Words of Warning.

Ex Governor Neil S. Brown, of Tennessee
spoke Mt Union mass meeting in Columbia
u that State, on tho I'd ult., and warned
the rebels that their last hope of success il
destroyed. Ho said:

The President and Congress have bott
said emphatically. that they bad no wish &c
interfere with slavery, or to disturb the
rights of property. But at tho same time
tho President had intimated that he reserved
to himself to judge what might be a military
necessity IN the future, if the South persisted
in waging this war with stubborn opposition.
And. my word for it, rather than allow
the negroes to continue giving aid to the
Southern army, he will emancipshe every

AsHBY DEAD AT LAsT.-Gen. Fremont
telegraphs officially that the notorious
rebel cavalry officer, Gen. Ashby, was
killed at the last fight near Harrisonburg.
Ashby has figured very prominently
during the whole war in the Shenandoah
Valley, and 10 Gen, Banks campaign ne
was specially conspicuous. Every day.
almost, we heard of new skirmish with
"Ashby's Cavalry" and if half the num-
Der of his troops reported at different
times TO be killed were really and truly
slain, he must either have had an immense
force under him, or the continually thinned
ranks of his regiment must have been
very promptly recruited. Every day he
was routed twice a day his men scat
tered in confusion and three or four
times day he and they again appeared
in full festher-Ashby's Cavalry formed
Jackson's rear guard in bis various re-
treats they constituted his advance
guard in his different forward movements:
they turned up on each flank, ard they
appeared everywhere. 1t is to be hoped
that now that the force seems to be pretty
well broken up, and its commaner killed.
we will hear no more Of them or him.
Exit Ashby!-NsW York Times.

The Rebels Agents in Europe Snubbed

The intercepted correspondence of T.
Butler King. published here some weeks
since, has found it's way to England. and is
made the subject Of comment by the Lon

OF the rebel agents abroad give "a dismal
picture Of wasted energy, and of long
course of deceptive agitation gone through
to no purpose" and then raps the rebels
ovor the knuckles in this severe fashion (:

Simon Bolivar Buckner.

A late number Of the Nashville Union
has the following timely remarks in re.
lation to this blatant traitor:
"It is said that the rebel concern has
determined to release or exchange no
more prisoners until the Government will
give up Gen. Buckner. We hope that
this insolence will have no effect what
ever. and that our Government has too
much self-respect to suffer its policy TO be
dictated by the bullying Of the rebels
The release o! Buckner would be hailed
as God.send by every rebel in Ken
lucky. 1t would inspire them with fresh
zeal. That infamous villain is far better
acquainted with means and agents for in.
flcting harm in the cause of loyalty in
Kentucky. than any other man in the
State. lie has studied treason for years,
and has improved his internal art to a
high pitch. Itwould be a most pernicions
step to release This wretch. He is doubly
dyed with the guilt of rebellion, and o
the intensest hypocrisy, treachery and
perjury. He persuaded thousands Of the
sons OF Union parents ths: there would
be no crime or dishonor 10 serving to de-
fend the Government for the sake Of get
ting its arms and then turning traitor TO
it. He destroyed millions of dollars
worth Of public and private property, and
was the frst who blew up locks, tore down
dams. and burned railroad bridges. A
Mississippi officer told him on Green river
that if he wanted 10 destroy The public
property Of the people Of Kentucky, he
nigh, do it, but he would see him in hell
before he would suffer MississIppians to
assist him. We earnestly protest against
lis release on any terms. 10 the first
place it would be wrong and dangerous
TO release him, and in the second place il
would be allowing rebels to dictate TO our
Government. Let Buckner stay 10 prison
until the end Of the wal, and then be tried
for his crimes"

About the 18th of May, We commenced our

Though ragged and tired, our men looked
remarkably we'll. With good martial music
and the gallant Col. Buckley leading US. we
marched with proud step, feeling conf.
dent the 29ih would always be ready to
bring this Rebellion TO a speedy termination,
if hard marches and fighting would do it,
Our march across the mountains was verv
fatiguing, many of our men complaining in
jocOse manner about their old shoes sece-
ding from their feet. We were watched
closely by Rebel cavalry all along through
the mountains, after making their appear
ance on the adjacent hills, to observe our
position in line of march, thinking tboy
might have q chance to capture our baggage

baggage was placed in the center of each

not be given to tho gallant Captain. Hit

From the London Times, MAY 90
Europe "Perplexed" at the View Of the
Military Power of the Union,

The war in America is sweeping over
the land with the velocity and destructive.
ness OF a hurricane. and all the ordinary
feelings and pursuits OF men are absorbed
in ils vortex. Bulletins from the army
succeed each other with rapidly enough
10 satisfy even the appetite Of the New
York public, sharpened as 1t was with
twelve months' famine. The scale OF op
eralions is absolutely tremendous. The
Federals have 100000 men in arms, and
the army estimates actually for the pres.
ent year exceeds fl25, 900, 900 sterling.
These forces are no longer stationary. In
the East. as we'll as the West, they are so
actively engaged that every mail brings
us the intelligence Of battle. an attack
an advance, or a conquest. President
Lincoln was right enough. when in hi:
homely language he described this war a:
"big job" Itis about the biggest jot
Of the kind ever seen, no mere "ninety
days" business or temporary disturbance
The "insurrection" which Mr.. Seward
believed 10 be waning" at the close o.
last year. now covers half a continent with
desolation and havoc, and we are warned
that the battle known TO be imminent will
exceed in severity any hitherto fought.
The whole story is mystery as well as
a marvel. II is almost as hard 10 believe
whdt has occurred as TO imagine Ohat Wiil
ultimately happen. Twelve months have
changed ao untaxed Republic into two
military Confederacies, engaged in des
perate war with each other, and bur
dened already with debts exceeding il
charge the national debt Of Great Britain
The number Of men actually maintained
in arms is something incredible. From
population smaller than that Of thes
islands, the Northerncrs have not onl,
sent 700, 900 volunteers into the field, bu
have kept them there since last summer
No wonder that "trsde is paralyZed" ant
industry neglected. In fact, there is nov
but one trade in America, and that is tn
trade OF war. We know that il is traffi
which can never end in gain, but tn
Americans are embracing it with all it
costs and consequences, as the most en-
rapturing pnrsui. in the world. No diJ
fcaitieS dount one party. no defeats oppo
tie other, and, wAle oil Europe is per
plered at tile spectacle set before Il, Nea
York is enchanted With the position anc
prospects Of tie nation. 1t is at least
however, a satisfaction to- reflect that M
European Power can be blamed for an,
incident Of this dreadful war.
