8 NEWS OF THE DK.
$ On Saturday evening nWs reached
: the city Of rebel raid in Khtueky, un
+ der John Morgan. which threatened
!. Louisville, Lexington, and Frankfort
This news caused much eeitement.-
: Troops was forwarded iom Camps
|. Chase and Dennison; and aarge num-
e Der of citizens Of Cincinnati Covingtor
and Newport shouldered thir muskets'
Over one hundred of the Plice OF this
city were among the volunteers. a
considerable number left fd Lexington
yesterday morning, and 9 additional
force was dispatched last tight. The
particulars of all the moyensnts, SO far
as II is deemed proper to make them
public, are given in another face. The
latest dispatch received firm Lexing-
ton up to the present wiring, states
that portion of Morgan's bree, about
four hundred strong, was { Nicholas
vile, twelve miles from thecity. The
rebels were supposed to beadvancing
by three different roads. General
Boyle, however, thinks that the inten-
ton is to attack Louisville. The reb-
els had possession Of the Telegraph
between Louisville and Frankfort, and
they would probably destrg the rail-
road bridges. 1t is to be Hoped that
Morgan may advance upon the river, SO
that the Union forces may get fair
chance at them. This force is various
ly estimated at from two tofour thous-
and. It no doubt gathers strength as
it moves through the country. The
proclamation issued by Morgan, to the
Secessionists, to rise, WIS not an i'm
promtu invitation. The plan was pre-
viously fully understood ty the sympa-
thizers throughout the Stae.
The news from General McClellan's
army, which we publish 6is morning,
under date of Fortress M,nroe, 18th,
has good deal of mystery about it.
1t is stated that the enemy had retreat
ed, and no rebel soldiers were to be
seen for some miles in frontof our pick
cts. 1t is limited that the enemy may
be heard from at some ether point.
Not improbable.
We have exciting news from Tennes-
see. While Gen. Buell. has been court
msrtialing officers and concliating reb-
els down at Huntsville, the enemy has
appeared at Murfreesboro', thirty-two
miles from Nashville, and taken the city,
a Michigan regiment. A
Minnesota regiment refused to surren-
der and had fought the rebels desper-
ately. Our Nashville dispatches state
that an attack on that city was appre-
hended, and that arrangements had been
made to burn it rather than surrender
to the rebels. Important demonstra- !
tions were also made at Corinth, by reb-
el cavalry. Taking the news from Ten
nessee, and putting it with that from
we find that, notwithstand-
ing the large army we have outside, a
few thousaed rebels are doing more
harm to Union men, within our lines,
than we have done to rebels with an
army of two hundred thousand. The
way things are working now, our regi-
ments are being gobbled up in detail,
while attempting to spread themselves
over an enemy's country. If we had
crushed the rebels as we went along,
this would not have occurred. We have
been "conciliating" them, and now we
are getting paid for our kindness. This,
however, will have the effect to bring
The Government to realizing sense of
The immediate necessity Of modifying
tender hearted Generals. and adopting
a new policy for the conduct of the war.
An extract is telegraphed from
Knoxville paper of the 4th, to the ef-
Tect that Gen. Buell. had crossed the
Tennessee river with thirty thousand
men. We have advices from our cor.
at Huntsville, Gen. Buell's
to the 9Th. The state
nent was certainly not correct at the
lime it was made.
The Senate on Saturday adopted the
Conference Committee report on the
Con6scation bill, and it now stands
passed. When signed by the Presi-
dent it will be a law. 1t is a severe
measure.
The Border State men had an in
.erview with the President, and they
held meeting Saturday night to draw
up an address to Mr.. Lincoln. We
infer that the President has at last re-
solved upon vigorous measures, it hav-
ing been made plain to him that in no
other way can the rebsllion be crushed.
When the Kentucky representatives
hear from their State and mingled with
heir constituents, they will get over
heir tenderness for rebels, and be
quite willing to sustain what they have
been opposing in Congress, as radical
There is no hope for Ken
lucky Union men, but in the success
Of the Government; and those who
have their eyes open see now, very
clearly, that the rosewater policy, if
longer pursued, must shipwreck the
nation.
Our Washington dispatch states that
The President invited the Southern
to conference, at which
be urged them to consider his scheme
Of compensated emancipation; inform
ing them that unless this was adopted
he necessities of the crisis would bring
