WHAT We GOT AT BOWLING GREEN.--Our
success at Bowling Green, writes a correspon-
dent is much more important than al first sup
posed, viewing it merely in reference to what
property We have taken possession of. The
rebels did not destroy as much of thei: stores
as we imagined, but concealed them in various
places in the town and neighborhood, hoping
that they might escape the vigilant eyes OF our
quartermasters and cimmissares. But their
hopeS were vain. Such quantities of provi'-
ions of all sorts, -four, pork, &C., having been
found that we should have no difficulty in
subsiSting our army for considerable time,
even il we should recev no supplies whatever,
from the North In every imaginable place
these articles have been fonnd--up in garrets,
down in cellars in wells, in cisterus, in houses
belonging to professed Union men, and, indeed,
in every situation which any individual would
be apt to select as suitable for concealment.-
This organized system of hiding was not con-
fined to the town. A great many hundred bags
and barrels of corn were discovered concealed
in tie woods in the vicinity. 1t was astonlsn,
ing how speedily and surely these were hunted

The HOMESTEAD BILL--A correspondent OF
the New York Tribune of the 2Sth nit, says
the passage of the Homestead bill by major
ity of nearly one hundred, after the doubts
that hung over it month ago, was due in
great measure to the personal efforts of Mr..
Potter of Wisconsin,, and Messrs Aldrich and
Windom Of Minnesota, who made thorough
canvass of the House, urging it earnestly on
nearly every member.
The bill provides that on and after the first
of next January, any person 2l years OF age,
who is a citizen, or who has declared his inten-
tion to be SUCH and who shall enter upon the
land and cultivate it for five years, shall be en-
titled to 160 acres of land, upon the payment
of the Land Office fees and ten dollars to coy
er the expenses of survey. The same privil-
ege is accorded to all men who have been in
the military or naval service of the Govern
ment during the present war.
This last clause was appended to the bill
originally framed by Messrs. Aldrich aud Grow
for the purpose of putting an end to the Boun-
ty Land system, under which many frauds
have been perpetrated for the benefit of spec
ulators

General Rosencrans's Address,

To HIS OFFfCERs AND SoLpTERS.-ffhe following adj
dress has been issued the troops of the western de-
parment of Virginia by the commander of the federal
force:
Officers and soldiers of the department of western
Virginia: You have closed arduous campaign with
honor to yourselves and satisfaction to the country.
None but those who have been with you, have,
fully appreciate your trials and privations.
Your trials has been three-fod-Ovcr your own mex
perence the obstacles of nature, and the rebel forces
When our gallant young commander was called from
u.s. after the disaster of Bull Run this department was
left with less than fifteen thousand men to guard three
hundred miles of railroad and three hundred miles OF
frontier exposed to 'bushwackers and the forces OF
Gems. Floyd, Wise, and jackson. The northwestern
pass into it fortified and held, Cheat mountain
cured the rebel assaults there VIGOROUSLY ebeed and
the Kanawha valley occupied.
A march of II miles over bad roads brought you
upon Eoyds entrenched position, whence the rebel:
were dislodged and chased to Sewel. Finally your
patience and watching, put the traitor Floyd within youI
reach and though by precipitate retreat he escaped
your grasp yon have the substantial fruits of victory
Western Virginia belongs to herself and the invader
expelled from hersoi In the name of our commander
in-chef, and in my own, thank you.
But the country will expect, your commanding gener
al expects, still mere from you. A campaign without
a defeat, WITHOUT even check, must be ecipsed by
deeds of greater lustre.
To this end | now call upon you for your future
honor devote yourselves in all that pertains to drill
instruction aud discipline. Let every officer and every
soldier be emulous teach and learn the rngs ligh
infantry drill, guard duty, company discipline an,
police.
Your commanding general proposes oprocure foryo'
everything necessary to prepare you for your comm:
work, and will soon organise boards of examiners Wit
will rid the service of the disgrace and soldiers of tn
incubus of incompctentand worthless officers who hot
the positions and receive the pay without having the vii
the capacity to perform the duties of their positions
Remember you fighting for your country, for you
flag, for your homes.
Your enemies are implacahle in their hatred of you
there is measure Of alsehood which they have no
resorted to baeken your good name and their leaders
Beaaregardaud JEFF. Davis have dared even in soem
proeamations to calumniate you, charging you wit
crimes you abhor From these you have nothin
to expect You must prepare to teach them, not enl
lessons of magnanimty and forbearance towards tn
unarmed and defenseess but thrust their caumnie
and their boasugs down their traitorous Threats.
Let not moment be lostin your preparations for tn
task now before you.
