Their probable Roure--Chnnce for n Bat-
tie.
Especial Dispatch to tho Cincinnati Ga1ette.l
LOUISVILLE, Oct. IA.
A son of Ex-Governor 0wsley, Of this
State, teleZraphed to Gen. Boyle this morn
ing that the rebels were retreating from
Camp Dick Robinson down the turnpike
toward Lancas ter, and so out to the Ten
nessee line. There are other combinations
of the statement, and little, if any doubt IS
now entertained of its truth. II Is be-
ieyed that there will be no delay in adopt
ing energetic measures to harrass their
retreat, though, if they are making as good
time as reported, it will be difficult to
come up with them. Unless unexpected
difficulties arise, within another week not
a foot of an armed rebel, unless native
guerrilla, will press the soil of Kentucky.
Everything, however, depends on prompt
pursuit.
The rebels have three routes for retreat,
one through Somerset, by the road OF which
| Zollicoffer invaded Kentucky last winter
one through Williamsburg, and third by
Cumberland Gap, which is not believed to
have been made wholly impossible. At
this season all these roads are in good con-
dition, and though rough, it is probable
they can carry off most of their trains on
them in safety.

A private letter, written at Centreville,
Va, and directed to a gentleman recently
connected with the army, states that Gen.
sigel is not in good health, and that if he
1.-THE GeneraD ais not shortly released
from active duty for few weeks, he will
sink under the continued assaults of fever,
exhaustion, and professional annoyance.
We are sorry to hear this, as there are but
few men in the army whose services would
be more missed.
Gen. sigel has written letter to the
President of the Committee for procuring
enlistments in Philadelphia, in which, after
speaking of the power and patriotism Of
the North, he adds:
M en- CORY that the same principles fOT
the defense of which entered the service,
may, perhaps, compel me to withdraw from
it; for no one shall say Of me that had
raised troops in my name, and then did
not look after them. It is my duty, at
/ least, to maintain obligations as long as
have the power to do so, and not silently
submit to measures which do not deem
justified.
"I have not resigned and hope the Gov
ernment will be just enough to save me
from this last step. But l have asked to be
relieved from my present command, and
to be placed in a position wherein can
make myself useful, if my well-foundedr
and, as believe, necessary complaints,
cannot find redress. These complaints
have, in some way, reached the public, and
are known to you. You may judge Of them
yourself.
alt is evident, therefore, thatitis neither
in my nor in the public interest that re-
cruiting should cease, and pray you to dc
all you possibly can to fill up our old regi'
ments. Your faithful friend,

respondence," which Mr.. Latham, Of California,
rising TO question Of privilege, had read in

record with the published correspondence.
CONCORD, N. H., Jan. 7, 1862.
DEAR Sir l have the honor to acknowledge
the reception Of your letter OF the 3Oth ultimO.
II could hardly have surprised you 10 learn
that I failed TO discover, in your official note,
desire to render me service. You will cS
cuse Inc u regard even the suggestion, from
source 10 eminent, that am a member If a
secret iedyue, The object of ohich Is 10 overthrow
this Government" as rather too grave to have
been sent of with a. little consideration as q
note OF rsbuks might have been addressed 10
a delinquent clerk Of one Of the Departments.
The writer of the anonymous letter, it seem',
was detected, and subsequently avOwed the
authorship" and yet am not advised whether
he disavows reference to me, or whether there
was an attempt 70 inculpate me in the di.cloS.
ure. These were the only facts connected
with him. his treason, or his confession. at all
material for me to know. suppose | am left
to infer the latter; because although my name
does not appear in the extract" to which my
attention was particularly called, you stilkstate
that an aspersion upon my " fair lame and 10y.
ally came into your hands.
think you will upon reflection, arrive at the
conclusion that the whole ground upon which
the allegation ia repealed should, as simple
act OF justice, havs been plac, before me.
II was not the manner of your official note
as you seem to suppose, Nor any form Of sd
a ,,k al,,p Il ri
OF wrong. These, whatever they may bavs
been, were not worthy Of serious notice. The
substance was what intended, as courteousl }
as could, but very distinctly, 10 rep'l.

SENATOR WADE.-We do not hear anything
within the last few days about the re election
Of the Hon. B. +. Wade to the Senate. We do
hope the Legislature Of Ohio will not do itself
the dishonor to adjourn without securing to the
country the eminent services rf that true and
tried friend Of right principles for another term
OF six years.
The Democracy prats much about sinking
party in patriotism. We do not find them will
ling, however, to siok anything unless by so
doing they can pop Democrat up. Certainly
no candid man will claim that Ohio has not a
fair Republican majority, nor that Senator
Wade is not the best possible representative Of
that majority that Ohio could send here, nor
still further that the Democratic members who
now hinder his election would have been there
but Tor the magnanimty Of the Republicans.
Then II the will Of the majority were TO be
consulted, and the Democracy were willing for
once to reciproca,e this magnanimity, in day
we might gladden. the country by announcing
this great Champion OF Freedom once more
chosen. How soon may we have this pleasure
