LENCoLN;s CABINET--GRUmBLTNG
AZ EEHE NORTH.

There is a bitter feud existing between the
Abolitionists themselves that prognosticates q
row. II we take their own stories they are
all thieves, or imbeciles. The special cores
pendent Of the Cincinnati Commercial gives a
dagusrreotype of some Of the officials, and rs
fsrs TO the stealing prOpsnsities which are SO
extensively INDUCED in by all who cas posi-
bly, secure a grab. We extract as follows
The war department has done very poorly,
considering the tremendous resources placed
az its disposal. The momentum Of the North
has done the work thus far, by forcing through
the wal department the necessary measures.
The administraive ability required in this
emergency has been wanting. It is hoped
that a wholesome change in the cabinet may
be brought abeut soon by the removal Of Ca
msron and Welbes, from the war and navy de-
p%aTtment, who are very far behind the times.
Provisions IN CIECIENATI.-The Cincin-
natl Price Current, Of the 26th ult., says that
bacon is selling there at AZ, 81, and TIC, and
that bulk meats can be bought at 81 and 54c.
Lard is quoted at s and Sic, and no demand.
These articles command nearly or quite double
these prices 10 the South. Lincoln's embargo
lie working the pockets Of northern men most
fsarfully. Though the South would bay, they
can make out to get along without these arti-
cles, but the probability is that they will spoil
in the hands Of the northern holders.

An AWFUL FUTuRE.-A man named VIM.
D. Kiagin, who had committed most afro
cious murder in Michigan short time since
and been convicted of the crime, was sen.
fenced to the State Prison for life. Last
week he entered his dreary abode-a solta.
ry dark cell, with buta small, dim light from
above, there 10 remain as long as his life
shall last-never to be permitted to hold a
word of conversation with any human being
to write word to, or hear from, his family
or any other individual-aever to know any
thing that occurs in the world ostside-hav-
ing nothing to divert his mind henceforth,
as long as his life shall last, from reflection
upon the awful crime he committed and its
terrible retribution. He entered his dismal
cell with realization of his. condition, and
with scarcely sufficient strength to maintain
an erect position. Could death come in any
shape, to mind capable Of fully appreci.
ating its approach. more horrible than sasl.
a one as that.

hot, cooked or raw, alone or with salt or
pepper, or vinegar, together, to like ad-
vantage, and 20 the utmost that can be ta-
ken withan appetite. Il is a healthful
quality that arises from iss slight acidity, in
this making it as valuable, perhaps, as cher
ries, currents, and similar articles. 1t is al.
so highly nutrious, but its chief virtue con-
sists in its tendency to keep the bowels free
owing TO the seeds it contains, they acting as
mechanical, irritants to the inner coating OF

larger amount Of fluid matter than otherwise
would have been done, to the effect of keep.

Ss'x.Sec crcfpry Floyd IIorxe.TAief,
(From the Louisville Joufnal) =.

(From the Louisville JoufnaL) =.
The papers say that Gov. Floyd has pre-.
sented pair of magnificent horses to JEFF.
Davis. The Governor since his orportuni-
ty of stealing by the million, has had tine
means Of figuring pretty extensively in the
way of gifts. But we don't believe the old
rascal would pay his debts even if his steal.
'hgs were five times as huge in amountcs
they are :
We Presume that the two horses which
Floyd has given to Davis are not the SANE
two that ne stole from Sam Burke, of Jetf,r.
son county, KY, fifteen Or twenty years ago,
for these must be getting little old by this
time. Perhaps some Of FIoyds admirers
would like to know how the old horse.thief
managed his little operation with Burke
Well, he lay sick for several weeks in Burke's
neighborhood, and, when he recovered and
was about to start for his home in Virginia, ]
he heard Burke say that he proposed selling
very fne pair Of horses. ooh, don't sell
them here" said Floyd, "let me take them
to Virginia, and can Immediately sell them
for you at twice what they would bring here"
Burke gave his consent, and Floyd made of
with the horses. Burke waited and waited
and waited and gat tired of waiting. At tho ;
end of about six months he wrote to Floyd,
asking whether he had not sold the horses
Floyd wrote back that one of them had been
for some time indisposed, and he had there
fore thought it best not, to hurry the sale,
but that the invalid horse was getting in
good condition and would no doubt be very
soon fit for the market. Burke, not quite
satisfied that all was right, made answer that
he wanted the horses sold Immediately and
the money sent to him even If it shouldn't
be more than five dollars. To that, Floyd
made no reply whatever. Burke never re-
ceived another line from hira, but, meeting.
with one Of Floyd's nearest neighbors year
and half or two years afterwards, he men,
toned to him the circumstance of Floyd,s
having carried off his horses. "Why, my
dear sir" said the gentleman, 81 see those
horses every day they are Floyds carriage
horses, and considered the finest in our
county" We understand that poor Burke
gave Tery energetic expression to the emo
tons Of his heart.
We might give other and equally curious
accounts of Governor Floyd's operations in
this neishborhood. Certain victims of his
very peculiar financial skill wrote to him
while he was Secretary Of the Treasury, hay..
ing faint hope, that, as he had risen in DO.
sition, he had also risen 10 personal integrity
or at least in personal pride, but they were
not able to attract his attention. No douh.
he was by far too busy with his new steal.
ings to be willing to have his thoughts di-
rected from them by his old ones.

Serious Affair in the Seventh Ward-One
Soldier Stabbed by Another.

Tho neighborhood of Maryland avenue and

of groat excitement about four O'Clock yester-
day afternoon, caused by the sergeant of one
Of tho comranies belonging to the Thirty first
Pennsy lvania regiment stabbng with n bayonet
II private by the name of j. 4. Kaine, belonging
to Company G, of the same regiment.
The circumstances Of the case, so far as we
have been able TO ascertain, are as follows
Private Kaine, accompanied by his brother, a
private in the Same company, left tho camp OF
tho regiment without leave, and a guard was
sent in search of him, with orders to bring him
back to the camp. Tho guard came up with
them near the corner Of Maryland avenue and
Four.and.a half street, and ordered them to
fall into line, which J. T. Kaine, who was in
toxicated al tho time, refused to do, accompa-
nying the Qfusal by the use of tho most violent
language. THE sergeant then endeavored TO
take him by force, when a struggle ensued
during which Kaine was run through with a
bayonet, which entered the abdomen, passing
through tho liver and out ut the back again.
The wounded man was Immediately taken up
and conveyed to tho L street InGrmary, where
he now lies in a critical condition.

IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY.
Interesting Detai,. from Ls,lng.o,

Louisville, Sept. 2l.-It'is rumored that Gen.
Buckner has advanced on Elizabethtown,
(Which is the capital Of Hardin county. Ken.
tuoky, and on the main road from Nashville
to Louisville, forty. three miles south by wost
Of the latter.)
General Buckner has issued the following
proclamation:
To The People of Kentucky:
The Legislature Of Kentucky have been
faithless TO the will Of the people. They have
endeavored to make your gallant State q
Fortress in which, under the guise of neutral.
ity, tho armed forces OF the United States
might securely prepare to subjugate alike the
people Of Kentucky and the Southern States.
1t was not until after months of covert and
open violation of your neutrality with large
encampments Of Federal troops on your terri.
tory, and " recent official declaration OF the
President Of the United States not to regard
your heutral position, coupled with q well.
prepared scheme to seize an additional point
In your territory, which was Of vital impor-
tance to the safety and defence of Tennessee, /,
that the troops Of tho Southern Confederaoy,
on tho invitation of the people of Kentucky,
occupied 2 defensive post in your State. In
doing so, the commander announced bis pur-
pose to evacuate your territory Simultaneous.
ly with a similar movement on the part Of the
Federal forces whenever the Legislature of
Kentucky shall undertake to enforce against
both belligerents tho strict neutrality which
your citizens of Kentucky at the head of a
force, the advance OF which is composed on.
tirely of Kentuckians. We do not come to
molest any citizen, whatever may be his po.
itical opinions. Unlike the agents of the
Northern despotism, who seek to reduce us ia
the condition of dependent vassals, we believe
that the recognition Of the civil rights of citi.
zens is the foundation of constitutional liberty
and that the claim Of the President of the Uni
ted States to declare martial law, to suspend
tho privilege Of the writ Of hdbeds corpus, and
to convert every barracks and prison in the
land into a Bastie, is nothing but the claim
which other tyrants have assumed to subju
gate free people. Tho Confederate States
occupy Bowling Green as u defensive posi-
tion. l renew the pledge of commanders o
other columns of Confederate troops to retire
from the territory of Kentucky on the samt
conditions which will govern their movements
| further give you my own assurance that Tho
| force under my command will be used as al
| aid to the Government of Kentucky, in carry
ing out tho strict neutrality desired by its peo
| pie, whenever they undertake to enforce i
against the two belligerents alike.

AFFAIRS AT LEXINGTON.


Jefferson City, Friday, Sept. 2O.-It is sup
posed at headquarters that Colonel Mullgans
force at Lexington is $500, consisting of AN
irish brigade, Colonel Mulgan, 900; Colonel
ment, the number Of which Is not known 900
Home Guards, mounted; 500 Home Guards,
infantry; three six.pounders, one howtzer,
and two mortars.
Some Federal scouts, just in, report the firing
at Lexington still going on Wednesday evening.
The robels are said to have no shells, shrapnel
or canister, nothing but round shot and slugs.
Near 5000 Government horses and mules are
within Mulligan's entertainments, requiring
much care to prevent stampede.
Kansas Oily, Thursday, Sept. l9.-Advices
received by a private letter from Lexington to-
| day, say that Gen. Price attacked tho Federals
| at ten O'Clock yesterday morning, with force
| of $4,000. tFudge.l
The Federal force was estimated at from
three thousand to four thousand.
The Federals fought them two hours, when
| the rebels drove them back into their cntrench.
ments, carrying everything before them.
The Irish brigade then came out and charged
them at tho point Of the bayOnet, scattering the
rebels everywhere.
General Prco was to attack them again this
morning, with seventeen pieces of artillery.
| No statements Of the loss on either side is
given.
Jefferson City, Sept. 2O.-A special dispatch
| to the st. Louis Democrat says:
Joff. G. Davis, commanding here, received his
| appointment as Brigadier General to-day.
| Gen. Lane is reported to have made q juno
| ton with the forces at Lexington with four
| thousand men. Reintorcements from st. 10.
| seph are also reported TO have reached that
place, and Lexington is now considered safe.
Gen. Price viii undoubtedly be surrounded
| and cut off. 1t is feared that the reinforce.
ments sent from here have not yet reached
| Lexington.
Heavy batteries are planted at Glasgow by
| the rebels and our troops will have to disem'
| bark below the town and attack them in the
| rear.
81. Louis, September 2l.-The following is
the position of the opposing forces at LeXinS.
of the Missouri river. The early settlement
which is called "Old Town." has been super
seded by Now Lexington, which lies further ul
tho river, and which constitutes the main por
ton of the city.
Col. Muilgan's fortfcations are erected on a
i ridge running at right angles between the two
towns, and extend down to the river bluff, be
tween which and tho waters edge there IS a
wide, shelving beach. The main body OF Gen
i Prices army occupies "Old Town." but the
fOrtihcations have been assailed from all sides
except the river. Lexington proper is in the
possession of Price, but Is not the theatre I"
the conflict.
Tho rcinforcements which loft Jefferson City
on Wednesday, must have reached the neigh
bOrhoOd Of Lexington yesterday. These troup'
could doubtless have landed on the south side
of the river. Tho combined Federal forces, IN
Guiding Sturgis command, marching to the re
lief of Lexington, number twelve thousand men
and these, uniting with Mugan and Lane, cal
attack and completely rout Prices whole
army.
