are al work among the regiments disafected by
lawyers and Democratic politicians, in regard to
their alleged three months enlistment" These
influences were more necessary than the friends
Of the misguided troops dream of. Dry Tortugas
msysoO cease to be the punishment Of mutiny,
and the painful necessity of shooting the crimi-
nals forced on the Government. The arm of the
Government is lorg, too. IL can reach cOnspira-
tors against the army whether they are in Buff
falO or Maine.
THE REBELS WITHDRAWING.
The War Department has information which
leads to the belief that the Rebels have with
drawn mile beyond Fairfax Court House,
leaving only pickets in the village. The move
ment was made with such precipitation-it is
said some Of the sick died on the way-as to
lead some to infer fright as the cause. More
probably it was intended either to lure us with
IA some ambuscade, or, preliminary to con-
centration Of their forces on other points.

bad DO idea that there would be an attack.

TIE UNION MEN OF KENTUCKY AWAKE.
We learn by private adyices from Kentucky that
Union men are rapidly receiving arms, aud organ
izing -Four or five regiments ready, and it is
believed that in few days 20 coo loyal citizens OF
Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee, from which lun-
dreds Of fugityes are prepared to fight their way
back will be in line. Ihe legislature, which meets
on MOaday week, VIII probably put an end to the
pemicious doctrine OF neutrali in respect Ofwhich
Inc people are ial ahead OF Their leaders, by declar-
ing the right Of the general Government TO march
troops through the state, and by deposing Magoiin,
and inviting Breckinridge and Powell to resign.
THE SEw STATE OF VIRGINIA.
The meaning OF the determination Of the Wheel
ing Convention to submit the question Of forming
Western Virginia into new State is that the
people there are determined to 20 with the North
in any event IT, by the end of October the
Union armies have so far triumphed as 10 render
tie subiugsticn of the South a certainty. they
will vote to retain the Old name and the boun.
dsries Of the Old Domiaion-Otlerwise Kanawha
Will stand ready to be one of the United States.
MORE INsIIORDiSATION.
Just as the clemency OF Government had been
successfully invoked in behalf the I'd Maine men and
sae mutineers Of the 18th, the Eye Buffalo Reg
inent must, by an act Of mischietous folly, make
mercy 10 mutiny 10 longer possible. Last night
~ Of the New-York 2lst, stationed at Fort
EaoyOn, were taken TO tao yard, with an order
from Gen. Mcdowell, accompanying the list oi
names ooRsiguing them TO the Dry TOrtugas for
labor on military works. Their names are:
