nag~ We are informed that Judge r. r.
Williams, OF Msyfeld, Is a candidate for
Judge of the Appellate Court, for the 4th
Judicial District of Kentucky. This Dis
trict is a large one, and has hitherto been
considered very disloyal. The people of
that section can do much to remove this
stigma upon their patriotism by electing
Judge Williams by rousing majority. The
election comes off the FIRST Monday in Au-

sacrifices in his adherence to the cause of
the Union, and we shall be glad to learn
that his old friends and neighbors appreciate
his integrity. e5 a-aza $50 d

Bd We have carefully refrained from
noticing the movement of troops near this
city for week past. The public mind is
very much exercised as to the stragetic
movements of Gen. Buell.. Divisions and
brigades pass up and down the river in a
very mysterious manner, and the indica-
tons are that the vast army now afoat on
the Ohio is rowing about seeking whom it
may deVour. Where the unnumbered regi-
menta come from, or whittier they are
going is past finding out. The rebels will
doubtless find out in due time.

R A gentleman who had frequent con-
versations with the rebel prisoners captured
at Fort Donelson, inform us that numbers
of them expressed great sorrow at the
course they had taken, and avowed a de-
termination-if ever they were permitted
to return home-neyer again to be found
in arms against their government. When
asked what they were fighting for, many
Of them acknowledged it was not on ac-
count of the negroes, for they didn't own
a slave in the world. They charged their
sufferings and present condition upon the
political leaders, who had deluded them
with false stories and made them believe
lie."
We regret to say some of our regular
army officers manifest disposition to place
these poor mistaken men in close conGne-
ment, while the Infamous and traitorous
authors of their salsmities are suffered to
run at large on parole.

believe that all the members of this regi-

advises state that sixteen have been killed
and sixty wounded These figures may
not be correct, and We hope to be able to
state in few days that the loss is not so
great. 1t ia gratifying to the friends of

Gen. Tilghman, the former commander at
Fort Henry, has been removed from Padu-
cab to the Alton Penitentinry, where he
viii have an ample opportunity ofrehecting
upon the folly of his past course. The Sc
cesh of Paducah were inclined to Iionize the
rebel prisoner, and were actually taking up
a subscription to buy Tilghman a rebel uni
form. The ladies of Southern proclivities,
were uuremitting in their attentions to the
fallen hero, and Gen. Paine was obliged to
announce his determination to arrest Thigh
mans admirers before the thing could be
stopped. These facts coming to the ears of
Gen. Halleck, he forthwith ordered General
Tilghman Northward, where it is hoped he
will be surrounded by loyal influences.
This scoundrel Tilghman, who robbed the
Union men of the First District of Ken
lucky, of their cannon and small arms, and
who, next to Buckner, is responsible for the
invasion of Kentucky by rebel troops, puts
on number of airs since his capture. Al

The battle, for the most part, was fought
in forest, with thick underground be-
meath, and regiments acted mostly on the
principle of hitting head wherever it could
be found. Swarming on all sides of them,
they were not at loss to find them One
regiment was only driven from before them
when another sprung up TO take its place,
and there is hardly a regiment of the force
engaged but was opposed to triple its nnm-
bers. Thus went the tide of battle for five
hours-nOw gaining little, but upon the
whole obliged TO retire. Officers and men
dropped upon all sides. Field officers were
borne killed and wounded from the field,
and their next in command coolly took
their place and continued ike fight. Lieut.
Col. White of the 3Ist Lieut.-Col. Smith
of the 48th, Lieut.-Col Irwin of the goth
and Major Post of the 9Th Illinois, and
scores of company officers were killed,
calamity leading on their men.
Coils. Logan, Lawler and Ransom were
wounded but yet firm in their determine
ton never to yield.
And still with unyielding courage the
gallant IIlinoisians and Indianians would
not acknowledge themselves Vanquished.
When the last cartridge had been expended
and orders were given to retire for other
regiments to take their place, soldiers, grim
with smoke and powder, would angrily in

AIDES, steady advance was made, until by
dusk the ground which had been so holly
contested in the morning was ours again,
and once more the rebels were forced to
seek the protecting shadow of their earth
works.
The effect of these successes upon the ar
my was electrieal-six hours before, with
gunboats disabled and the enemy in pos
session of portion of the ground, the posi-
ton of affairs was gloomy indeed. But
now all was changed. Elated with victory,
and the knowledge that at last they had
obtained foothold in the enemys fortiica-
tons, and savage at the thought of the pri-
vations they had encountered, and at being
so long baked in the possession of their
prey officers and men alike clamored for
an Immediate assault that night.
Gen. Grant, however, mindful of the risks
attending such operation, even with
troops exhibiting sneh veteran Characters
tics as those under his command had dis
played, wisely postponed the final coup de
man till the coming of the morrow's
light.
What the morrow brought forth, and
how the rebels, worn out and dispirited by
the protracted beleaguerment, concluded to
give up their stronghold and lay down their
arms, IS already we'll known. The more
detailed particulars of the surrender of Fort
Donelson, and its Gordon of field works, the |
