This is a most ungeuerous and uncalled

ceeded in raising force fully competent to
drive the marauders from this part of the

the same. But when the Evansville jour-

resistance, we can understand how General
Boyle was mistaken.-Lou Journal
Why ungenerous and uncalled for ? Was
it good policy 70 withdraw troops from a
point where they had just been attacked,
and from point in the State where trait
ors and guerrillas are largely In the ma

Union men to be driven from their homes

Gen. Boyle raised large force in week,

1t is, moreover, in bad taste for the Lou

burg, when Louisville, with her $4,000 or

E4-By passengers on the Gen. Anderson
yesterday morning, we were informed that
the rebels had appeared in considerable
force on the river, opposite Mound City.
There is evidently desperate effor. being
made by the traitors to arouse Kentucky to
arms, throughout the whole extent Of The
State, in order to divert the army of Gen.
Buell. or Grant, from their purpose.
The raids must be put down by the citi-
sens of The border States and the loyal men
of Kentucky. We are able to crush out
these bands of marauders, aud we must do
it, while the grand army of the Ohio car
ries deliverance to the oppressed and perse-
cuted patriots of East Tennessee.
Let Ohio, Indiana aud Illinois, joined by
the loyal men Of Kentucky, fly X the old
flag, and pursue and kill and capfNre the
thieving gangs.

of the destruction of a train on the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, including the only
locomotive General Grant had, the killing
of several, and the capture of many Union
soldiers, including Col. McNichael, was
slightly Incorrect The train was not cap
tured, tie locomotive was not destroyed,
nobody on our side was killed, aud Colone
McMlchNel was not taken prisoner.
Uninportant as the errors are, we deem
it our duty nevertheless to correct them.-
The train was brought back safely to Mem
phis, and Col McMichsel is on duty as
usual.
