According to the Journal, approval of
Fremont's proclamation is unmistakable
evidence of abolitionism, against which
the conservative and Union party must
array itself to man.
We are pleased to find the Journal and
others who have been manipulating the
Iowa State and Congressional movement
speaking out their sentiments little more
freely. They want to make conserva-
tive compromise pro-slavery party Of it
They cant bear James r. Wilson because
he is too radical, and they look upon those
who sustain the policy Of Fremont's pro-
clamation as mere Abolitionists.
Let honest men beware for we assure
them that there are the most unmistaka-
BILE indications on all hands that the influ
entail leaders of the Union State move
ment are earnestly at work to commit it
to the old fashioned conservative dough-
face pro-slavery compromise policy.

IT, tie Citizens Of Fl. Madison:
Having received repeated assurances Of
the dangerous condition of the Fort Mad
ison Branch road, on the 7th instant |
called to sec Judge Boyles in reference to
it. Being absent, on the following day |
addressed him a note stating the necessity
Of repairs TO his division of the road, and
that in order to expedite the matter | had
directed gang TO make the necessary re-
pairs ut once,--the cost of which would be
deducted from balance due his road My
note provoked the following reply:
September, IL, 1861.
.Your letter of the sth instant has just
been handed to me- cannot permit you
to put your men on my road You must
withdraw them at once will attend to
my own road If you will pay me my
percentage | will keep it in mo. l. con-
dition."
According to instructions the force sent
by me went to work and were ordered off
by Mr.. Boyles Immediately notified
him that if his road was not put in safe
condition by Saturday night, the 2lst, the
trains would cease to run to Fort Madl-
son until the necessary repairs were made.
/ placed in his hands what / supposed to
be sufficient amount Of money for the
purpose The repairs have not been
made, and in my judgment the present
condition of the road is attended with
danger.
/ publish this card as explanatory of the
suspension of the train and in yindication
of the action have thought proper to
pursue. }. W. OGDEN.

Jamestown, Nd Sept. q

Yesterday an unauthorized scouting
party from the Saith n Y. Regiment went
across the Potomac near the mouth of
Seneca, and were attacked by superior
party OF the enemy; one of ouTs killed and
several wounded. One of the latter was
shot through the cheek, but fled pursued
by the enemy. On reaching creek he
threw IN his gun aud plunged in himself,
laying on his back and resting his head
upon stone with his mouth above water.
he evaded his p rsuers, aud after three
hours submersion he crawled to shore. -
His companions, who were concealed on
the Maryland side, discovered and rescued
him while making vain attempt to swim
across. These lncursions, which can be-
OF no use to our cause, are condemned by
experienced officers.
The ID X. /. battery, stationed near
the mouth of Seneca, sheled Yesterday an
encampmcnt nearly opposite, and it is be-
lleved several were killed. The enemy
did not respond probably for want Of arti-
lery This morning at daylight it was
discovered by Gen. Stone IS pickets, near
Conrad's Ferry, that the enemy, during
the previous night, had commenced and
partially constructed an entrenchment on
the Virginia side about 900 feet from the
slope facing the river. One Of our light
batteries opened upon i about o'clock,
and after 90 or 30 rounds nothing was TO
be seen OF the enemy and but little
of the results of their labors. For
some days past conversations have been
held between oar own and the rebel pick
cts. from which it has been discovered
that the latter belong to the Cd Richmond
cavalry, who were anxious TO exchange
late Richmond papers for Northern pa
pers, but were declined.

telegram received yesterday by
prominent officer of the Government, da-
ted indianapolis, says that Gov. Morton
and Col. Wood left for Louisville on the
18th inst, on special train with guns
and ammunition. The Government has
ordered the home guards and regiments
on the border to hold themselves in read
mess. 1t is further added that 10000
additional troops could leave that State
In twenty-four hours.
General Reynolds who was at Cheat
Mountain, has, the telegraph states, driv-
en- the rebels from their positions, killing
nearly one hundred of them. Col. Lid
well, Of 18th Indiana regiment, was sur
rounded twice, but repulsed the rebels
with great gallantry and with small loss.
The date of the action is not mentioned

There is yet no definite action in regard
to Major-General Fremont's administra-
ton Of affairs in Missouri, the questions
involved being of delicate and eompli-
Gated character. The. Indications are,
however, that if he shall not be superced-
ed in command, which now seems proba-
Bile, other arrangements of an important
bearing will be made havin. in view
the public welfare. Nothing beyond what
IS here stated can be reliably ascertaiaed
for the reason already mentioned.

Louisville, Sept q.
1t is rumored that Buckner has advanced
on Elizabethtown but cannot be confirmed
in season fer evening papers. The Federal
troops are preparing for any emergency.
The following proclamation is just receiv
ed
To the people Of kentucky:
The Legislature have been faithless to
the will of the people. They have en-
deavored to make your gallant State a
fortress in which, under the guise of neu-
traity, the armed forces Of the United
States most surely prepare to subjugate
alike the people of Kentucky and lthe
Southern States 1t was not until after
months of covert and open violation of
your neutrality with large encampments
Of Federal troops on your territory, and a
recent official declaration of the President
of the U. S. not to regard your neutral po-
stion, coupled with we'll prepared scheme
to seize an additional point In your terri
tory, which was of vital Importance to the
safety and defence of Tennessee, that the
troops of the Confcderacy, on the invita-
ton Of the people Of Kentucky, occupied
defensive post IN your State. In doing
SO the commander announced his purpose
to eyacuate your territory simultaneously
with similar movement on the part of
the Federal forces, whenever the Legisla-
ture of Kentucky shall undertake To en-
force against both beliigcrents the strict
neutrality which they have so often de-
clared. | return amongst you, citizens of
Kentucky, at the head of force, the ad-
vance Of which is composed entirely of
kentuckians. We do not come to modest
any person, whatever may be bis political
opinions, unlike the agents of the northern
despotism who seek to reduce us to the
condition of dependent vassals We be-
lieve that the recognition of the civil
rights of citizens is the foundation of con-
stitutional liberty, and that the claim of
the President of the United States to de-
clare martial law, to suspend the writ of
habcas corpus, and to convert every bar
rack and every prison In the land into a
bastile is nothing but the claim which
other tyrants have assumed to subjugate a
free people The Confederate States oc-
cupy Bowling Green as defensive posi-
ton | renew the pledges of the CON-
manders of other columns Of Confederate
troops to retire from the territory Of Ken
lucky on the same condition which will
govern their Governments. further give
my own assurance that the force under my
command will be used as aid to the Gov
Of Kentucky in carrying out the strict neu-
trality desired by itspeople whenever they
undertake to enforce it against the two
belligerents alike.
