Letter from Louisville.
LOUISVILLE. June z. '6I

LOUISVILLE, June z, '6l.
Editors Union and American:
The threatened embargo on the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad, is creating no little excitement
and indignation here. Rest assured, it is move
ment, which if attempted, as now expected by the
collector Mr.. CoTToN, viii meet with prompt resist
ance from the citizens of all classes, not only of
Louisville, but of Kentucky. The feeling in this
place towards LINCorN's Government is rapidly as.
suming most unfriendly attitude. Kentucky blood
is getting hot the idea of Louisville being placed
10 the condition of ST Louis and Baltimore, is not
pleasant to but very small portion of the inhabit-
ants here. The idea of Kentucky soil being invaded,
is not endurable; and since the news of the action
of Col. PRENTIss, in Sending Cairo troops to the
Kentucky shore. has reached here, a deei feeling
is aroused beth on the part of former aeutrqlists
and old " secessiOnSts' But one sentiment is fast
gaining ground, that the Federal Government is
offering indignities to Kentucky which she cannot
and win not submit to- No enc believes, OF can be
made TO believe, that Tennessee has any hostile in>
tention towards Kentucky, however close to her
borders Tennessee may quarter her troops; and it
well known that all reports of such hostile
intentions, threatened invasion, are but to form
pretext for the LINCOLN Government to invade
Kentucky and trample upon her rights. You may
look for general uprising in Kentucky against the
Government, unless its policy towards her shall be
materially changed, and that too very soon. Con-
siderable dissatisfaction exists here about the re-
cent organization of the Home Guards. The cIti-
zens of Louisville feel that they have just cause to
complain of the treachery practiced on them by
WOODRUFF and ROUSSEAU, and the City Council, in
receiving arms from LINCOLN, and distributing them
among the Home Guard. which has driven from it
all States righta men, and left it composed Of Fed
eral tools What can be done for their selfprotec-
ton is difficult to determine; but certain it is
that affairs cannot remain they are, much longer.
Louisville will know soon, where she stands.
The addresses issued by the Border State Con-
vention do not seem to create any but an unsatis-
factory impression.
Yours. respectfully, c. r.

NoRFoLK, June There was no fight Yesterday
at Newport News. The enemy are said to be build
ing many fat boats, presumed 20 be with view of
attacking us soon, in force.
The Harriet Lane was yesterday sounding. be>
tween Pigs Point and Caney Island. Everything
here remaiRs as usual.
NORFOLK June 5, u ma detachment Of our men
about 9 a. m, had just begun to throw up bat
terry, two miles east of Pigs Point Battery, when
the steamer Harriet Lane opened fire on them IN
protected as they were by any earth works, our
brave troops. with but one sixpounder rihed can.
non. succeeded in driving of the steamer. Pigs
Point Battery also opened on the steamer, but the
distance was too great, and the shots from that
point did not reach her. This is perfectly reliable
SIX o'cLock, rssM-My dispatch sent at noon to-
day was based on the report Of volunteer, who
was an eye witness of the whole affair at the dis
lance Of two miles Since then an official report
has arrived from Pigs Point Battery. which battery
sustained the brunt OF the enemys fire. and had one
of its guns disabled The shots of this battery it
appears did reach the Harriet Lane, and there can
be very little doubt that she was badly hulled for
after the close of the action she drew off to the
neighborheod of Fortress Monroe, and sent another
steamer to take her usual bIockading position at
Newport News. The enemy, up to this time, has not
recommended the attack upon the battery.

Important from western virginia.


GRAFTON, Va, June 6.-The movement on Phillip
p last night, caused bya report that the rebels
were gathering at Beverly, with reinforcements
and artillery, and were going to attack Phllippi
Eight hundred of our forces, under Capt. Benham,
marched all night and entered the place at day
break
They found every thing quiet Scouts are out
looking for the enemy; but attack is now appre-
hended. 1t is supposed the rebels are utterly dis
couraged and that no considerable body is in West
ern Virginia now. Fifteen dead. were found
in thcket at Phillippi, into which the Indianisns
had discharged MIME rifles after the fight of the
rebels. 1t is supposed many more were killed or
seriously wounded.
1t is now known that the rebels expected an at
tack on Sunday night and had an ambush capitally
prepared. Gen. Morris scouts were, however, too
many for them.
All sorts of wild reports through the country are
picked up and sent off by certain correspondents,
such as that there was severe fight at Phlllippi
today, and five hundred killed. All these are ut
terly unfounded.
The secessionists think there are about twenty
thousand troops here. Nobody seems to make it
his duty to correct this report Gen. Morris is at
Phillippi to day. lie will be back this evening All
quiet there.
Col. Kelley continues to improve. The ball was
not extracted as reported.
Great excitement is reported at Wheeling over
Loring's arrest. No examination yet.
Many Virginians were brought in to take the
oath of allegiance to-day. Several among them had
voted the secession ticket. Nothing but Union
feeling now. The road is clear down to Cumber-
land.
There is report that four hundred rebels intend
attacking our troops at the Cheat river bridge 25
miles east of Grafton tonight. Arrangements have
been made to counterfeit any such movement, but
the report is supposed to be exaggerated.

Capture and a Rescue in the North.west.

Last week when the Federal barbarians made
their way into the North and took possession
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and all the
towns along it far east Grafton they succeeded
in capturing at Pruntytown, near Grafton, James
Neeson, Esq, the able and talented Senator from
Marion. Mr.. Neeson, with several other gentlemen
from Fairmont and that neighborhood, was making
his way to our forces. and was surprised and cap
tured as above stated by band of rufians, who
held him in custody with guard Of about fifty of
their gang. The party who accompanied Mr.. Nee
son made their escape to Phillpp where our forces
were stationed, and gave information of the arrest
of their friend and fellow-citizen; and party of
fifty Of the Augusta cavalry troop Immediately set
out for Pruntytown, a distance of about fifteen
miles. They reached the town about daylight, and
Immediately proceeded to rescue Mr. Reeson, which
they soon accomplished, no resistance was made,
and as retaliation for this outrage made an active
search for BuFdett, the traitorous member Of the
Convention from Taylor county. Burdett had. how
and, our informant says, came near capturing him
as he entered that town. If he had been captured,
it is doubtful whether they would have wasted any
force in guarding him.
Our informant says there are only about one
hundred and eighty Federal troops in Clarksburg
and as he passed Phillippi our troops were prepar
ing to proceed to that place and capture them and
if any resistance should be made either by the Fed
era troops or the citizens it was their intention to
We have no doubt Grafton will soon be retaken BY
our troops; and if there is any difficulty in holdns
it. it should be burned at for it Is principally
inhabited by the employees of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, all of whom are believed
to be traitors TO the State and to the South. We
anticipate good news from that section in short
time. Richmond Enquirer, June s.

Letter from Richmnnd.

RICHMOND June l, 1861.
The sick Tennessean, Mr.. John Rogan, mot Logan
as it was written,) is much better. He occupies
the Mayors private bed chamber, and is nursed by
his daughter.
The First Tennessee Regiment Col. Turneys is
still here. One member died, and several have
measles. none very serious. Its surgeon is DR..
Wallace Estil, aged 6S is hale and hearty, and well
known as one of the best physicians in our State.
Alexandria and Hampton women, white and
black, were ravished by the invaders, in one IN
stance, little girl was the victim. Does not the
blood curdle at such cruel atrocIty? enclose
case in point OF beauty and booty: how horrible Is
war The talk here is no quarter TO such devils
in human shape.
Great excitement has been produced u Old
Point by an outrage porpetrated by government
soldiers on Saturday lsst. 1t appears that party
of them had gone to a gentlemans house near by
and assaulted s young lady, some sixteen years of
age. with the design to outrage her person. Her
father, an aged man, came to her assistance, when
these tends seized him and threatened his life if he
raised an alarm: and with revolver pointed st
his head. he was forced to witness the eonsumma-
ton of their Vlainous purpose upon the person OF
his child. Gen Butter was engaged yesterday after
noon in examining into the case, but the result had
net transpired when the steamer left. Constant
complaints are being made to the officers there by
persons living in the vicinity, whose lands and
dwellings have been invS by the government
soldiers who steal whatever they fancy from their
houses, and carry off chickens, sheep and hogs,
wherever they can find them"
Most members of the Government are here. Gen.
Beauregard left for Manassas this morning, and
Others go up tomorrow. The surmise is an effort
will be made to stop further incursion of the
enemy at Springfield. Manassas Junction is q miles
from Alexandria, and Manassas Gap, the Gap
through the Cumberland mountain is some &C or 20.
