Louisville legion. He did this against the pro.
test OF large numbers Of influential tender foot
90 unionlsts who feared that the bloody scenes
enacted ct Baltimore would be re-eusetsd.-
but ne told them he WAS prepared for the is
sue, and should seek it.. His regiment was
not molested, but on the contrary was receiv-
ed with the most marked manifestations OF
grauhc cation. 1t was great blow for. the
Union cause in Kentucky. After that day
breckenridge, Clay, Preston, and other seces-
sionists, deemed it valorous to get out of the
State. Cen. Rousseau hes Just been made q

Dumont.-Brigsdier General Hbenezer Du-
mont, our Indiana general, ia full five feet four
inches in hight, his legs monopolising the
lions share of his longitude-weighs about ITO
pounds-fair hair and moustache very dark
in fact quite Freuchy. He il perhaps forty
Eve years Of age. Gen. Dumont hes the repu-
tation Of being good soldier. He WAS put on
the track of Morgan, to trap that ubiquitous
but could not catch him, whereat the Louis.
vile Journal brought his lsmpooning skill to
bear on the general. He sent letter to the
Journal which stopped its pen in that direo-
ton. 1t is evident from this letter that the
general writes well, know he fought we'll,
and has just been elected to Congress.
Boyle.-Brig. Gen. Jere 7. Boyle is post
commander here. In hight he measures Eve
feet eight, inclined to corpulency, and per-
haps forty years of age. His complexion is
fair, and his hairlight and curly. He is well
suited to ais plsee-cordial, gentlemanly, ready
to do favor, attentive to his duties, and hates
rebels whom he curses in good Saxon. He is
not tender-footed on the slavery question, al
though he owns negroes He announces at
all times that he is ready to sacrifice them to
save our country. In fact he is just the man
that is entitled to your hand always.
Gilbert.-Brigadie General G. C. Gilbert,
now guarding the Louisville and Mash willie
railroad, is full six feet in hight, quite slim,
but very straight, he has sandy hair, and an
INEXPENSIVE face. In conversation he is very
confidential, but betrays NO great intellect OF
capacity. He is great friend of Buell., and
BY some hocus pocus arrangement of Buells
was placed in command of the Sd army corps,
when older generals were only in command Of
divisions. The thing run this way for some
time. but finally . development of the facts
stripped one star from his shoulder straps,
and Gilbert was left ont in the cold. His army
corps was divided between McCeok and Crit
tenden. and be given division to guard rail-
roads. This he will continue to do, hope fol
