TAIN.-The gunboat R. B. Forbes. sailed from
Boston on the 23l ultimo, for the Potomac,
and on the same night, although the weather
was clear and pleasant, ran aground on a
shoal. The men who boarded the boat, report
that the captain and most Of the Off ,ers were
drunk and unfit for duty. The captain sup.
posed that hillock on the beach was ship
When he went below for the night he left
orders to be called at ten the next day. When
he awoke and found himself aground, he &C
ccptId the services Of the crew Of the first boat
which reached him, and wanted no more help
although he kept mp his firing, The magazine
was open while lights were all about and The
ship striking heavily on the sand. A slight ac

ARMY CuAPLAINS.--Dr. Tyrg is very iudg-
nant upol the late careless system of appoint
ing army chaplains, and remarked in late
speech that many OF them were not religious
men, and evinced great Indifference TO their
duties. He cited case where the Buffalo
newspaper editor could not find in regiment
from that city person to act as army cores
pOndcnt, and therefore procured in il chap
laincy for a dissolute literary individual, who
might write them letters. lie mentioned also
that an immoral reporter for the New York
press had for three months past been acting
chaplain of New York regiment, and was
pleased to announce that the Secretary Of War
decided that no one should be henceforth ap.
pointed who was not minister of the gospel
We are sorry to say that several chaplains
have already shown themselves to be very bad
Christians and that they are not proof against
temptation In this connection. we are re-
minded OF an incident which occurred a few
days ago. A chaplain belonging TO regi
ment in the vicinity Of Washington, and who
was also the postmaster of the regiment, was
known to have robbed the mail, and an officer
went to the encampment to arrest him. As be
approached the good mans tent. he thought he
heard the voice of praycr-ie stopped and lis.
tened and then csutiously looked in, when be
saw the guilty chaplain and a soldier on their
knees. The officer withdrew. and arrested him
the next day in the street.

THE Slru uATloN IN kENTuCKY.--The Lexington
(KyD Observer and Reporter says:
There is no Disgusting the fact that portions
of our S ate arc rendered unsafe for Union
men. In the first district, bordering on the
Tennessee line, Union men are constantly sub
jectcd TO terrible malreatment at the hands of
the seccssioniss. Murders have been perpe
trated, men compelled to flee from their homes.
aud a perfect reign Of terror has been insti
tu,ed. This is the result OF the preponderating
power OF the sc tcpsSionists and their intolerance
to those holding different political sentiments
These are no sensational tales Of the press
they are verified by the testimony of many Of
the most reputable men of that locality who
have themselves suffered persecution for opin-
ions sake; and we have heard the truth of the
statements vOuched for by the Judge of the
circuit court in that district. Hon. r. S. Will
liams. who was in our city Il day or two since.
These evils need prompt correction, ii the peace
of Kentucky is to be preserved
A letter from Lexington. in the fourier of
the 2g,h ult., announces that the secession feel
ins there Is, that unless the President of the
United States disbands The troops in the Gar
rard encampmcnt upon the requirement Of
Governor Magoihn's Commissioners now at
Washington as everybody knows he will not,
the Governor shall at once cali out the State
Guard and dispersr the troops at the point ol
the bayonet. We learn from other sources
that this is the plan of action prescribed for his
Excelcncy. II il is so, and il the State Guard
shall obey The call. the drama of blood will
open very soon.

GENERAL FREMONT.

The star, which came out with column OF
hethy rage. when Congress ordered tie confs
cation of property, Uol,mtarily deuoted BY he
c,cners 10 Me uses Of rebellion, is dissatisfied with
General Fremonts proclamation. OF course.
And il is almost equally matter Of course that
the Stu should suppose that everybody else is
dissatisfied. We hear nothing OF that sort.
The Star objects TO the proclamation as lack.
lug legal precision" which isa queer objection
from commentatory who 50 entirely misundcr-
atsnds the whole thing AZ to assume that the
proclamation was merely intended to carry out
The confScUion act" In truth, il is not found
ed upon that act at all
The ACT OF Congress only conliscates such
property as may be, by the owner, specifically
devoted 10 the uses of the rebellion. The
proclamation threatens traitors with the con-
ii.caton OF all their property, whether specially
used for rcbellious purposes or not. 1t is under
martial law, and not under this or any other
act of Congress, that Gen. Fremont makes this
menace.
lu respect 70 the slave aspect of the prccla-
nation, the Star attempts to intame the same
passions which it invoked against the act OF
Congress above referred to; but one single
observation will dispose Of all its clamors.
Slaves arc description of property whicl
this Government cannot contscate in any othei
way than by liberating them, and for the plar
reason that il cannot turn sass- negro trader. II
cannot sell men, and must therefore liberate
them If il determines to coniscate them where
they have been held as property. This is the
reason why slaves are named at all, either in
the contscating act or in the conti:cating proc
i4mation of Gen. Fremont 1t is a peculiU
property, and can only be contiscated in ;
psculur way.

css- The firing across the river, heard at in
,crvals throughout yesterday, was enormously
supposed by many to be preliminary to an
other great battle. The truth appears to be
that the firing was by the rebels upon Mum
sons Hill, where their batteries command a
wide extent of country but none of our posi-
tons; whenever they see any Of our pckcts
within range of their guns they blaze away
which was the case yesterday. so that there
was no more firing than usual.
