NEWS OF THE DAY.
THE WAR.

Our Geographic news, up to O'Clock this morn
ing, was very meager. We give sundry reports
and conflicting r0mors about the Rebel excursion TO
Southern Pennsylvania but little is really added to
our stock of information. From the Wet, be had
nothing at all new when this summary WIS closed.
When a thief turns States evidence we gen.
orally get at the truth. Lei MS call such one 10
prove that the Confederate Guerillas or Partisan
Rangers" as jeff. Davis eaphoniousy names tbem
are no more nor less than robbers and murderers.
We call John B. Floyd, who is certainly thief,
and quote from letter written by him to the State
authorities Of Virginia, with reference 10 the conii
ton of tie western part Of that State: 81 have
ben d,core Of abuses and optrGgeS ofG most mon
strous md shocking character, committed by those
who believe are organized as partisan rangers,
under authority Of tie Confederate offcers-blt so
scrupulous have ! been in abstaining from what
might be the little and the ignorant be construed
Into unwarrantable interference that j have FORE
borne 10 issue any order to prevent what it was the
duty Of every Confederate officer, IN tie name Of La
manly 10 pa! q stop 10. The chief causes Of the
dissfection among the people of large part Of this
community, have arisen from the high-handed scts
Of robbery and Yapine committed by many of the
partisan rangers. | know t1at q commission, if
fairly executed wopid disclose a !atelcaness ard
n.orStsOHs abuse Of authority and po~er, uhsch
tcohid b. astonishing GHd s. oCkiag and which would
call for and insure from tho Secretary and the Pres
dent prompt reform, and stern measures Of redress
against my repetition of them" This is no Union
TRADE. bu, the official testimony of Confederate
General.
Much caro- has been taken 10 conceal the fac; Of
the great Dissatisfaction OF the State of Georgia with
the Rebel Government; but the evidence now and
then pops out in spite of their teeth. Not long since
we recorded the discharge Of conscript by
Georga Judge, who boldly declared the Conscrip-
ton act Illegal and void. We have not heard that
the Judge was moles:ed. But here is stronger evil
denoe In an article about differences between the
State Of Virginia aad the Confederate Government,
Tie Richmond Examiner Of the 9th says: "Such
correspondence for instance, between the State Of
Georgia, whiet quietly prohibits The enforcement Of
tie Conscript iaV IN as Auts, and The Confederate
GOrernmeat, wkch p0cketed tie prohibition, will
never see the Light for it VIII never be undertaken"
This is positive statement that Georgia repudiates
the Confederate authority, and that the Central
government ie 100 weak 10 enforce Ns laws, even
the law Of all others most Indispensable TO is exist
eace.
1t appears that much of the success which has
ATTENDED arms in The Southwest Of late YVES in
consequence Of important information found n Rebel
documents captured s0me weeks since by Gen.
Buell.. These papers were letters Of Beauregard aud
Cooper, :be Rebel Adjutant- General containing spe-
cifc plas for the capture Of Louisville and Cncin
matt. These cities were to be taken, and held by
erecting strong works near by, the river and cana!
navigation was to be destroyed, &c. The letters
will soon be published.
We are assured that The draft in ibis State
WINCH many persons suppose will not be necessary,
viii be 'aade IN very few days. There Will be
o'oVV men to rase, aud all will be distributed among
Tho ola regiments. The State Militia will be exemp..
and Tie tuemen Of This city also, if they raise their
proportion by volunteers.
Rebel reports OF the battles at Corinh make the
case better for the Union side than do some of orr
own-so ssyS d Cairo dispatch, quoting Tile Grenoda
appeal no authority.
An expedition sent for Memphis on Sunday
last 70 Wolf River destroyed Rebel camp. killed
4, wounded Ia, and captured 30 men.
