From The outhrle Grave


We have been kindly permitted to publish
the following abstract from private letter,
from member Of Company d, Sixth Ohio
Regiment;
CAMP HASKELL, December 15, 1861.
We have jdst finished a very pleasant
march of about seventy miles, occupying four
days and a half. We journeyed over
smooth, level road, compared with those in
Western Virginia. Our first days march
used the boys pretty badly, not because Of
its length, for we have made longer marches
in Virginia in one day, but on account of TIE
jubilee we engsged in at Louisville. We
were not prepared for il, and consequently
we felt rather tired and worn out.
Before starting on the second days march
Colonel Bosley came to us and informed US
we were TO take the advance position in the
brigade. The boys received the news with
shouts, which made the old hills and valleys
Of the dark and bloody ground echo our
gladness far and wide.
"Do or die" was the word when we
started, and after marching for an hour or
20 the General rode up to the front Of the
brigade and wanted to know il we enter
tsined the idea that we were advancing on
Washington from Bull Run" Our Colonel
replied by informing him that the boys had
only commenced their days work, and II be
would wait about an hour longer we would
be in good marching condition. The Cen
eral, Nelson, complimented us by saying We
were the finest regiment in his division. He
said we should have the first position Of
honor, the right of the division; so you will
see the "Guthries" will have chance to re-
deem themselves. From rumor Judge we
will soon be engaged in fight and if so you
may depend we will remember the honor oi
our homes. ..-r
Our division is the fourth, under command
Of General Nelson, and General Haskell com
manding our brigade, which comprises the
Forty-6rst, Fifty first and Sixth Ohio
and Fifteenth and Seventeenth Indiana

ARRIVAL OF THE ALLEN CoLLIER-REBELs AT
CATLETTsBURa- OF JENKINS -
The steamer Allen Collier, Captain johnson,
arrived at our landing yesterday afternoon
about one o'clock, considerably bsbind her
usual time. She left Charleston, on the X ana
wha, on Sunday evening last, with quite q
number of officers on board, bound for this
city, among whom was Captain Joseph NJ
BlnndeII, Of the First Kentucky Regiment
These officers report that on Sunday last
rebels numbering between Q, 900 and 1000 az.
tackled q party Of 800 Federal troops, and
drove them out Of Catlsttsburg, ana also that
they were gathering in great force in the same
region Of country recently vacated by the Fed
eral troops. Major Jenkins-the notorious
and Captain Clarkson the desperate-his
right hand man, had been committing sons
deprtdations in the region Of 0wipgsville and
Mount Sterling, and were even threatening an
advance on Maysville. With the aid Of the
Forty. second Ohio Regiment, that went up the
river on Monday morning, our troops will be
enabled to drive the rebels back from Catletts-
burg, and hold them in check until they are
reinforced by Jenkins.
Colonel Guthrie still remains at the Kama
wha House, in Charleston, too i'll to be Of SER
vice in the field, though it is more than proba-
BILE that he would resume his duties with his
regiment IL called upon.
The Kanawha has declined to such stage Of
water, Captain johnson says, that it has be-
come very difficult for even the ligbtest class
Of boats to 20 above Charleston.
The Allen Collier will leave for the Kama.
whs and Charleston this afternoon at Eve
o'clock.

ELLET, G. e ON MoCLELLAN.--Our Wash
ington correspondent refers to and analyses a
recent pamphlet in criticism of General Nc
Clellan, put forth and widely circulated among
Washington officials. Mr.. Elet is not infai-
ible. 1t will be remembered that some yesrs
since he got into controversy with the Read
ing (Pa Railroad Company, in which he uu-
derteok TO demonstrate that that railroad could
not carry 800, 900 tuns of coal without such a
DISTINCTION Of the rails as would soon wear
them out. Fortunately for Philadelphia and
the whole railroad interest, his premises and
conclusions were alike erroneous.
When General Mcclellan thrAshes the rebels
at Manassas, Mr.. Enet, @. B., will have an
other LaIdner like blunder to put down on the
debit side of his private diary.-N. Y. World.

LIFE AT THE CAPITAL According to the
Washington correspondent of the New York
EOening Post, gsyety prevails at the Naional
Capital this winter:
One of the most striking features of life here
is the utter carelessness and insouciance of
every one. From Mrs. Lincoln, driving in her
gSudy coach, and Mr.. LincoIp, amusing him
self with Herrmann's feats of "prestidigia-
tiop," down to the young officers dancing
gsily at the balls, every one seems to con-
slider the present time one especially created
for amusement. There is not tho slightes. SO
riousness any where that have been able to
discover-it is all fun. Aud any one who looks
or speaks earnestly of the critical condition of
affairs is regarded as a bore by all but some
of the few older heads. One would think all
tho "fast" boys of the country had come to
Washington, for none of the m en- here seem to
care for much else but jOllity. The streets are
throDged with officers and privates, all intent
on amusement, and dsshing young cavalry
men clank their swords and jingle their spurs
in dancing rooms rs we'll as bar rooms. The
mourDful faces are all at the homes that the
war has made desolate.,

UECIvILIzED WARFARE One of the most
atrociOus ac's ever committed by civilized
power was the employ ment by Great Britain OF
Indians in the Revolutionary War. Not only
our people, but even her own, regarded it as a
black spot upon her national honor. Yet the
horrors Of Indian warfare are slight compared
to those which would be inflicted upon the
country by arming the negroes. Let it be done
and the United States will be ranked with Tur-
key and Naples. The tympathy of the civilized
world will be unequivocaIly with the rebels, and
Thousands of men now loyal to the North would
resolutsly refuse to aid a government which
could be guilty Cf such Chicago Times.
