Commercial from Chaplain of the list O.
dated Fort Donelson. 25th, says, the reb-
els under Woodward, the same that took
Clarksvillc, made an attack on the Fort,
but were rcpulsed with the loss Of 80 kill
ed and wounded. Col. Woodward S
horse was killed under him. His saddle
and pistols are now in our possession.
The rebels sent a flag Of truce previous to
the attack, demanding the surrender. The
question was put to the officers, and every
man voted No! ...'
The cnemys force consisted Of 450 in =
fantry. 335 cavalry, and field pieces.
The fort was under command Of Mai
Hart, and four companies Of the list Ohio
Col. Rodney Mason's regiment.
The Commercials Lexington despatch
says: No occasion for alarm about Gen.
Morgan's position. A courier, just ar
rived, reports no fear of starvation. The
rebels are l5, 900 in front, and 1000 in
the rear, commanded by Bragg, Floyd,
Kirby, and Smith.
The Gdgette's Frankfort dispath says
an arrival from the Mountains brings
more cheering news. Gen. Morgan has
repulsed a large force Of rebels on the
other side of the Gap and has provisions
and forage enough tor thirty days. He
is in no danger. Col. Garard had sever
al skirmisheS with the enemy rcpulsini
them every time.

The Abolition Convention.

The Abol ton State Convention which met
at Columbus on Thursday last is reported to
have been very thinly attended, Many com
ties wcro not represented at all. We have
hoard of no delegates, either oppoiutcdor self.
constituted, from this county. The treasury
cormorants made every effort to get up a
large convention but it proved pitilbe fail
uro. They will now bend their whole onc!-
gos to secure the election OF such Members
of Congress as will carry out tho abolition
programme of tho present Congress. The
ticket and platform are as follows:
supreme Judgc-Franhlin 7. Backus.
Srcretarl of Satc--W. 3. Kcnnon.
Attorney .Goncral--C. N, OldS.
School Commissioner W, d, lIenkle,
Board OF Public WOrks--John b. Gregory.
Rcsolped. That we adhere to tho opinions
and principles put forth at the Union Conven.
tion held in Columbus September 9th, 1861.
RcsoiUed, That We have undiminishcd conf
dence in the National Executive in the con.
duct and prosecution of the war, and we
plodge to his support all the moral and phys.
ical power of the States.
Rcsoired, That the conduct OF the Executive
oi Ohio IN his efforts to aid in the vigorous
prosecution of the war, merits and receives
our unqualified appreciation.

OF our volunteer army in their enlistment il

NASHVILLE, Aug. 2l.-Ie>terday noon
CAPTAIN Atkinson, Of the 50th Indiana,
with twenty men in a stockadc at Edge

and guerrllas lie repulsed them three
times, killing Morgan'S Adjutatant and
seven prvates, and wounded eighteen
others, and finally, after three hour fight
ing, drove them off
Col Mason. of the list Ohio, the same
regiment denounced by Gen. Sherman for
cowardice at the battle Of Shloah, with
800 men and two cannon in strong en-.
renchmcnts, at Clarksville, surrendered
without resistance to the same number Of
gucrriIlas. The guerrilas were aided by
rebels who had taken the oath OF allie
glance.
A la'gc amount Of United States prop
erty was siezed.
One hundred slodicrs were captured by
gucnillas at Mouskow creek, near Edge
field Junction, and the bridge burned.
Gen. Nelson left Nashville for Louis
willie this morning.
Lieut.. Col. HifTern, of Indiana, has
been arrested for violating orders.
RussELvILL, Ky, Aug. 2l--All that is
known here Of the capture of Clarksvllle
is that Col Mason surrendered his whole
command to guerrilla force under A. H..
johnson, Woodward and Garth.
The most reliable reports represent
Mason's force at two hundred and ninety
and that Of the rebels from four hundred
to six hundred. Not a gun was fired.
Mason and his men were paroled and
went down the river.
Further information from Clasksville
shows the surrender the most disgracelul
and cowardly of the war.
The paroled prisoners were allowed to
carry off THEN horses and side arms. The
surrender was made to ar inferior force
of rebel cavalry.
Mason and Woodward made speeches
complimentiug each other.

Treason at Home.

The Evangelical Messenger, published
at Cleveland, Ohio, under date of July
20, 1862. has the following reasonable
language:
The remedy now for our political ills, is
not Cancellation, but conquest. We can
not concleate slavery any more than the
Devil, but we must conquer and suhjugate
both. and conquer must be followed, not
by a reconstruction of the Union; not by
patching Of tho Constitution; not by
compromise measures, but by a regenera-
ton Of Southern society, slavery must
perish.
Many of the revolutionary fathers
trainers of the Constitution, Madison and
Jefferson among the rest, have lived long
enough to sec their errors, aud to appr' :
hcnd with the clcarness of prescisionthe
disastrous conflict that was sure to arise

How Il GudgcOn was Caught.

One of the best jokes of the season is
the following. The Clarion { (Pa.) Dem.
ocrot published a couple of week ago the
following extract from Lincon's lnaug-
ural. without, however, naming the an
thor.
"Sappose you 90 to war; YOU CAN
NOT FIGHT ALWAYS. and when af-
ter much loss on both sides. and NO
GAIN ON EITHER. you cease f2hting
THE IDENTICAL OLD QUESTION
as 10 terms IF Intercourse ARE AGAIN
UPON YOU"
The week following. the Banner { a Re-
publican paper painted in ClariSn) came
out in an editorial and denounced the par
agraph as reasonable, and as in strict ac-
cordoncc with the teachings of the New
York Day Book! The poor blind dupe
was not posted.-Erchange.

and the crowd dispersed with faces as rue

Indian Barbaritics.

ST.. PAUL, Aug. 23.-Parties from the
Minnesota river reached here last night,
and state that scouts estimated the mum.
Der of whites already killed by the Sioux
Indians at 500. The opinion is basel
on the number of bodies discovered along
the roads and trails. 1t is believed that
all the missionaries are killed. The civ
iIized Indians exceed their savage breth-
rem in atrocities.
Mr. Premier, an interpreter, who has
spent most of his life among Indians, vol
unteered to go alone, trusting to his
knowledge of Indians and disguise to es,
cape detection. Dressed and painted
savage style he arrived at the upper agen-
cy in the night. Found the place liter
ally habitation of death. He visited all
the houses and saw former occupants ly-
ing dead. some on door steps, some inside,
others scattcrd in yards.
Went to the house of Hon. }. II. Brown
and recognized every member Of the fam
lily (eightecn in all. murdered. Visited
Beaver creek, and found so families fill.
ed. Went to every house and recognized
bodies, nearly all former inhabitants a,
mong them recognized at Agency were
n Givcns, and family; Mr.. Galbraith and
children; DR.. Wakefield, and family
John Todden's family; John and Edward
Mayner and two missionaries Rev. DR.
Williams and Rev. Mr.. Riggs.)
Ex Gov. Sihly is now marching tc
the relief of Fort Ridgely, and reports
the Sioux bands united in carrying on
concerted and desperate scheme, anC
says he will only be too happy to fine
powerful bands of Yankton and othcl
indians not united with them.
Mr.. Fcrnicr, the disguised Interpreter
rites Gov. Ramsy from Henderson, 2ls
saying he left Fort Ridgely at 5 a. NJ.
and there were then two Thousand indians
near Fort Rilgely and the wooden build
ings are burning. He thinks other tribes
are joining the Sioux, and present for
midable army.
A reliable letter faom Glencoe says til,
injury done by the stampede Of settlers
was immesc; another such scene Of wo
can hardly be found in the South, as il
Mcleod, Mecker, northern part of Sible,
and other counties.
In st. Paul and adjoining country, al
available horses being gathered up; al
sorts of weapons will be used by willn,
hands for immediate and summary pun
ishment of these audacious and rascal,
indians.

BOuutics TO Soldiers,

Bountcs to be paid by the Government to
new volunteers, it is stated, air cady amount
have been paid. These Of course are merely
the bountes paid by the national Government.
II is estimated that other bourtics paid by
State Governments, counties, towns, corpo.
rations, etc, will swell the amount expended
beyond the legitimate payment OF the sol
diers' wages and outfit in raising volunteers
under tho Presidents call for three hundred
thousand, to fifty millions.

Appearance of Locusts>

The seventeen year locnsts have made
their appearance in hordes in some parts
of Kansas. The grass is full Of holes
from which they have emerged, and their
crystal coats are lying around everywhere.
The air is vocal with ther music, and the
bushes are covered with them, In COM
panY with the ocusts are countless thou
sands of grasslloppers, and the ravages
of the combined armies begin to excite a
fear that vegetation along their line OF
march will be totally DESTROYED.

A Captain in the Burnell legion, in
Col. Simpsons regiment, was lying hid
in house by the railroad track, and
heard Gen. Stuart give positive orders to
spare Gen. McDoweIl's staff, and bag
gage-train; but seize Gen, Pope's, ana de-
stroy what was not of public Importance.
The order was implicitly obeyed; although
the wagons of Gen, Mcdowell and King
were close at hand, they were not disturb

turned ont. his Official papers sorted out
and carried off, his letters from his wife
and other private individuals strewn
over the ground or torn into bits.
The Fredericksburg correspondent OF

Musketry firing was heard this morn

NEw YopK, Aug. 25--Ihe Phila lei.
phia Press says Gen. Pope has fallen back
across the Rappahaunock, and made that
stream his line Of defense. The enemy is
in great force on the south bank, and had
made several Intellectual eilcrts to cross
and turn our left flank, at the same time
making demonstrations on our center.
Such disposition OF our army has been
made thet there need be no fears of farther
retreat.
Gen. Mcclellan has arrived with large
portion of his army, and it is believed has
assumed command Of both armies.
Fighting of desoutory character has
been going on for several days, and the
enemy has no doubt been repulsed at all
points by our batteries, though not with =
out some loss Of artillcry-men and hor-
ses.
During Thursday, heavy firing was
heard on the extreme left, and it was be-
leved that Gen. Reno rcpulscd the reb-
