A dispatch from Bowling Green on
the 18th, referring to the capture of GAL
latin, Tenn. says John Morgan occupied
that place on the l2th, and captured a
train bound for Nashville, about o'clock
a. m, loaded with Government stores,
and sixty horses They took Col. Boone
and his whole command.
We have again to tender our thanks
to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, for their
prompt responses to the call of Gen. Boyle
for reinforcements. Many thousands of
noble soldiers have passed through our
city within the last ten days, and are now
stationed at points where they are long
ing to hear OF another rebel raid
--Atall proper points in Kentucky, the
United States military officers, by order
of Gen. Boyle, are levying contributions
upon the resident rebels to remunerate
the Union men robbed by the guerrillas.
This is the right policy, and it will>do
good. 1t will array against guerillaism
many thousands of rebel sympathizers in
kentucky who would otherwise hold out
every inducemcnt to Morgan, and such
as he, to make raids through our State.
We learn that the Cd Ohio cavalry
will be removed from Kansas into some
other ield-probably Kentucky--and that
Col. Doubleday will resume the command
again. We sincerely hope this is true.

Washington. August 49,
The New York Times Of this morning
says: In the various reports of the move
ments of the army of the Potomac the
explanation is simply that Mcclellan re-
manned till the last. That the Govern
ment kept giving prominence to his loca-
ton, while permitting nothing to be said
about that of his army. Approximations
begin to be expressed that the rebelr find
ing it impossible to pursue Mcclellan, for
want of transportation will suddenly con-
centrate, by means Of their railroads, at
Pope's front At Gordonsville, and make
desperate effort to oyerwhelm him before
support can now reach him. No fears
are expressed of danger from such plan,
but the probability Of its being attempted
e.uses the e1pectstion of speedy renewal
Of active operations beyond Culpeppcr.

Gov. Sprague sent letter to the war
meeting At Newport, r. l., on Monday,
in which after saving that the people not
in affluent circumstances are most deeply
interested in the speedy suppression of
the rebellion. inasmuch as they will suffer
most from the needful sacrifices, con-
tinues
"No white-glored handling will do
this. Strike him the onemy1 in his Vi
tai parts. And if the agents who are EN- :
ployed to do this are not up to the mark,
if they are not up to realizing sense of
their duties, let them fall. Let new men
and new agents occupy their places.
II am heartily sick and tired of spy
double policy. 1t has never succeeded
and never can, and it is far better to
acknowledge ourselves unfit for the great
privileges We have enjoyed. unfit to gov.
ern ourselves, unfit to be American citi-
zens, even better to make peace with the
enemy upon the hardest terms, aud count
ourselves towards and slaves, than first
to exhaust ourselves and then submit, as
we inevitably must, if We do. Forget,
then, all differences both among the peo.
pie and in the Government. Danish all

Hon. Alfred Ely spoke first and was fol-

The latter said he believed the rebellion
is greater now than six months ago, and
gave his views to show that SO far from
the resources of the enemy being less, they
are greater than they we're then. Every

Gen. Halleck placed himself right on
the record in favor of con6scation ana
emancipation some weeks ago. And now,
In General Order issued by Mcclellan
on the a2d of July, it seems that ne has
also taken very important step in ad-
vance. He pledges the military power of
the Government to the protection of all
slaves, employed by the army, in their
right to liberty, thus interpreting the
General Order, FROM the President through
the War Department, as charter of
freedom to all contrabands who shall rem
der service to their country. whether they
be slaves of loyal or of rebel masters.
Our contemporary published the head
line Of this article in jest not long ago,
but really, it is becoming serious mat.
ter now, that our Generals as we'll as the
masses Of the army, are proclaiming free
dom to the slaves.
General McClellan's order concludes
as follows:
"Since this army commenced active
operations persons of African descent.
including those held to service or labor
under the State laws, have always been
received, protected and employed, as la
borers at wages. Hereafter it shall be tho
duty of the Provost Marshal General to
cause the lists to be made of all persons
of African descent employed in this army
as laborers for military purposes. such
lists being made sufficiently accurate and
in detail to show from whom such person
shall have come.
"Persons SO subject and so employed
have always understood that after being
received into the military service of the
United States, in any capacity, they could
never be reclaimed by their former hold
ers. Except upon such understanding on
their part, the order Of the President us
to this class Of persons uould be inopera-
tire. The general commanding therefore
feels authorized to declare to ali such en-
ployes that they will receive permanent
military protection against any compulsory
return to condition of seryi.udo.
By command Of Maj. Gen. Mcclellan.

A-Our contemporary is very much dis
tressed because the course of the radicals

to be still bent on peace, by compromise,

less to have hard blows dealt against
them.
Here is an instance Of the way the

Day before yesterday party of guer-
rillas, supposed to belong to Falkner's
band, visited the house of an old man
named Gordon, suspected Of entertaining
Union sentiments, residing eight miles
southeast Of Jackson, Tenn, taking the
old man and his daughter prisoners. They
carried them to the nearest woods, and
tying the father to a tree, ten of the viii
lains successfully violated the daughter
Gordon was then hung by the neck to a
tree, and would have perished had not .
party of Federals OPPORTUNITY passed that
way, and rescued him from bis perilous
position before life became extinct.

- The VallandighAmmers want to
carry on this war against traitors in such
mild and gentesl style as not to hurt
their feelings, nor disturb the harmony
and good feeling existing in the early days

that our cotsmporay denounces the ''rsdi-

for their advocacy of the con6scation of
Rebel property and the employment and
emancipation Of the slaves of traison.-
Such = course, he insists, is exceedingly
