You may look oft for stirring events with

ris' I'd Ohio Is tonight near HazIegreen,
: Wolfe county and part of L, B. Grugsby's
Kentucky regiment is the advance guard Of
Gen. w. Nel.on's command. Col. Norton's
33d Oaio, and one other Ohio regiment,
passed through Mt. Sterling Saturday last.

the same place on the 2lst. Yesterday
earlys Col. Metcalfe's Kentucky regiment
(son of the old Stone Hammer) passed at
noon the same point; Col Charles Marshsl's
Kentucky regiment, to-day at noon, all
seeming in great haste, travelling about
twenty miles, per day. Tonight all but the
latter regiment viii be in or near Haz1e
green, and about forty miles from Prestons-
burg, and l expect by this day week We
shall hear of fight or foot-race. Gen.
Nelson is the right man in the right place.
~ give it as an individual opinion, when
our army reaches Prestonsburg, which is
eighty miles distant from Mt. Sterling, the
valiant refugees will be non est. They are
poorly armed, and a wild, reckless set of
misguided, deluded adventurers; portion
OF them are largely interested in the mule
trade, have debts due them South. and think
this Is the only way TO get their debts paid
I've some experience in this line, and see no
hope in the future but-in the entire crushing
out OF this internal rebellion, no matter
about cost of men or money. If the leaders
are lot made to suffer for it, similar scenes
will be enacted every four year.; and now
that they have .inaugurated war for the de-
feat of an aspirant for Presidential honors,
let the full force of the Government be used
to suppress it. Let us STE if there is no
Union, as We frequently hear from cross

peradoes as Breckenridge, SBuckner, Will

Kentuckians,a the sooner we know the fact
the better. The Union men of Kentucky

warrage to such q degree as has not been
seen since the Indians were driven out of
Kentucky. They are in our midst, and
what is to be done with them? They are
secretly aiding and abettiug, carrying news
back and forth through the moun aims to
our enemies, and frequently insinuate them
selves into Union mems company. Tearing
all they can, and sending runners off with
such items as they think will benefit their
allies. - las-i'.9asqtE! = 7aReq
The news to- night by the stage driver is
that Andy johnson came from Lexington to
Paris on the railroad, and that Col Garrard
and Zollicof ers command have had a fight,
in which the latter were routed and proba-
bly, all bagged, which hope is true. Then
this being followed up, giving US the Cum
berland Gap, victory will follow everywhere.
Thirty five miles from this point win give us
the Knoxville and East Tennessee Railroad
This is the point for every troop now that
can be spared to be sent to. 1t is within
fifty miles of Andrew cJohnson's home

if this monster is to be crushed out. Delays
are dangerous. q 49,. -'.--t
