4 Coon ONE.-We have been told a
very good anecdote of lady living
in Williamson county, Tennessee,
which will bear giving to the pub
lie. AS the story runs, some halt
dozen Federal officers rode up TO her
house one evening and asked to be
furnished dinner. The lady replied
that dinner was over, and that she
was not able to cook another her.
self The officers answered that
she had several servant women a.
bout the house who could do the
cooking. "No," replied the lady,
my women have all got above their
business of late. They expect to
mary Federal officers very soon, and
| can do nothing with them" 1t is
needless to say that the officers
"skedaddled" without parley.-

A BRILLIANr AFFAIR.-On the

A BRILLIANT AfFAIR.-On the
morning OF the Sd Of August, At
Hughes ferry, on the L'Angullle.
Col. Parsohs, with his Texas regi
ment, made an attack on detach-
ment of sev veral hundred men Of the
lst Wisconsin cavalry, constituting
the rear of Curtis army. \ part Of
the regiment under 1t. Col. Burle-
son, went TO the rear of the enemy,
and forty-fve Of the Spy company,
under Lit, james got between the
enemy and the river. At sunrise
Parsons attacked the eli my in
front, who fought bravely for a
willie, but upon being charged by
BurIrson in their rear, fled or threw
down their arms.
The fruits OF the victory are three
six mule wagon loads OF ammuni-
ton, one OF arms, two ambulances
and one commissary wagon; sixty
federal soldiers, $50 negroes and 300
horses and mules--the negroes and
mules being stolen. Being within
six miles of u large force Of the en-
emy, Col. Parsons had to burn Is
wagons and the camp equipage Of
the enemy. We get these partlcu-
lars as we so to pressend have not
time to write more, except to say
that it was u splendid piece Of dasA,
and is highly creditable to the Tex,
ans. Our loss is two killed and
seven wounded. That of the ene-
my is very heavy, as the dead were
strewn over the field, and Major
Eggleston, in command of the fed
eral force, with other officers, were
kiIled.-Many of the negroes We're

REBEL PLANs-The Baltimore correspondent
Of the New York H9od, who has frequently
shown considerable familiarity with the plans OF
the traitors, writes that it is no part Of the pur-
pose Of the rebels to attempt to capture Wash
ingion, as the deiences Of that city they regard
as impregnable. They do, however, intend to
force the Union army far enough away from
Richmond to render their own capital safe, and
then. keeping a sufficient force in the neighbor-
hood OF Manassas and along the line Of the Rap
pahannock to repulse any advance OF federal
troops, the active campaign will be transferred
to Tennessee and Kentucky, with designs upon
Louisville and Cincinnati To this end it is
asserted that Beluregard has been actively en-
geged in getting ready an army of $50 900 men,
which he expects will be increased by 50, 900

least Offering reason for its faith. Yet these
men have been told time and again by politicians,
especially by those of the \. Y. HeraH stripe,
that this was not war against Slavery, but a
war for the Union. We had supposed that
this evasion Of the argument in favor Of oman
cipatlon as war measure, was mere political
lodge, but since Mr. Lincoln has taken it from
the sewer Of politics, and set it in the frame Of
a presidential letter, it gets an importance 1t
never had before But the people wilInot BE-
msled or deceived by it even now. They have
studied the varying phases u this contest Tor
themselves, and have formed intelligent judy
monts upon them, and upon tue men who have
acted in them and they will not, without loud
murmuring, be kept back much longer from the
shortest road to success. II the Union is saved
at all, hey believe it will be saved soon, ana by
nothing short Of the most desperate remedies.
They have spent about enough time, and trca-
sure and blood in going roand and preserving
Slavery, and now they are ready and demanding
to strike it down and remove the obstacle from
tie path Of our armies And those directing
the Government and managing rarmIes ought
to know that TINS people are get,ing terribly IN
earnest, and while with them tie paramount
object is to save the Union, they are rot 20
stupid or foolish as not to see that the attain

means, and Of means best adapted 10 the end
They are now inquiriug for the shortest way to
