IN KENTUCKY
THREATENED ATTACK ON
FORT HENRY
LAST NIGHTS REPORT.
FROM FORT MONROE.

Fort MONROE, Aug 10.
Last evening 16 Union officers, who have
been long incarcerated in Southern prisons,
arrived at Fortress Monroe.
They are from Salisbury, North Carolina,
and other Southern prisons, and came here
via Richmond, and make bitter complaints
Of their usage and hard fare. They left
for Washington this afternoon by special
boat.
The Richmond Examiner Of Aug. 10th,
says: We have no news Of interest from
the enemy on the south side.
The Petersburg Express, whose columns
for time teemed with the very latest from
City Point and innumerable other points
along the Peninsula, with the sad admis-
sion that we could learn nothing Of the
enemy's movements on the James river
yesterday. Where is the reliable free ne
gro? What has become of the man with
the strong eye glass who used to watch the
Yankees closely from the highest points in
Prince Georges? Have both these inval-
liable reporters gone the way of our cav
airy, who, since the last they obtained of
the enemy's quality have been content to
snuff the Yankees from afar.
The following is also from the Examiner
Of the 10th:
Two hundred wounded Yankees fell into
our hands at Cedar Greek and were con-
veyed to Charlottesville. The majority of
them are said TO be too seriously wounded
to warrant much expectation Of recovery.
There are among them dozen or more
commissioned officers. A Colonel has had
leg and arm amputated. The same paper
in speaking of the latest foreign news
claims the strongest sympathy Of France
and England. Buell. is announced to have
hung five respectable citizens Of the South
in retaliation for thedeath Of Gen. McCook.
This is declared to be brutal and bloody
murder. Fiendish acts are declared to
have been committed on the people and
property happening to be in the locality
of the attack on McCook Gen. Buell. be-
ing kown as one Of the most lenient of the
Yankee Generals, the fact proves that
these acts Of arson and hanging emanates
from headquarters. They allege outrages
upon widows and orphans, and upon the
privacy Of feeling of women, and whole
sale plunder and destruction. Something
must be done to put an end TO this inso-
lence-these greyious and insulting out
RACES.
We have the subjects upon which to in
flict the terrible retribution. The public
mind is convinced unless full and fierce re-
taliation is inflicted this system of murder
and outrage will continue to go on. How
can we hold demons in awe unless we treat
them as demons2
Speaking of the election in North Caro-
lima the Examiner claims the election of
Vance over johnson by 10000 to 10000
majority.
No important principles respecting the
settlement of the present war have been
decided upon.
Old Point Comfort presents lively scene,
being crowded with officers of every rank,
a few soldiers and several hundred suffers.
The harbor is also filed with steamers
and sehoOners, many Of the latter belong
ing to the suffers.
