LouIsyILLE, Sept 24.-Rumors prevail Of the
burning OF the Nashville and Louisville Railroad
at Nolen, fifty four miles south OF here, and that
no Confederate troops are north Of that place.
Our pickets are said to be ten miles'south of
Elizabethtown
Two officers and FIVE privates of Buckners
command were arrested near Elizabethtown by
part of Rosseau's. command and brought here
to day. They are supposed to be spies.
Gen. Anderson has issued his proclamation,
saying no Kentuckian will be arrested, who re-
mains at home attending to his business, who
does not take part BY action or speech against
the General or State Government or does not
hold correspondence with or give aid to our en-.
emies.
The Democrat publishes a letter from s. B.
Buckner to James Guthrie, proposing that Guth.
RE continue the management of the portion of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, under the
influence of forces under Buckners command,
and if declined, Buckner proposes transferring
the rolling stock to such agents as may be ap.
pointed by the counties through which the road
passes.
The report that Lock No. !, on Green river,
was destroyed is untrue, and 1t is doubtful whe.
ther No. 8 is destroyed. Buckners advice to
that effect came too late. The undestroyed
Locks are now guarded by Union forces.
Many Of the Union men of this city are much
disturbed for fear that the Confederates having
nearly consumed the eatables Of the State OF
Virginia will take advantage Of uninterrupted
Railroad communication from Richmond, Va,
to Nolen, KY, and come and devour the eata
bles of Kentucky during the coming autumn.

A PATRIOTIC School MA'An-Miss Lizzie EN-.
erson, young lady whom we have long known
and esteemed as teacher, and who is q credit
to Monroe township, or any other township, has
recently given an exhibition of patriotism which
is alike creditable to her as a teacher and u
high minded patriot. A company of the young
men of the neighborho0d we're to be furnished
with horses, preparatory to thei: enlistment in
the Cavalry service. Many came generously
forward and offered money and horses Among
the rest came Miss Emerson, and proffered q
noble horse, purchased with her own money
earned as a teacher. We commend the exam
pie of this worthy lady to others; and We say
to the young man who rides the horse: bring
honor to the fair donor by doing your duty as a
worthy soldier.-Eaton CO., Register.

MATTERS IN LEXINGTON, KsNrUcKY.-The pity
OF Lexington, Kentucky, is noV completely in
the hands of the Union men. There are now
two thousand Union troops there.
company Of Secessionists, commanded by
Capt. Morgan. attempted to steal away on Fri
day night, to join the Secession army. When
their fight was discovered, they we're pursued by
body Of United States cavalry, aud on Satur.
day they were brought back prisoners.
The Phenix Hotel-where John O. Rreckn.
ridge calls himself at home-is the Secession nest
Of the town. On Friday, as company of Union
men were marching by, some one in the hotel
fred pistol at them. The Union men took
six FOUNDER, planted it on the street bearing up
on the house, informed the proprietor that il the
man who fred the pistol WAS not delivered up,
the building would be destroyed. The culprit
was pointed out, and fed, making his escape,
though several shots were fred after him. Capt.
Buford, Of the Onion men, then informed the Sc.
cessionists about the hotel, that his company had
been grossly insulted by them several times, and
that he would stand it no longer. If there were
any further insults given in that quarter the house
would be demolished. Not one stone should re-
main on another. The secesh promised there
would be an improvement in their manners in
the future.

There can be no installing the last move OF
the Nshoney party in this State. They have
forced Mason off the track, put their odious
platform out of sight, crowded down, for the
time being, their reasonable sympathies and
formed an alliance with the so-called Union
party, agreeing to support two Of the Union
nominees and one Of their own. But they have
not changed in the least. They are none the
less opposed to the War. They are just as Bit
terly opposed to Abraham Lincoln as ever
now CONGRATULATIONS openly. Their plan is to
divide and distract the loyal friends Of the
Union that they now find Themselves unable to
meet at the polls upon Z fair and open issue
After they shall have sown discord and dssen-
sion, then We shall find them ready to bring
forth their old platform and make straight
fight as before. The ticket, Is now announced
for the support of Democrats in the State, is put
forward by the Mshoney party, with its advice
and consent, just as much as though nominated
in open Convention. The peace" Democrats
caucussed upon the matter-concluded to with
draw Mason and USE Merritt and Dewey. II
they can elect them they will certainly do so.-
The Mahoney cat has been rolled in the Union
meal, and Dennis hopes to catch few simple
Republicans. We shall see.
We warn all true and loyal Republicans
and Democrats who are for the Union and
che Constitution without an ''1T" or . but"
and In favor of War until the last armed Rebel
shall be conquered-we warn all such to beware
of this corrupt combination between men pro-
Tossing entirely opposite opinions and senti-
ments. There is no good in it. It does not
mean honesty.
Rally to the support Of the Republican ticket
1t is the only safe and proper course. We ap-
peal to all loyal voters throughout the State,
without caring what are their antecedents-how
they have heretofore voted-to join with us in
giving the Republican nominees an overwhelm-
ing majority. 1t is the only way left whereby
We can discharge our duty to the Government
and the country. 1t is the only way we can
strengthen the hands of Abraham Lincoln by
our votes, and give to him that loyal support
which is justly due him as the Chief Magistrate
Of the Nation, from US, in this hour of peril

statementa in Cardinal Wisemans treatise on The
Connection between Science and Revealed Religion,
