LATER FROM BOWLING GREEN.
We learn from friend late from Bowling
Green, that matters are quiet there just
now-that large amount Of provision had
arrived, and was stored in that city for
army purposes-that the large number Of
Federals which had crossed Green River
had been driven back by General Hindman-
that all the produce houses and mills north
Of Bowling Green had been destroyed, so
that the Yanks could find no shelter and no
feed-that the roads had been plowed up,
and trees felled across them, to stay the ad-
vance of the Yanks-and that sixty days
would not elapse before ten thousand good
| and true Southern men would rise up in
the rear Of the Yankee army and fight their
way through to General Buckner.
The New Orleans Crescent Of the 4th has
the following:
Good paper is in demand, as there is a
large amount Of money lying idle and on

the amount was $23. 3.030, ,045 and due dis

Letters from Col. COrcOran.

Two letters from Colonel Corcoran, the
last dated Columbia, South Carolina, Jan.
9TH, have been published. The Colonel
says:
We arrived on the evening OF the first iu-
stant, where our condition is much superior
to that which we anticipated Captain
Shiver, who commands here, and his lieu-
tenants, are strict, but most courteous and
obliging, and are eyer ready to procure such
articles as we feel disposed and are able to
purchase.
l have never yet been heard to utter a
single word nor do now wish to be classed
among the faultsfnders but while many of
those who deserted their post on the battle:
field, and an off from the face of danger to
place of safety, have been rewarded with
almost unprecedented promotion, l think it
is due to the officers and men who remained
in the performance of duty faithfully to the
last, and there fell victims to long imprs-
onment, that they should receive at least
sufficient consideration to relieve them from
the most disagreeable position that men can
possibly be placed in.

True Patriotism.

Gen. Wadsworth, of New York, Brig
adler General in McClellan's army, has been
in Washington only twice since September
and then only for an hour or TWO. We
cannot refrain from mentioning the fact that
neither he nor his SOD has taken from the
Government a ceut of pay since they enter
ed the service. The only parallel to this
is Miss Dixe's declination of the use of a
carriage at the Government expense. Her
letter is so anomalous that we give it en-.
tire:
TO the Hon. SIMON CAMEsON, Secretary of War.

The Proposed Bankrupt Law.

The committee appointed by bankers
and merchants Of New York, have caused
the legal firm of Barney, Butler & Parsons,
to prepare general Bankruptcy act, and
have published it Tor public examination.
The committee consists of Royal Phelps,
James M. Brown, George Opdyke, VIM.

similar standing. The following are the
provisions OF the act:

Lincoln and Lane.

WILLIAM AUGUSTUS CESAR CRoFFUrT
has created another sensation at Washing
ton, by publishing what purports to be a
conversation between President LINCOLN
and jim LANE, in which the latter was told
to "go ahead" &c. The New York Times
thus replies:
The reported conversation between General
Lane and President Lincoln, published with so
much ostentation and emphasis by the Tai
bune. is really a very insignificant affair. In
reply to the inquiry of friend today, MIR.
Lincoln characterized the matter in these
terms. remarking that his private converse.
tions were not for newspaper nor for national
governance; that in fact nothing from him was
worth repeating unless it had abraham Lin.

Gen. Mcclellan.

The radical press have found another op.
portunity to cast slurs on Gen. MCCLELLAN.
The Hutchinson family having obtained
passes across the Potomac, commenced a
series of concerts through the camps, which
was suppressed by Gen. FRANKLIN, and
subsequently, it is said, Gen. Nc CLELLAN
issued an order forbidding such singing
within his jurisdiction. The Tribune says
"the quiet on the Potomac has been some
what disturbed by this affair, but it is now
restored" We don't think Gen. McCLEL
Lam will be disturbed by anything the ITS-
buaae editors may say, even if they were
backed by all the negro miustrels in the
United States, and the abolition orators
besides.

But, whoever attributes to President
LINCOLN the adoption Of this exceptional
policy, which is suited only to single field,
as the future policy of his Administration
in the general conduct OF the war, does gross
wrong net only 10 the character of the
President, but to the character of our civil.
ization, and to every true, unfanatical in.
stinct of our people. We have every as
surance and belief that this general policy
will in no respect be changed. At the be.
ginning of this unnatural conflict the Presi-
dent announced bis policy to be constitu-
tional; looking rather to the conservation of
the Union, and the institutions of its people,
than to their destruction. And, we have
no fear that Abolitionism will be able to
turn him from this policy in the future, any
more than it has in the past.

The Naval School at Newport is thus
alluded to by correspondent of the Prov.
idence Journal:
presume that no institution in this country
was less understood, outside of Annapolis,
than was the Naval School. We had often
heard of it, but had no definite idea as to what
it was. By most, probably, it was supposed
to be merely receiving ship, like the North
Carolina. But we were agreeably disappolnt.
ed in the whole nature and character of the
the school. If the lads trained for their coun-
trys service do not enter upon and discharge
their duties with dignity end ability, you may
rest assured it will be from no want of good
precept and good examples. 1t is little won.
der that the navy still retains its hold upon the
pride and affections of our people. The train.
ing here is admirable. A pleasant sight it is.
that of two or three hundred selected, healthy
lads, from fourteen to twenty years of age
boys, not young men, in roundabout Jackets
full of life and vivacity, yet under strict
manly discipline. and made to feel that they
are expected to represent favorably abroad
and at home the nation to which they owe
their culture.
