LOUISVILLE, August 81 General RW.
johnson, Captain Turner of bis staff, and
Captain Ieabo of the % Indiana cavalry,
have arrived. They state that johnson
was compelled to surrender near Gallatin
on the 2lst instant, because bis force,
numbering about 700, after fighting
braveiy some time, became manageable
and finally ran, excepting about seventy
FIVE, who, with General johnson, Major
Wenfry, of the 9th Kentucky, and three
other officers were taken prisoners. The
federal loss was twenty-six killed, including
Lieut.. Wyncoop, OF the 7th PeDnsylva-
MIA cavalry, and two other officers Thirty
three were wounded. The rebel less nclud
ing several officers, was thirteen killed ard
four wounded. The federal prisoners were
well treated by Morgan, and liberated on
parole. Morgan's force was 1900 strong,
finely equipped and mounted, carrying
along printing materials with which they
regularly issue newspaper called the
Eidetts."

The following, from the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Times, will
show the reason of our not having any
truthful! account of what is TRANSPORTING en-
the Rappahannock:
The immense enterprise of the New York
press has met with admirable and astonishing
success. When the representatives, of all other
papers knew equally well, but were restrained
from mentioning, the movements of Gen. Nc.
Clelan. the New York papers could not resist
showing the world how much they were in ad.
vance Of all contemporaries. by publishing daily
accounts of the movement. commencing al
most with the very day that McClellan's ad
vance struck their tents.
The result of this has been that the authori.
ties have ordered that no news whatever shall
be telegraphed which has the slightest rea.
ton to war movements. If today we should
learn that Richmond were taken, jeff. Davi:
captured, and the whole Confederacy broken
into fragments, we could not give you the in
telligence. Neither the movements of the reb
els nor of our own trOOps-in short, not
word relative to war movements CT any kline
can be sent by telegraph.

10000 men, aud proceeded southwark
toward Linetown, where about $4,000 REQ.
els were lying under Armstrong. Price is

THE ABsRNTEEs FROM THE ARMY OF The
POTOMAC.
Some time since this correspondence
stated that it was matter of official con,
versation that the Army OF the Potomac
had been seriously weakened or reduced in
numbers by the wrongful and sometimes cor
rupt giving OF certificates Of disability to
soldiers by army surgeons. 1t seems that
between thirty and forty thousand men ard
officers were absent Cd sick leave at the date
of the series OF great battles before Rich
mond. This number exceeded by several
thousand all our losses in killed, wounded
and missing, end it is not doubted that the
mass of the absantees were 10 reality as tt
Tor Guty as tens Of thousands who fought
desperately for long week TO save the
Army Q! the Potomac from annihlation.
Hence the system of checks upon surgeons
which has been recently adopted at The War
Department to put g stop to the Ubiquitous
system Of granting sick leave, whereby The
efficiency Ct cur armies has been to a con.
siderable extent paralyZed.
THE NAVY GROG RATION.
The main reason OF the legislation OF COM
was the TACT that The service has eufl red
badly during the past year by The intem-
perance CT officers, NEST OF whom are ap.
p0lntees since the commencement Of the
