The Battle Of Somerset.

The rout Of the rebels at Somerset,
Kentucky, is most brilliant success for
the federal arms. 1t places Kentucky en-
tirely in the hand OF the Government, ex-
eep,ing small part Of the south western
section Of the State, held by Gen, Johns n
at Bowling Green, and Polk at Columbus.
The official report which we print in anotll-
er column shows tlal the defeat was com.
pl ie in every particular. The rebel en-.
trenehments which have been fortified at
great expense and labor during the past
few weeks were abandoned, camp equip
page, stores, horses and arms fell into tile
hands Of our victorious army. Tie dead
ard wounded of the enemy were lcfi on

CAPT. DUpLEY-Seyeral conhCtin.
rumors having been ahoat as TO The cause
Of Capt. Dudley's arrest al Camp Griffin,
il may be well 10 state that we are in-
formed from perfectly reliable sources
that it originated IN a misunderstanding in
regard TO the time OF marching into camp
from picket duty. ii appears that the
picket corps is divided into three main il
visions the main reserve stationed III the
rear. the right and LETT reserve, stationed
il advance Of the main reserve, on the
right and lef. From the right and left
reserves the guards move 10 The oulppsls.
A company detailed for picket duty move
10 the main reserve, thence TO the other
reserves, and thence to the outposis, and
in due time move back again to camp, 1t
appears that Capt. Dudley, hy some mis-
understanding, moved short time too
soon from the main reserve back into
camp. The court martial has already
lranspircd, though the result is not yet
announced. The arrest appears TO have
originated ia misunderstanding OF orders,
and Is at best Sight a6idr. II is more
than likely that CAPT. d. viii be acquit-
ted but should he incur some slight re-
buke, rs a rvprimand or crnsure, he will
doubtless cheerfui'y submit to it, thereby
sustaining by his example that military
discipline Which Is the soul and secret Of
success. Cap. Dudley is an efficient Of.
fcrr, and AS might be expected, lie In.
the confidence Of his superior officers and
OF his command.
