The Great Rebellion.
Progress of tho Work of Suppression.

Dispatches from Kentucky announces tha,
ZolliooiIer has left Cumberland Gap to reen.
force Buckner. The probability is that hs
has taken an important force with him.
An account is also given Of an attack by the
rebels an Union camp at Mud Creek, and
their defeat. In the absence Of positive
information, we suppose that the locality is
at Big Muddy Caeek, which cmpties into
Green river about thirty miles northwes;
of Bowling Green, and that the camp was
there to defend the locks on Green river
The effect of thus fight and success is rally
ing the Union men, who are coming in with
their hunting rifles aud shotguns. The ac-
counts from other parts of Kentucky are
that the military spirit is becoming aroused
and the Union men more determined.
A dispatch 10 the Gasctte from Lexington,
KY, dated Sept. Goth, states that the Ohio
l4th arrived that evening on their way to
some point below, probably to intercept
Humphrey Marshall and his forces. They
were received by an immense crowd who
chccrcd tho soldiers along their passage
through the town.
The Governor will probably send in SOW
crol important bills with his approval, and
the Legislature, after passing some impor-
tant measures, will adjourn about Wednes-
day next. The feeling against the traitor
Buckuer increases daily. and strong mill
tary spirit begins TO exhibit itself The fed
eral camp, Dick Robinson, at Swartsville.
is said to be threatened by large rebel
force approaching from tee South.
1t seems that the surrender Of Lexington
to the rebels has emboldened them to pro-
| ceei further northward. Thor destination
| is supposed to be st. Joe. We sincerely
hope that adequate measures will be speed
| ly taken to drive those maraudlrS from Mis-
| souri, Prices pathway is marked by II
continuous scene of dcsolation and rapine
that would disgrace the war trail on the
| Camanches. 1t seems to be certain that a
great battle is on the tapis between the fast
accommodating forces of Fremont and Price.
A few struggling members of Claib Jack
sons bogus Legislature convened in some
bar-room, perhaps, in Lexington, aud passed
an ordinance of secession. And this act
will, doubtless, be So5erly () received by
the thieving Confedcrates as sufficient to
remove Missouri out of the United States
and into the Southern Conrederacy.
The Governor of Kansas has ordered the
enrolment of ali men between the age of Is
and 40 into companies, aud the companies
are ordered to hold themselves in readiness
for marching.
Our latest advices confirm the report that
the rebels are unmasking their batteries on
the Potomac, and have now tho control of
the river. What course the government
will adopt in this emergency remains to be
revealed. But that this obstruction can re-
main for any length of time, is entirely out
of the question. And, from latest accounts,
it seems doubtful whether our water craft
can be brought to bear in force sufficient to
dislodgc the rebel forces. If such be the
case, land force must be added; and this
may have the effect of bringing on general
engagement Of the armies of the Potomac.
