REBEL OUTRAGEs IN SOUTHERN KENTUCKY.-
party of six young men, between the ages OF
fifteen and twenty, arrived in this city on Sat
urday evening" from the vicinity of Columbus,
Ky. Four of the number are named Busby, and
the other two are named Harp. These young
men give distressing account of the state OF
affairs in the vicinity of Columbus On Sunday
last, an officer from the Southern camp at Union
City visited the neighborhood of Columbus, and
warned ten families to leave within two hours.
There was some hesitation on the part of the
Union men, and they were called upon again
before the time expired, and warned that they
could choose the alternative between hanging
snd leaving. Mr.. EBusby, the father of two of
the young men who arrived here, is an aged
man, nearly blind, and has family of six young
children. In addition to that embarrassment,
he had large crop ungathered, and vast
amount Of business unsettled. He was forced,
however, to gather together hastily whatever
he could, and with his family was driven away
from his home There is no accusation what
ever against the individuals thus driven from
their homes save that they entertain Union SEN
timents. The young men alluded to, who ar
rived here on Saturday evening, had sad ex-
perience on their travels to this city. Their
feet we're blistered, their clothes torn and their
fesh. lacerated. They were forced to travel at
night aud lie by during the day, in order to
avoid scouting parties Of Secessionists, many OF
whom they encountered on their way. The
party left this city yesterday for Shelby
county, where they have relatives.-[ Louisville

BLOODY AFFRAY IN NEBRA9KA.-Mr. 5. ID.
Groin, of this city, who has recently returned
from the plains, gives US the following particu-
lars of terrible ARRAY that took place ut one
of the Pixies Peak stations, on Rock Creek, Ne
braska: .asul@ysE frss.s@ ~ si@fes
A noted desperate, uamed D. G. McCanaless,
had occupied a station on the mail route from
Leavenworth to Fort Kearney, and had sold out
to the Express Company After time he got
back again, but the Express Company refused to
sell it. He thereupon threatened to take it by
force. He had, it seems, organized band OF
secessionists, for the purpose of robbery and
murder; and, with the aid of two of the band,
James Woods and james Gordon, made an at
tempt to regain the station and kill its occupants
On the 18th they attacked the station, and while
McCandless attempted to effect an entrance,
Woods and Gordon Went in pursuit of woman
who happened to be outside. While pursuing
her around the house, Mr.. Heacox, who was in
side, shot McCandless, killing him instantly
The two outside then made for the door, but were
met by Heacox, who Immediately shot down
Gordon. Woods finding the place rather hot,
started to rum but when he got about sixty
yards from the house shot from Heacox brought
him down also. Heacox used a navy revolver,
and fired but three times, killing his man in.
stsntly with each shot.
This AcCandess has been q terror to the road
for some time, and he had banded some eight or
ten men together to commit depredations on set.
tiers and travellers. ,a3sf efai!Ea sl
McCandless had previously made boast that
he would attack the Express, and had warned
the settlers that he would have possession of the
country in ten days. On one occasion he tied
an old man to horse with long rope and drag
ged him around. He wanted Heacox to Join his
gang, hut he (H.) positively refused to have any
thing to with him. eranes a'saat%
Hescox gave himself up after the ARRAY, had
an examination and was acquitted. His acquit
tai gave great satisfaction to the settlers on

gle appears to be, TO the continuance of party
strife in the present unhappy condition Of pub
lie affairs; and especially to discouraging por-
zion of the people, on the ground Of party pre-
objection, from rendering services in the cause
of the National Government against the rebels
who are in arms against it, am unable to dis
tinguish between such q course and the direct
support of the cause Of. those who are armed to
subvert the Government To whatever extent
you may be able, by ,meaps dOf your paper, to
influence your Democratic friends to withhold
their aid in support of the government, to that
ext mt are you guilty Of rendering aid and com
fort, to the enemies of the Government now in
arms against it, and cannot but believe that
| such is your purpose, as evidenced by the edi.
torial remarks published in your paper of this
week, as Introductory to a quotation from the

1t remains to be seen whether the patriotic
Democrats, who, seeing the Republic in danger,
have come to its defense, will submit to the in.
dignity; or whether others who may not yet
have volunteered in its service, will be driven
from their purpose to do so, in fear Of being de-
| nounced as unworthy Democrats, by partisan
sheet, whose principles, under pretense of hass
tired against a party adversary, seeks to weaken
the arm of the Government and strengthen that
of its adversary. This was not the patriotism
Of the Douglas, whose lead in the late Presiden.
tial contest you professed to follow. His pa
| triotism did not dictate to him in the dark hour
of danger to turn his back upon the cause, or the
flag of his country-that Gag which you affect
to call our flag, but the support of which you
denounce on the part of those Democrats who
have rallied to its defense upon the call Of Mr..
Lincoln. e t.sr.i
Nor was this the patriotism which Influenced
Col. John N. Cornell, who, understand. is no
longer interested in your paper, though his
name still appears at its head as editor and pub
Usher. He did not, in the hour of need, fail to
rally in defense of that flag upon the call of Mr..
Lincoln. To him it was the call of the country
| for support and protection against armed enc
mics, with and for whom he had no sympathy.
He did not stop to inquire whether it was the

The actual number of missing cannot yet be
stated, as every day soldiers heretofore re-
ported as missing are making their appear
ance. Recent estimates put the killed at
about 500, and the wounded and missing at
about 800. This is not very far from the
number reported by General Mcdowell, after
examining all the official data within his
reach. But we presume that if complete and
accurate returns could be obtained, some of
the missing would have to be classed among
the killed, increasing their number perhaps
to six hundred. The wounded are not likely
to exceed eleven hundred, and large proper
tion of these are but slightly hurt. A later,
and full official report, makes the casualties
on our side 270S, of these 481 were killed,
l0ll wounded, and 1916 missing.

ATHE REBEL Loss.-Statements confirming
the loss of the Rebel army at the battle Of
Bull Run, or Stone Bridge. continue to be re-
ceived, which show that their loss was much
greater than that on our side. carefully
written letter to the Richmond Dispatch, da-
ted July 9th, six days after the battle, says
sThe mortality was immense upon both
sides. Upon ours, the returns will show a.
bout sir hundred killed aud Twenty-Five hundred
Uounded.' AS the reporters and writer's for
the Southern papers are in the habit of under
rating their own losses, the actual number
of killed and wounded probably exceeds this.
The statements of the respective losses of
different regiments confirm these large fig
ures, and the reports Of the number of wound
ed at various places confirm them. The Phil
adelphia Bulletin, several days since, copied
from New Orleans paper an appeal for sup
plies for six hundred wounded men at Char
lottesville alone. 1t is known that large
Numbers of wounded are still at Manassas,
while Richmond, Lynchburg, Culpepper,
Warrenton and many other towns, have re-
eeived them by hundreds. All things con.
sidered, it is not surprising to hear that Gen.
Beauregard is in no hurry to send return of
the killed and wounded to the War Depart
ment at Richmond.
