Guerilias Repulsed In Kentucky.

1SDfANAPoLf, Nov. 9.-On Wednesday night
last, battalion of Col Shac Chords Regiment
9Th Kentucky Cavalry, commanded by Major
Holloway, was attacked by large force OF
guerillas, under command Of A. Fowler, on
Pond river, seven miles from Madisonvi
KY, on the Greenville road The attack was
CALAMITY met, and the rebels compelled TO re-
turn, with loss Of eight killed, including Col
Fowler, and large number of wounded and
several prisoners.
Fowler was one of the men who sent the flag
of truce 10 Henderson on Tuesday. and which
was 50 treacheroYsly violated by IN attempt to
carry out information of the strength and posi-
ton of the Union troops. The person in charge
OF the flag was named Winstead, and was
promptly arrested an d placed in Jail As a spy.
Learning the fate of their messenger, they
crossed the Ohio on Friday night, to West
Franklin, Ind, and carried away DR. Ham, a
peaceable citizen, whom they now hold as a
hostage for Winstead
A man named Scales. low but desperate
character. who has been particularly active in
arresting Union men and robbnS indiocri,ni-
nately, was desperately wounded, requiring
the amputation of his arm.
Adam johnson, who, like John Morgan,
seems TO like TO steal and plumber better than
10 fight, had, il seems, been with Fowler, but,
before the fight commenced, left for the oStpn =
sible purpose of bringing up reinforcemants,
but failed TO return until the fight was over
and his friends routed.

1t is the peculiar beauty of Christianity that it
recognizes all the institutions and relations of
human society rs it finds them, and in the pros
pect OF an eternal equality hereafter, seeks to re-
concle all men to the condit ons in which they
lind themselves during their short probation on
earth 1t would make men and wives more hap
py by incucating fidelity and mutual confidence
and affection; it would make families more happy
oy teaching love and reverence to children. and
gentle but firm exercise of authority to pa
rents; it would make both master and servant
more happy. by enjoining justice and kindness
upon the one and n willing obedience honesty
and hdelity upon the other; it would make ma
tions more happy, by teaching rulers to dispense
equal justice to all and inculcating upon the peo-
pie ready submission to the magistrates and the
laws; 1t would make all mankind more happy. by
pcrsuading them to Glove their neghbors as
themselves'-to be content in the position where
Providence has placed them, and "to do as they
would be done by" upon change of positions.
The Epistle ofPaul to Philemon gives us a beau
tiful picture of the relations which should exist
between Christian master and Christian slave
1t appears that Philemon, though STAKEHOLDER,
was devoted Christian, with u "church in his
house y Paul found in Rome 4 runaway slave
OF this devoted Christian, called Onesmus. and
and converted him to Christianity.
Though he needed his services in his captivity
he beemed it his duty to send him back to his
master with letter in which h e said:
"Perhnps he therefore departed for season,
that thou shouldest receive him forever; not now
as servant but above servant, brother be-
loved, especially to me, but how much more unto
thee, both in the flesh and in the Lord
Now suppose Philemon had had thousand
such servants, all members of the church, all con-
tented and happy in their gospel brotherhood
with their master, and that some Beecher or
Cheever, by preaching the modern doctrine that
slavery is y sin, had broken up this brotEeehoot
and sent its happy members to some ancien
Canada TO live on husks like the prodigal son, dt
you think Paul would have recognized him as
true Christian? He would have been more lik el,
to denounce him as the servant" Of him who
taught the happy inmates of Paradise that by eat
ing the forbidden fruit they would "becomc as
gods, knowing good and evil"
This letter is already so long that | must re-
serve some further views of the subject, with its
practical application for another communication

The ELEVATION OF RIVER BEDS. The sed-

THE ELEVATION OF RIVER BEDS The sed
iment washed down from the mountains dur
ing the winter floods and deposited in the
bed of the river has raised the bed of the
Yuba, at MarysvIle, ten feet above its form
or position, according to the Express. The
same causes have, no doubt, operated to
raise the beds Of the American and Sacra
mento rivers to great extent, q fact which
should be borne in mind by those contem-
plating leveeing. Owing to this filing up
process, the river cannot hold near as much
water as formerly, so comparatively small
rise will cause a great overflow. Until the
