Contradictory rumOrs Of the Move
ments Of Morgan.
Reported Surrender of 600 Federals.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 20.
The Journal of this city says the railroad
and trestle work near Muldraugh's Hill, on
the Louisville d Nashville Railroad, was de-
stroyed yesterday BY John Morgan's forces
The Journal expresses the opinion that Nor
gan will not advance to the Ohio river. Other
sources say that Morgan's forces that destroy
ed the trestle work were about $500. 600
federals opposed them, but after slight casual
ties our forces surrendered. Further particu-
lars are unknown.
Second Dispatch.-The Journals statement
of the capture Of cannon by the rebels is un-
true. Headquarters here up to IL O'clock this
morning have not been advised of the above
destruction of the railroad trestle work near
Mudraughs Hill, but circles usually reliable
affirm it with great positiveness. If the state
ment is true there will be no more railroad
communication between here and Nashville
for at least thirty days.

Hon. BYRON G. SToUT.--l1on. Byron
G. Stout has long been prominent and
trusted member of the republican party.
He was Speaker of the House in one Leg
islature, and is member of the present
State Senate. His position and antece-
dents all make him an important and
credible witness against the party and the
men with whom he acted.
Mr.. Stout, in the Senate, on the occa-
sion of the passage of Mr.. Withey's abo-
lition resolutions, did testify boldly and
honestly, and with an emphasis which has
awakened the ire of his late abolition as
sociates. He favored Mr.. Riley's substi-
tute, being the Crittenden resolution Of
the extra session, and in the course of his
speech declared some facts which are in
controvertible, and which 1--WE do not say
it in unkindness) We wish he, and Others
who now agree with him, had declared
long ago. He is reported by one Of the
organs Of his late party in this city, to
have denounced in bitter terms the idea
of confiscating the slaves Of rebels under
any possible contingency, and declared
that il would be a violation of the con-
stitution that no man should listen to for
a moment. He even minated that be-
tween this outrage upon the fundamental
principle Of our government, and the pres
ervation Of the Union, he should have
little to choose. During his Speech" con-
tinues the account from which we quote,
(which could have been delivered in
Charleston with perfect safety, he deliv-
cred violent philippe against our person
al liberty laws, declared they mere uncon-
Stitutional, md designed to defeat the fst-
gitive slave lar; declared that Michigan
was disloyal TO the Union, IN retaining
on her statute books, such acts, and con-
veying the intin,ation that she is only a
lille less guilty than the rebellious South.
ern States, and had By these ldos encour-
aged and provoked tie rebellion"
Every word of this is true, and no man
is moro familiar with the purposes of the
legislation of the republican party in this
State, than Mr.. Stout. He has aided &c
put the very laws he refers to upon the
statute book, and to keep them there
He knows whereof he speaks. We com
mend his expression to every loyal man

that notification is rebellion, and tina
