THE CHAPLAlNCY OF THE CAMERON DRAGONS.
1t appears that the officers of the Cameron
Dragons are generally, If not altogether, Jews,
while large proportion Of the rank and file
are of the same religion. They desire chap
lain of their own faith and have opened a cor
respondence on the subject. The following is
the reply of the Secretary Of War:

A BRILLIANT LITTLE FIGHT IN KENTUCKY.

Letters in the Cincinnati Gazette describe
brilliant affair at West Liberty on October 23,
between the Second Ohio regiment and 500

only after loss of thirty killed and thirteen
wounded. The national forces had only one
man wounded On Oct "a, Major Buckner, at
Winchester, learned that forty or fifty mounted
rebels were on their way to the rebel camp at
Prestonburgb. Hastily collecting "a men ouly,

were victorious, killing two of their opponents
and recap.uring some prisoners whom they had
taken.

that Gen. Fremont will return them to their

A Tribune correspondent, at Camp Cairo, ILL.,
nois, writing under date of October 26, says:
A "contraband" came into Camp Holt, on
the Kentucky shore, last night, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: 1t seems that the slave
holders both Of Kentucky and Missouri, are
rapidly disposing Of their negroes to Sou hern
tralers, and any one sees that II this practice Is
long continued there will be little carse for
difficulty in these States. This negro, learning
that he was sold and that this morni, & he was
to start for "Alabam," by the directions of a
friend. came to the camp fires Of our teamsters,
and on being hailed, said he was Union man,
when they took him in. The friend referred to
is widow woman living In Blandville, twenty
miles distant, who, on account OF her princi-
pps, has suffered all sorts Of insults, and has
been repeatedly robbed, and Is now about to
be driven from her home, where she has long
lived comfortably, but. With a defiant spirit,
sha conferred secretly Win tnls negro, anu Ie
escaped.
w., to this date, many slaves-but do moi
know how many.-have come TO nur several
camps There has been no settled policy pur.
sued concerning them. In many cases. they
have been given up to their masters, though
well known to he secessionists, while, IN Other
cGaes, If the slaves were young and smart, the
soldiers or officers kept them for their own use
but after while they disappeared, l cannot
tell whittier.
This writer says he has taken pains to talk tc
many soldiers on the subject of slavery. as con
nected with the present crisis, and although
their views are various, they uniformly unite II
the expression that this Government is worti
more than all the negroes that ever did or eve
will live" and that if slavery stands in the wa.
of the preservation of the Union, that 1t mus
