EARTHQUAxE.-On Sunday morning
last quite a severe shock of an earth
quake was felt at this place. 1t lasted
from three to five secondS--Erdnsvltte
Journal.
All in the editors Imagination, no
doubt He had Just heard of another
contemplated raid upon the city by the
rebels-in fact it has been continual
shaking and quaking with him for
months, for fear of being taken by Nor
gan or Johnson Poor fellow he is to
be pitied, but he has no right TO insinu-
ate that the whole town partake of his
shivering fears Vincennes Sam
As neither of the editors of the Jour
nal felt the shock, but received informa-
ton of it from others two days after the
occurrence, the green editor of the Sun
draws largely indeed on his imagination,
when he says we were frightened.
If Green has information that his
friends Johnson and Morgan contem-
plate raid on this city it has not reach
ed us. Indeed we never had the slight
est fear of either of them, as we have no
horses to steal
Green judges us by himself when he
thinks we are given to shaking and
quaking We don't shake or quake
worth darn. 1t is said, however, that
the sight of a federal uniform sets
/
Green's teeth to chattering.

and property-the former will abaadon
both to the ravages of our uuscrapulous
enemy 1t rs for Us to choose which we
will witness.
Rosecrans must faia in his purposes, or
the forces under Bragg prove entirely re-
creaut. We believe they need no assist
ancc, and know enough of their courage
to think that even bad generalship will
not be able to sacrifice our cause in that
section. North Alabama will be saved
a repetition of the outrages perpetrated
last winter. The threatened point in
that State is Mobile, where we expect a
discontinue of the enemy as signal as
that witnessed at Vicksburg. The Gov
ernor has ample means placed at his dis
p9sal, and full power to use the slave
population in erecting defences, etc, and
we learn the work is being vigorously
prosecuted. No fears are entertained by
those directly interested.
The department of the West is now I'M
der the supervision of General Joseph E.
Johnston. Upon his experience, skill
and patriotism the armies and the peo-
pie can rely. Let him have the hearty
cooperation of the latter, let our author
tiles develop the whole strength of the
country he is defending, and we need en-
terrain no fears. Much can be anticipa-
ted from him and his armies, but great
deal depends upon the people themselves
therefore let them remember 1t is tor
their homes the contest is being waged,
and prepare to make every sacrifice and
do their whole duty.

The War In Arlxansas--Attempt to
Drive Blunt from his Position at

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 7.-Advices from the
Southwest tonight say the enemy, under
Gems. Hindman and Marmaduke, twenty
five thousand strong, attempted to force
Gen. Blunt's position at Cane Hill, Ark,
yesterday, but were driven back This
morning they drove Blunts pickets three
miles, but on the arrival Of reinforce

opinion is that this demonstration is
made to cover their retreat, as they were
telling timber all night, probably to OBJ

VINO HAS LOST A STEAMBoAT?-We
find the following rebel dispatch in the
Grenada Appeal of the 22d:
"Col. Adam Johnsons cavalry made
a dash into Madisonville, Ky, last week,
killing forty Abolitionists and wounding
one hundred and fifty. The Abolition
lists fled to the Ohio River, but were pur-
sued. We succeeded in capturing three
steamboats,, and brought back forty
wdgon-loads of army supplies.
The steamboats,, we presume, were re
leased on parole, while the wagon-load'
of supplies were all in their eyes or i'm
agination. The fact is, Johnson and his
band have been rather scarce about Mad
isonville and all that region for some
time past. He don't seem to relish al
acquaintance with Lieut. Col johnson
any more than he does with Col. Foster
