The Sailors at Cairo.

The Cairo CORE spondent of the St.. Louis
Republican, writes
The seamen who lately arrived from the
East, and who are now quartered on the re-
ceiving ship Maria Denning. are q queer
set, having customs, thoughts and express
sions peculiar to themselves They attract
considerable attention when allowed on
shore Directly on their arrival, while they
were being transferred from the cars to the
boat, some of them picked up little boy,
about knee high, briget little fellow who
was just beginning to talk, stuffed him in q
mess chest and smuggled him in board
They tattoed the youngster with their
marks, and took such rough care of him as
they could When asked where they got
him, they swore that he belonged to them,
and that they had brought him from the
East. The sold man." however, was not
satisfied, knowing their tricks by experience.
He took the little fellow on shore, bought him
a cap and feather, with other fancy fix
ings and after time found his home, re-
storing him to his anxious mother.
In subsequent letter the same ceres
pondent says:
There exists considerable Jealousy, if not
stronger feeling of antagonism, between
the sea and land fighting men, and it seems
to be on the increase. The blue jackets
look rather contemporary upon the SOL
dlers, and are always ready to pick up
tight with them, believing in their ability to
whip any reasonable number of the Gland
crabs" They are rough set, though
splendid body of men, who will do first rate
fighting when called upon. When the other
large instalment arrives, which is daily ex-
pected, it will be difficult to keep them un-
der control. When coming down the rail-
road, through Illinois, they burst all bounds,
and those in charge of them were compelled
to allow them unlimited license, as they
took it whether or no. They were continu-
ally hghtiDg, with fists and knives, occs-
sionaly varying the amusement by pitching
each other off the cars while in full motion.
1t is said that as many as fifteen were killed
on the trip through the State. When they
arrived, seventy were missing, but twenty
or more have come struggling in during the
| past week. Whenever the train stopped at
| q station, they would make an indiscrimin-
ate raid upon shops and stores, taking any.
| thing that could be of service to them, and
many articles they could not possibly use
| They took the entire kit and ssfixings" Of 8
| shoemaker's shop, bringing the spoils tC
| Cairo. They killed three COWS, bringing
their tails as trophies, while hogs, and sucl
'fsmall deer" were slaughtered recklessl,
| and uselessly. These uncouth cubs are be

sonites and Brownlowites have interrupted
communication by the Tennessee and Vir-
ginia Railroad; and they can not tell how
soon General Sherman, of the ceast exped1-
tion, may make drive in the direction OF
Branchville, South Carolina, and so break
the southeastern chain of railroad connec-
ton. This would leave the pirate msgnates
no bsckdoor of escape when Mcclellan
closes In upon them. It is quite possible
that, in transferring their sppsratus and
srchiyes-of treason to Nashville, they add
noting of perInanence to their den OF leca-
tion. But she that fights and runs awsy
may live to fight another day" This is
what they were meditating on when they
resolved on the transfer. Nashville had
three back doors of escape-the Chstts-
nooga and Tennessee and Alabama rail-
roads, by means of which they can fy into
Alabama and Georgia, and little stretch
of the Nashville and Northwestern railroad,
upon which they could spirit themselves
away into the wilderness, if pressed out Of
measure and cut off from the others. Then
they have convenient front door retreat, in
the Memphis road. Besides, the country
around Nashville abounds in good turnpike
roads, running Southwark. The Confeder-
ate carpet-kuights wish to be IS conyerient~
ly situated as possible for q precipitate
flight into Mexico, when our boa-constrictor
begins to tighten his coils.

The Yankees in Northern Kentucky
are terribly frightened at Zollicofers
movements. The following paragraph
we copy from the Louisville Journal Of
the 9Th:
ZoLLrcoFFER ADvANcINa.-We have
news by letter from Somerset, KY, to the
effect that Zollicoffer has advanced TO the
north bank of Green river with twelve
thousand men, and that Gen. Shoepf
with his forces, is retreating from before
them to Somerset. Zollicofer's force is
far superior to that of the Federals upon
that line, and fears for the safety OF
Gen. Shoepfs's gallant command may
well be INDUCED.
ZoLL1coFFER's ADvAEcE.-We learned
by the train from Lexington this morn
ing that Zollicofer, with his force of ten
or twelve thousand men, had not only
crossed the Cumberland river, but that he
had advanced six miles north of Somer-
set.

Ine5riated Soldiers WHat Gen. Buell. said
about the Rebel Capital Why the Rebels
Removed IL.
Especial Correspondence Of the Chicogo Times.l
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. &c.
I think [ have seen more drunken soldiers
within the last twenty four hours than du-
ring any month of my former life. General
Nelson's gallant brigade had undergone Sc
we're hardships before reaching Louisville,
having performed long marches through
heavy rains and deep mud, going three days
n one instance, upon half rations. Yet the
soldiers were in usual health, the number on
the sick list being absolutely Insignificant
for body of FIVE thousand men. But there
is reason to fear that their campaign on the
streets of Louisville will occasion more sick
ness than all their forced martches and se-
we're privations. Some of their officers
richly deserve to have their ears pinched, to
say the least, for suffering them to straggle
off into the sinking whisky halls of this
metropolis. What are officers appointed for !
To get good pay and patronize hotels, and to
gag and manacle soldiers after they have
become uproariously and unmanageably
drunk Is it for ornament they are Great
ed? or for useful purposes? I am just red
republican enough, and Biblieist enough to
think that where much is given much is re-
quired. If the government pays officers
more than it pays those in the ranks, it is
expected by such pay to secure the servi-
ces of circumspect, watchful men, who will
not take command of companies, regiments
and brigades, merely to lord il over them by
virtue of their authority, but will exercise
a guardianship over their habits and more
minute actions, SO as to conserve their ap-
parel, their habits, and even their reputa-
tion, as much as possible.
Not only have soldiers been reeling about
our streets singly, since yesterday morning,
in beastly inebriation, but squads of them,
often NTH loaded guns in their hands, have
been rowing about, as if turned loose upon
an armed reyel. One discharged his piece
in a public street, and might have killed
several persons, but that the contents went
upward. What will the sneaking Secession
lists of Louisville write to their friends at
Bowling Green and dNashville-for they can
always find means to write, though Union
men cannot-about the Eastern Kentucky
brigade?
" They'll clepe us drunkards. and with swinish
Soil our addition; and then, indeed, It takes
From our achievements, though performed at
height,
The pith and marrow of our attrlbuts."
When some persons, the other day, called
General BuelPs attention to the telegraphic
statement that JEFF Davis Congress had de-
termined to transfer their "eapital" from
Richmond to Nashville, he seemed tiekled st
such presumption, and replied " That's
where srs are going" By the way, there is
more of Jack Fslstaff's courage than any
other kind in this new move Of the rebel
conspirators. The East Tennessee john.

We happen to have before US copy Of
the Vincennes ia. Sun of the Sd inst. 1t
is furious against Lincoln and Cameron for
their proposition to free and arm the slsves,
and talks out as if its editor really lived In
a free country instead Of under the most
odious, infamous, and CALLING despotism on
the face Of the globe. But We commend the
article in the Sun to the attention Of our
Kentucky readers, and especially to the
consideration of those who claim TO be Union
men although strongly opposed to abolition
ism:
The Abolition Secretary OF War.
All conservative men are disgusted with
the line of policy marked out for the Admin
istrstion, in regard to placing the knife and
the torch in the hands of the slaves Of the
South, to massacre the households Of their
masters-to butcher inoffensiye women and
children. We do not see how the President
can tolerate the conduct and sentiments Of
| his Pennsylvania Secretary. He appeals to
| the Abolition element Of the country-and
| endeavors to rouse the worst feelings Of
these fanatics. We agree with cotempo-
| rary that he should go and hide himself in
some Abolition conVentlcIe, ana spout MS
| savageism to fsnaticaI old men in petticoats,
and old women in breeches, and not talk to
white men who are able to save their own
Government
officers and soldiers of the Federal army,
what think you of tie suggestion Of these
demagogues? Do you wish to give out that
you can't do the work yourselves; and that
you must call on the negro to help you; to
fight your battles for you? Yet Cameron
says he has sent an extra number of guns to
be to put into the hands of the negroi Arms,
sacred to the hands Of white men, to pre-
serve the laws, and the Constitution, and
the rights of the whole country, to be put
into hands Of assassins; to inaugurate servils
war and indiscrlminate butchery!
Cameron never had q conviction he could
call moral in his life. He thinks the time
has come to win Abolition support and place
him in the line Of Abolition promotion. He
thinks his suggestion viii entice the fanatics
to his support, whilst the anlmosities engen-
dered by the war, and the provocations of
the ill-conduct of Southern demagogues, will
lead others to tolerate his vile suggestion.
The Administration owes it to itself to get rid
| of him. He is supplying ammunition to
the enemy. His speeches are contraband
articles. They are worse than powder and
ball furnished he Confederstes. Let's have
no more of him.
