confined in Jail. Says the Memphis
Avalanche:
"Mr. Barr, while agent for the

his denunciations of Lincoln and his
acts, and his fate might have been an

however, to send his family South

Curious Historical F,act.-The Evans
ansville (Ind.) .Joaeamolis informed by
Judge Law, that in searching among
the archives of Indiana, he has found
sound some old documents, Stain.
that soon after the aquisition of Lou
isana, the Governor and Judges Of
Indiana, who then composed the Leg
'islativepowers Of the Territory, were,
by special act of Congress, authori-
zed and directed to frame a code OF
laws on the then newly acquired Ter.
ritory of Louisiana; and in obedi-
ence to this anomalous act OF
Congress, the Legislative Council OF
the Territory of Indiana, went to
work and drew up, and passed, and
the Governor approved, a code OF
laws for the large and distant Terri
tory of Louisiana, extending from
the confines Of Minnesota to the
Gulf, and in those laws were embr;i-
ced one of the most stringent slave
codes that has ever been enacted ;!pei-
haps the very code, now in force in
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
By this it will appear that a slave
code, by and with the authority and
consent Of Congress, was enacted
and in force for the whole Territory
then West of the Miss, up to its
most Northern boundry. This would
serve to show that at that early day,
Congress did not understand the. on
dinance of 1877 as applicable to fs.r
tue acquisitions.

ting all kinds of depredations in that
portion Of the State. They have
about FIVE regiments at or;near Malbo-
rough's Hill, and about 5000 Home
Guards at and near camp Dick Rob-
inson. But few Kentuckians are en-
listing. Nearly all the troops are
from Ohio and Indiana.
Advices from Green river to day
state that after a meeting held in
Louisville by General Anderson, G.
w. Anderson telegraphed Gov. Den
nison, Of Ohio, to send him immedi-
ately all companies aud parts Of COM
panies, no matter how small.
Col. Preston is said to he in Nor
gan county, calling on the Southern
men north Of kentucky river to join
his camp. The people in upper Ken
lucky are greatly encouraged by the
advance Of Confederate friends into
that State.
A fight is reported to have occur
ed at Muddy Fork river. No par

DIR. johnson says a boy sixteen
years of age, was shot in Frankfort
for cheering for jeff. Davis. The
murderer was not arrested
Later from the Muddy Fork Fight.
Two regiments Of federals under
Col. Hawkins and Nc Henry, retrea-
ted from Muddy Fork river to Owens
boro, and passed over the Ohio to
Evansville. From this it would
seem that the Hessi,ns at Muddy
Fork have been driven from the
State, and we doubt not the whole
tribe will be served in similar man
ner.
Memphis, Sept. 26.-Gentlemen
just arrived from Shelby county,
commanded by Humphrey Marshall.
The whole country Is IN a blaze
of excitement. State Guards, with
arms, are joining Marstall.
4 reign Of terror is existing at

ance; and to augment all the difficulties which
are to be overcome before peace is restored to the
country.
We hail with joy this evidence, that the Gov
ernment is determined to use it's available re-
sources to extinguish this rebellion and that it
is not to be content hereafter to set 5000 men
against % 600, or $4,000 against 100000 in
the stricken fields of battle, but that it is dis
posed to go forth in its strength, and with the
terrible might of its immense resources to crush
the giant Rebellion.
And now let the people of the whole Country,
and especially Of Vermont, respond to this call
of the Government, in the spirit of the emf
nent Banker who, when asked why his bank
had taken so largely of the National loan, re-
piled, 4" If the Government prevail in the con-
test the investment will be good one, and If it
fail neither banks nor anything else will be of
any value" Everything that good Govern
nent secures to its subjects life, liberty, the
enjoyment of property, and the pursuit of hap
piness,-is saked upon this contest and if the
Government fail, all is lost. Then let us &C
cept the issue, and give our whole strength, oar
undivided attention, our entire resources to the
prosecution Of this war. Let US make it the
business of the Country, the one absorbing
question to the successful solution of which we
devote our mental, moral, physical and material
resources. If we prevail, free government, lib
erty in obedience to law, property and life are
safe in the Republic for generations to come
If we fail we become onlya Kissing, q by word
a reproach among men, fit only to be the hew-
crs of wood, the drawers Of water, tn. meanest
servants and slaves to Southern task masters
Shall it be written Of us in after times that
20, 900, 900 of freomcn, with material resources
incalculable, ANONYMOUSLY lost the priceless in

and treasure of 300O,00O1 And shall Yer

WAsHINGToN, August q

WASHINGTON, August o.
The Postmaster General, in response to an
inquiry, says he has neither the power to inter
diet nor to suspend intercourse between loyal
and rebellious States by private Expresses CT
otherwise. This power rests with the War and
Treasury Departments alone, and 50 long as
these iorbear to exercise it, tho correspondence
between the insurgents at the South. and their
friends and abettors at the North, may be law
fully continued. He concludes by saying that
under the recent proclamation of the President
it is presumed that instructions by the Treasury
and War Department will etfectually suppress
the abuse complained of.
The continued alarms about the designs Of
the insurgents against the Capital are declared
by gentlemen in high quarters to be fabrications
of Secessionists. Opinions however are divided
on the subject. Whatever may be the truth
respecting it, the Administration wants 10
reinforce, and be ready for active operations,
Dispatches have been received at Headquarters.

There is intelligence from "a reliable source

Energetic Action.

The orders just issued by the authorities at
Washington to hurry forward to the seat of war
all soldiers as fast as possible, without waiting
for slow Colonel to fill his regiment, or a slow
recruiting officer to complete the muster-roll of
his company even, are significant and important.
We do not share, however, in the alarm, caused
by these eff>rts of the Government, for the
safety Of Washington, nor do we believe that
the Rebels have any purpose in Eastern Virginia
of commencing offensive operations on very
large scale They will doubtless carry on a har
RAISING war as heretofore by skirmshing and
guerrilla parties, occasionally making a demon
strltlon in sone force; but they are by far too
cautious and rely too much upon their defensive
wosks TO risk the cause Of Secession upon des-
porA,e attack upon Federal troops, behind en-
,ren3hments, and in positions chosen by them
selves.
Although this activity of the Government
may comprehend in its scope the perfect defence
OF the National Capital, we think it means Of
sonsye full as much as defensive operations-
The latter is included in the former and Gen.
Scott, of course, by making effective prepare,
tons 10 commence again Il vigorous offensive
campaign against the Rebels in Virginia, is at
the same time taking the most effective steps for
the defence of the National Metropolis.
There is no doubt that the results Of the late
encounter with the Rebels have taught our
rulers, that they must have many more troopsin
the field before they can hope to meet the enemy
with any decisively hopeful issue to the engage
lncnt An army of 100000 effective men is
not too many for vigorous prosecution of the
war, aud however the men in power may at
tempt to get along with a less force, they will
be compelled to come to that at last. The
Rebels Will have that number of men in the
field, and with the advantage of being in a
friendly country, while our troops will be ad-
vancing through hostile territory, they cannot
be subdued with q force inferior to their own in
numbers. Edward Everett has just SAID, in no
spirit of fault finding but only to justify the
most magnificent preparations
Alta time when the population Of the United
States did not exceed four and half millions.
Gen. WASHINGTON called out 10000 troops to
suppress an instruction in the western counties
OF Pcnnsy Ivania Our population is now
so 900 600 and the instruction has assumed the
dimensions of a civil war. The only reasonable
objection TO the military preparations of the u

gigantic scale, 2chich wisdom and hunaaaity alike
dictate, as the only means of bringing the
'aaaepicious; coAfict to specify close. TO let it
