LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 6, 1861
The Union triumph yesterday bas abated SOL
thing of Secession impuaepce but nothing Of Co
cession malignty. Mr.. Harneys success oleR
Ex-Gov. Meriweather is a source of particulss
exutation among Union men, because the Secss,
sonists selected the latter for his SUPPOSE
adroitness at expert dodge, and then bach,
him up with Ex.GOy. MOrehead to make extrS
stump speeches. But one thing prevented thS
Rebel party from breeding riots at tho pells-a
consciousness of their inferior strength Fss
several days before the election they were busy
in circulating rumors that the soldiers over tho
river at Camp 10. Holt would behave very
Daughtily on election day; and Secession wom'4
and children were taught to shudder and hghf
and express great apprehensioDs OF "a mob
know of no instance throughout the day, hows
ever in which a soldier from that camp dis{
turbed the peace of any one till his own pescS
was frst broken.
The riot among the rebel soldery at Grand
Junction Town, on the I'd inst, was q whisky
riot. A Louisiana regiment commanded by .
Polish Colonel, and called The Polish Regiments
although composed Of men from almost every
nation, on its way to Virginia, Overhauled ksrs
rel of whisky at Holly Springs. The head vss
knocked out, and each man soused in with his
lineup as one would dip up spring water. One
Of them was tumbled from tho platform at the
Holly Springs depot, aud killed by the ears. As
they proceeded to the JUNCTION., pitching bayo.
nets at one another became pastime. Butby
the time they arrived at the last-named station,
they became completely insubordiDate. Aftet
sOmo rioting in the open air, a part of the rcgi-
ment entered little hotel in the village, and
those Outside, becoming belligerent attacked if
with axes, butts of guns, and other batte.ing 70
gines. Having effected on entrance, they der.ol-
ished all the furniture, and turned the house nI1
confusion. When their Colonel attempted to re-
duce them to order, fight commenced OF alI
more serious character. Several were said to DO
shot down by the commander; and during Ac
entire riot fourteen were left on the gN NJ
killed and wounded, beside many who were q
slightly injured as to be able to proceed on 40
cars. A Memphis correspondent from Gr.Ed
Junction says that the little hotel was Ike
crowded hospital, and its walls resounded with
the groans of the wounded aud dying.
At Mcmshs and at Clarksville, in Tennessee, tie
travelling public are required to present permits
from the Rebel authorities TO pass into or ont OF The
State. They have some mighty business on hand
and are jealous OF disclosure. The blockads

and coffee at % to 80. i am inclined to think tht
supply of both bacon and lard has been nearly exc
hausted throughout the South; and if the blocks
ade be kept up ngdly, there must be great want os
animal food for the negroes, well soldiers, d..

of whom have use for as many as ten casks of BE-.

pork for his farm" There is great hankeriAes

making its way to the South in wagons. / am st D.

Here are several rich specimens of the "snake
story" reports going the rounds in the South s.
press, about Manassas:
