News from Europe.

The last arrivals from Europe have
put an everlasting extinguisher upon
the hopes of the rebels for relief from
either England or France. Both those
countries are threatened with a famine
for bread, which is worse than the want
of cotton. The corn which is to keep,
at least, three millions of people from
starving, until harvest, is in the grana-
ries of the Free States. Members of
Parliament declare, i n their places, that
it is infinitely better to feed their oper-
atives when their factories stop for
want of cotton, than to GO to war with
the North, even if they could get cotton
by war, which they have sense enough
to know they could not. The danger
of intervention in favor of the rebels is,
therefore, past, we think. And GER
tainly when the news of our recent vic
tories reaches those countries, all thought
of such thing will be abandoned.

Feb. II, 1862.

Mr.. Editor-You have, no doubt, ere
this, seen many accounts of our trium-
phant and peacable entry of Bowling
Green, but l will, nevertheless, venture
to give you few items:
We set out from Green River early on
the morning of the 18th, but had pro-
eeed but a few miles when we found the
roads filed up fer miles with large tim:
Der; but the rebels had not calculated
upon Yankee ingenuity and enterprise,
for our Fusileers removed the blockade
in twinkling, and our troops were not
delayed FIVE minutes. From Horse
Cave to Cave City we found the decay
ing carcasses of horses and cattle in all
the ponds, (there are no creeks;) but in
this they only had their labor for their
pains, for we marched beyond them be-

Our Company were busily engaged
taking patients to the Hospital in Jack
son-the measels being the prevalent
disease. We have 27 cases in our Com
pany. This evening one of our men
died, Austin Crowell; this is the only
member of the Regiment that has died
since it was organized. Poor Fellow !!
His death cast a gloom over our Com
pany, that nothing but time and the
varied and excited life of soldier can
eface. 1t seemed hard that one so
amiable and inofensive should be taken
from US. One who physically seemed
capable of enduring the trials of the
service with the best of US. But
otis ever thus, It's ever thus, with all we love
The fairest, noblest, loveliest, are always first
to 60
His comrades did all they could to
take care of him, and his last hours
were watched over by as good nurses as
our Company afforded. This has been
one of those busy, though not pleasant
days.
Sunday, Feb 16th.-Another day OF
moving sick. Our Regimental Sur
geons have engaged large church and
a dwelling house in Jackson, and they
are both full. The good people OF
jackson are very kind and attentive,
particularly the ladies, who add SO much
to the comfort of tie sick room. Our
sick list remains about the same. Some
of our Company being convalescent, and
others just taken down.
Monday, Feb. 17th.-To-day our de-
ceased comrade was buried with the
customary military honors. 1t was a
drizzly, disagreeable day, and this, with
the thoughts of the bereaved ones at
home, tended to make everything seem
sad and drear.
Tuesday, Feb 1Sh.-Your correspon,
dent had the pleasure of being walked
u2 about midnight, with orders to have
everything in readiness to leave fol-
Portsmouth in an hour. Hurrah, what
life, marching orders puts into soldier
These orders were totally unexpected
but everybody seemed pleased, and the
boys few around wonderfully; rations
were packed; tents struck; knapsacks
shouldered, and away we went. FRS
went Co. A, yelling like wildcats. Their
Companies E, c, and l, in all four Com

and away we went in great spirits ane

bered by us boys; we had just com
menccd our active life as soldiers, ant
we expect to live fast during the mex
few moaths. We got to Portsmouth
about daylight, and were met there b.

At Cave City we saw the ruins of one
of the finest hotels in the country, as
we'll as several other fine buildings,
burned by order of General Hindman
because the inhabitants failed to inform
him of the entrance of lot of Yankee
! troops few days previous The rail
road track had been torn up in many
places, and the rails. piled on top of the
ties, which were set on fire, bending the
rails in the middle, and making them
useless.
The day was a most beautiful one, and
the weather was SO mild at night that it
was thought useless to put up tents, and
most ofthe troops, after partaking abun-
dautly of crackers aud coffee, sought
rest for their weary limbs, under their
blankets; but they had not consulted the
clork of the weather, for it showed
about two inches deep and turned very
cold before morning
Our cold blood was stirred up in the
morning by the unexpected news that
we were to march to Bowling Green that
day. Although we had not expected to
march SO far (23 miles) in one day, and
then attack an army behind m ost formi-
dable batteries, one soldier of which it
is said can whip five of US, we were very
much gratiied at the intelligence, and
the Eighth Brigade made the march in
seven hours-just in time to see the reb-
| els getting out of the way of the shells
thrown by Loomis Battery. The bal
ance of our army were thirteen miles
back, awaiting orders; but when Loomis
commenced shelling the departing reb-
els, supposing that battle was raging,
started forward on the double quick, but
arrived too late to see the show. was
ten miles back when the firing com
menced, and could distinctly hear it, and
see the smoke of the burning buildings
and bridges set on fire by the retreating
Secesh, who were in too big hurry to
shoot at US, and did not even take time
to couple all their cars together, leav-
ing us several loaded
In the evening the Eighth Brigade
took possession of the town. Martial
law was declared, and Col Stanley, of
the 18th Ohio, appointed Provost Mar
shal. We took an immense amount of
eatable plunder, one cannon, lot OF
small arms, and several prisoners.
Our Infantry is now quartered in the
town, and your correspondent last night
snoozed, and whistled Yankee Doodle
in the house occupied by General J ohm
son a few days ago.
| We have built bridge across the
river, and expect to be on our way tc
; Nashville to morrow.
| The country through which we passed
is very picturesque, and must be fine
region to live in in time of peace, as the
ground is rich and we'll titled. The
roads are excellent, and the dwellings
and churches costly and in'good order
much better than expected to find in
Slave State.
Bowling Green is about the size o
Athens, and before being partly burned
by the rebels, must have been one of tn,
most wealthy, and certainly the mos
beautiful town in the State, if not in th
West. Yours, truly,
CHARLIE.

pensions, interest and other direct costs,
could not be less than too thousand mil.
lions Of dollarsi The prostration of the
business Of the country, and the loss of
the productive labor Of tho six hundred
thousand volunteers, will amount to at
least four Thousand millions more, max
ing the inconceivable sum of sic thou
sand naiUions Of dollars, sacrifc<d upon
the bloody alter of this internal molock !!
IF ws could escape all other evils,
how much have We gained iu the mere
matter Of money, out of this grinding
oppression of the negro? True we
shared the spoils. And because we did
SO, it is mete and right that We take the
natural consequences. With one quarter
Of the above named sum, we could have
bought every slave in America at the
retail price of human aesh, in the man
markets Of the country. And with the
balands san Empire could have been
procured for them, where every family
ceuld have had home with all the com
forts Of life, to be.a blessing to them
selves aud the world. Such country
and such restitution was due to the
slaves for two centuries Of unrequited
toll by them and their ancestors. We
would not do this act of simple justice,
nor would we consent that they should
20 free. even without compensation for
the past. If one escaped from the
house ofabondage, he was hunted with
brute and human hounds, still more
british, back to his tasks and his tor
lures. Were we not growing rich upon
his toilf Aud was not everybody Who
declined to take part in the chase an
.AJolitionis9 ia atea.#
Well, We made the slaves work and
enriched ourselves, as We supposed, upon
the products of their toll, regardless Of
the teachings of history, that for every
violation of right there is in reserve a
righteous retributiou. We refused to
bless the world BY the example, and the
slaves by their freedom aud elevation,
| by means of this wealth, and it is swept
away in this hell-inspired conflict, in
which the passions of men may we'll
teach Demons now lessons, the arts Of
wickedness. " 81 81
When this war ends, if it ever ends,
it will find US stripped ofall we ever ex-
torted from the slaves, so that as finan-
cial operation, it is but another chapter
added to the history of all times, dem
onstra atiug that even worldly prosperity
cannot be built permanently upon injus.
! tiee.
Other aspects of this subject, as they
present themselves to our minds, viii

The occupation of Nashvil

1.-THE occupation of Nashville,
Tenn, by our forces, is fully confirmed.
Governor Harris and his rebel Legisla-
ture stole the State archieves and the
specie from the Banks, and fed to Mem
uhis. The rebels undertook to burn
the city, but the citizens resisted until
our forces arrived, and the rascals fed.
A vague report has been in circulation
that the rebels had retaken the city, but
we do not credit it,
