Letter from the 18th Ohio Reg't
PARKERsBuRe, Va, AUG. 2lsT.
DEAR NEws:-,About one week ago.
while on Flat. Top Mt, the 18th Regt.
received marching orders. On Friday
morning, Aug. 18th, Gen. Cox's Divi.
sion evacuated Flat Top and took up
their march towards Charleston, a dis.
tance Of s5 miles, which we performed
in the space Of three days. AT Charles.
ton We we're joined by Col. Crooks
Brigade, from Iewisburg, and all
embarked on board the Steamers "Silver
Lake." "Glenwood," "Mary Cook" i"
"Goody- Friends" and Cricket, all des-
tined for this point, at which we arrived
last evening.
Gen. Cox has lately made three aps
peals to tho Secretary Of War TO be
transferred with his Division to the
Potomac, and learn that his last has
been granted. It has become evide mt
that the rebels are concentrating their
main force in the neighborhood Of
Richmond, and have recently withdrawn
the greater portion of their army from
the Kanawha to that point This being
the care, it was sa great expense and no
advantage for Gen. Cox's to army re main
at Flat. Top.
The Konawhn district Is now in com
mnnd of Col. Lightburn of the 4th Va,
Reg't, who will hold the Valley.
There are seven regiments here, all
from the Kanawha, awaiting transporta-
tion to Baltimore Wig the 18th, 23d,
29th, 30th, 36th, 44th Ohio. The 18th
will start tomorrow morning for that
city via the B. & o. r. II. Our future
destination is unknown, but the report
is prevalent through our camp that We
will not stop this side of Culpepper
county, at which point we will reinforce
Gen. Pope, who is now contending will
Jackson.
1t is great relief to the cold 18th
to leave the Kanawha Valley at last
and they are rejoicing that they ar,
going to the army of the Potomac. W
will probably pass through Washington
City, which will doubtless attract our
attention very much. This is YER
busy day in Camp, and l have hardly
time to write this: but I thought
would interest the friends of the 12tl
in Highland to know of our where
abouts. When We arrive at our desti
nation on the Potomac l will perhap
have som ething interesting to writ
you. All letters for the 18th shoul
be directed "via Parkcrsburg, Va"
Yours truly,
CHARLIE.

GUSBoATs FOR THE OuIo.-At the
solicitation Of citizens of Ohio, the Navy
Department has promised that heavy
force shall at once be put to work to f
up ten gunboats for exclusive use on
the Ohio river. The boats are to be
irou.plated in the most approved style
and to draw only two feet of water
Each boat is calculated to carry two
guns, and to be able to patrol the Ohio
river any whore from the mouth to
Pittsburg. These boats will be hurried
through, mounted, and put into commits
sion Immediately. 1t is believed that
when they are placed in the river, all
danger of guerrilla invasion will be at
an end.

GooD!-The Cincinnati Enquirer seems
to be slightly disturbed about the
Guerrilla war which has lately been
introduced into Kentucky and has de.
termined that it ought to be put down.
It's plan of doing up the job may be
fairly gathered from the concluding
paragraph of a briefarticIe in yesterday z
paper on the subject.
"The whole thing should be fro,onec
doion and severely reprobated by every
good citizen" This is slightly different
from General Buffers plan of putting
an end to the savage and barbarOu
style Of warfare. But then the En-.
qHirer draws everything mild which ha'
relation to the rebels, aud would b'
shocked no doubt at the hanging o.
shooting of GuerrillaS Great is con
ciliatiOul-[san. Reg.

McCook's Murder Fearfully Aveng~
ed.--One Hundred and Thirty
Four Rebels Bite the Dust.
A telegrapher, who has been opera
ting on the military liue in Northern
Alabama, states that the assassina tion
of the gallant MoCook was fearfully
avenged by the Ninth Ohio.
Soon after learning the facts their
Indignation amounted to frenzy, and
raising the cry of revenge, they seized
their muskets and ammunition and
breaking through all discipline, dashed
forth in parties in pursuit of the mur.
derers. The Rebel, who directed Me-
Cook into the ambush, and who was
arrested soon after the murder was taxi
en- from the guard, hung up between
two suplings, and riddled with bullets.
The adjoining town and plantation
houses we're leveled to the ground, and
every male Rebel found, shot or hung
Our informant states that one hundred
and thirty FIVE were known to have
been killed, including every Rebel sym
pathizcr in whole neighborhood thai
fell into the hands Of the frenzied Ninth
Ohio.
lie further states that the act hat
created the greatest terror among The
citizen guerrillas Of that section, and
they were going southwark as fast al
they could travel. Fearful as has beer
the revenge, the troops of the gallan
McCook are not yet satisfied. The,
demand to be led to battle, where, wad
ing thr ough fire and blood, they cal
make the heartless traitors, atone 70
the murder, of the best and mobiles
men that ever lived.

About three weeks ago, as we learn
by lady from Atlanta, a female Of
that place, reputed lady, made grossly
insulting remarks to Gen. Prentiss,
who is prisoner there. He made no
reply. but turhed his back upon her
contemptuousIy. For this an Atlanta
man, taking a company with him, went
and horse whipped the distinguished
prisoner. God grant our armies may
soon avense that and myriad other
outrages. Louisville Journal

No ExEMPrIaN.-The Columbus cor
respondentof the Cincinnati Conner.
ciaI says After diligent examination
of the statute books, the military au-
thorities decide that there is no law in
Ohio exempting any able-bodicd citi.
zen from military duty 10 tho time Of
war. Ministers of the gospel, fremen,
&c., are as liable to draft as "any other
man." The law does not prescribe any
particular rules upon the subject of
drafting, but it is suggested that the
Governor will adopt the New York rule,
sub dividing those subject to draft into
two classes--taking those under thirty
years of age for the first class.

BATTLE OF CEDAR MoUNTAIN.-As
the particulars of the recent battle al
Cedar Mountain come in, it appears
that the Twenty-svcnth Indiana, and
the Fifth Ohio, from Cincinnati, the
Seventh; from Cleveland, aud the Sixty
sixth, from prbana, bore the brunt Of
the action. They fought herOically
and deserve to be gratefully remembered
by their country.

Failure Of the English Corn Crops
The London Economist, the most ac.
.eurate authority Of its class in EDgland
has the following paragraph in its issue
Of July 20:
"The fair prospect ola 6ne and abun.
dant harvest, which, in the early part
Of the season, cheered the hearts OF
farmers, has now finally passed a,oay"
The importation Of foreign corn into
Great Britain, therefore, will be fully
equal to that in 1861, which (according
to a parliamentary return just issued on
motion Of Mr.. Caird, the most scien.
ti6c and successful of British ngrieul.
turists) was 15,79O,55l imperial quar-.
ters. We ImOy therefore, confidently
look to large orders for the purchase Of
our cereals, and largo reAux Of gold
during the present year. The quota
tion on the 26th ult. in London, fol
American and Canadian fancy brands,
was 29s. to 31s. for 1876 pounds.
