WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1882.
Flag of the free heart's hope and home I
By angel bands to Valor given!
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born -In Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With freedom's soil beneath our feet,
And Freedom's banner streaming o'er UB T
OCTOBEE 20, 1858-OCTOBEB 20, 1862.
Four years ago on the 20th of October,
the present proprietors took charge of
the EXAMINEE AND HEEALD, and have
had the sole control and management
during that time. They flatter them­
selves that they have not labored in
vain to mate the EXAMINER a welcome
weekly visitor wherever it is read. At
the same time we return our thanks for
an appreciating Bhare of public patronage
bestowed upon us.
STATE TICKET.
The Breckinridgers claim that their
State ticket is elected by from one to
three thousand majority. Our most re­
liable advices up to last evening do not
indicate this as correct by any means.
All we can now say is that the result is
yet in doubt.
The Ohio and Indiana elections have
gone Democratic while Iowa has gone
largely Republican.

0TB MAJOEITIES.
By the official returns we have the
following handsome old fashioned majori­
ties for our candidates in this County :—
Cochran over Slenker, 4939
TEE FALSE CEY OP PEACE.
According to the Breckinridgers before
the election, all that was necessary to end
the war, was to vote their ticket, and it
Would end in tixty days. But pray how
are they to end it?
We anppoe* by shaking hands with
Jefferson Davis, calling him much abased
and oppressed brother, and inviting him
to rule over us, as the correspondent en­
dorsed by the Intelligencer, did. The
way to make peace—permanent, enduring
peace is to drive the traitors like Davis,
out of the country or hang them, disperse
their followers and compel obedience to
the constitution and laws.
This course to bring about peace is not
in keeping with the followers of Breok-
inridge, and the defenders of the course
of that imbecile or traitor James Buchan­
an, in allowing treason and traitors to rob
our mints, seize upon forts, and dragging
States out of the Union at their will and
pleasure. To have the Union divided and
treason and secession defended and justi­
fied. There is where they will give us
peace. Peace with them is but another
name for treason and treachery to the gov­
ernment. Under the shallow cry of aboli-
ionism and negro equality they are uniting
the ignorant and treacherous against the
government, and at the right time they
will develope the Hughes doctrine of recog
nizing the Southern Confederacy, and
switching Pennsylvania into the bosom of
rebeldom. Mark our prediction. There
is where they will give you peace. Not
by hanging traitors, for having compelled
you to send forth your sons and brothers to
slaughter and death for Union and liberty.

GEO WING BOLD.
The doughty Knight of tho Intelligen­
cer has grown exceedingly valiant since
the election, and in his paper of yester­
day gives vent to his feelings in language
more emphatic than elegant. Relying
upon the strength'and ability, the prowess
and patriotism of the Breckinridgers who
^ave Buchanan's candidate for Congress
343 majority in the City, he breathes
forth fire and flame against tho " villain-
ions sheets and the vile crew" who dare
doubt the patriotism, honesty and loyalty
of George Sanderson, James Buchanan,
or Juhn C. Breckinridge. Doubtless the
old man felt good after relieving his liver
of so much bile, and presided with bis
usual equanimity of temper and disposi­
tion at the trial of the loafers brought be­
fore him this morning. He is an amiable
man and the world knows it. A patriotic
man and Hen Schaum and Company
know it. A brave man and all the
" Black Republicans" and " pestilent
abolitionists" know it; but still in all
kindness and charity we will tell bim
that whenever through the columns of bis
paper, he denounces the administration,
falsifies its record and upholds and apoli-
gizes for men hostile to the government
and false to their duty as loyal citizens,
we will not only denounce the Treason
but expose the Traitor.

B£F The Intelligencer oi yesterday has
a fling at the non-resistant voters of our
county, who on Tuesday last did their
whole dity by voting to sustain the gov­
ernment. They " always vole but never
fight 0 ' says our very spunky neighbor.
Before the election the Duke street con­
cern and hangers on were very busy with
the non-resistants trying to convince them
they ought to vote and vote against the
war and for peace; that there never would
be peace unless they voted the Breckin­
ridge ticket. But as they did not suc­
ceed in convincing them that it was
right to sustain men who when they were
in power could not preserve the Union,
they turn about and taunt them about
their religious convictions. If they do
not fight we can tell the writer of the edi­
torial in tho Intelligencer and the editor
who endorses it, it is not for the same
reason that they refuse to serve their
country. They love the Union while the
aforesaid Breckinridgers hate it, and stig­
matize those who are fightiug for it, and
defending it as Abolitionists. If they do
not fight, it is not because they are cow­
ards and sympathizers with traitors, but
simply because they are honestly and re­
ligiously opposed to the taking of human
life, as their fathers were before them.
Can the Intelligencr clique say as much ?
A dispatch from a correspondent with the
Army of the Potomao states that tho doable
reconnoisanco made on Thursday and oonolu-
ded yesterday, was a complete sucoesa. The
force under Gen. Humphreys, which crossed
at Shepherdstoirn, met the enemy's advance
beyond Kearnyaville, whom they repulsed af­
ter a spirited skirmish, in which we had one
killed and two wounded,tand the rebels two
killed and several wounded. The foroe then
pushed on to Leetown, where it encamped for
the night, and started forward in the morn­
ing, but returned by orders from headquar­
ters. Gen. Hnncock, who commanded the
other expedition, alao returned yesterday
morning, having captured 1,600 bushels of
wheat in the possession of Union men, and
ascertained more fully the position of the en­
emy. The rebels were discovered to be in
force between Bunker Hill and Winchester,
their main body on a line parallel with Bun­
ker Hill and Berryville, and their right flank
on the Shenandoah. On Friday our pickets
advanced three miles from Cbnrlestown, on
the Horry ville road, and subsequently Captain
Heuo, with a small cavalry force, made a re-
connoissauce to within five miles of Bunker
Hill. There are indications that a great bat­
tle is imminent between the two grand armies
now so near each other.
There are rumors that an engagement took
place at Black water river, beyond Suffolk,
on Tuesday a week between our troops and
the rebels. A lieutenant and three men of
tho Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry were kill­
ed. No further particulars have been received.
By an official order just issued Major Gen.
Grant is^ssigned to the command of the l>e-
p irtment of the , Tennessee, which includes
Cairo, Fort Henry and Fort Doneison, North,
ern Mississippi, and the portion of Kentucky
and Tennessee west of the Tennessee river.
Official dispatohes from Nashville, reoeived
at. Louisville on Thursday, atnte that on the
lllh a large force of tho rebels were near that
city, and sent a flag of truce demanding the
surrender of the town. The federal force be­
ing sufficient for the defense, Gen. Negley de­
clined to surrender.
On Friday a week last a gang of about one
hundred guerrillas entered Hawesville, Ind.,
and for a time held possession of the town,
creating considerable alarm. They Btole a
number of horses and considerable provisions,
until driven across the river by the Cannel-
ton Home Guards.
The Washington Star of Friday afternoon
states that the rebel General Stuart, with a
force of between 2,500 and 3,000 cavalry,
reached Leesburg on Sunday last and halted
there until near noon of Monday. In the
meantime a considerable foroe of rebel infan­
try and artillery approached within sup­
portable distance of Stuart, in hope that an
attack wonld be made on Stuart of our army,
not being aware that he was supported.—
Stuart, however, took good care to move to
Winchester before a considerable force from
tho vicinity could get up to him.
The rebel force commanded by Colonels
Anderson, Johnson and Martin, and which
robbed the steamer Hazel Dell on Wednesday,
is supposed to have numbered 2,000. Groce­
ries, clothing and powder were taken to the
value of three thousand dollars, and they
threaten to burn all boats falling into their
hands after the first of November.
The Admiral and Philadelphia, two trans­
ports, were burned at Columbus on Wendes-
day, supposed to have boen the work of an in­
cendiary. The Admiral, while burning, float­
ed against the Philadelphia, from which a
thousand kegs of powder were taken before
she was destroyed. Major Dodge was slightly
wounded by a fragment of a shell. The IOSB
is estimated at seventy-five thousand dollars.
All the old rebel earthworks on the Poto­
mac have been destroyed ty our gun-boats.—
While engaged in destroying the fortifications
at Cockpit point, the rebels, with four field
pieces, made their appearance, but a few
shells, however, caused them to refrain from
uny hostile movements.
Gov. Curtin has written a letter demanding
an investigation into the conduct of certain U.
S. officers. Hesays that he has been inform­
ed that the General in command at Ilugers-
town knew that the rebels had crossed to the
borders on Friday morning.
All the Uabel infantry and artillery have
left Western Virginia, after having Eecured
large quantities of salt from the wells in the
valley. It is conjectured that they have gone
to East Tennessee to re-enforce Bragg. There
are no rebels now in the Kanawha Valley, ex­
cept Col. Jenkins' guerillas.

LAID IIP.
Our Democratic legislators of last
Winter, Messrs Peters and Worley. have
been mast effectually laid up in picket by
the voters of Lancaster county. One ses­
sion of these brilliant luminaries was all
that they could stand, and they have been
" squelched" completely. Tho " Man-
heiui" debating society will again have
the benefit of Mr. Worley's excrutiatingly
severe logic and bewildering flights of
rhetoric, much to the relief of the fortu­
nate wights who will occupy seats, in the
" Assembly" this winter. Mr. Peters
will have more leisure to see that the
Normal School turns out first class teach­
ers than he had last winter, while his
seat in the Legislature will be profitably
occupied by that veteran Democrat Judge
Champneys.
ELECTIOH OF TJ. S SEKATOB.
The Hon. SOLOMON FOOT has been for
the third time elected to the UnitcdS&
Senate from Vermont. He has been in'
public life for nearly 30 years. From
1833 to 1842 he was most of the time in
the Legislature from the town of Rutland,
and was for three years Speaker of the
Houso. In 1842, he was elected a mem­
ber of the National House of Represen­
tatives, where he served two terms, and,
declining a third election, resumed his
professional practice in Rutland for some
four or five years. At the expiration of
that time he took his seat, March 4,1S51,
in the United States Senate, where his
career for two terms as Senator, and as
presiding officer for a considerable portion
of the time, is well known to the country.
FBOM THE AEMY OF THE POTOMAC.
On Saturday Gen. Stahl, with a detachment
of cavalry, mot a large force of Itebel cavalry
and one battery of artillery near Thorough­
fare Gap, and attacked them, capturing 80
prisoners and one caisson filled with ammuni­
tion. The enemy was routed, and Gen. Stab]
followed in hot pursuit. As our troops, under
~,en. Humphreys, were returning from the
onnoiBancc of Thursday, the Rebels follow-
d with cavalry and artillery to within a short
distance of Saepherdstown, opening with the
latter whenever they could get within range.
Our loss was one man killed and six wounded
The troops safely recrossed at Shepherdstown
ford, bringing a number of prisoners. The
Rebel wounded, numbering 100, left at
Charlcstown, were brought within our lines
were they will be paroled. The Rebels had
between forty and fifty killed and wounded on
Thursday night, in disputing the advanco of
Gen. Humphreys's troops. A dispatch from
Headquarters dated Saturday evening says
that one hundred and fifty of the cavalry, in
eluding several officers, engaged in the recent
raid into Pennsylvania, have been aaptured
on this Bide of the river. They nro stragglers
from the main body.
THE DRAFT.
Had the advice of some of the most
loyal and earnest in putting down this
robellion of the slaveholders, been taken,
and 50,000 loyal colored troops been rais­
ed, as might have readily been done, this
draft would have been avoided. But
false democracy and treason disguised
prevented it, and brought this on us.
When will the people learn to disregard
the tricks of demagogues and traitors 7
t&~ The War Department at Wash­
ington has determined to allow Drafted
men twenty days in which to procure
substitutes.
In this connection we would caution
drafted men not to be imposed upon by
persons who visit them in the country,
offering to go as substitutes. We have
heard of such, who are going from house
to house, offering to go for all they meet,
but want some money down. Of course
these are swindlers and will never show
their faces again, after they get the
money.
. STRONG WRITING.
Our neighbor of the Intelligencer is fa­
mous for " strong writing," and as an evi­
dence of what he can do in that line we
subjoin a few ohoice specimens from his
paper of yesterday -.—
" Abomniable falsehoods;" " attrocious
libels;" •' villainous sheets;" " vile crew"
" Spit their venom;" " Infamous con­
duct j " " Cowardly miscreants;" " Cow­
ardly scoundrels;" "Malignant Vitupe­
rations;" " Negro idols;" Disgrace their
Manhood;" "Tyrants and Bullies;".and
BO on- We might multiply the evidence
of Sanderson's strong writing, but the
above will suffice to show our readers the
kind of food dealt ont to the hungry and
thirsty followers of Buohanan, Breckin­
ridge, tt.
THE GENERALS KILLED AT PERBYVILLE,
Brig Gen. Wm. B. Ferril, reported
killed at Perryville, was a native of Va.
He graduated at West Point in 1849-
In 1853 he was breveted as second
lieutenant in the 3d artillery. Two years
afterward he aoted as Assistant Professor
of Mathematics at the Military Academy
at West Point. In 1856 he was promot­
ed to a first lieutenancy in the Fourth
Artillery. He was sent West with his
battery, and fought during the cam­
paign in Tennessee.
Col. and acting brigadier Wm. H. Ly­
tic, also killed at Perryville, was a native
of Ohio. He served as a lieutenant in the
Mexican war: was elected Colonel of the
10th Ohio Regiment at the breaking out
of this war, and served under Gen. Mc-
Clellan in Western Virginia. He fought
gallantly at Rich Mountain, and was
wounded in the affair at Summerville.
He was ordered to Kentucky in Novem­
ber, 1861.
Oen. James S. Jackson was a Ken-
tuckian. He also served in Mexico.
When the rebellion broke out, he com­
manded the 3d Kentucky cavalry, and
was promoted as brigadier in August last,
and took command of the Ninth Division
of Q«B. MoOeok's amy.
FROM THE SOUTH WEST.
There are countless rumors from the South-
West concerning war matters. As, for in.
stance: Bragg on Tuesday, with 40,000 men,
•was at Camp Orchard, intending to camp a
few miles below, lie is rapidly retreating
toward Mount Vernon. Kirby Smith was
going out of Kentuckey on the road to Man­
chester, Clay County; thence by the road
whereon Bragg ia retreating, toward Cumber­
land Gap. Ia Mississippi County, Mo., the
Rebels are very active, and the Secesh in the
surrounding neighborhoods aro flocking into
Rebel camp, twenty miles from New-Madrid,
in large numberB. The Rebel force in that
vicinity is from 1,000 to 1,600. On Thursday
the steamer Emile was taken possession of at
Portland by 200 guerrillas. They passed
Linn, Osage County, on the following morning
on their way north. Gen. Price is said to be
gathering a large number of troops at Holly
Springe, with the viow of attacking some
point on the Mobilo and Ohio Railroad.—-
There is a rumor at Cairo that an attack has
been made by the Rebele on the Union troops
at Island No. 10. N"o boat has arrived at Cairo
from Memphis in three days, and trouble is
feared on the river.
From EiiBt Arkansas, intelligeance is re­
oeived that the Rebel force, about 7,000, has
been concentrated under McBride, at Poca­
hontas. Gen. Carr, in command at Helena,
reports Holmes and Hindman with a con­
siderable force on the west Bide of the river,
threatening to attack him, their object being
to do so before he could be re-enforced.
Tho Rebel rough-rider, John Morgan, matU
a dash into Lexington, Ky., on Saturday
morning, but did not Btay. Our men fought
awhile, but he was too strong for them ; we had
six killed, and 125 were taken prisoners, but
immediately paroled. On Sunday, when
between Vet sailles and Frankfort, Morgan
was met by 2,500 of Gen. Dumant's eavalry,
who, after a short fight, routed and dispersed
the Rebeli. Ltxiagten is BOW In powMikn
»t T«l»a tntft.
It will be rsoolleoted that after the rebel
attack and defeat at Corinth, Miss., they re­
treated to Hatchls river ou Saturday, the 4th
last, where the; strongly posted themselves
on the opposit* side, beside planting a battery
of artillery, and detailing a considerable force
across the river in front of the bridge which
crosBed it. Two divisions of national troops,
under command of Gens. Huribut and Veatch,
had marched to the assistance of Roseorans at
Corinth, with the added design of cutting off
the rebel retreat, and came upon the enemy
in foroe after a march of twenty-six miles,
and after some heavy skirmishing, and bi­
vouacked in line of battle in front of the col­
umns of Price and Van Dora. Tho Tribune
correspondent desoribes what followed on Sun­
day:
" The oountry in the vicinity of the river
is very broken—short, sleep hills, and the
valleys filled with a thick underbrush of tim­
ber. Our army was faced directly east on the
line which divides the State of Mississippi,
and approaching the Hatchie river, which at
the point of crossing runs nearly from the
south to the north.
Early in the morning our army began to
move, shelling the bights with the artillery,
the 14th Illinois and 28th Indiana acting as
skirmishers, and, together, driving the ene­
my's cavalry and skirmishers from every po­
sition.
Soon after the march commenced, Major-
General Ord arrived on the field and took the
chief command, though he made no changes
in the disposition of the troops or the plan: of
the engagement.
The first important contest was openedabout
nine o'clock for the possession of the hill,
whose slopes and the bottom beyond stretched
three-quarters of a mile to the bridge acroas
the river. The enemy had planted a battery
of four 12-pound howitzers immediately in
front of the bridge to protect the advance of
their infantry, which had already been massed
in the timber on both, aides of the wood. Du­
ring the fire of thiB artillery upon the hill, our
line of battle was advancing up the opposite
side, preceded by the artillery.
Bolton's battery was quiokly planled in po­
sition on the hill, which was no sooner per­
ceived by the enemy than they started a col­
umn of infantry on their left, facing our right,
to flank it, which movement was checked by
throwing out Bumap's bafery to the right of
Bolton's battery some distance, which opened
upon the advancing column of rebel infantry a
most destructive fire of grape and canuister,
which, with the aid of some sharp practice of
our in fan try, send the whole mass belter skelter
back through the timber, across an open field
and into the woods beyond, so far that they
were never seen afterward. Immediately af­
ter, both batteries were brought to bear upon
that of the rebels in front of the bridge, and
after a sharp contest, were enabled to silence
it.
The first line of battle had been formed by
the Second Brigade, the First being held as
a reserve." Gen. Veatch, led on his line in gal­
lant style. His right was speedily engaged
by fresh troops which the enemy had thrown
across the bridge and deployed to their left,
but with little effect in stopping, the onward
march of our troops. The left wing of our
column, with Capt. Fox in its lead, were feel­
ing their way thiough a point of timber and
over a deep gully, and endeavoring to draw
tho fire of the rebels posted 'o the right of
their battery. This they did not succeed in
doing until they reached an open space, when
tho fife of the rebels told plainly where they
were, and that in numbers not to be despised.
The infantry engagement which followed was
sharp, short and decisive.
In twenty minutes from the time tho rebels
opened their fire, four hundred of them threw
down their arms and surrendered, while hun­
dreds of others escaped, some by throwing
themselves into the river and reaching the
opposite bank ; a few made good their retreat
acrosB the bridge; others broke for the right
and left, some throwing away their arms in
their flight. The rebel battery was then drawn
to our rear. During this march dowu the hill
Col. Davis of the 40th Illinois was severely
wounded, while gallantly leading his regiment,
and the command devolved upon Lieut. Col.
J. J. Jones. During this time the rebels open­
ed another battery on an eminence a quarter
of a mile in rear of the bridge, and command­
ing it, and were throwing a galling fire from
it, as well as from their infantry, which lined
every available point on that side of the river.
At this time Gen. Huribut was just bring­
ing up ihe reserve brigade, or all of it but
two companies, which proves the desparate
character of the engagement. All of the ar­
tillery was also being hastened forward.
"Pretty warm work," says Gen. Ord to Gen.
Huribut. "Not very," was the cool reply.
"That battery," pointing to the one across the
bridge, " must be silenced," said the comman­
der. "It shall be in twenty minutes," was
the reply. Some doubt being raised as to the
proper point of placing a section of Bolton's
battery, "Show me the place," Baid Senior
Lieut. J. N. Moore, "and J will plant it there
if it is in—." Such was the spirit and deter­
mination of the whule army.
Gen. Ord had just ordered the 53d Indiana
to cross the bridge, and they doing BO under a
most terrible fire from the battery and from
the infantry of the enemy, when GQW. Ord re­
ceived a shot in the leg, just above the ankle
joint, the ball fortunately passing between the
bones of the leg, but necessarily disablinghim
from further immediate duty. This was not
far from 10 o'clock. Gen. Ord had been very
active and devoted in conducting the battle.
So far everything had prospered, and
yet Vfee troops were entirely unacquainted
with%aeir new commander. However bravo
and skillful he might be, they did not know
him. Huribut they did know and believed in
him, it was sure. He had planned this engage­
ment, and undoubtedly the troops thought
they could eiecute it better, and with more
confidence, under the man they knew and
trusted than any other. It was natural.
The 53d Indiana was struggling against a
storm of lead and iron, which swept the en-
rire length and breadth of the bridge. The
25th Iudiana, tho 14th and 15Lb Illinois,
sprang in to share the danger, and nil pushed
through the storm, the Indiana troops crowd­
ing to the right along the narrow space be­
tween the road and the river, which made a
short bend just above the bridge ; the Illinois
troops deploying to tho left. Col. Morgan of
the 25th Indiana, I believe, was the fh-Bt to
io cross the bridge. The 12th Michigan, the
08th Ohio, and the 46th Illinois immediately
followed, and all the artillery was close io
their rear, and opened fire as soon as it was
fairly across, while Gen. Lanman's brigade
WOB hurrying up the steps to join in the des­
perate affray that closed up the glory of the
day. The most of these troops, deploying to
the loft, drove the rebel infantry from every
poBition they attempted to maintain, and Col.
Hall and Lieut. Col. Rogers led their regi­
ments up the hill to flank tho rebel battery.
Gen. Veatch here received a stroke on the
head of bis scabbard from a passing round
shot, which for a time completely paralyzed
him. The rebel battery, perceiving the loss
of its infantry support, and the imminent dan­
ger it was in from our advancing columns,
was rapidly hauled off to another eminence,
some distance to the northwest of itn old po­
sition, when the hill in front of the bridge was
immediately occupied by the 1st Missouri and
Bitmap's Batteries. Bolton's Battery was
planted on anoiher eminence to the left, and
the 15th Ohio still further to the left. Another
rebel battery opening upon the 15th Ohio Bur-
nap's was ordered to its assistance, and in
these positions our artillery at 4 o'clock could
find no reply to their discharges, nor discover
the retreating forms of our enemy.
The weary troops camped on the ground of
their victory. The cavalry followed up the
retreating rebels, who, in small squads, made
their way for Cram's Mills, six miles up the
river, where they effected a crossing, and kept
up their retreat southward all night.
In the morniDg our troops gathered up the
fruits of their victory—four rifled howitzers,
five caissons, 1000 stand of arms, 500 small
arms, and a few horses and mules. Between
400 and 500 prisoners-were sent to Bolivar,
where they are yet retained. After scouring
the country in every direction for two daya,
the army returned to Boliver.
It is needless for me to add one word of
praise, either of particular officers or of the
men. They all did their duty.
The infantry and (he artillery were worked
together in admirable harmony, and confident­
ly relied upon each other to perform their par­
ticular duties in the battle. And, in my judg­
ment, the best criterion of officers' abilities ia
the opinion (f the men who fight under them;
and that Gen. Huribut and Major Campbell.

The Washington Republican has a story
abont a negro plot having been discovered in
Culpepper county, Va., and that the inhabi­
tants are terribly exercised abont it. Several
negroes had been arrested, and papers con­
taining the' President'! proclamation found
upon them. They have all been hung.
The rebel conscription *°t is being remorse­
lessly enforced ia Fredericksburg, and all
other places which have lately come under the
rebel sway.
Over two hundred rebel prisoners have ar­
rived at Fortress Monroe, on their way to be
exchanged.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 16th thinks
that an attempt will soon be made to force
iron-clad vessels past Fort Darling, and sayB
forewarned let us, be forearmed.
The same paper says of the fight at Perry­
ville, that it was a drawn battle, and that Ken­
tucky will mourn it many years.
Another ladies' gunboat has been launched
and named at Charleston.
The same paper laments the dishonesty of
the many Bouthera postmasters.
The rebel force that seized the steamer Emi­
ly, at Portland lately, have been met and rou­
ted near Waynesville, by Lt. Col. Sigel. The
rebels were under the command of Porter,
The roving rebel bands in Missouri have
come to the conclusion that the climate is un­
healthy, and they are leaving the State as fast
as possible.
Clothing, bed covering and diet are badly
needed for the sick and wounded soldiers at
Louiaville.

gte*.
The Draft for Militiamen—The draft so
long talked of, so long dreaded and so often
postponed, commenced on, Thursday last, the
16th Inst, Precisely at 10 o'clook the Com­
missioner, James L. Reynolds, Esq., and htB
Assistants commenced operations in the Or­
phans' Court Room in the Court House. A
large number of persons were in attendance,
but the proceedings were conducted without
interruption, and with great fairness. How­
ever unpopular the measure may be with Borne
olasses of our citizens, all must admit the draft
has been made with great impartiality. We
doubt whether if in any other county in the
State, it has been attended with the same
degree of popularity as in Lancaster county.
This, in a great measure, is owing to the per­
sons superintending it. "Men of character
and position, the public was assured in the
outset that the draft would be an honest and
an equitable one.
A email per centage above the quota was
drawn in each district, to meet any emergency
which might occur. Those persons, therefore,
who have been drawn after the quota is at­
tained, have a very fair chance of escaping
altogether.
The annexed table exhibits the number en­
rolled in each district and the number of draft­
ed men required.

Mr. W. C. Gner, of Kentucky, writes a let­
ter to MB friend, L. W. Hall, of Ravenna, Por­
tage county, Ohio, in which he relates the
misfortunes and troubles he recently experi­
enced at the hands of rebel cavalry led by
John H. Morgan, a notorious guerilla and
thief, who holdB the rank of general in the
rebel service :
"I am now," says Grier, " a refugee. The
torch of the incendiary rebel has been put to
my mills, tny store, and my dwelling. All is
consumed ; the labor of nearly twenty years
is destroyed. On last Wednesday night, the
rebel cavalry of John H. Morgan, to the num­
ber of 800, encamped within two miles of my
place. Through the whole night they were
momentarily expected to come upon us. Ev­
ery person left the house and hid in the woods.
I could not do so ; my wife was near her con­
finement, and my anxiety for her kept me
near my dwelling, but to allay her fears for
my safety I had to appear to be absent. No­
thing occurred during the night As the
morning dawned, I went further from my
house, and took a view of the premises and
the roads leading to them. I could see no re­
bels, and I determined to seo my wife, let the
consequences be what they might. As I was
nearing my door, eight rebels suddenly ap­
peared before me, with their guns presented
to my breast, and took me prisoner. Soon the
whole rebel band was upon me. Morgan
cursed the men for taking me prisoner, say­
ing that he had ordered me to be shot down
on sight. He then opened my store and told
his men to rifle it of everything they desired
and then set fire to it. I implored him not to
do so, as it was so near my dwelling that it
also would be consumed. I informed him of
the condition of my wife—for myself I asked
nothing, but I begged of him, in common hu­
manity, not to destroy my wife and little
children. He answered, with a fiendish oath,
that be intended to burn ovorything I had—
be would put fire to my house and born my
wife and children up in it—he would wipe out
the whole Abolition concern. This threat was
applauded by many of his men, who said they
went in for killing men, women and children.
I was then placed upon a horse, without a
saddle, and conducted to the front of their col­
umn, and orders were given to shoot me down
if fired upon by bushwackera, as they Btyled
them. I assured them they would be fired
upon if the people had any spirit, and I be­
lieved they had. When they saw the confla­
gration of their homes, they would waylay
and fire upon them, even if their number was
ten times greator. After firing my property,
he (Morgan) rode past me and said, pointing
to the flame, " You find your loyalty to your
Abolition government pretty expensive, don't
you V
That he was not subsequently shot, although
the rebels were a second time fired upon, was
owing to the fact that the captain of the squad
who had him in charge had not been sworn
into the rebel service, and did not therefore
hold himself responsible to Morgan. Shortly
after this promise on the part of the captain,
the friends of Grier commenced emptying the
saddles of his captors. The firing finally be­
came so hot that the captain could no longer
protect his prisoner, and so said. He con- I
tinues—
I soon took advantage of the excitement pre­
vailing, and jumped from my horse and fled
to the woodB unobserved, and made my escape.
I reached where had been my home at dark.—
1 found my wife had been carried by eomc
kind ladies to an unocupicd bouse, and a phy­
sician was with her, who eaid he would fctay
with her. It was not more than twenty min­
utes till Morgan's guerillas were agnin upon
mo. I escaped through the fields to the woods,
making iny way to Portsmouth, 35 (riles, my
nearest point of complete safet3', where I ar­
rived next morning, without food, sleep or rest.
I immediately came to this city (Cincinnati),
where there was owing me about $75, with
which I will purchase a Ballard rifle, and re­
turn to tne vicinity of my family, hide in the
woods and caves, and pick off every butternut
I see, until I oan get my family away to some
place of security, and then—and then I will
not make peace with them.
It is evident Morgan and bis followers have
aroused u devil in Grier—one who will be am-
ply avenged on the thievish crew before he is
through with him. It seems Mr. Grier has
been cured of his sympathy for slavery and
the blessings which follow it, and ia now for
its annihilation in Kentucky and elsewhere.—
He Bays:
Why is all this p?rsecution of me ? U ia'
becauso I condemned this wicked rebellion,
urged a vigorous prosecution of this war, ami
in my place in the Senwte of Kentuckey op­
posed the temporizing policy of my own parly.
For this I am burned out and hunted out of
Kentucky. I am now unequivocally for con­
fiscation 1 subjugation, extermination, and hell
and damnation.
That's the talk! We may rest assured that
he will not temporize with traitors in arms, or
make terms with murderers. He is not only
for a vigorous prosecution of the war, but for
" confiscation and subjugation." What have
the " Peace Democracy"—the members of a
party who would ratherhwe the Union broken
than slavery " disturbed"—to say to a man
who has experienced so much as Senator
Grier of Kentuckey ? Perhaps a similar
course of" sprouts" in their own persons
would awaken them to conviction that, how­
ever much distance lends enchantment to the
view, a near approach to slavery may not be
so enchanting as even the unfortunate Grier
and his sick wife have found it.

the soldiers in their ability and discretion,
there is no doubt. This division is willing to
trust itself whereever Gen. Huribut tells it to
go-
The enemy, scattered and broken as ho has
been in his attack upon Corinth, and in being
attacked at Hatchie river,^ had undoubtedly
made the best of his way to Holly Springs,

are the lately exchanged prisoners
A dispatch has been received at Washing­

States gunboat Maratanza, off Cape Fear
river, the 11th instant, which states that on
that date the rebels opened on him with two
Armstrong guns, from a battery -constructed
on the beach the night previous. The second
shell struck over the port-quarter of his ves­

others. The vessel- got under weigh, hut "a

THE LAST WORDS OF A DYING HES0-
The following letter of Col. Brodhead, kil­
led in one of Pope's battles, to his wife, writ­
ten in hiB dying moments, has been published
at the request of friends who believed that it
belonged to the Nation, as well as to his fami­
ly. His touching pathos and high-toned pa­
triotism will awaken fresh regrets for the death
of this noble soldier and (rue man:
MY DEABEST WIFE—I write to you, mortally
wounded, from the battle field. We are again
defeated, and ere this reaches you, your chil­
dren will be fatherless.
Before 1 die, let me implore that, in some
way, it may be Btaled that Gen, - has been
outwitted, and that is a traitor. Had
they done their duty as I did mine, and had
led as I did, the dear old flag had waved in
triumph.
I wrote to you yesterday morning. To-day
is Sunday, and to-day I sink to the green
couch of final rest.
I have fought well, my darling, and I was
shot in the endeavor to rally Dur broken bat­
talions. I could have escaped, but would not
till all hope was gone, and was shot—about
the only one of our forces left on the field. Our
cause is just, and our Generals, not the ene­
my's have defeated us. In God's good time
he will give us victory.
And now good-bye wife and children. Bring
them up, I know you will, in the fear of God
and love for the Savior. But for you and the
dear ones dependent I Bhould die happy. I
know the blow will fall with crushing weight
on you. TruBt in Him who gave manna in
the wilderness.
Dr. Nash is with me. It is now after mid­
night, and I have spent moBt of the night iii
sending messages to you.
Two bullets have gone through my chest,
and directly through the lungs. I suffer but
little now, but at first the pain was acute. I
have won the soldier's name, and am ready to
meet now, as I must, the soldier's fate. I
hope that from Heaven I may see the glorious
Old Flag wave again over the undivided Union
I have loved so well.
Farewell, wife and babe*, and friends. We
shall m»«t again. Tour lorini;
