{ The Kanawha correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says five com
panies of the LIST Kentucky regiment,
four companies of the Ohio 34th. and
one Of the Virginia 5th, under Lieut..
Col. Engart, surrounded and attacked
the rebels at Chapmanville, and after
a short engagement completely rout-
ed them, killing so and taking 70
prisoners. The rebels in escaping
were intercepted by Col. Hyatt, who
killed 40 more and took large num-
Der prisoners. The country between
Charleston and Wyandotte river is
now free from the rebel power. This
is the most effective blow given the
rebels in that part of Virginia. When
the steamer left Charleston, a battle
was going on between Gen. Cox and
Floyd and Wise at Sewall mountain,
the rebels getting the worst Of it and
falling back on their entertainments at
Lcwisburg.

The War in Kentucky.

The i'll health of Gen. Robert An

see line.
The death of John C. Breckenridge
is reported, and many believe it. 1t is
said he was killed among the noun
tains of Eastern Kentucky by loyal
mountaincer. 1t is at least probable
that while skulking about in that re-
gion he has been shot. 1t is certain
that the mountaineers are in earnest,
and would as soon shoot the ex-Vice
President as any other man who at
tempts to convert Kentucky into a
Confederate bear-garden.
The Frankfort, KY, Commonwealth
says the Union cause is fourisling

have declared for the Union, and ar,
taking up arms against the Tennessee,
invaders. The mountains are alive
with zeal for the Union, and the PEG.
pie declare that no disunionist shall
live among them who will not defend
the State when actually invaded.

Plundering Warriors.

The traitors commenced war by
plundcring arscnals, unprotected forts,
and national treasures, and in the
same spirit they are apparently anx.
ious to continue it. In Western Vir.
ginia, few weeks since, it was un
dcrstood that the chivalric General
Lee, one of the grandest Of the F. f,
VS., was about to make an attack
upon Romney, for the purpose of cap.
turing q large number of cattle, which
Union men had collected in that yicin.
ity. 1t is part Of the system of the
rebel hordcs in Missouri to plundcr
the property of loyal men. and of loyal
communities, wherever they 60. And
serious approximations are entertained
in Kentucky that one of the chief OBJ
jects of the enemy in invading that
State is, to find upon its soil food for
their armies, plumber all its rich grana-
rics, and to sack Louisville. The lead
ers of our foes constantly seek to
stimulate their followers with the
hope that they win eventually be able
to capture rich Northern cities, and
rcvel in the wealth and luxury they
contain. Their privateers were avow-
eddy fitted out to steal the property
Of Northern citizens on the high seas.
Thus, OH sea and land, robbery goes
hand in hand with treason. Southern
legislation, too, or Southern mobs,
rob Union men in the South, or North
ern men who have property or debts
due them in that section. And thus,
in various ways, the loyal citizens of
our country have already been despoil-
ed Of hundreds of millions of dollars.
If anything were needed to increase
our execration of the men who are en-
deavoring to destroy the noblest Gov
eminent that ever was formed, their
barbarous, villainous, and dcvastat-
ing mode Of warfare would furnish it.
In contending against them, each
man should feel that he is struggling
not only for the re-establishment of
the Union, but to protect the lives
and property of loyal men from the
worst criminals that ever cursed any
age or country.

RailerS at Newspapers.

There is certain class of men who
are in the habit of railing constantly
at the press. 1t is not an uncommon
thing 10 hear them say the country
would be better of, if the press was
abolished, that every editor in the
country ought to be shot or imprison-
ed, with many other compliments to
the press of the same character. And
yet these men are generally most anx-
ious for news, and seize on newspa-
per and devour its contents with the
greatest avidity. These men live up
on their wits, and their stock of that
commodity is 80 small that they find
it hard picking, and hence become
soured with the world. Though oil
immense importance in their own eyes,
they are but of small Importance in
the estimation of tho public. Too la
~ to work like honest men, they find
the press keeping the public too we'll
posted to admit Of their succeeding
according to their desires in obtaining
popularity, Office and riches at the cx.
pensc of those who do work. They
spit out their petty spleen upon the
institution that stands in the way o.
their obtaining promotion by preyine
upon the credulity of the public. The
recent election has taught more than
one of these railers and deceivers the
estimation he is held in by the public.
Howling at q printing press, butting
a stone wall, and kicking against the
pricks, are equally profitable.

The West are heart-sick at the con-

complaint is loud that if change il
not seen soon, the army will be re-
cruited only with drafting. 1t is said
if the Government has no confidence
in General Fremont, let him be re-
moved at once, and some one put in
his place who has their confidence
that the whole season be not lost and
the quick, strong blow waited for
may be given, and that the nation be
not perilcd. Let the condition be that

ment have confidence in. Let all

pockets full of bargains be drawn ont

On Friday last, General Fremont
took his leave Of home with an army
onc-half the size Of his foe. 1t was
doubtful whether transportation could
be had to enable him to reach Lcxing-
ton from Rolla, the terminus of the
railroad. The want of this led to the
failure of the attempt to reinforce
Gen. Lyon. As he mounted his horse,
with troops standing near him, he
said to an intimate friend, who was
supporting Mrs. Fremont, Have yon
any word of counsel to give me Z" /" /
have" was the reply: Fremont, win
victory or do not come back I; and
when you come back purge your staff
and re-organizc it, and all will be
WELL" The answer was what any
friend of Fremont would suppose. He
waved an adieu and was soon cut OF
sight. The sequel is to be written.
