500
yards apart. Resistance would have been
worse thas folly, as the preceding letter states.
Hence we promptly advised her surrender.

STATEMENT OF CAPT. JONES OF THE ABDEL.
On reaching the deck of the Alabama, and
being met by Capt. Semmes, Capt. Jones was
informed that his pt gangers would be landed
on the east end of Cuba, at a small settle
ment at that point, and the ship destroyed.
Against this Capt. Jones pleaded Tory hard,
and spoke in behalf of the woinen and chil
dren he had as passengers. To this Semmes
replied,: “Why should I spare your ship?
She is owned by a man who has given his
finest Teasel to your government to cruise
after me.” .
Semmes kept Capt. Jones on board the
Alabama for fifty-nine hours, before deciding
to bond her.
Among the passengers on board of the
Ariel were Capt. Sartori of the United States
Naw, Major Garland of the United States
Marine Corps, and others, together with 150
United State* marines on their way to the
Pacific, all of whom were paroled by Semmes,
and allowed to proceed—he first taking all
their arms, and the cannon and muskets be
longing to the Ariel. While Capt. Jones was
detained on board the Alabama a bark hove
in sight, to which the Alabama gave chase
and soon overhauled. She proved to be a
foreigner, and of course was not molested.
Capt. Semmes said had she'proved to be an
American, he would have transferred the pas
sengers and crew of the Ariel to her and then
destroyed the steamer.
Capt. Jones says that the Alabama deserves
all her previous reputation for speed. She
can steam fourteen knots with seventeen
pounds of steam. She has two engines of
52-inch cylinder and 17-inch stroke, and is in
all respects, a perfect model of beauty. Her
armament is, he says, a 100-pounder rme, and
one 68-pounderpivot gun, besides six medium
SS-ponnders. He can fight seven gona a side,
having arrangements for transferring two of
the broadside guns from side to side with
great rapidity. "Capt. Jones farther says that
the Alabama has a fine crew, and that they are
well disciplined, that the ship Is in fine order,
and that the deck is arranged for two addi
tional pivot gnus, which he was informed
were 100-pounder rifles, and in the Alabama’s
hold, reaay to be mounted should they be re
quired. Cant. Jones says that the rebel cap
tain treated' him remarkably well. He was
not confined, had the privilege of the deck,
and messed In the wardroom.
Capt. Jones says the only ship that Semmes
fears is the Vanderbilt. He made many in
quiries regarding her speed and armament,
but obtained no information whatever. He
laughs at all the other ships we have, and re
marked that “he cared nothing for the Ban
Jacinto; that he went to sea by her when in
Martinique, and paid no attention to her.
What he cannot whip he can run away from.”
It is the opinion of Capt. Jones that Semmes
has gone to Asplnwall, or off that harbor, to
intercept the California steamers both ways.
He held on to the Ariel long enough to de
termine that the steamer bound the other
way with treasure had passed him before she
was allowed to proceed.
Capt. Semmes, in his conversation with
Capt. Jones, talked a good deal about the Pa
cific Ocean, and knew all about our ships-of
war there. The thing that seemed to trouble
him most was the impossibility of his burning
Vanderbilt’s ship, which he could not do on
account of the passengers. The fact is, he
had won an elephant in a raffle. He could not
drop them down in any desert place, and he
knew be could not land them in Kingston, or
in the port of any powerful nation.
Capt. Semmes told Capt. Jones that he
coaled last at Martinique—that when he left
port the San Jacinto trained a gun npon him,
when the fort immediately trained her guns
upon the San Jacinto, and she desisted from
the attack.
EO’W THE ALABAMA GOT OUT OP POST BE
PRANCE, MARTINIQUE. (
[Translated tor the New York Herald from the ,
s Dlario de Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 10.]
The French steamer Tampico, from :
Fort de France, Martinique, sailed just three <
days after the Alabama—the famous champion
of the South-had left the habor, humbugging
the Ban Jacinto, which Is cruising afterner.
The incidents of this deception are curious
enough, and we have them from one of the :J
passenger? for this port, in whom we place
implicit reliance. The French authorities had
to keep the excessive zeal of the Yankee
sailors within bounds, as they thought them
selves sure of this prize, which has given them
eo much trouble and annoyance.
The commanders of both steamers went on
shore at Martinique, and in one of their fre
quent meetings the captain of the Alabama
said to the commander of the San Jacinto:
44 1 have no more than 160 men and twelve
guns. Ton have 500 of the former and thirty
of the latter. If you will promise not to use
your gnus, I will attack you by boarding and
;ake and destroy your vessel. ”
The Captain of the Ban Jacinto did not wish
to accept this challenge, observing that any
way he had the Alabama secure. The Captain
of the Alabama, without taking any notice of
this bravado, appeared to be occupied in the
construction or a kind of raft out of large
bundles of dried grass and tar, in view of the
Federal sailors. His first idea, no doubt, was
to provoke an attack; but as the last nightsof
hi* stay were very dark, the Captain of the
Alabama, whose vessel is a screw steamer and
goes sixteen miles an hour, erected some false
topmasts of bamboo canes and eocoanut tops,
hoisted his4lghts to make the deception more
complete, and under a full head of steam
passed out of port by the side of the Ban Ja
cinto.
; The illusion of the Federal Captain, who
took her for one of the French transports that
are every.moment entering and leaving the
[ the port, was so great that he was for four
' dans afterwards cruising outride of the harbor
ami amusing himself with the expectation of
hispriae in perspective. he came to
! know for a certainty that Be had been hum*
t bugged, he beard aUo that the Alabama bad
burned an American schooner which bad
[ sailed from St. Pierre.

Passengers from Frederick report Stewart’s
rebel cavalry, numbering 1,200, commenced
crossing the Potomac into Maryland early
this morning, about ten miles this side of
Point of Kooks.
It Is presumed their purpose is to destroy
Uonocacy bridge again, and attempt to plun

There are hopes of capturing them by onr

Washington, Dec. 30, 1962.
At Dumfries the 3d Pennsylvania cavalry
lost fifty men ahji three officers. Tbe enemy’s
loss in tbe various engagements is computed
at over 100.
Deserter^state that Lee, Hampton and Stu
art were, with 7,000 cavalry and six guns, at
Guines’s Station a few days ago. They divi
ded into twd bodies. The whereabouts of
Stuart with 2,000 are known, but where are
the rest?
Dispatches received at headquarters to
night, say that a cavalry force is crossing at
Harrison’s Island into Maryland.-
Gen. Kimball has gone home on a furlough.
All the sick nitd slightly wounded are being
. sent away from Burnside’s army. Three
hundred and fifty of them arrived here to
night.
Washington; Dec. 30.—Intelligence from
Alexandria represents that Stuart’s cavalry
force with artillery were yesterday encamped
twelve miles from that city, not far from Berks
Station, on tbe line of the Orangeand Alexan
dria Railroad. Two rebel cavalrymen wearing
uniforms similar to our own came into and
rode about Alexandria on Sunday. They did
not remain long.
A telegram from the headquarters of the
army of the Potomac says all is quiet on the
Rappahannock.
Pwtt.a-iyut.pttta, Dec. SO.—The Press has in
teresting news from the Peninsula, under date
of Portress Monroe, Monday. Gen. Naglee
bad received information from contrabands,
which was considered reliable, that a body of
7,000 rebels, under Gen. Trimble, who bad
been detached from the army at Fredericks
burg to assist Gov. Wise, was approaching
Gloucester Courthouse with a view, as . was
supposed, of attacking the batteries at Glou
cester Point. Our troops were under arms
waiting for the attack, and Gen. Naglee had
prepared-to attack the enemy in force to-day
(Monday.) We two gunboats in the river
to assist in the defense.
New Tons, Dec. 30.— The New Fork Trib
une's Washington dispatch, referring to the
rebel cavalry raid s«rth of the Rappahannock : .
Bays: “As to the raid itself, the closing and
keeping tight-shut a line 150 miles long in
such a country as Virginia, is ah impossibil
ity, save with the use of cavalry in quanti
ties that ourpresent cavalry system does not
admit of. ,
gigel’s men at Dumfries, only 1,200 in num
ber, with two pieces of artillery, whipped
Stuart's three brigades.
Tbe rebels carry back nothing to brag oi,
save swift heels.
Tbe order of November 2itb, dismissing
Capt. Emerson F. Giles of the 7th Wis. vol
unteers is revoked, he having been tried and
acquitted by a court martial.
The Herald says, in relation to the raid
north of the Rappahannock, that various ef
forts have been made to cut them off, and it
is believed that a force which has been sent
out from Fairfax Courthouse, under Colonci
Wyndham, will be successful, although Wynd
hain’s horses are much fatigued from a pre
vious effort to overhaul the raiders. But they
are certainly in better condition than the
rebels, who have been making this forced
nlght-and-day march for two whole days and
nights.
It Is not likely that the army of the Poto
mac will long remain idle.
Rumors have been current to-day that an
attack had been made by Stonewall Jackson
upon Sigel’s corps, in the vicinity of Stafford
Courthouse, and that after the repulse of
Jackson, he had drawn a portion of SigeVa
force into an ambuscade and captured a large
number of prisoners. There is reason to be
lieve that this report is a pure fabrication, as
no information of such an engagement has
been received here in any official quarter.

£ Washington letter states that rumors of
foreign intervention arc quite common at the
present time, hut cannot he traced to an au
thentic source. It is, however, churned by
many Intelligent persons that Mr. Seward
confidently expects the intervention of the
French government in our aflairs, mid that he
has shaped his foreign diplomacy with this
government of late, wholly with reference to
such danger*; hence he concedes an acquies
cence of trade between Kew York and the
French in Mexico, audln Corwin's singular
conduct in Mexico. The exact frets or the
case are not likely to appear at present, unless
they come to ns as the first proposal of medi
ation came through the English papers.

It is stated to-day in financial circles that
the Secretary of the Treasury has consented

dium from $377,000,000, the amount estimated
on the Ist of November by Secretary Chase,

Nothing from Memphis to-day. We learn,
however, that Grant is still at Holly Springs.
The evacuation of the Tennessee shore, op
posite Island No. 10, and also the evacuation
of New Madrid, seem to have been executed
under the belief that our forces there were
not sufficient to hold out against the rebel
forces that threatened them. A movement
has been made, however, to re-occupy New
Madrid. The SSth lowa left for that place
to-day. From appearances, the tide of
events must soon turn against the rebels in
this quarter. At Columbus a considerable
force has already concentrated, and it cannot,
be that inaction will much longer
Another regiment goes to that place to-mor

IhsUlSapolzs, Dec. 30, 188*.
About 500 men belonging to the 71st Indiana
regiment, under the command of Lient. Col.
Matteson, were attacked and .captured by
Morgan’s forces at Muldraugh’g Hill on San
day afternoon last, while guarding the trestle
work on the railroad at that point. CoL Mat
teson threw np some earthworks and refused
four separate demands for an unconditional
surrender, when they were finally surrounded
by Morgan’s entire force, amounting to be
tween 3,500 and 4,500, with eight pieces of
artillery, placed in positions where they com.
manded his entire works.
Our forces surrendered conditionally, and
were immediately paroled and started toward
Louisville, which point they reached last
night. They are expected here to-night.
Morgan destroyed the trestle work and the
bridges over the Bacon and Nolan Creeks.
The 63d Indiana has not been captured, as
was reported.
Private advices from Nashville state that
Kosecrans had advanced on Murfreesboro,
driven in their pickets, and was expecting an
engagement on Sunday.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Crugets an, Dec. 80,1883.
I informed you on the 18th that a portion of
Granger’s army was to leave on the 20th, theft
-destination being contraband, but that im
portant results were looked for. That expe
dition consisted of three columns, composing
a large force.' -They started over the moun
tains through Cumberland Gap, to make a
raid .ip tt Knoxville, and destroy important
bridges and trestles.
A private note from a correspondent of the
Gazette, with that expedition, states they
were at London on the 25th, and have prob
ably reached Knoxville before this. The an
nouncement via Louisville that this expedi
tion had accomplished its work is do- jtleas
premature, as sufficient time has not elapsed
for the news to be received.
There is no doubt that Morgan’s raid is
more serious th*™ was at first supposed. The
destruction of the Nashville road is consider
able and will take weeks to repair it.
The Quartermaster of the 71st Indiana who
escaped from Mnldrough’s Hill reports the
large trestle-work at the tunnell all destroyed.
. The impression here is that Morgan has suc
cessfully accomplished his entire object in
coming into Kentucky, and will now retire.
The Cumberland has risen sufficiently for
Kosecrans to obtain supplies by river.
Louisville, Dec. 80, 1833—11:05 p. m. —
Col. Harlan attacked Morgan at Bolling Fork
yesterday morning. The engagement,lasted
"SnlftiurajWl fc-balfT Herlstt fitted a number
of the rebels, losing two killed and three
wounded, among the latter Lieut Pollls, of
Soutbwick’s battery, since dead. The rebels
retreated towards Bardstown, having lost
several killed and wounded? and a Captain
and six privates captured.
Morgan spent last night at Bardstown and
moved eastward on the Springfield turnpike
this morning.
Scouts report that the rebel Col. Baril Duke
was seriously wounded at EoUlngFork.
A messenger has reported rnrian that
our forces bad an engagement ac New Haven
this morning, mid repulsed the rebels there.
Shcpherdsvule and Bolling Fork bridges are
safe. The trestle work on Mnldrough's Hill
is so seriously damaged, that it will require a
month -for its restoration. Two small
bridges, easily restored, were burned by the
rebels near Lebanon Junction. The above
comprise all the damage done by the rebels to
bridges on the Louisville and Nashville rail
road and Its tributaries. Lieut. John Speed,
of Gen. Gilbert’s staff, was taken prisoner by
the rebels near the trestle work, and robbed
of his clothing, watch and purse.
Bosecrans captured several cannon on his
approach to Murfreesboro, and reports from
below indicate that an engagement is now
progressing there.
[From Our Own Reporter.]
Lonsmii, Dec. 39,1889.
The advent of Morgan info Kentucky has
been attended with the usual consequences.
.It finds those who have the railroad to guard
unprepared to meet him. Generals Boyle and
Gilbert have never yet been in condition to
repulse him from the road, and are not now*
Morgan is at liberty to do as he pleases.
Morgan entered Kentucky on the night of
Tuesday last, the 83d inst. He crossed the
Cumberland Eiver on the same day, and
moved North daring the night. It was known
at Nashville that he had crossed the river, for
the same night, Gen. D. 8. Stanley, chief of
Bosecrans’ cavalry, also crossed the Cumber
land in pursuit. Moreau is said to have had
quite a large force, but nothing like 11.000
men, as the journals of this city assert. His
own brigade is but five regiments and two
pieces oxArtillery. I notice in the Cincinnati
GazOte of to-day-what purports to be the or
ganization of his brigade. It is as follows:
Kentucky cavalry regiment. Got Basel W. Duke.
regiment, Major A. C. P.
Kentucky cavalry regiment, CoL D. W. Chen
anlt, .
Texas cavalry regiment, 001. B. M. ©ana.
Texas cavalry regiment. Col. Cloke.
Morgan appears to have made a good march,
for on toe 24th he entered Glasgow, Ky. Here
he encountered four conqMiles of the 2d
Michigan cavalry, under coiSHBd of Captain
Dickey. The rebels were dressed in Federal
uniforms, and toe Michigan men did not fire
upon them until the rebels opened the en
gagement. The Michigan cavalry, contrary
to me usual story, made a good fight, and did
not retire from the town until the rebels were
atrongiy reinforced. Capt. Dickey then with
drew with them to Munfordsville, apprising
that post of the danger to it,
Edward Hobson. Commandant, on his guard.
. Oh toe same day Morgan appeared at Glasgow
Junction, destroying a part of the road and
burning the * station-house. There was no
United States property there, and but a single
car. The “up and down” trains met.at Glas
gow about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and.
passed either way without opposition. Morgan'
camped the same night at Bear Wallow, a
small town In Hart county, south of Mun
fordsville and east of toe railroad. Here he
was attacked by toe cavalry regiments of Cola.
Gray and Shanks. This attack was merely a
dash, and resulted in the capture of sixteen
rebels and the fcnitag of one. -
Morgan’s movement* and whereabouts on
yesterday remain a mystery up to this time
(6 o'clock I presume Gen. Boyle has in
formation from Munfordsville, but he keeps
it to him self. There is little doubt that Mor
gan nude an attack on Munfordsville yester
day, but the result is not known. It is not
known either what force was at Munfordsville.
Trains with ammunition foiled to reach the
town. Reinforcements were moving In that
direction yesterday by rad, but I am not posi
tive whether or not they got through.
1 have no doubt that Morgan has made the
attempt to cut toe road as Munfordsville,
where success would repay him for the heavy
loss* he would doubtless .sustain in making
the assault. Ha would be enabled in a few
moments to destroy toe railroad, bridge at
Green River, asd toss render toe road useless
to Gen. Bosecrans for a month to come. I
cannot coneaive what Gen. Bosecrans would
dofor food »that case. It would require in
all probs&Bty toe retreat of a’ large part of
army to Kentucky. . .. ...
We shall in all probability have news to
morrow from Mnnfordsville. I will telegraph
you in time for Monday’s Issue. Sfbciai.

The following is of an entirely different charac
ter-one of those touching strains which bring
tears to the eyes of strong men even. It is a Duett
for Soprano and Alto, with a Chorus; but so ar
ranged as to be complete and effective, when used
as a Song. Key of C—not difficult, and of moder*
ate range.
Little Major.
They called him “little Major’—the noble drum
mer boy:
The pride of all his Begiment, and bia Command
er’s joy.
Word* and Mo«ie t>y HENBI C
VOBK ... Frlce'iS cts.
At bis post, the “Little Major"
Dropp'd his drum that battle-day;
On the grass, all stained with crimson
Through that battle-night he lay— .
Crying, “Oh! for love or Jesus,
Grant me but this little boon!
Can you. friend, refuse mo water?
Can yon, when Idle so soon?"
Chorus— Crying, “Oh! for love of Jesus.
There are none to hear or help him—
All his friends were early fled.
Save the forms, ont-stretched around him,
Of the dying and the dead.
Hush—they come! there falls a footstep!
Hdw it makes bis heart rejoice!
They will help—Oh they will save him,
"When they near his fainting voice—
Crying, “Oh! for love of Jeans,” etc.
Now the lights arc flashing round him,
And he a loyal word:
Strangers they whose lips pronounce it,
Tetne trusts his his voice is heard.
It is heard—Oh God, forgive them!
They refuse his dying prayer!
“ Nothing bnt a wounded drummer,"
So they say, and leave him there—
Crying, “Ohl forloveof Jesus," «c.
See! Che moon that shone above him,
Veils her face, -as it tn grief;
And the skies are sadly weeping—
Shedding tear-drops of relief.
Yet to die Dy friends forsaken.
With his last request denied—
This he felt his keenest anguish.
When at morn he gasped and died—
dying, “Oh! for love of Jeans," &c.
"I6T State street.
“ WB Go Down Ourselves.”
This Up the indignant reply of loyal Northern
ladles,,to a desponding patriot, who, looking at
onr military reverses with folded hands, asks,
>( Wbat shall we do?" The music for the Solo
illustrates the fainting heart and tailing courage of
the latter cßeracter, while the Chorus comes in
with a burst of indignation from the Ladies.
Properly performed, the whole cannot tail to be
highly effective. A finely engraved title repre
sents an Army of Ladies actually going down
Ttihtmselre.!, armed with broomsticks, shovels and
tongs, tea-kettles of boning water, Ac., before
which the rebels flee in dismay.
Written in E flat, within the compass of ordinary
voices.

“ What shall we do. as years go by,
Andpeace remains a stranger—
With Richmond yet in rebel bands.
And * Washington in danger V
What shall we do for leaders, when
Old Age this race Is cropping ?”
I asked some ladies whom I met,
And didn't it set them hopping!
Cho. —“What shall vs Do? What shall tvs Do 1
Why. lay them on the shelves.
And we'll go down ourselves.
And teach the-rebels something newP
“ What shall we do when armies march
To storm the rebel quarters.
If. as of yore, their marches end
Beside Potomac's waters;
May not we caD our soldiers home ?
May not we think of stopping?”
I strove to frame the question lair—
Bat didn'tit set them hopping I
What shall we do ?” Ac.
What shall we do. when all the men
For battle have enlisted—
And yet the rebels bold their ground,
And law is vet resisted ?”
Instead of doing as I should—
The themepcßtely dropping—
I ventured yet one question more:
Oh. didn't it set them hopping!
“ What shall we do !" Ac.
“ Call ’Em Names, Jeff.”
Worii by B. TOMPKINS... .Music by
WUBZEIi Price 25 cts.
This Song will not be likely' to plesae your Se
cession neighbors, if yon are so unfortunate as to
have any. but as sarcasm la often more effective
than argument, it may help to shut tneir months.
At all events, it is a genuine and earnest gush of
patriotic feeling, and the music is bright and spar
kling. A novel effect is produced in the Chorus,
“ where the laugh comes in."
Said Beauregard to Lee and Jeff.,
“ These Yankee sons of thurder
Will scatter os from right to left,
Or cause us to knock under.
Unless we tod some other way
Of meeting their advances;
We’ve made up feces now so long.
They do sot mind onr glances.
Chorus— Ha.ha! ha,ha! ha,ha! ha,ha!
They do not—ha. ha. ha, ha. ha! -
-They do not mfod oar glances.
“Otme," said Jeff., “ I know it well,
Ew eball we change our game, sir ?'’
“ O dear I" said Lee —‘T cannot tell." .
Quoth Beau—“ we'll call them names, sir.-
“That's good,'* said Jeff., ‘-you've hit it Beau.
Cried Lee, “ that's what's the matter I*’
“ "We'D call them‘Abolitionists,’
And then you'll see them scatter." Ha, ha! Ac.
They rubbed their traitor hands In glee,
' And Issued stringent orders.
Signed by the polite Beauregard,
That henceforth, through their borders
The only word that should be used
To name the Yankee soldier
Should be ‘-an Abolitionist.' 1 , . .
And then they strutted bolder. Ha, ha! Ac.
They really thought that calling namea
Had strengthened their position;
When all their sneaking cars op North.
- Ban yelping ‘Abolition.”
Eat wi. VfeW* the tmitor«knDW,
we didn't scatter. Ha, ha! Ac.
We take the name yon give na. Bean,
Wo mean to makelttme, sir,
WeH first aholiah Slavery's power.
And then abolish yon, sir!

And keep them raising earn, 557
To feed the traitor hordes rontead—
