The REBEL Rour IN KKsTucKY.--

THE REBEL RoUT IN KESTUcKY.-A
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
mercisl, wiring from Columbia. Ky, give:
some further particulars of the rout of the
rebels after the Mill Spring battle:-
"The rebels admitted that they were
completely routed, and that Gen. Zollico-
fer was killed. On their way back to
Tennessee, there were fractional parts OF
brigades. going in body, and with some
order. but the remainder were going in
squads Of from one to twenty-five or more.
They passed my informant's house with
about 125 two-horse wagons, and four
pieces of artillery, under Gen. G. B.
Crittenden, and he was said to be drunk
They were throwing away everything that
impeded their fight, and were selling blank
cts at 81 20 apiece. and pistols (navy re-
volvers) at Sc and 81, in Tennessee OF
Georgia money. He says that about 500
cavalry went back on horses, the remainder
we're either captured, killed, or lost-a
least one-third Of the men who went back
were without guns or anything else, the
other two thirns bad their guns, and some
of them other articles all of them were in
great haste TO &c, along, and committed nc
depredaiions on their return, other than TO
take horses. or mules, or something TO eat
80 hungry were they, that they actually
eat the soap grease that his mother had laid
aside to make soap. The rebels say that
they lost in killed drowned and missing
from 200 to 1900. A large number were
drowned in crossing tue Cumberland river
and this is by other persons seeing their
bodies below Mill Spring in the river

CoSGREss.-But little Of interest is go
ing on in Congress, though they are be-
ginning to act upon measures .relaiine
to the national finances. On. Tuesday the
House went into committee Of the whole
on the Treasury Note Bill, and Mr., Nor
riD of this State made speech in which
he opposed Mr.. Spauldmg's measure. lie
did not think hostility would be OF such
long continuance, for with the melting of
the snow our army would march towards
the Gulf and crush the rebels. We can
close the war by TIE 3oth of July as well
as thirty years hence, thereby economising
blood as well as treasure. He would as
soon provide Chinese wooden guns for the
army as paper money. What we most need
is money. He objeeted to the bill because
of its utter impolicy and the consequence
Of its adoption would be the increased cost
of the war and an initiation Of the currency.

G7s' The remarks Of Mr.. McDougal Of
California on the expulsion Of Mr. Bright,
which may be found just preceding the
speech of Mr. johnson, are capital, and
should be read by a miserable few still left
among US, who can't control their sympathy
with treason. Mr.. McDongal is one of the
strongest of Democrats, but not bogus
one. Both he and Senator johnson are
democrats, and We call the attention Of a
certain few in this section, who pretend to
9 be democrats, 10 what they say. And after
they have read the remarks of these two
men, then we wish to ask the question,
which is the democrat, he who supports his
B Government and country, cordially and
without conditions, or he who baits, hesi-
tatcs, and in fact is more than half seces.

c. Oar readers will Of course peruse
the noble remarks of Senator johnson, OF
Tennessee, which will be found in another
column. We doubt if another man in
America has made such Sacrifices for his
country as The distinguished Senator from
Tennessee, who has so noby withstood,
with equal firmness, all brides and threats
of the traitors. BY other items in this pa
per, our readers will see how his property
has been coniiscatcd, and how his family
have to fee for their safety, and how their
dives are in constant peril. Thus is he tried,
as by frc--even as Abraham of old was
tried, when he was about to sacrifice his
son Isaac. During the delivery of his elo-
cqoent and patriotic speech, many of his au.
vdience, it is said, were deeply affected
On the abstract question Of slavery, we
might very likely differ with him, though
ae know little Of his views on that subject.
But this is Of no consequence. Indeed, it
may be that he would differ with majority
of the north on this matter, but the most
radical ani-slavery man who will not stand
to the last by such a man, is no patriot
He is thoroughly and Internationally for
the Union and government and is now vir-
tually an exile, awaiting the advance of our
army, that he may once more behold his
home and beloved family. The country
scaU stand by him, and we sincerely hope
that he may be the next president elected
from the southern states.

his paper, for which he has been tainted
by some of the papers, and in recent
speech in New York. Mr.. Garrison made
the fonowng reply:
The New York Journal of Commerce
says there seems 10 have taken place a
great and sudden change in my views-I no
longer place this motto at the head of my

A fugitive from Tennessee, who has late
ly arrived at Louisville, states that Parson
Brownlow is in very poor health, and it is
doubtful if he can live to reach the Union
lines, if the rebels should allow him to leave.
The home of Andy johnson, the gallant
senator from Tennessee, has been taken fer
hospital, his property coniscated, and in
order to save his mother from the most
fendish persecution, one of Johnson's sons
has taken the oath TO support the rebel
cause, or at least not to furnish aid and COM
fort to the federals. Another son is hiding
among the hills, and has been since last
December, looking with eager, longing eyes
for the approach of the federal forces and
relief from life of wretchedness.

REBEL PoLIcY.-A semi-ofIicial in De
Bows Review lays down the policy adopt
ed by the rebel leaders in conducting this
war. 1t is to act wholly on the defensive,
nj present; never to fight except when
they have an advantage over the enemy
to exhaust the North by delay, and then,
when the right moment comes, to strike at
Cincinnati. Philadelphia, and the Western
States. This IS a vel conceived plan. but
i, scarcely accords with the rebel boasts OF
their proves. To figh; only at advantage
is no, the way TO display that daring cour-
age which the South arrogates to itself. and

STONE BLooKADING IN 1Sl2.--It is a
fact that during the war of 1912 the Brit
ish naval commanders on Lake Champlain
according to Cooper's History of the
American Navy-atempted to fill up the
harbor of Otter Creek, by sinking several
vessels la,len with stone. The authors OF
this project were Sir James Provost, Lieu
tenant General de Rottenburg, Major Gen
eral Busbane, Bynes, Robinson and Powers,
and also Sir James Yeo, the commander Of
the fleet. Here is another proof that Eng
land--the London Times to the contrary
has not only meditated but perpetrated
the iniquity of blockading which that
paper reprobates with so much zeal and so
little regard to controverting historical date.

The Burlington Free Press says a lad
Of about eight years. son OF John Waters OF
that pleace, was killed on Saturday after
noon on the railroad track at the foot Of
Bank Street. The boy was sliding down
the steep bank this side of the track and
came in contact with a loaded hand-car on
the steep defending grade at that place.
The meeting was so sudden that it was i'm
possible to stop the car, and the lad was
killed outright. We understand that the
father is member of the regiment now in
camp in Rutland. The boys body was
caught by the car and carried along little
way, but was not mangled. When taken
up he was quite dead.
ENORMOUS YIELD OF PorAToEs.-The
Vergcnnes Vermonter says that that Mr..
n. G.. Needham of Ferrisburg, raised, last
year, 424 bushels of potatoes on one acre Of
land. 1t is a new kind, the Hawkins Po-
tato; should be planted early, on warm
land. Mr.. Needham says that the quality
OF the potatoe is excellent for about three
quarters oflhe year. We should advise
our farmers 10 try it, especially itthey have
warm land. but be sure and plant early, for
as this variety grows large,i it takes long
time for it to come to maturity.

JESSE ID. BRiGHr.-An effort is being
made in the Senate to expel Mr.. Bright,
which we trust will prove successful. The
main charge Of disloyalty brought against
him is founded on a letter which he wrote
to JET Davis. after he had become presi-
dent of the confederate government at
Montgomery, as follows:-
