Looking at Bowling Green, and summing
up the facts that reach us in regard to the
preparations of the rebels to resist an adj.
vance At that point, we see other reasons
why Gen. Buell. may be inclined to move with
caution. The rebels are in strong position,
on high hills, behind entertainments of great
strength, which are daily becoming stronger
through the muscles of thousand slaves.
Cannon are mounting, reinforcements arriv-
ing, and everything possible is doing to make
a determined stand. The rebels arc terribly
in earnest there, as much SO as upon the
Potomac. Gen. Buell. knows very well that
il will require nerve ard strength to carry
that position by an attack in hont--a move
ment | do not expect to witness, for pre-
sumo he, like most men, is willing to walk
around a difficulty, rather than venture a
hazardous attempt to ride over it.
Another and later account says:
Gen. Buell. is universally popular and be-
licvcd invnciblc. Gen. Fcnnell anticipates
a great battle this week and an advance OF
Buelrs entire army into Tennessee within
thirty days. Arms and clothing are sent
along to equip the thousands Of loyal Tenn-
esseans, who are known to be ready to join
the army as soon as it reaches the State.

Hon II. w. English. Senator from Frc-

Price. made foray into Mckissock's Grove
in the Southern part Of Fremont county Oh
Tuesday morning of last week. About Il
dozen Of these outlaws proceeded at O'Clock
in the morning to the residence OF /. +. Flu
gift, nearly mile north of the State line
FIVE or six Of them entered the house and
struck Il light to assist them in their deprc-
dations. On awakening, Mr.. Fugitt. without
being observed. escaped into another room,
from which, after arming himself with gum
n returned. One OF the maraud rs cried out.
" the id black AbolitioniSt is going to
shoot us y and IN great alarm the whole
party. save one, beat hasty retreat from th,'
house. Mr.. Fugitt fired rs they turned to
retreat, and he thinks. although he does not
know certainly. that the shot from his gun
entered the back of one OF the villains. One
of the miscreantS remained, and at the same
time the gun exploded, he was in the act OF
pulling out drawer from the bureau. Think
ing he had but an empty gun to contend with,
he drew a revolver and fired, the ball taking
effect in the arm of MIR. Fugitt. lie fired a
second time. the ball passing through the
.rn. Mr.. F., although partially disabled,

asSailant, struck him n stvere blow on the

Mr.. John Mclean Collins, who has escaped
from Memphis, writes to the Cincinnati Ca
sstte an account of fearful oulrages which
he saw while there, from which we take this
extract:
HOn the 25th of April, 1851, l was arrest

dark and lOathaome dungeon, where the ac-
cHmulated filth of years rendered existence.

behests Of those who ruled the mob. One

and forty-three hung, because they refused
to take the oath Of allegiance to the South

plished young ladies this county can boast
of was stripped to the waist thirteen lashes
laid upon her back, and the right half OF her
head shaved, simply because she had pur-

lating herself that she would soon be in a
land Of freedom. These crimes, which make
the blood curdle in our veins, t'and rouse
Vengesncs blood alone can guell," were re-
garded as small matters by the Avalanche,
too insignificant to be noticed"

Richmond cannot hold out much longer.
NeCleIlan's army is pressing it from the east,
Mcdowell from the north, and Banks from
the northwest, while Fremont viii cut of its
communication with the southwest. Add to
all these cOnEerging forces, the passage of
the gunbosts up the James river, and Rich
mond may be considered doomed to a speedy
fall. The release of the Monitor, Galens,
Esugstuck and the gunbosts from duty at
Hampton Roads, has opened the passage to
Richmond, and, as We have been assured re-
Peatsdly By their newspapers, they fear moth.
ing 30 much as our gunbOats. It is highly prob
able that already the whole peninsula rebel
army is virtually cut of bY the gunboats be-
ing shove it and at the door OF Richmond.
At any rate the Stars and Stripes win soon
aost over the rebel capital.
When that city has fallen into our hands,
let the CRY be HOn to Charleston We have
now the means Of capturing With ease that
hot-bed Of rebellion. The Monitor and Ca
lena can run past FORT Sumter with no more
injury than if the fort was only .

matter to the irOn-elad, which can pass to

And then that same old Gag which Major
Anderson bore away from the scene of that
terrible commandment shall again be raised
