LOUISVILLE, July %, 1861.
Some time ago, The Louisville Journal predicted
that il would not be great while till the Harris and
Folk pariies in Tennessee would be calling each other
Aboilionsts. The fuliment of il prediction by nc
means proves that The Journal ia lnealy descended
from Daniel the Prophet. IL only proves the editor
matier-offact man. He has observed successful poll
tcials in III. South long enough to know that making
ugly faces at each other, utterng foul-moulh trades,
and cha ging abolition" have been their stock in
| trade. What charge would inure man in Secession
circles but that of being an Adolf onst Certainly ID
could deprecate him 10 prove him a thief, for the
legal adviser of tie so-called Confederacy thief
OF penknyes and pocket change at schoO and the band
Of usurpers with whom he is associated took their rise
in theft und hghhanded robbery and have assumed TO
! legaize all manner Of stealing To charge lying,
would b. to commend the accused iit for service
in high postion for the entire machinery Of Secession
il lie and s details but partn Of great iare'
hood. To be bameworthy, therefore, public man
mus, needs be Abolitionis IL Is not sufficient to
call him "a Union traitor" because men Of established
character. who cannot be inundated by ruffans in
Committees of Public Safety" persist in boldly de-
elarng themselves Union men. Union men are re-
Specialize and yglants who would not hesitate 10 rob
a henToost are afraid TO aaassinste them
IIe,. Is the manner in which The Nashville Patriot,
HARRIS chief advocate introduces charge Of Adolf
titnsm against The banner:
ain town no, very remote from Nashve, one
day this week, an old Wing, longtime reader OF The
Runner when he got s copy, threw il the ground,
stamped it, aud, with oath, declared he would not
read such an Abolition sheet"
This WAS in The Patriot Of July q. The position of
The NashriRe Banner ia most humilsling one. The
paper was forced into the Secession ranss by threats
and by financial prescription. But there always
some deccncy about it, Is editors wonld like to be
decent men. Better incnatoDs will shine ont in is
columns and then the fumes OF Secession will up
around it like thick fog-so that it shines and sinks
and snks aud shines, like rotten mackerel by moon
light" Those who drawn toward il by the gleam-
ing Of bright spot clap their hands 10 their noses aud
fly from the stink of It's compliant treason. There is
but way read il comfortnbly-io stand afar of
with strong eye glass in hand, and strong grip
upon ones nostrils with the other hand.
Information received from the southwestern portion
of Kentucky exces some apprehension that the Seces-
sionists will cause trouble there within week. Some
prominent Union men have found it unsafe TO remain,
and have taken refuge in this city till better order
l
Mcclellan is to be next in command under Gen. Scott
that such movements will be made will give cour-
age the Union Of Kentucky and East Tennessee.
IL has become necessary to make the embargo at
Louisville quite strict. In the counties Of Warren and
Logan the Secessioniss have openly and deiantly
aided the Tennessee Rebels in smuggling goods through,
that they suffering in their own suppies-st
least, they required to make Il satisfactory showing
that what is shipped TO them from Louisville for their
own legitimate in trade, for their own consump-
ton. The Rebels in Tennessee complain bitterly that
their trunks are subject TO examination here by polite
officers Of the Government but they see no "despo'
tism" in eendng drunken rowdies to hotels AID
depots Al Nashville demand letters from travellers
and even from their own citizens.
An enterprisng jew who had made several attempts
at the Surveyors Office 10 get permit for trunk
which he found could not get through without one,
Ut last determined to try without permit. The
Chief Detective seized IT, IaleI in all other resources
tho fellow resolved TO try the OF Secession
Approaching the officer be said, " 1t Is not worth
while TO stop that trunk here's twenty-doar BILL
There's a man up town who pays me- was the
quiet reply. The trunk was carried 10 the Custom
House, and found TO contain military goods. In
~
fefed g. apiece 10 get four five trunks through to
a certain Ioiat ON the road. Some Jews were caught
in an attempt to smuggle five largo boxes of gray
cloths, gpy flannel shirts, and military buttons
through to Tennessee, by taking them first TO Owens
borough, Ky., on the OHIO River. When the goods
were seized, they actually had tho audacty to pre-
tend they were for general trade. Gray clothing,
with hoavy gilt buttons, must be coming into fashion
The little down.fiycr steamers have been notified that
goods clipped by them must have permits. | trust
Congress will make such provision for Surveyors rs
10 insure them against pecuniay loss by snt if any
should be made against them for seizures in the dis
change Of their duiy. 1t should be borne in mind
thai they may have 10 encounter Secessionsts on the
bench.
We have enjoyed dry weather 80 lorg here, think
vegetation must lie suffering in the immediate vicinity
of Louisville. There Is such dearth Of buiiness that
many business houses occupied rent free, because
The parties are actually making nothing ~ ply with.
Tie a,ne Is tho case with Residences.
The Na'hrRe Patriot says Gen. Mcclellan left
Northwestern Virginia In good time, as his army Will
be snnhilalsd. 50 you may look out for squalls.
