Cochrane casually in the hall at Williard's

Cochrane: do you hear anything in addi-

nothing in addition, it's all in subtraction" !"

Paducnh--Its COmdItIOn--EflcctO Ofth'
Federal Occupation.


We clip the following items relative to
this secession hole, from the correspondence
of the st. Louis Rcpublican
If affairs in Kentucky continue in their
present State three weeks longer, the town
wilhc almos. dGpopulhtcd. Already num-
herIcss elegant residences are deserted and
stand silent monuments of bighting scces-
sion among the clustering vines and trees.
Society seems to have already fled, and
gloom and horror taken possession. Not Il
carriage is seen upon the streets, or lady
upon the beautiful walks. The stores arc,
many of them, closing, nul wagons with
the boxed up goods standing, Instead of
customers. before the doors. The cause
of this latter movement is the horror the
merchants have of purchases paid for in
State scrip, should the Gonrcdrrntes chance
to obtain possession of the town.
/ In no place yet have seen so bitterly
/ hostile II feeling existing, against the Union
as here. ScOwiug, angry glhnces watch
with what seems an intense hatred, every
movement of Il passing soldier. Some Ot
/ the wells have been poisoned where the
| camps get their water, and many similar
acts perpetrated. Secession is the rule,
and Union the rare exception. Whether
}
| the complaint, is still an open question
/ On the streets people wear secession caps,
aud boast that before the week closes every
] Federal will he driven out. The telegraph
wires have been cut through the town auci
across the sidewalks, or are twined around
trees. One noticeable result of the ar
/ rival Of the loyal troops, has been the re-
turn of Union men to their homes and
I families, from which they were driven
/ long ago.
I Yesterday as many ns fifty again stood
upon thresholds. and were greeted by tam :

threats that if they ever returned n halter

/ than probable that the reign of terror in
. Paducah is forever ended; and, if requiring
7 it. the government will not hesitate to take
/ necessary, though, perhaps, severe steps
/ to crush outrage and rebellion. The
slaves, of which there are many. seem To
/ have built up a theory Of their own OH the
/ subject, aud think the Government force
| the herald of their emancipation. In the
early morning, on their way to the market
and other PAGES, they gather in groups,
and discussion at once wakes warm on the
/ political significance OF things in general,
and the Federal occupation of Paducah in
particular.
In regard to the exact number of the
forces here, and their means OF defence
such information is not allowed to be pub
F.. liShed, as it gives aid (if not comfort) to
the enemy. The soldiers in Paducah are
very quiet and orderly, and the Kentuck
ians will have to acknowledge that the in
vhdcrs of the sacred soil are a very moral
set of fellows.

and Capt. Stephen McGroaty suatched the
colors, of which his company was custo-
dian, when Il rife ball pierced bis side and
disabled him for the fight. But every man
of his company stuck TO him in the fray,
and both their captain and their beloved
colors, were borne safely from the field.
ARTILLERY.
During the whole of the battle, the roar
of artillery reverberated among the crags
of Gauley, producing grand effect. The
rebel guns were served quite rapidly. but
were not directed with any sort of preci-
sion Ouly one or two of their round
shots took effect, most of them whistied
high up in the air, endangering the squir-
rcls in the trees more than they did our
men. Their grape, speltcr, canister and
she'll were also comparatively Intellectual,
but few casualties being caused by them.
Our artillery. which did not compare
with the rebels in numerical strength, were
better served, but a number of our shells
fiiled to explode. Captains Snyder and
McMullen, both volunteers, and their
men, deserve much credit for their
courage and skill. McMullcn was
severely but not dangerously wound
ed. The musket and rifle shooting
on both sides WAS much better comparative
ly than the battery practice, but both the
enemy aud our men shot either too high or
too low. The rebels had the advantage OF
firing ut rest from behind palisades. 1t is
singular that a majority of our wounded
were shot in the legs, and most of them
not seriously.
A fire on both sides from muskctry and
artillery was sustained nearly three and a
half hours, with occasional intervals of
almost entire si,eacc, when darkness COM
pclled the withdrawal of our troops from
the woods. They obcycd the order to fall
back with obvious reluctance, having
fought their way to positions which would
have enabled them to carry the position
with the hny0uet at II single dash, which
would have been done had daylight re-
maiucd half an hour longer. Bnt the game
fellows were Withdrawn and bivounckcd
under the very guns of the enemy. sleeping
on their arms suppcrless, and ready to car
ry the position by storm at sunrise next
morning.

had left him but moment to admire
rebel ColUurIs baggage, which he had left
in his haste, when the whole column prick
cd up their ears at the sharp sound of con-
fict, apparently not more than few hun
.lrcd yards in advance. Indeed it sounded
as if ii was directly before US. Twenty
or thirty shots were fired in quick success
sion, and we had scarce time to think,
when long, dreadful roar and rolling re-
vcrbcratiOn, rs if the earth had opened un
der our feet, shook the cliffs and thrilled
every soul. 1t was the roar of opening
battle.
1t was then precisely 3:45 o'clock. P. NJ.
There was Il discussion Mt headquarters at
that moment, whether the troops should go
into camp or into battle. The day had
been fervently hot The troops had
marched seventeen and IL half miles-hav-
ing been on foot since 3 O'Clock in the
morning, and were hardly refreshed after
the previous days march. Besides, many
of the best companies had been scouting
and skirmishiug all day. Indeed, most OF
them were obviously unfit for battle,
though all were eager to go into it, come
when it might. But it was now too late.
The deepening roar III the forest told US
too soIemnly that discussion must end
Volley after volley in dread concert con-
tiuucd y minute later the awful roar of
hostile cannon struck in its deep diapason.
Our own batteries had not gone up, but
stood on the hill waiting orders. Adju-

the last time, was calm and collected, and

Gen. Rosecrans' orders, but not under
