nauded bv experienced and courageous
officers, and we have every reason, in the
event of an attack, to anticipate favora-
bic results. Between the hour at which
we write and daylight, several regiments
of veteran troops will swell the columns
that now stand in lines of battle. ready
to meet the INVADERS and we anticipate,
not only a repulse Of the enemy, but a
signal victory over the rebels.
This is written under the impression
that the rebels will attack this morning.
The indications last evening seemed to
warrant this conclusion. If an attack is
not made to-day, it is believed it will not
be made at all upon our Notifications;
and it is probable there would be no fight
ing in this vicinity, unless our army
should assume the offensive The de-
monstrations in 'front.' however, may be
to cover an attempt, on the part of the
rebels, to cross the river above or below
the city; but this contingency Is embrac-
ed in thes defensive programme Of the
military authorities, and whether the
enemy make direct movement against
/ the city, or undertake to cross above or
below, they will be promptly met. In case
of cannonading this morning, then, let
/ the people keep cool.
There are. doubtless, great many
guns in the city that win not be used in
the ranks. These should be in readiness
for action, in case of emergency Gin.

Dr. Watson, member of the Senate
from Accomac and Northampton coun-
ties, was in the city yesterday. He repre-
sents that the policy Of the military au-
thorities and the operations of the re-
stored government has made every man
who is not Union man from principle,
a secessionist When the military first
appeared in DIR. Watson's district the
rebels were perfectly quiet, but when
they found they could do as they pleased
they became more bitter than ever. The
word Of rebel is taken with less allow
ance than the word of Union man. and
the consequence is that the Union men
have long since ceased to make COM
plants to the military authorities
The civil government is very little
better, if not worse The officers under
the restored government have all taken
the oath, but they are still secessionists
in their sympathies, and Union man
stands no chance with them Wheeling
LHtetligeRcer.
That's what's the matter" Where
ever our armies have gone into the enc
mys country, the policy has been to pro-
tect rebels and let Union men protect
themselves When, afterwards, the fed
eral troops were withdrawn, the rebels
oppressed and committed all manner of
outrages on the Union men, thus driving
men into apparent disloyalty for the sake
of this double protection This is the
true secret of the real or apparent una
nimity at the South. Let the govern
ment show determination to protect
loyal men everywhere, and to punish
traitors, and change will at once be
made manifest. We are confident thai
there are thousands in the South who are
at heart loyal to the government and the
old flag, who, if certain of protectio,n
would throw off the disguise they have
been compelled to assume for their per
sonal safety. Those men who, fol
months lived concealed in the caves
and mountains of East Tennessee ane
Alabama, can never become secession
lists at heart. The rebels have been a.
forded two-fold protection, the Uniol
men have had none. Let change b
made Of the policy, and the result canno
! be doubted.

heard from the Kentucky hills. This

would be unreasonable to expect people

SKULLDuGGERY. I'm looking over
the proceedings of the Butternut Con-
vention of Posey County, as they appear
in the State Sentinel, the following para

indorse the nomination made by Wander
burgh county of A. I. Whittlesey for the
State Senate, and NJ. S. Johnson for joint
Representative, and pledge to them our

Now, when did Vanderburgh county
nominate Mr. Whittlesey for the State
Senate? 1t was not done at the Baby
town Convention. When was it done?
There seems to have been little sharp
practice in this matter. Mr.. Whittlesey
nominated himself for the position, but
we have yet to learn that he is author

Order concerning Supplies to Drafted

The War Department has devolved
upon the Chief Mastering Officer the du-
ty Of providing for the subsistence of
the drafted militia, and has given the
following general Instructions:
The Commissioners for drafting, in
each county, viii, on the assembling of
the draft, at the county seat, appoint
lance corporal for every eight men, and
viii make fair and reasonable contracts

sist the men until their arrival at the
camp of rendezvous, and twenty-four
hours thereafter; copies of which con-
tracts, and duplicate bills, certified by
the Commissioner and by the United
States Mastering Officer, viii be sent to
the Commissary General for payment.
Experience shows that this can be done
for Is to 20 cents per day.
The Commissioner will accompany
the men to the camp, taking the control
of them, providing for their Transports
ton by railroad, or steamboat, when
| practicable; and where it is necessary to
march, he may provide a reasonable
amount oftransportatian for the provis-

meeting in our city, yesterday, Hon. Jo-
mas Martin, Representative from the
counties of Lyon and Livingston, in the
Kentucky Legislature. Mr. Martin is
an Incorporating Union man, of
fine physique, and excellent common
sense. The recent invasion ofhis State
by the.rebels under Kirby Smith, and
the guerrilla raids on the border has not
tended to soften his hatred and detesta-
ton of the Confederacy.
He has been commissioned to organ
ize the State guard in the counties of
Lyon, Livingston, and Crittenden, under
the recent law of the Legislature. We
are glad to see so many of the sterling
Union men of Kentucy giving their per-
sonal effort to rally the Union men of
Kentuc ky.
