Kentucky Rising.

Yesterday morning Capt. Jane, Gas.
tlemsn, Of Kentucky, passed through
here on his way to Corinth. He is just
from Lexington, in that State, and
brought out with him seventy men, all
we'll mounted, armed and equipped
having furnished themselves with their
outfit. His men are now at Chattan ooga,
while he has gone to Coru,h to see Nor
gan, to make arrangements for joining
his squadron.
Captain CastlemaL brough. his men
through Pound Gap, aud thence down
through East Tennessee. Nearly every
where through Kentucky they were vel.
| coined, greeted with cheers, and bid God
speed. They were entertained with n
lavish hand BY the people Of Kentucky,
who refused to receive any compensation.
In every place they found the spirit OF
the people aroused aud fully enlisted in
their feelings in favor Of the South. A
few Of the Lincoln Home Guards organ,
,zations still exist, but mos, Of them hav.
disbauded. The captain and his men
had two fights with them as they came
along. and whipped them badly both
times. lie brough, II Of these uone
Guards prisoners to Chattanooga.
He reports that large numbers Of Ken
tuckians are going off to join Humphrey
Marshall that no less than regiment
lately raised in the neighborhood of Lex
'ngten. and Owen, Henry, Bath aud 9TH

the State in small squads. 20 Ms not ,o

Capt. G says the crops in Kentucky
were never more promising, and tina,
provisions are abundant aud cheap -
Corn is worth twenty cents per bushel,
and other things in proportion.
We hope our government, will soou

The UNION FEELINo IN VIRGINIA.
Tho army correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes as follows:
Diligent inquiry could not establish tho
existence Of more than one Union man in
Williamsburg. And. inasmuch IA he has
made one Of our officers gift Of small
dsmask table spread, from which Magru-
der had drunk wine three evenings be-
fore. it is fair to presume ,ha, his profes-
sions Of Unionism are swindle. This

daytime could possibly discover ono
U",on man or one Union woman. The
article does not exist in this country.

Tho War News.

We may look upon the york which is
to terminate in the conquest, or success
fol defence OF the capita! Of the South, a.
aetuslly commenced. The torch of the
dsspot 10 nov near her temple door, and
his armed legion are within cannon range
OF the Executive mansion itself. The fro
qusnt skirmishes that have .aksu place,
aud are continually occurring, are but
the faint murmuripgs of the turbulent
storm that is soon to burst upon U.s.
There is no want Of confidence in the re-
salt. Tho general belief is, that our de-
fence will not only be sdccessful, but gIo.
rious. Our people are hopeful. and san.
guine and the Government, when it re-.
solved never to surrender the capital
without desperate resistance, did more
t. elevate itself in public estim alton than
anything it has accomplished since the
commencement Of the war.
The reports in reference to the skir.
Dishing that has taken place around the
city are, rs might be expected, various
and conflicting 81 much SO that no two
accounts concur. Even the exact locality
OF the fight Oh Saturday is difficult to de
termiue, 10 one not familiar with the re.
Yioa Of country where it occurred. Az
we'll NJ we have been able TO learn, the
engagement was near the Meadow
Bridge, over the Cbickshominy. and be
tween The Horse Swamp aud the mouth
Of Brooke creek. Our casualties in this
skirisish were slight, but we have no,
been able to obtain . list of them.
About Q o'clock another brisk engage
ment was commenced on the New
Bridge Road. near New Bridge, some
nine miles below the city. Our forces in
this 6ght consisted Of Semme.'s brigade,
composed Of the stb and 10th Louisiaux,
the 10Th Georgia, aud 18th Virginia reg
imsnts. The fret named regiment was
p'cksted At " near the bridge, and Was

Yesterday, n far ss We are informed,
matters were quiet along our entire lines,

which usually precedes the storm, it may
be that before this reaches the reader,
the salvos Of artillery and the rattle of

tios them TO maintain their calnness snd

Sovereignty of God in War.

After the tall Of Jerusalem, Titus ex.
claimed : "lt is manifes, that the AImigh.
y has fought for US. and has driven the
Jews from these towers, since neither the
u!mos, human force, nor that Of all tn.
engines in The world, could have effected
it," The student Of Scripture knows, far
better than Titus knew, with how much
truth these words we're spoken. His
success was the fulfmsnt Of foregoing
Propheciss-tbs redemption Of Divine
pledges to fight for him against a guilty
nation.
Now, the doctrine Of Providence as
'ures US, that God has as rsai . purpose
IN the present war, as in the war leading
10 the destruction OF Jerusalem. The
only difference 10, that the purpose was
declared in the one case, and ha. been
reserved in the ether among the secret
things which belong to God. He has
simply forsborns to announce His will
with regard 10 the issue Of the pending
conflict but that will abidss, supreme,
omnipotent has not abdica:ed the
tbrous-He has not laid aside the scep
ire Of his sovereignty.
