The funeral of Col Fletcher Webster
took place in Marshfeld ON "Wednesday

coffin was deposited with the family whom

BY request of Peter Harvey, Esq, and

statesman's coffin was opened, and the
metallic cover of the glass removed. How
were the feelings of those personal friends

GuerTil.as ON Green River.

By the Steamer Lue Eaves, We received

man at Curdsville, KY, dated 10th inst,
informing US that his store was entered the
night before by band of GuerrilIas. and
piilaged. Nearly everything in it was sto-

to tbe gang which our boys are after, and
which they will yet capture, if the scoun-
drels keep together. The writer informs
us that if he could haze obtained any infor-
nation Of the intended visit ten hours be-
fore the marauders came, they would have
met with reception that would have sick

calls them, came in the night, when least

the midnight providers, was to get posses

THE finest in the State, but they were foilec
in this, the horses having been turned loose
before the scounirels could lay hands on

The exact ~hereabouts OF Gen. Buell. is
q matter of some doubt at present. He was
to have taken Chattanooga some weeks ago,
but probably has missed the road to that
important point, and has consequently not
come up to the expectations of some san
guine, and perhaps, unreasonable friends
Probably the moral effect of his policy, as
seen in the present condition of the locali-
ties through which he has passed, has en-
couraged him so, that be has discarded the
cannon and takeiAEp moral suasion. We
can only pray most devoutly for the success
of this policy, and hope that administering
the oath may settle this cruel war without
further bloodsbed. In the meantime we
would suggest to Gem Buell. thata few evil
minded persons failing to be Modified by
his humane course, may take il into their
heads to burn some railroad bridges,
and cut off his communication from
his supplies. Such things have been
done. A few meddlesome persons might
put him to some trouble by stopping his
supplies, and might force him to retreat in
gloriously from tie enemy, without accom-.
plishing all that was expected from SO fine
-an army. The Baltimore American speaks
of his wel-knowus hardness" but we
are so utterly ignorant of ell that pertains
to military STAIRS that we know not wheth-
er this may be considered complimentary
or not; if the former, Gen. Buell. may con-
slider himself the most popular officer in
the army, as this opinion of him is gener-
ally entertained. Mr.. Calhoun once spoke
of mastery inactivity" and we believe
that ali that is mastery in Gen. Buell. lies
in the talent of Nashville Union.
The Union forgels that Gen. Buell. has
had great deal to do in undoing what
Gen. Mitchell had already DONE. That Off
Ger had irritated some of the most amia-
Bile shroat-cuttiog secessionists, who fred
on bis troops from their houses, and it takes
time for even SO celebrated pacifcator as
Gen. Buell., to heal wounds of so aggravat-
ing character. Besides, his soldiers, I'M
mindful of the pacific and amiable DISPOSE
ton of their leader, and under the errone-
Gus impression that they are making war,
occasionally burn a fsnce rail or two be-
longing to some friendly rebel. OF course
ittskes time to SO pacify the injured indi-
vidual as to prevent his irritability from
assuming chronic form. sna
