new guarantees for Slavery, and eject the New

are sdmiseiohs Of encouragement, and that
the South ought to have waited longer.
Money is scarce, aud it Is next to tmpossi-
Bile TO make q collection. It has been custom.

low. Freights on railroads are very ight;

This ssstem Of plunderis Is bnt small part Of
the sggraVations which afiict the inhabitants
In the regions indicated. Their fears are ex-
cited By rowing bands Of Indians, who it Is
confidently believed, accompany the rebel
horde. The Indians belong to the Cherokee
and Creek tribes, and are mostly halGbreeds,
with faces Of hideous aspect. It is ayerred
on good authority, that Cherokee named
ETY., has commission in his deer
skin pouch, insu1iug him reward of $50
for the scalp usually Worn BY Or. Stenmer, Of
Jasper county. The names Of other loyal cit
liens are mentioned, whose scalps are In good

nanity of the tines A benevolent lady,

We might add numberless instances to the

people are fleeing from these terrible erils
that sd1ict them at home, and are seeking an
asylum amopg utter strangers. The road be-
tween Springfield and Mount Vernon has
been filled With fugitiyes for eeverA weeks.
Ne can but hope that the time for their de-
uTcrance ia kear at hand.

If the reports from Cumberland Gap
may to be beieved-and We see no reason
to doubt them-the rebels have made 3
quick response to Kentucky s choice OF the
tnion, by marching several thousand men
into the State for rapine and plunder.
They are said to be pouring through Cum
berland Gap, headed upon Barbours-
vile, where are large supplies OF
bacon, and 8 Bank to be robbed
If the raid has been indeed begun, it will
probably not stop with this. There are
either troops near the border, and other sus-
picious movements going on in Tennessee,
that forbid the idea- Kentucky has made
the fate Of the Union her fate, and if her
