Surgeon T. r. w. JefIry, of the Ninth
Kentucky regiment, left Nashville on the
18th and arrived here on Sunday night
with two hundred discharged loyal SOL
diers. He reports that the health of the
whole of our troops at Nashville is rapid
ly improving, and that Gen. Negly is in
the best Of spirits in regard TO matters
generally, feeling entirely confident Of
his ability to defend the city against any
attack. The rebels were said to have
about two thousand infantry, four thous.
and cavalry, and two batteries at Muir
freesboro.
Surgeon Jeilry came under a flag of
truce, and met between Nashville and
Bowling Green three bands Of guerrillas,
numbering in all between two and three
hundred, but no mOlestation was offered.

GARTDALDI CANNOT CoME.--It appears
from letter written by Mr. 2. A. Tay-
Tor, an English Parliament-man. who
went to Spezzia TO see Garibaldi, that,
from the severity of the gallant leaders,
wounds, it is not likely he can even be
moved out Of his bed for long time.
The most serious injury is in his ankle,
and tits feared that il must terminate in
permanent lameness. Mr. Taylor is the
gentleman who, in the House Of Com
mons debate on American affairs on the
9th of August made an eloquent speech
in reply TO MFR. Lindsay's diatribes
against the Union, and eifectually ST.
fenced that notorious sympathizer with
"the so-called Southern Confedcracy."
He is the friend of good government and
freedom alhover the world.

elephant Hannibal, belonging to Van Am

20 a repast which cost somebody trile
over eighty dollars. An unfortunate
candy peddler, who follows the show,
had stocked his wagon with supply Of
delcacies wherewith he intended 10 coax
an unlimited amount of postage stamps
from the pockets Of rural young gentle
men, and had gone 20 the hotel stable for
his mobile steed, when Mr.. Hannibal at
tracted probably, by the odor of the
warm gingerbread, broke loose from his
fastenings, smashed the wagon to ilin-
ders, and gObbled down inless time than
il takes to read this paragraph, six thous-
and gingerbread cakes, seventy pounds

The grapevine at Murfreesboro' re.
ports that BRAGG has been superseded by
The rebel dynasty, in consequence of the
glorious collapse of his grand campaign
for the conquest Of Kentucky, and es-
pecially of Louisville, and that his sue
cessor is General JOSEPH T.. JoHNsToN
The story is not improbable, for BRAGG
is receiving storm of the fiereest CEN
sure, as our readers have already seen
by our copious extracts from leading
rebel newspapers, and captured private
correspondence. We are told that Off
GERS of the rebel army, who were at the
battle Of Chaplin Hill, and are now in
the vicinity of this city, state that it
was the promise of BRAGG and all his
Generals, and the universal belief Of his
army, that they would certainly conquer
and hold Kentucky permanently. Their
failure TO do so, has excited intense in
dignation against BRAGG, and disgust
with the service. The army found to its
sorrow, that instead Of a general well
come from the Kentucky people, only
few worthless yagabonds, who always
had been rebels, joined them, and that
instead of oonquering Kentucky, nothing
but a most inglorious retreat saved them
from total destruction.

There is one plain, glaring foet which
should convince every man Of sense thai
every rebel who accuses the free States
of desiring TO establish negro equality
tells a foolish and wilful falsehood. Il
is this White laboFers are a necessity in
the free States, and desirable class OF
citizens. White laborers in the cotton
States are not considered a desirable
class Of citizens by the large slaye-hold-
ers, who always look on them with ieal-
ousy and contempt The social and po-
Ktical rank Of the white laborer in the
free States is undoubtedly higher than il
is in the rebel States.

HOW THE REBELS KEEP UP THEIR SPIRITS.
The mass of the people in the South
have no abiding faith in the ultimate
success OF their cause, however streng
may be the profession Of their leaders 20
the contrary. This is shown in their adj
missions that the North has the power TO
overcome them, and, Furthermore, in their
want of confidence in their currency. two
dollars of which they will give for one
OF gold. The consequence Of this dis
trust in themselves is, that every reverse
met by them has the effect 70 dispirit
them. This the leaders understand, and
they have reduced to perfect science the
means Of keeping up the spirits of their
followers, and Of which lying is, of
course, the main element During the first
weeks of their Imprisonment the pris-
oners, new tO.the South and its customs.
were considerably dispirited by the cur
rent rumors relative to the doings and
prospects Of the Federal forces but ere
long they learned the reliance that il
was proper to place upon all such state
ments.
Their falsehoods would vary according
TO circumstances, most commonly being
exaggerated by something that had actu-
ally occurred. at one time France and
England were about to interfere, and had
already notified the government of their
intentions; at another time the Federal
Congress had had fare up, and ma
jority OF the members were about 20
again, the rebels had gained
great victory, resulting in the capture of
Federal army and half dozen Fede-
raj Generals. On another occasion, Nc
Clellan was captured, and his whole army
killed, routed or captured, and so sure
were the rebels of Atlanta of this glori-
ous result that they illuminated the town
and had general jubilee over the result.
And so the thing would go from falsehood
10 falsehood, from day to day, and from
week to week, believed by the ignorant
masses and of course assisting to "keep
up their spirits" and 10 swell the ranks

begun TO react, for now the people begin
