LOUISVILLE, Oct. I. g

LOUISVILLE OCI- - ".
Gen. Gilbert, with his corps, is at Lcb-
anon.
1t is supposed here by military men
that the whole rebel force is retreating to
HALLS Gap, few miles south of Grab
Orchard, where they intend to make q
stand.
The bridge at Shepardsville will be re-
built by Sunday.
Nearly all the bridges between us and
the rebels have been burned by them, and
some three weeks will elapse before they
can be reconstruction.
The story of the capture, by the reb-
els, near ElizabethtOwn, of four compa-
nies of Ohio Cavalry. last week. is un-
truo
Lexington is mostly evacuated by the
rebels, there is only about 100 there. The
rebels took, and sent to Camp Dick Rob
inson, 1000 bbls of pork from Chenault
& Co., packed on their eva account tn
for other parties, mostly seces sionists.
They also took ninety thousand dol
lars worth of jeans and Gnseys from
Scott & Co., which they have manufact-
ured into clothing.
The rebels paid for their goods in Con
federate scrip, unless the Owners refused
to receive it, in which eTent no consider
alton was given
Reliable individuals from Lexington,
who had conxersed with the rebel sold
iers, arc confident that battle must en-
sue before the rebels leave Kentucky
The rebel soldiers tell them they prefer
being killed or captured and parOled, rath-
er than march over the mountains again
This seems TO be the conclusion of the
rebel army

Blatant Liars.

The Sandusky Register very truly says: 1t
has got to be the fashion for a certain class
ofpartizans to talk about the oppression, the
tyranny, &c, of the Government. They charge
persecution, imprisonment, wrong and outrage
upon the rights of man and freedom of the
people, as great crimes being now committed
by the President and those in authority un-
der him. They do this, too. in terms the
most bitter, the most terrible which they can
conjure up or imagine They exhaust all the
precedents Of history, the reign of terror in
France, the tyranny of Nero, &c. Whatever
they can lay hold of to heighten or increase the
force OF their charges they resort 10.

The S.th REGIMENT

Col. Banning has been authorised
hv Gov. Tod to rcorganise the S1Ih
for frontier service. The State Jour
nal of yesterday says:
The companies will be mustered out
of service at Delaware during the
present week, and after a visit to
their homes and friends an opportunity
will then be offered to re-enter their
old regiment and we have no doubt
it will be rapidly filled up. This re-
giment, is well officered. and having
been ifr the service, those designing
to volunteer cannot do better than go
under the command of its gallant
officers.

most naked, when they reached the Ohio yet
they bore up with great forllnde, and ain
iainrd excellent spirits. The Cincinnati Com

there, and pretty soon one of Our business men
came in with strip of paper in his hand. He
asked if the editor was in; told him we thought
not; asked him if he wished to see him particu-

told him didn't believe he would be in;

TIE ELECTION .

Union men Of Delaware county, do
not fail to bear in remembrance the
fact that our annual election comes of
Tuesday next, and that the best inter
csts Of the country demands of every
one of you to do your part toward
the preservation of our glorious in
stitutions. While our brave volun-
teers are fighting for the good cause
in the field, those Of Us who remain
at home must do our work at the
polls, which is equally important
We must not flatter ourselves there is
to be no opposition to the Union
ticket. There is opposition-organ-
lied and systematic oppositiOn-and
a determined effort is being made to
compass our defeat. This must not
be permitted, and will not be unless
we arc criminally remiss in the dis
charge of our duty. A defeat of the
Union ticket in Ohio at this time
would be disastrous in the extreme
almost as disastrous as defeat of our
army in the field-and would be hail
cd by the rebels in arms and the dis
loyal everywhere as a verdict agaius
the war and the policy the Govern
ment is pursuing in its prosecu ton.
Let us rally as a man and defeat these
calculations. Let us show that
Unionism in Ohio means something,
and that the friends Of the cause can
not be caught mapping at SO momen-
tous a juncture as the present. We
implore every Union voter to turn
out at the polls and see to it that no
ballot is left undcpositcd that should
be in the box. Obey these injunc-
tion9, and glorious victory will
crown our efforts.

The Savannah (Ga) Republican gives an
account of a difficulty which occurred at Nal
vern Hill during the late battles before Rich
mond, between Generals Hill and Tombs-
Hill charged, in the presence of Toombs, that
his (Toombs) brigade would not fight, and
used other violent and offensive language with
regard to the brigade. After the battle
Toombs opened a correspondence with Hill,
demanding an apology. He refused to apollo
gizc and also refused to fight. Toombs there
upon denounced Hill as liar and coward at
the headquarters Of their superior officers, and
at other places in the camp.

There was considerable uneasiness manifest
ed by certain editors about the time the Gov
errors of the loyal States held their confer
euce at Altoona, lest they should attempt to
usurp the functions of the President, or at
least essay to dictate to him the line Of policy
he should pursue. The result has shown that
such fears were entirely groundless, No ef-
fort was made to interfere with the President
in the H1e Of policy he is pursuing or to die
tate different one. An thcir proceedings
were characterized by patriotic devotion to
the best interests of the country-and theie

Our Losses EXAGGERATED.- T.
DeEnis, Military Agent Of Indiana,
returned from SLaIpsburg on Satur-
day, and furnishes some valuable in
formation regarding the late battle
there.
Mr.. Dennis estimated our aggregate
losses at Sharrsburg at a still lower
figure than Surgeon General Ham
mond. He aggregated that the reb-
bells suffered much more than our men;
owing to the superiority Of the Union
troops in vigor, and the quality Of
their arms. He has procured and sent
forward 2,CG0 blankets, for the use Of
the Indiana troops there.

AFFaIRS Ii TEXAS.

The condition of Texas seems TO excite
increased interest. and many suggestions
have been made concerning tho course
which should be pursued towards that
State. 1t is known that Union senti-
ment largely prevails in the eastern por-
ton, and that the loyal citizens feel con
fidcnt that, with a little necessary aid
from the General Government, they can
restore a loyal State organization in Tex
as; but they desire mainly to do this
of themselves, and Ia their own way
Reports have prevailed here within few
days that Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay may pro-
baby proceed thither as Military Cover
nor, but whether or not these reports be
true, it is thought by many Texans that
such an arrangement would be less likely
to effect the restoration of Texas to the
Union than the management of affairs
among themselves, with one of their own
number acting in such a capacity. 1t
may not be, however, that any program
me has been determined on, regarding
Texas, hut the view here given is derived
from such source az to entitle it to re-
spect.
