Address “CHICAGO TEEBUXB.’' Chicago. HI. Cljicago tribune. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 81, 1862. 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 TiV'C-. r>er. 88 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.

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.

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. .

Dec. 8.1662. f "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. Very respectfully, L. C. BABTOEI.Com.. U. 9. Nary. A. GABLAND, Major, U. 8; M. C. . D. M. COHAN, Capt.. U. 8. H. C. TECUMBKH STEECE. Lieut. U. S. N. T. Xu McELEATH, lstLt..U.S. M. C. T.H. CORRIB, Ist Lt., U. 8. M. C. W. B. McKEAN. IstLt.. U. S. M. C. A. W. WARD. Sd Lt.rU. 8. TL C. C. B. DANIELS, Sd Lt., V. S. M. C. 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.

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. FROM WASHINGTON. [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] The Mends of the Illinois and Michigan bin believe tire ‘measure will secure toe vote of a large majority of the New England members. The Massachusetts and Connecti cut delegations are believed to be nearly unan imous for it. Ford’s theatre was burned to-night, loss es timated at $20,000. Miss Richings wardrobe .plone is valued at $4,000. The amount necessary to pay oil the troops np to date Is estimated by the Paymaster Gen eral at $45,000,000. It is ascertained authoritatively that there is no foundation for the rumor that toe Com mittee on Ways 'and Means have entertained any proposition whatever, to change the ex isting law for receiving Old Demand Treasury Notes for customs. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided not to make any further issue of certificates of indebtedness beyond the limited amount already to the credit of disbursing officers. It is understood the holders will have the priv ilege as soon as practicable to fond them into twenty-year six per cent, bonds. Nkw York, Dec. 30.—The New York T/v lunc't Washington dipatch says: “ The War Department has issued an. order assigning Gem McClemand to the command of a corps under Gen. Grant. Members of McClemand’s staff and other officers are or dered to report to him at Memphis, Jan uary Sd.” £ 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. The JBeraM?* Washington special says: It is stated to-day in financial circles that the Secretary of the Treasury has consented to a further Issue of $300,000,000 Treasury notes. This woulc-carry the circulating me dium from $377,000,000, the amount estimated on the Ist of November by Secretary Chase, to $577,000,000; but the latter amount may be reduced by the withdrawal of bank notes from circulation under Mr. Chase’s policy of - - taxing bank notes.'

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.

Hargaa’s Force Set aid Re puted bj Col. Harlan, tuu Probably righting at Horfireetborov {Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] 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.

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. Words and Huslc by BENRT C.

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 !"

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!

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 , . .
