The Rebel Plan OF the Campaign How
Pope has Defeated it - The Army in
Safety A 4 SkirniSh.
From Correspondent New ork Tribune

FROM bOfFeSpOhuent New Ork tribune
wAsnrNGToN, Friday, Aug. -, lS02.
THE army of Virginia crossed the R4ppshsn-
nook on Tuesday. With its re-enlorcemeuts il
now ho'ds the northern bank Of that river,
guarding every torG hrtwoen Frederickshurg
and Warren,on Spriogs and holding, through.
out its whole line, positions of great strength
The railway bridge is believed TO be mpregns-
BILE by any force the enemy can send against r.,
The fords are all difficult for artillery, and all
easily defensible with limited forces. When
LETT Gen. Pope's headquarters yesterday eve
Mug, il was believed that no reason for alarm
any longer existed.
The rebel plan WAS simple and well conceiv-
ed. Johnston rapidly advanced his army by
straight line from GordonsvilIe to Washington,
aud put his columns in motion. Marching on
that line they were to turn the left flank Of
General Popes army on the Rapidan, and des
troy it. Still laarshiug on tnat line, they were
TO turn the right of Burnside's army at Freder-
icksbarg and destroy it. Then the road 10 Alex
andFia becomes public highway, for Mcclellan
would either be still on the Peninsula or out OF
reach on the river, Before he could arrive, the
decisive battle would have been fought at the
gates of the capital. The movement thus clear.
ly planned was promptly attempted. Why has
il failed?
There were two reasons: First, the battle Of
Cedar Mountain second, the instant and ad,
mirabe retreat of General Pope.
When Jackson crossed the Rapidsn and on
the sth of August, advanced in force toward
Culpepper, no led the advance of the Army ot
Richmond To him had been intrusted the duty
OF snnihilatiDg the Army of Virginia, the
strength of which he certainly underrated, The
desperate battle on the 9th, fought by part o
the forces of single corpse, brought Jackson
to a sudden stand, and he finally recro'sed the
Rapidan, to await the advance Of the approach
/ ing columns from GordOnsyille. The loss o
| that week was fatal 10 the rebel campaign.
But Gen. Pope, ipaexibly pursuing his pOr
pose at all risks, TO cover the retreat of scClel

THE DIFFERENCE.-A volunteer gets
one hundred dollars government bounty
twenty-five dollars Of it in advance; he
gets one months pay in advance and an
extra bounty of two dollars, making his
total advance pay forty dollars, he gets
from $13 to SO per month, and has a voice
in the selection of his officers, the choice
of his company and regiment, and an
equal chance with all others of his COM
pany and regiment for promotion
A drafted man receives no advance
pay or bounty; gets but 81 per month !;
has no choice in the selection of his com
pany or regiment, but is as likely to be
semitic fill up an old regiment in the field
as to be placed in new one; has no
voice in the selection of his officers, and
not solitary chance for promotion; in
deed, he is but machine in the hands of
those appointed to command him. This
difference between the volunteer and
drafted soldier is well understood. What
will you do, young men of Floyd county
wait to be drafted, or volunteer like
brave men2 We urge you to volunteer.

B9-The Legislature of Kentucky held
an extraordinary session on Sunday
night last and resolved to adjourn to
Louisville. The archives and all valua-
Bile property of the State were also re-
moved to that city, together with a large
amount of treasure from Richmond, Lex
ington and Frankfort t0o
The journal of Louisville appears to
be cool on the subject, and intimates no
fears but that the city will be successful

well placed. N
We believe General Boyle will do his
utmost to defend the city. Whether he
has the capacity to do so effectually re-

From the list Regiment.

We have received two letters in regard
to the list regiment One of them was
written Just before the evacuation and
surrender of Lexington. 1t is painful to
contemplate the misfortune of the gal
liant men composing that regiment 1t
has cast a general gloom over the whole
community. A great number of our
young men, and middle aged men were
members of the regiment, and their fate
excites the profoundest sorrow Ac-
cording to the statements of the letters
which we have, the regiment is almost
entirely destroyed and captured
A portion of its men were taken pris-
oners, and those which attempted to es-
cape were broken up into squads of from
twenty to fifty, and were scattered in
almost all directions.
Those who arrived at Lexington prior
to its surrender were Capt Allen, John
Chestnut, Peter Allen. Madison's two
sons and a young man by the name of
Sibley General Cruft was ON his horse
at Lexington prior to its capture, trying
to bring order out of chaos, but all was
confusion and alarm.
The rebel forces advanced rapidly on
Lexington, and probably captured the
squads of the list which were struggling
through the country We omitted to
state above that Sutler Thomas had also
reached Lexington and stated that many
of the Terre Haute boys were killed, but
did not mention any names. He states
also that many were taken prisoners
Capt Allen stated that Lieu.enants
Clifford and Smith were killed 1t is
also stated by one of our correspond
ents that Parke county company was
Utterly destroyed l-
| The regiment is almost total loss.
| We hope, however, that the loss in killed
may not prove so great as circumstances
lead us to suppose at present Many are
doubtless prisoners who were thought
killed. The excitement and confusion
was very great, and it wasss course very
difficult to arrive at the facts. We will
make public all the reliable news from
the regiment as fast as we get it. Our
correspondent will inform us of the
losses as rapidly as he can learn them. IS
The death of Colonel Topping was con-
irmed by General Cruft His body will

BB@ In another column will be found
an account of the part taken and suffered
by the list, Indiana in the late disaster
at Richmond Kentucky. From it, it will
be seen that it was indeed baptized in
blood and fire. In word it was nearly
annihilated
Among those who fell were both the
Lieutenants ofCaptain Aliens company,
from Terre Haute. His second Lieuten-
ant Smith left College and entered the
10th Indiana in which he served for a
year. He was a noble youth, beloved by
all who knew him. ..f.t
He was scarcely 81 years of age and
gave great promise for useful and bril-
liant career. Irsta
He fell bravely discharging his duty
and gave his life for the country he loved.

HEy- The news from Missouri for
several days past has been the only
bright spot in the history of 'the past
month. Tho guerrillas are having sor-
ry time of it, and have been frequently
brought to grief The last account from
there is regular Tid-3it 'Poindexter,
the notorious guerrilla chief, undertook
to play the spy, and was suddenly brought
up with round turn.
From Mississippi we have, too, CLEAN
oflighS, and 1T is consoling to learn that
the army of the Mississippi yet lives We
hepe that the rumor that Buell. has sue
oessfully resisted an attack by Bragg may
be confirmed, and if so, we should feel
like thanking Braxton for his kindness in
stirring Don Carlos up to showing his
mettle. If the Don will now, while his
blood is up, if it is up, push forward his
columns into East Tennessee and cut off
the retreat of Kirby Smith, and recover
Kentucky from the ruthless invader, he
will greatly crafty numerous friends and
weH-wishers out in this region.
That Kirby will go back bowling from
Cincinnati we have no doubt The whole
Northwest is sweeping down upon him,
