FROM TEE NORTH.

Public attention is attracted at this
time, to the situation of affairs at the
North, the elections coming off for the
next Congress. We have no doubt Of
the success of the ,Aholitionists, and
nothing to expect ifthe Democrats suc.
ceeded. In their divided councils, how.
ever, we may gather a good lesson, and
perhaps, reap q benefit. Bloodshed is
anticipated among the parties but the
central power, in its desperate struggle
to maintain itself, will leave no stone
unturned to accomplish that object
Officers, of the Army have been dismis-
. sed, and others incaroerated merely for
discussing the emancipation policy Of
Lincoln; and Mcclellan, who had al
ways declared he would not fight for it,
asissued a proclamation forbidding its
discussion in the ranks, under pain Of
Incarceration or desth. -.''' %.
In Ohio, Vallandigham, who, hovev-
er, is all sound and fury, has been de-
feated by Schenck, and we presume is
now silenced for a session, and yet he
may turn up a General. John Van
Buren,, in New York, with Seymour for
Governor, is battling hard for recon
struction; while there is third but in
significant party who cry out "peace, at
any price" However things may ap-
pear at present, the whole North will
subside into one strong and solid body
to subdue or exterminate the "rebels,"
neither of which they can ever accom-
plish, if, on our part, we meet them with
corresponding unity of sections, which
the signs'of the time now render prob
able.

SHAMEFUL NEeL1GENcE.-When Gen
Pope's army fell back from Warrenton
they left in barn, on the farm of Mr.
Shumate, near Warrenton Junction, q
very large amount Of army supplies
consisting chiefly of clothing, shoes, ETC.
Why these supplies were not removed
by the Confederate Quartermaster, OF
distributed to our needy soldiers, we
cannot tell. Perhaps our vigilant off.
GERS were not aware of the existence Of
these valuable spoils, although II we hear
that Mr.. Shumate communicated the
information to them. Be this as it may,
the goods have all been removed now,
for the Yankees sent down seventy aoag-
ons a few days ago and hauled away the
entire lot! This is an instance Of gross
neglect of duty, demanding rigid inves-
tigation.

From Nashville.

In Nashville there are, all told, 16
Federal regiments, averaging some 400
men tothe regiment. Gen. Negley is
still in command. Much. discomfort
prevails among the Yankee soldiers,
because of the scarcity of provisions
They have recently received but one ra-
ton of meat per week, and for some
time they have received no pay. Many
ofthem receive orders for clothing boots,
etc., upon the commissary department,
which, as soon as they receive, they
sell for anything they can get for them.
Discipline, too, is lax with the soldiers;
they are tolerated in many excesses,
while citizens are treated with great se-
verify. Since provisions have grown
scarce in Nashville, the houses of pri-
vate citizens are daily entered and rob-
bed of whatever can be found to eat, no
matter how small the quantity. ISL.
Andy johnson is still in Nashville,
but is much discouraged and chagrined
at his situation, The prevailing opin-
ion there was that the city would have
to be surrendered up to the Confede-
rates. Daily, the suffering for proyis-
ions becomes greater: among the; citi-
zens it has become already very great.
Unless it is evacuated soon, or relieved
in some way, the citizens must suffer
from outrages on the part of the sold
iers. But few days ago the house Of
one of the ladies of that city was set on
fire by the soldiers, and burnt to the
ground, and gentleman who attempted
to protect her was shot and killed. The
lady was then taken to Jail, but was re-
leased in day or two, the Yankees
having become satisfied with numbering
the gentleman and destroying her prop
erty. The city is in most deplorable
condition. What with the license CIV
en- to the brutal soldiery there, and
Oamt staring the citizens in the face,
the condition of the latter will soon be-
come terribles-Charleston Courier.

Details of the Battle in Kentucky.

! HARRoDsBURe, Ky, October TO-
Gen. Bragg's first Kentucky pitched
battle was fought on the 9th inst. at
Perryville, ten miles hence. The enc,
my had been following from Bardstown
in force, and also threatened Frankfort.
Withers' division was sent forward to
support Gen. Kirby Smith, while the
divisions of Cheatham, Buckner and
Anderson were countermarched to give
battle to the foe in the rear. Our hne
of battle was formed right and left of
Pike, and commanding the only acces-
sible route. <.-,
The fight was opened with artillery
at Ga. NJ. Gen. Bragg and Staff reached
the ground about 9 o'clock. At 4 o.
clock, disposition for fight was shown
on our right, which movement was a.
waited in force, and Cheatham and
Buckner posted to meet it. At 8 o.
clock, our troops advanced in splendid
line, with Gen. Bragg's order to push
along, the whole line to close quarters.
For one hour and a half the enemy
maintained his ground bravely, in the
face of a murderous fire of artillery and
musketry.
Our troops fought like heroes until
the enemy began to falter. With a
shout our boys moved forward and drove
the enemy three or four miles entirely
off the field. Meantime an attempt on
our left had been repulsed. We cap
tured twenty one pieces of artillery and
FIVE or six hundred prisoners. For
want of horses, only eight pieces were
brought off. The hereturns are not in but
our casualties are estimated at 1,500, SO
far as ascertained.
With one more division, the enemy
would have been destroyed. Night put
an end to the pursuit. The enemy's
loss is believed to be more than double
ours. Among their killed is General
jackson, and General Crittenden is re-
ported killed. Gen. Buell. is command
ing, and we have prisoners from five
divisions, making at least thirty thou
sand men. We fought with only twelve
thousand men.
Our army is in the highest spirits.
At Frankfort, the matter was soon end
ed. The enemy, under Gen. McCook,
} fled before Kirby Smith. Withers cut
off his rear, taking 700 prisoners and
IA wagons. Another battle is at hand.
Bragg's depot of supplies being me-
naced, he withdrew his army to protect
them. The enemy Immediately sent a
flag of truce for permission to bury their
dead. At daylight the next morning
after the fight, not even Yankee sur
geon was to be found on the field
Their wounded were all left.

of the State of South Carolina regard
ing the clothing and shoes of our brave
soldiers in the army. My plan would
be for the Governor Of the State of
South Carolina to levy a tax on each
taxpayer to raise the amount sufficient
to clothe and shoe the soldiers from
