KENTUCKY ELECTION. AND VARI-
Gus REBEL REPORTS.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 7--Nearly the full vote

sionists to the legislature, but the disloy al

informed politicians think the legislature in
each house will be composed of rs per cent. of
Union men.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Aug. 9th, TO
the Memphis Avalanche says a confederate
scouting party encountered one hundred fed
erals in northwestern Arkansas, and killed

The Winchester Iva Republican of the 5tl!

tates, destroyers of their homes and firesides,
and poiluters sof their women. 1t demands
that every prisoner at Richmond be inearcer-
ated and put in irons. Justice, humanity, and
civilization alike cry for the stern execution
Of retribution.
Lieut.. Lamar of the confederate army is
still confined at Richmond. The whole of one
side is seriously paralyzed.
There is no security Tor remittanCes in mon

OF here. Letters which are passing through
the mails south of kentucky are generally
opened and deprived OF their pecuniary con

southern confederacy.
The Galveston papers of the 9th ult. say
that Vidaurri expresses the greatest friend

FROM GEN. BANKS, COMMAND.

SANDY Hook, MD, Aug. 1.-THE secession
prisoners captured opposite Point of Rocks,
are in the cavalry camp, strictly guarded.
They appear quite easy in mind as to the fu-
ture Some of their friends visited them in
company with our own officers, but no private
conversation was allowed. Our picketS brought
in prisoner TO day, taken on the river shore,
near SheppardsIown.
The secession cavalry are frequently seen
in the vicinity of the ferry in small squads.
Yesterday eleven ere reported to have been
discovered near Bolivar heights. A strong
scouting party was Immediately sent out to
secure them, but they have not yet reported.
Great efforts are making by the rebel com
manderS at Manassas junction to amass a large
stock OF supplies, which seems to indicate d
forward movement in this direction. Ii is also
confidently believed that Gen. Johnston is now
a short distance north of the junction, and
that he may be on his way to locate at Charles
town, where scouts are known to have been
frequently. seen OF late.
The recent report that Gen, Banks is to be
superseded by Gen. Mccall, is believed by the
officers here to be destitute of foundation
Gen. Banks has succeeded without any appa-
rent effort, in removing the sectional preju.
dces of all who have met him, particularly as
regards the Inhabitants on both sides of the
river. | may perhaps be allowed to state that
it was probably by the suggestion OF Gen.
Banks that the government adopted the plan
OF concentrating a large force AT Baltimore, as
the most convenient point for suddenly rein.

WASHINGTON, Aug 7.--Slaves daily flock
to Gen. Banks camp. MANY have been re-
turned to their owners claiming to be union
men.
There was a skirmish between the federal
and rebel pickets, at Falls Church last night.
Two of the federals were wounded.
A private letter from Charlottesville, Va,
says our wounded there are well taken care
Of. Among them are John MaIoney, regiment
not known, but supposed to be from Cass', as.
he has friends in Boston. Also Capt Butter
worth and Sergeant Rhodes OF the Michigan
regiments.
Hon. A. W. Randall is appointed minister
TO Rome, vice Rufus King, resigned to take
command of the Wisconsin brigade in Balti-
more, to which city he is ordered to day.
Capt. Andrew A. Harwood who has been
temporarily acting chief in the bureau Of ord.
nance and photography, was yesterday con
tirmed by the senate.
An order was to day issued by the post office
department directing postmasters to send TO
the dead letter office all envelopes having print
ed or written upon them scunilous or scanda
lous matter.
Movements of troops are conducted with
the least possible parade and publicity 1t is
evident, however, that Mcclellan is seduously
employed in making the best disposition Of
the forces under his command, with view to
tho protection of the capital, snoulu l'0
as co-workers, threaten It's security.
Reports are prevalent that large body Of
secessonsts, supposed to be part Of john
ston's command, have been recently seen with
in two miles Of tile Potomac Great Falls, in
nearly direct line with the fording place II
this is true, it may be safely stated the confed
crates would not find their passage unobstruct-
ed, and would discover certain arrangements
on the part of the federal government not in
serted in the disunion programme. 1t is
known there is ON the part of our troops the
utmost vigilance, while our lines are sufficient

anxiety on account Of the threats of Texans
to capture government property. An express
from New Mexico overlook 1000 soldiers re-
turning to the States at Bents old fort, with
orders for them TO return TO New Mexico. 1t
was feared the Texans were going to capture
the government forts in that territory.
Two federal officers-Capt. John Nj. James
and Lieut.. r G. Garland of the seventh in.
fantry-had deserted from the Union service
at Fort Fillmore aud joined the Texans.
BY the latest accounts, Texans had assem-.
bled at Fort Bliss about 700 strong, with a
number Of pieces Of artillery. Their pickets
had approached within ten miles Of Fort Fill

regulars to meet them.

sembled yesterday, and was In session again
