BATTLE IN KENrucKY.-We have Just
received report of battle fought (Sat-
urday, 30th. near Richmond. Kentucky.
between force of Is. 900 or q. 600 rebels
and 5000 or 1900 Union troops. The
latter made several desperate stands; but
their gunners being nearly all killed, their
ammunition about exhausted, their lines
flanked, and Gen. Nelson. their couman-
der, wounded. they were compelled to re-
treat. The loss is heavy on both sides.
The Union troops were mostly new regi-
ments from Ohio and Indiana. who are
said to have fought like old veterans.
Gen. Wright. commander Of that De-
psrtment, and Gen. Lew. Wallace. have
gone to the scene of action, and fresh re-
giments are pouring down rapidly. We
may soon expect q good report from
them.
Great excitement prevails in Lexipg-

issued proclamation calling out the mi.
litia for home defence.

such regiments be accepted, armed. and

the President has declared this would not

to the contrary. We are told that every
negro in the State is being forced into the
service. Able-bodied white men have
about all gone to the war. and farmers
were compelled to employ negro laborsss.
But these men are being forced away to
enter the service. A farmer informs us
that . recruiting officer solicited . negro

but the negro replied that be did not want
to. The officer told him he would make
him do SO, and the next day sent two men,

- A refugee says the New York
Herald, good and true Union man, a
patriot of noble heart, was publicly exc
cuted in the city of Richmond at the Fair
Grounds on the 29th of April, mostly
through the influence of the blood-thirsty
articles in the Richmond Examiner. He
died heroically and in silence--an ashy
paleness alone revealing the horror of ap-
preaching death. When we thus see
how much it costs to be Union man in
secessia, is it surprising that Union de-
monstrations are not more frequent p
The prosecuted inhabitants want to feel
assured that the Federal Government is
able to extend to them that protection
which is due from it before they place
their necks in a haltar.
The same correspondent says there are
some 500 citizens of Richmond now lam
gushing in prison, for no other crime
than that of fidelity to the Stars and
Stripes. They await the capture of the
city by Mcclellan with the utmost impa-
tience. May the day of their deliverance
speedily dawn.

"INTERMEDDLING."

The Committee of the Democratic party of
Vermont have called State Convention,
addressed to those who believe the section
principles =" and intermeddling practices "
Of the Republican party tend to disunion,
and who think the Union can be restored
only by the adoption Of the conservative,
National principles of the Democratic party"
Now, this call is distinct enough in general,
but not in detail We should be glad to know,
what principles of the Republican party
are sectional2" Is it the principle that
Freedom is National and Slavery "section-
al ?" Is that "principle which the De-
mocracy of Vermont will condemn? If so,
we appeal to the courts of even the slave
States. We cite the decisions of the courts
of Kentucky, Louisiana and Georgia, and
many others, to prove that slavery is section
al-dependent wholly upon "local laws" for
its existence, and also numerous decisions of
the Supreme Court of the United States, not
including the extrajudicial decision in the
bred Scott case. We allude to the decis.
ions of Chief Justice Marshall, Virginia
Patriot and contemporary with Washington.
We allude to the decisions of that court when
it was pure and upright, and not the tool of
secessionists. Had the sentiment of the Ma
ton, even the legal sentiment, been fairly
represented upon the bench of the United
States court, the infamy of the bred Scott
decision would never have gone into history.
But the South had ruled with such a high
hand that they had actually succeeded in
getting majority of shareholders upon the
bench of the Supreme Court, although the
preponderance of population in the Free
States entitled them TO majority of its
members, in any fair, Democratic division of
officers. .-... -...
Indeed, as a matter of fact the shareholders
of the South have been intensely sectional"
and because they could not succeed in their
sectional designs by a popular vote, under
the provisions of the Constitution, they re-
belled against the government, and are now
engaged in an unholy attempt to overthrow
the Constitution and to build Slave Oligar-
chy upon its ruins. They concocted this rev.
oluiion more than thirty years ago. They
have used every endeayor 70 make Il suc-
cessful since. They fred upon Fort Sumter

THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1862.
BEAUREGARD.

If the dispatches are to be relied upon,
Gen. Beauregard has no idea Of disband-
ing his army, or of even dividing up his
command. He is reported to be at 0ko-
Iona with $4,000 troops. 1t is little
curious, however, that only two or three
days ago, Gen, Halleck was reported to
have entered Okolona without opposition.
This was probably mistake. He is now
said to be at Holly Springs, which is in
Marshall county, some 40 miles south of
the Tennessee line, and on the Columbus
& Grenada railroad, whilst Okolona is in
Monroe county, nearly 100 miles south
east of Holly Springs, and on the railroad
which leads from Corinth to Mobile. In
order to reach Okolona by railroad, Gen.
Halleck would be obliged to return to
Grand Junction, and thence to Corinth.-
If General Beauregard has really such
an army posted at Okolona asis represent
ed, we are at some loss to know what
course will be taken by General Halleck
Will he move against him? Or does Gen
Beauregard intend to remain there? L
so, can he subsist his army in that regioni
Suppose General Halleck condemns the
rebel force to inactivity by simply hold
ing his present position, will it not lead il
the end to the disbanding of Beauregard
army? In fact, it remains to be seel
whether more blood must flow in tina
region before the rebels are conquered.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

Camp Parapet, La, June 8, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR You will learn from this
that the Vermont Regiments have changed
their quarters since wrote you from Ship
Island. We left that barren, desolate place
the 18th Of May, and we are now about six
miles above New Orleans, where the rebels
had breastworks five miles long. When we
came in sight they run as usual, leaving thirty
cannon, all spiked but part of the guns
are as good as ever.
Fort Pike was taken by one battery and
part of the 9TH regiment, without firing a
gun. Where we are now, it is very pleasant,
but extremely hot, and any quantity of
Mosquitoes. We keep fires all night to
smoke them out, and to prevent them from
eating us up; this is a luxury you know
nothing of in good old Vermont We are
within forty rods of the father of waters, as it
is sometimes called. Gen. Phelps is here,
and Gen. Butler in the city recruiting men
to take our places, and send us home. The
officers say we will be at home in less than
three months. There is lots of slaves here
that have run away from their masters. They
are nearly starved out, and will do any thing
to get something to eat. We sent large
number OF them up the river to work on the
levee they did not Ike that much, but they
had to 60. Some of our boys went out and
took 20 bbls. of sugar from an old secesh
planter, so we have plenty of it to use now,

have had only one death in il since we or

last week, and it is a source Of much wonder
to the Southerners how We get along so well.
We live here like princes. From the slaves,
in exchange for our hard bread and meat we
have left from our rations, We get blackber-

vegetables, milk, molasses, Indian corn, or
anything in the shape of living. Don't think
we are in any danger of starving while we

for to-day we are as busy as can be filling

ready for move.
Yesterday we had TO move some OF our
cassons and guns nearly Julie through the
