How 1t Happened the ~SeCeSslOnIst
Did rot fake Louisville.

sThe fact that Gen. Buckner did not take
the city of Louisville instead Of stopping at
Green river, where he invaded Kentucky
on the line Of the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad, is due not to any foresight
or force of the United States authorities,
or Of the Union men of Kentucky, but
10 the loyalty. courage, and love CT n
obscure Individual. The Secessionists
had laid their plans to appear suddenly
in Louisville with a powerful force
They had psovided for transportation
four hundred cars and fifteen locomotives
and had eight thousand men with equip
page and artillery on board. They had
secured the services of the telegraph OPP
-. orators, n of whom forwarded to Lou
isville ~despatchs explaining the detention
of trains on the road, and were moving
forward at great rate. Everything was
going well with them, and Louisville,
with perhaps the exception of a few Sc
ce~ssionists, was unsuspecting and ungar-
ded, General Anderson, being innocent
of any knowledge of the movements.
James Guthrie, president of the road,
totally in the dark, and General Ros-
seau lingering in camp on the Indiana
shore. But at a station Just beyond
Green river there was a young man in the
service of the road, who was a warm
friend of the Union, and who compre-
hending the meaning of the monster train
when II came up, seized a crowbar used
fer taking up rails 10 make repairs, and
while The locomotives were being wooded
and watered, ran across a curve, and In
a deep narrow cut, wrenched the spikes
from four rails. The train came at good
speed, the rails spread, the locomotive
plunged into the ground, the cars crash
on top of 1t, and it was twenty four hours
befoae the train could go away, in the
meantime Louisville was saved. The
hero of the occasion was taken, bat in the
confusion and excitement got away and
II now safe.

THE PLAN OF THE REBELS.
They wiU Abandon Virginia and make
their Winter Quarters an Kentucky.

They wiH Abandon Virginia and make
their Winter Quarters IN Kentucky.
We cannot believe that the plan Of the
authorities at Richmond is for the i'm
ems Southern army lately on or near
the Potomac either to attack Washington
or to winter in Virginia. They know
hat they cannot attack Washington with
success. and they know too that their
whole substance of Virginia is eaten
u Such an army as that of the PotO-
mac could not subslst through the winter
IN Virginia, VIGOROUSLY the impression
in the minds of the officers and men of
the army is that they are to find their
Winter quarters in Kentucky. The same
impression pervades the minds of the
people of Virginia, and, what is more, it
pervades the minds Of the leading seces-
sionists of this State. The sec~essionists
of our neighborhood. and, we doubt not.
of all the neighborhoods in Kentucky,
fully believe that the Confederate army
in Virginia intends occupying our State
through the approaching winter. The
prominent men of the secession party
around US. basing their calculations upon
the assurances they have in relation to
the designs of the Richmond government,
are thoroughly convinced that Kentucky
will be in full possession of the Confed-
crates within thirty days. We do not
know that any portion Of the army of the
Potomac has already arrived in Kentucky
or is on its way here, but certainly there
are apparently well-grounded rumOrs to
this effect, and the manuevers before
Washington tend to their confederation.
Positive statements are made that both
Buckner and ZolIIcoffer have been rein
forced and are now receiving reinforce
ments from Virginia, and they may be
true.
The Z. S. Government should look to
this matter al once, and, if necessary, act
as we'll as look. If Confederate forces
have been drawn off from the Potomac to
Kentucky, our government should know
1t and adopt at once a countervailing pol.
icy. By far too large a portion of the
tremendous army Of the United States at
Washington has bren drawn from the
West. The great and populous States of
the East and the centre should have fur
nished an army large enough for the de-
fence of the Capital, leaving the Western
States to defend the Western border
The railroad arrangements in Virginia
and Tennessee and Kentucky are such
that the whole Confederate army Of a
hundred and seventy-ive thousand, if
hat is the number, now or lately upon the
Potomac, can be poured into Kentucky IN
less than two weeks, and such an army,
unless confronted by a host like that now
arrayed for the defence Of Washington,
could, in two weeks more, sweep through
Kentucky and annihilate all the river
cities and towns Of Ohio and Indiana

DefenCeS OfCIncinnatI and COVlng'
ton,

Most persons in Cincinnati have but a
vague idea of danger in this quarter
There may be more danger in our posi-
tion than the public mind considers. The
defeat of General Sherman on the Lou
isville and Nashville road would unques-
tionably be followed by the fail of Lou
.~isville, and the uprising of swarms of
secession d~esperadoes all through the
twarms Of secession desperadoes all over
The Stare of Kentucky. Cincinnati would
be the point they would strike at. How
important then is the immediate rein
forcement of Gen. Sherman!
The work Of throwing up entertainments
npon the hills overlooking the City of
CoviDgton for its defense, has been COM
menced in the neighborhood Of the FIRST
tunnel" on the Kentucky Central Rail-
road. Amos Shinkle, Esq, Of Coying-
ington, has the contract for performing
this labor, which viii be conducted under
the surveillance of a corps Of experience
cd engineers, and will be forwarded with
ell the dispatch Of which its nature will
admit.
No work was done yesterday on the
Notifications. GrouLd has been broken
IN three places, and other gangs of la
boreTs will go to work to-day. Two Of
the large guns at the Asylum will be ia
ken to Prices Hill to day the main work
will be commenced. II will be an oc:a-
gon redoubt, on the Lexington road, two
and a half miles back of the river. Al
though the men were not employed yes
terday, yet the day was not lost; for the
engineers were busy all day. Before
this week is out guns will be mounted
on four or five of these works, and a
guard Of six men will be detailed to &C.
company each picce.-CiA Com.

Gen, FremOnt-HiS Removal, His
Policy.

BY reference to our Telegraph
columns in will be seen that the report
of General Fremont removal is not true
When the news Of his being removed
came over the wires from the East, the
whole west trembled! TIE St. Louis
Democrat says when the news reached
the soldiers there their indignant feelings
nearly led them to muiiny. We don't
wonder. The fact is no man has such a
hold upon the affections of the Western
people as General Fremont. All feel
that he is the man for the times, place,
and emergency. Had General Scott
himself taken charge of the Department
of the West, the people would not 50
enthusiastically and c~onfdentally rallied.
He has c~ongregated a vast army in an
almost incredibly short space of time
His policy is to deal heavy blows. Hence
the character Of his proclamation.
While many doubt the policy of that
proclamation, a moments reflection ought
to set those doubts at rest. 1t effects
none but rebels, and to such the govern
eminent should extend no leniency.-
Prompt, decisive, and severe measures
should be resorted to. The coniscating
act passed by Congress at its last session
does not meet the case. We speak of
the confscating feature. 1t only confs-
Gates the properly Of the rebels found in
use against the Government. To be ef-
iective it should confscate all the proper
ty of the rebels engaged against the gov
eminent. This was the superior feature
in Fremont's proclamation. To illustrate.
we are knowing to the fact that rebels
from the county in Missouri, opposite
us are now in Claib Jackson's army,
fighting to overthrow the Government,
while their property at home is under
protection of the laws of that govern
ment. Their farms and other business
operations are going or unlnolested, and
the proceeds regularly sent to sustain
them while absent, thus traitorously en-
gagged. Is there any reason, sense, JUS
tice, or policy in permitting such a state
Of affairs? Certainly not. Gen. Ere
mont's proclamation would coniscate ev'
cry cent of their property, and it would
be right. The one "dillydallyIng''
with this rebellion is stopped the better
it will be. and the 0 it will be over
with. If Congress does not at its mex
session make Gen. Fremont's proclama-
ton a law, it will fail to do its duty in
this great emergency.

Horses for the CAVALRY Comma.


ny.-We are frequently applied to by
men who wish to join the cavalry Compa-
MES now forming in this Territory, and
who have horses of their own, to know
whether they can sell their horses, or
take them into the service with them
We have taken the pains to inform our
selves in regard to the matter.
Quartermaster Patrick is now at Oma-
ha and is purchasing horses. He is pay
ing "about 500 for such as are accep-
ted. They must be of dark color black
bay, brown, s%orrell, or dark iron grey,
Is to Is hands high and from five to eight
years old. Volunteers are not allowed
to furnish their own horses. But having
a suitable horse, Government will pur-
chase it and an understanding can be
made with the commanding officer that
he can have the horse thus sold, allotted
to him in the distribution.

How Gen. FFemOut Does It.

A gentleman who called upon Gen.
Fremont, at St. Louis, a few days ago.
business of no less importance than
the equipment of a full regiment of cav
airy, says hat the following conversation
took place:
Gen. FL can give you a few min
utes but be brief and pointed, as my
time is very much occupied.
Col. -. | am - of -. Nv
men are all enlisted here are my muster
rolls. My boys are ready at the bugle
call. l am elected their Colonel.
Gen. F. Cooking over the papers.)-
ALI right-in order-seems to be cor
rect. Who are your references
Col. -. Nj. -- and MIR. -
Gen, Every well-call tomorrow
morning, at 10 minutes past A o'clock,
and you shall have your answer, and if
accede to your wishes, your papers will
be ready.
At ten minutes past four, precisely, our
our informant was at the Generals door,
which few open at his demand. At this
early hour the General was at his table
with the papers before him. The Colonel
made his bow and was saluted thus -
Gen. F.-Here are your documents,
which will get you your equipments
Make haste and report yourself with your
command to General -; and let me
hear a good report of you, as / have nc
doubt l shall from what your references
say. Good-by.
As the gentlemen weht out, he found
half a dozen gentlemen waiting IN their
turn for an audience. That is the way
Fremont does his business, and the above
is indicative of the hours he sleeps.

The Ciacinpati Enquirer Of Thur,ds.

The Cincinnati Enquirer Of ThurSday
says
The talk on 'Changs was about the
great army now coming West over three
trunk roads. Nothing definite is known
as TO the number, but il has been stated,
and upon good authority, 10 be between
forty and fifty thousand men. This, IN
connection with the refusing to receive
any Eastern bound freight, produced a
considerable excitement in commercial
circles, and had a tendency to bring forth
an almost entire suspension Of business.
To buy produce, with no prospect OF
shipment for the next few days, Is not a
very enviable position in which TO ylace
purchasers. Ii is not supposed that the
Government will require the roads (f
they are used by I'D for any length of
time, perhaps not more than one week.
The rolling stock of the New York and
Erie and New York Central is not far
from ten thousand cars, but what proper
ton of them are at the Eastern termini
Of these roads is not known here. If
the Government has the road, the great
question to shippers is, when will they be
in position to begin to receive freight S
Every hole and corner where freight can
be crowded at the depots in this city in
full to %overlowing, with nc cars to ship
it, and express orders not to receipt for
Eastern roads:
The Gazette Of same day says;
Not a pound Of freight can be shipped
East at present.

j. L. McDoweU U S marshall Kansas.
Sir: Your letter of the 18th July re
ceived 10Th under frank of Senator
Lane of Kansas asks advice whether
or not you should give your official SER
vices in the execution of the EugitiUe
&aUe Law.
1t is the Presidents constitutional duty
to take care that the LaWs be faithfully
executed" Thatmeans all the laws.---
He has no right 20 discriminate---no
right to execute the laws he likes and
leave unexecuted those he dislikes. And
of course you and l, his subordinates, can
have no wider latitude of discretion than
he has. Missouri is a State IN the Union.
The insurrectionary disorders in Nilsson
ri are but individual crimes and do not
change the legal status of the State, nor
change its rights and obligations as a

A refusal by a ministerial officer to
execute any law which properly belongs
to his office is official misdemeanor, of
which l do not doubt the President would
take notice. Very respectfully.
