Editor Cats City:
DEAR SIR-An expedition has just 70
turned from Saline County, under COM
mand Of Capt. Mcqueen, consisting Of
Company A and portion Of the State
troops, which has accomplished much in
giving quiet to that stronghold of rebels.
After receiving full information Of the
state of affairs in the county, the Captain
secured the county In all directions, and
secured the following prominent secesh
as prisoners 1t Col. v. Marmaduke,
1t. w. J. Dunn, A. b. Sicily, Jesee Da
Wis (who stole and burned the county
records), w. L. Patterson, G.. E. Patter-
son, DR.. NJ. Atwood, M. w. O'Banon,
Capt. P. Thompson prices Quarter
Mastery, r. Bailey, J. Isaacs, jas. Miller,
Mr.. Collier, Mr.. Teereman, and Mr.. Col
bert. These embrace nearly all the prom
inent traitors in the county Of Saline, and
the Union men all rejoice that traitors
are soon to get "their rights as they
swore months since they would die unless
they had 'their rights"
The Third Battalion has at last got into
the field, and are now on scout to Gin
ton and Usage Counties. ! am sorry to
add that w. G.. Andrews, of Co. A, is
completely paralyzed, from the effects of
an exhausting scout, having no use of
his arms or legs. He returns home on
the morning train. VIM. Pore, of the
same company, is in the hospital from
broken leg. These are both good and
prompt soldiers, and We all regret their
temporary loss to the company.
Yours

In recent article of ours, in the exer-

neighbor is guilty of the bad taste, not to

becoming personal abuse Of us, and finally
resorts to his usual strain Of self-glorify.

Treason TAinly Disguisea. .

The Dubuque Herald, the leading or
gan Of the conservative Democracy Of
Iowa, was at one time 50 bold in its full
mlDat'ons OF treason as to attract the
special attention Of the military authori-
ties at ST. Louis, as we'll as the civil au-
thorities Of the United States.
The Herald commenced by advocating
the sire In the rear" policy: then it ad.
yocated the policy of attaching Iowa to
the Southern Confectionery then it took
another shape and said:
"Were we in Mr.. Lincoln's confidence
we would advise the opening OF negetia-
tons 1t once with the seceden, and en-
deavor to make such treaties with them As
would secure to all the States free inter-
change of commodities among them, free
OF commercial restrictions, and, ii posi-
bic uniform rate Of imports by both gov
ernments upon commodities of foreign
growth and manufacture. Several other
matters Of not less importance might be
made the subjects Of treaty stipulations,
and when this was done the separate ex-
istence Of the seeded States should he
recognized drJare.- Dubuque Herald Of
March 23, 1861.

ton Tor arresting Geo. W. Jones and 9th.

The News from Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 7.-Gen. Gilbert, with
his corps, is at Lebanon. 1t is supposed here
by the military that the whole rebel force is
retreating to Halls Gap, few miles south of
Grab Orchard, where they intend to make a
stand. The bridge at Shepardsville will be
completed 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 reconstructed. The story
of the capture by the rebels, near Elizabeth
town, of three companies of Ohio cavalry,
last week, is untrue.
LOUISVILLE, Oct. 7-Midnight.-Lexing-
ton is mostly evacuated by the rebels. Only
about 100 are there. The rebels took and
sent to camp Dick Robinson, 1000 bbls. OF
pork from Chenault & Co., packed on their
own account, and for other parties, mostly
secessionists They also took $4,000 worth
of Jeans and linseys from Oldham, Scott Co.,
which they have manufactured into clothing.
The rebels paid for these goods in confederate
scrip, unless owners refused to receive it, in
which event no consideration was given.
Reliable individuals from Lexington, who
have conversed with rebel soldiers, are conf
dent that a battle must ensue before the rebels
leave Kentucky. Rebel soldiers tell them
they prefer being killed or captured and pa
rolled, rather than march over the mountains
again. This seems to be the conclusion of
the whole rebel army.

SCENE AT THE CAPIToL.-A large part of
the national capitol has been taken for sick
and wounded union soldiers. The senate
chamber, some of the rooms above, the pass
ages surrounding, the rotunda, the old and
new houses of representatives, are filled with
hospital cots. Some two thousand of our vol
unteers are there under medical treatment.
with nurses and attendants constantly passing
and ministering among them. On Sunday
last the chambers of both the senate and house
were visited by Mr.. j. A. Fowle and Miss
Rumsey, two volunteer nurses and singers,
who favored the inmates with number of
sweet and popular songs. The scene was
very interesting. Never had those places of
national legislation been so occupied before.
The strife ofparty was hushed. The brand of
sectional diScord was hushed. Spiritual hymns
and national airs whiled away the tedious mo-
ments of suffering patriots, laid on beds of
pain by their devotion to our country and our
flag Washington Republican,.

The News from Corinth.

CAIRO, Oct. As yet we can only state
the general results of the fighting at Corinth.
Skirmishing commenced, Tuesday last, and
there has been more or less fighting every day
since. The rebel loss is about 800 killed, and
from 1900 to 1900 wounded. We have 1900
prisoners at Corinth, and 800 on the Hatchie
river, and more are constantly coming in.
We have taken several thousand stand of
arms thrown away by the rebels in their flight
They are mostly new, and of English make.
Our loss is believed to be 800 killed and 1000
wounded. Many of the houses in town were
badly shattered by shot and shell.
On Sunday Gen. Ord drove the enemy five
miles over hills and through woods and val
leys, the rebels taking advantage of every
wood for their infantry, and every hill for
their artillery. The fight lasted seven hours.
The rebel Gen. Rogers was killed. General
Oglesby has died of wounds. Gen. Ord is
slightly wounded. Prisoners taken say their
effective force in the vicinity is 65,000 This
is probably an over-estimate, but it is certain
that they have outnumbered us two to one.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Capt. Ruark of the
schooner Statesman reports that the rebels
have succeeded in placing battery at Cock
pit Point on the Potomac, and Just before sun
set yesterday, one of our gunboats ran into
the Point and shelled the battery, entirely
destroying it. He thinks there must have
been considerable quantity of combustible
material in the immediate vicinity of the bat
terry, as there was a large fire burning nearly
all night. The captain of the schooner Eliza
Ann johnson, also arrived, reports that he
spoke schooner below Cockpit Point which
warned him not to go too near in, as the
steamer Georgia had been fired on, and was
told that our gunboats had run in and shelled
the rebels out, setting the place on fire. The
captain had heard firing during the afternoon,
and as he came up, he saw there our gun
boats lying out from the Point, and large
fire burning on shore.

shortly issue pamphlet containing the vari-
GUS decisions made relative to the subjects

Useful Order.
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
CAMP NEAR SHARPsBURG, MD, Oct. THE
attention of the officers and soldiers of the
army of the Potomac is called to general or
ders No. 1879, war department., Sept. 24th
1862, publishing to the army the presidents
proclamation of Sept. 22d. A proclamation
of such grave moment to the nation, officially
communicated to the army, affords to the gem
eral commanding an opportunity of defining
specifically to the officers and soldiers under
his command the relation borne by all persons
In the military service of the United States
towards the civil authorities of the govern
ment.
The constitution confdes to the civil au-
thortties legislation, judicial and executive
power. the power and duty of making ex-
pounding and executing the ordered laws
Armed forces are raised and supported simp-
ly to sustain the civil authorities, and are to
be held in strict subOrdinatiOn thereto in all
respects. This fundamental rule of our polit-
ical system is essential to the security OF our
republican institutions, and should be thor
Oughly understood and observed by every sol
der. The principle upon which and the OBJ
jects for which armies shall be employed in
suppressing rebellion, must be determined and
declared by the civil authorities and the chief
executive. who is charged with the admins
tration of national affairs, is the proper
and only source through which the
views and orders of the government can
be made known to the armies of the nation.
Discussions by officers and soldiers concern
ing measures determined upon and declared
by the government, when carried at all be-
yOnd the ordinary temperate and respectful
expression of opinion, tend greatly to impair
and destroy the discipline and efficiency of
troops by substituting spirit of political fac
ton for that firm, steady, and earnest support
of the authority of the government, which is
the highest duty of an American soldier. The
remedy for political errors, if any are COM
mitted, is to be found only in the action of the
people at the polls.
In thus calling the attention of this army to
the true relation between the soldiers and the
government, the general commanding merely
adverts to an evil against which it has been
thought advisable, during our whole history
to guard the armies of the republic. He will
not be considered by any right-minded person
as casting any reflection upon that loyalty and
good conduct which has been so fully illus
trated npon SO many battle fields. In carry
ing out all measures of public policy, this
army will of course be guided by the same
rules of mercy and christianity that have ever
controlled its conduct towards the defenceless.
