ArrA1Fs At THE NoRruv Esr.--A dispatch
from Louisville, Ky, contains the following
items:
1t is supposed that Col. Anderson came to
Kentucky officially, but alone, and will prob
ably endeavor to swear in the Home Guard, or
accustoming kentuckians to the sight Of Fed
eral buttons, and gradually bring the State in
the condition of Missouri.
1t is rumored that the Nashville Railroad
will be embargoed in which event the Tannes-
: cans say they will consider kentucky's neu-
trality violated, and will advance (on Ken
tucky?) The Union and Southern Rights men
of Kentucky, however seem determined to re-
pei aggression from either side, and the Ten
ncsseans will gain thousands of supporters by
waiting.
The Marion Rifles, an intensely Union corps,
have refused by a majority of0ne, to be sworn
into the Home Guard.
The n. Y. Times, received here by mail, has
bitter article on the attitude of England and
France. 1t says: "Without circumlocation
it is plain they will formally acknowledge the
independence Of the Confederate States"

LETTER FROM ONO The following is an eX-
tract of letter written by a gentleman Of
Tiffin, Ohio, to his cousin a lady residing in
Lewisburg Grecnbrier county, Virginia. Its
perusal has afforded US very great pleasure,
and would seem to justify the hope that there
are vet remaining in the Northern States more
good men than were found by the Lord in
Sodom at the departure of Lot from that i'll
fated city:
81 am pained my dear cousin to think you
should form such poor opinion of me, as to
think that | should be recreant to the princi-
pies of right and justice, which | have always
fought for, and to which | have steadfastly ad-
hercd in defiance of infuriated mobs thirst
ing for my hearts blood. For two weeks my
life was in my hand, but, thank God | had
manhood enough to proudly maintain my po-
sition, and boldly proclaim my sympathies.-
Not one Of the miserable scoundrels dared
raise finger to my injury, but like a set of
cowardly ours, that they were, stood at a dis
tance and growlcd at me. They dared not
even face me, but sent their pimps to me with
threats The excitement has since died ou',
and for the past week. it has been comparative
ly quiet The true men-the men who are op-
posed to this damnable war-can now be heard.
You are in error, when you think we all belong
to the Abolition horde. The majority of those
who pretended to be in favor of giving the
South her constitutional rights, have deserted
us but we do not give up. Enough are left
to form nucleus for great party, which will
sweep this country like a whirlwind.
-'Candldly, do not think the Ad1ninistra-
ton will prosecute this war. In my opinion,
they are but playing part from force of cir
cumstances. Popular sentiment is urging it
on. In my heart, l believe the independence
of the Confederate States will be acknowledged
within SIX months. Certain it is, that there
can be nothing gained by war.
! "a resolution has passed in our State Sen
ate to the effect, that Ohio will furnish no
| troops for war of insurrection and oppression

TIE CHARGE OF FREMoNT's BODY GUARD.
Some time ago, we had brief telegraph
10 report of a desperate charge made by
Fremonps body guard; but no particulars
of time or place were given. BY late ac-
counts it appears the affair occurred at
Springfield, on the evening Of October 25th
One hundred aud fifty of the guard, under
command of Maj Zagouyi, made a dash
into the town, drove out some 1000 rebel
troops, released the Federal prisoners who
had been confined there since the Wilson
Greek battle, and then retired. The guard
lost fifteen Of their number, and many rebels
were killed. The latter were commanded
by Col. Pierce.

ARCTIC ExPLoRERs.-The Scientific Anne
rican, referring to the return Of DR.. Hayes and
his companions, says it hopes this will be the
last expedition ever fitted out for the dangerous
and uninhabitable frozen regions of the Arctic
Circle, and adds:
There is still another American IN the north
ern regions respecting whose fate much anxiety
il felt. About the time the Hayes expedition
started. Mr.. Hall went out in the whaling ship
GEORGE Henry, of New Bedford, on an explor-
ing tour, he having formed the notion that ne
could adapt himself to the habits of the Esqul-
maux, and thus spend years among that people
in pursuing his investigations by land in the
Arctic wilds. Concluding that some Of Sir John
Franklin's party were still alive, he decided to
make the attempt to discover their location
and aid them, if posaible, in their return. He
was to leave the George Henry at Cumberland
Inlet, intending after that to live entirely as
the Esouimaux do using the dog-sled and an
ice-boat, which he took with him, in journeying
over the ice and open water, He intended to
winter near Cumberland Inlet, and pursue his
Journey in the early spring. He spoke with no
certainty as to the period Of his return, and
stated that no alarm should be felt if he should
not be back for five years. No information has
been received of the ship George Henry since
October, 1860; she is expected back next De-
cember.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-11-19
The Battle Near Lsesburg.

By the overland mail we have received
some further particulars Of the battle near
Leesburg, in which Col. Baker was killed.
There has been considerable doubt, from
the accounts received by telegraph, whether
one battle, or three, or four, had been
fought in that neighborhood, aud we have
not even yet, any reliable Information as TO
whether the Federals still retain their po-
sition on the Virginia side of the Potomac.
It appears, however, that there was only
one battle, in which the California regiment
ard portions OF the Massachusetts, 18th and
of the New York Tammany regiments,
numbering, in all, about 1880 men, TOOK
part. This force bad been sent forward,
under command OF Col. Baker, to recon-
noiter in the direction Of Leesburg. They
we're attacked about five o'clock in the af-
ternoon by superior force Of rebels, 10
front and on both Hanks. The engagement
was short and bloody, aud after Col. Baker 8
ueatn tue OuCeI ielt III SVmm""N 6~'N w
order to retreat to the river bank, where
they could be supported by Gen. Stone and
that portion of the army that had by that
time effected a crossing. Temporary works
were thrown up on the river bank, to pro-
tect the crossing, and it is certain they re-
tanned their position on the Virginia side
that night and the next day. aud we have
had no Intelligence OF their having recrossed
into Maryland. The Federal loss in killed
and wounded is stated at one hundred and
seventy. FIVE, and four hundred were taken
prisoners The battle took place on the
2lst of October, aud Gen. Stones official
report, which Of course gives the exact loss,
was published week or ten days later.

PENNSYLVANIA ELEorIoM-The late cleo
ton In Pennsylvania was for Representa-
tives In the Legislature, part of the Senate,
and local officers. The Marysville Express
is informed by an exchange that tie Legis-
lasure Is thus politically divided: House
Democrats, So; Republicans, AZ, Senate
Democrats, 10; Republicans, %. The 81
Louis correspondent of the Union, in his
letter of October 26th, says the Republicans
have small majority In the House. The
soldiers in the Federal armies were entitled
to vote as II Of home, and according TO the
New York Tribune the returns from the
camps showed small majority for the Re-
publican, or Peoples" party. So far as
known, no Secessionists, or "Peuce" mem
bers we're elected to either branch Of the
Legislature.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-11-19

FUsEoN.-The Sacramento Bee favors o
fusion of all Union men in the election OF
officers of the two houses of the Legislature,
aud the Transcript, in some remarks there
on, opposes the proposition. because some
Union Democrats are in the habit of speak
ing dsrespeotfully Of the President, and
other equally "sound" reasons. II isnot
reasonable to suppose that recent converts
to the Republican ALPHABETICALLY those
whose conversion was Influenced by hopes
OF fat ofices-will tolerate any more Access
sious to the party. or favor any arrange
meut likely to divide the spOils.
