From Louisville.
Nashville Besiesed---Stlrvat
impending.
LOUISVILLE. Oct. q

LOUISVILLE, Oct. Il.
We have received to day Nashville
papers of the 23d inst. The city is
completely cut off from the surrounding g
country by bands Of rebel guerrillas,
and marketing is beyond the reach of
people in ordinary circumstances
Meat can be obtained, but vegetables,
butter, cheese and eggs sell at such high
rates that few can buy them.
A foraging expedition, sent out on
the 21st, visited the plantation of Gen
eral ID. s. Donelson, in Sumner Co.,
who is in the rebel service, and an ad-
joining farm, getting as much subsist-
ence as it could bring away; indeed,
taking everything belonging to General
Donelson excepting the overseer and
negroes-eonsisting Of over three hun
dred cattle, three hundred sheep, three
hundred hogs and turkeys, chickens,
NC, in abundance; besides six hundred
wagon loads of corn, oats, &c, which
they took into Nashville perfectly safe.
The people in Nashville are in state
of starvation. Tea is worth S. pound,
and little at that; beef, 30 cents pound;
common brown sugar, 81 pound;
-four, 50 barrel. Everything in the
grocery line sells in like proportion
On Thursday an expedition was sent
out on the Murfreesboro Pike, with the
purpose of having a brush with the
rebels, reported in the vicinity. IN
stead Of finding nything, they were
greeted heartily with loud cheers from
200 loyal East Tennesseans, who had
been secreted in the mountains, and
were making their way to join Negley S
forces. They entered Nashville with
the expedition, and were received with
loud cheers of welcome.
\ spy was caught by the Federal
pickets while attempting to pass through
our lines, and brought back to head
quarters. On his person was found a
roll of parchment containing names of
250 citizens who were armed and ready,
at any moment the Confederates might
make an attack upon the city, to rise
and assist in driving the Federals from
the city.
Gen. Negley at once seized all the
arms in Nashville and sent the spy to
the penitentiary. Gen. Negley, in
command Of the post, at Nashville, is
sued orders on the 2lst to all citizens
to deliver up Immediately all arms and
ammunition to headquarters. Refusal
will be deemed evidence of disloyalty,
and those refusing will be severely
punished.
Southern currency is exchanged in
Nashville for Treasury Notes at the
following rates of discount; Union,
State and Planters, II per cent; Bank
Of Chattanooga, Southern and Bank of
Memphis, 40 per cent; Bank of Nash
vile, 35 per cent; Northern Bank and
Bank Of Middleton, 80 per cent.

The Appeal of tho Women TO the Presi-
dent.


Eight thousand signatures have been
appended to the following appeal from
the women of the loyal States to the
President, praying for ths removal Of
incompetent army off GERS:
To the President ofhc Usite,l Suites:
We, the undersigned, women Of the
United States, who have freely given
our brothers, sons and hus5rnls to fl ght
for their country in this deadly struggle,
and who will seek every opportunity to
aid, cheer and uphold them to the end
seeing our army, the flower and hope
of the land, exposed to needless danger
and suferings--do hereby ask of you,
Abraham Lincoln, that you, as chief
ruler of this nation, see to it that the
strength which is needed against tn e
enemy be not wasted by a foe within
and that you cause all negligent, incom-
petent. drunken or knavish men, who,
in the first hurry of selection, obtained
for themselves weighty charges and re
sponsibility, to be at once sought and
dismissed, and that you give our pre-
cious soldiers in keeping to the most
honest, the III ost capable, the most faith :
ful. .trusty and Jealous offic both civil
and military, that can be found within
our land
So that we, waiting at home that issu e
which the God of battles alone can give,
need fear for our soldiers no evils but
those inseperable from war, need fear
no inefficient or untrusty quarterRasters,
no careless, ignorant or drunkeg oticers,
no unskillful, unfeeling OF drunken
surgeons 81.
We believe that just severity to
such offenders would greatly increase
the efficiency of our army, and would
strengthen the hands of Government
by securing the confidence Of the peo-
pie. w a5" .a s.
! 1t would be welcome to all those
officers and officials who are now work :
ing faithfully. 1t would be welcome to
every one; for though men are prone to
float on the frail platform of whatever
is, is right" they rejoice when some bold
hand breaks it in fragments under
them. .4-I
We have entrusted to you all that we
most value We believe that you will
care for it tenderly and consciehtiously,
remembering that of this host when one
man suffers many hearts bleed. We
suffer willingly in the cause of civiliza-
.tion and humanity, and to maintain our
national self-respect-we suffer will
ingly-but we look to you our chosen
ruler that we d, not suffer in vain.
All women interested in the subject
of this petition are requested to send
their signatures to box 2,733 2. o.

FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI,

CAIRO, Oct. 26.-The5negroes of He
lena are unwilling to be sent North,
neither do they want to go back to
slavery. They readily consent to work
for wages, and arrangements are being
made by which they are to be paid fifty
cents per day, except in cotton picking,
when they are to have seventy five cents.
From several sources we learn of great
activity among the rebels in the vicinity
Of Helena, Vlcks burgaud Holly Springs
They evidently contemplate an attack
soon, but just at W hat point is not known.
Joe Johnston is said to have 10000
troops at Little Rock and the mum Der at
Holly Springs is known to be about
10000 The rebels are crossing their
forces from Arkansas to Mississippi at
Vlcksburg and are max ing every prepa-
ration for an attack at Holly Springs.
The place is being strongly fortified. 4
rumor here to-night that they are NOV
ing North is probably incorrect.
The people East of Memphis, near
Germantown, are said to be suffering for
the necessares Of life. Cotton is their
only support, and this has been all de-
stroyed by guerriIlas.
The Federals have possession Of Gal
weston bay. This is admitted by the
Grenada Appeal.
Flana gan is elected Governor of Ar
kansas over Rector.
The conscription act is so vigorously
enforced in the South that every man,
says an officer just from Vicksburg, un-
der thirty five years of age is in the
army.

@ New York, New Jersey, Delaware

Bg New Y ork, New Jersey, Delaware,
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Massachusetts, and perhaps some
other States, hold their elections on the
eth Of next month. The complexion of
the next Congress, and probably the fate
of the Union itself, depends upon the
result. 1t is evident that the hopes of
the Southern conspirators hang upon
the success of their partisans in those
States. Every partisan elected to Con-
gress from the North, is claimed by the
rebels in arms, as a triumph Of their
cause. And while We do not believe
that aH those elected in opposition to
the Union party, are in conscious com
plicity with the Jeff Davis traitors they
are understood to be in open opposi-
tion to the Administration, and are ex-
pectcd to go with the extreme men of
the party in embarrassing the measures
ofthe G Government in every possible form,
so as to secure the game. announced
by Maj. Key, which is to prevent the
suppression of the rebellion until the
North is exhausted aud compelled to sub
nit to a separation, when the Western
States are to be transferred to the South
ern Confederacy, making slavery secure
and the Democratic leaders triumphant in
the new oligarchy. ,.

HEADQUARTERS 18th Reg. Va. V.
October Odd. 1862
r.. E,IitOr.-This rarimant 10

Mr. Editor:-This regiment is now
encamped on the Fair ground just above
Point Pleasant, on the Ohio River, which
is very pleasant place. Whether we
will be permitted to remain in our pres
ent position long or not, is somewhat
doubtful. We may be removed soon,
or we may remain here during the win
ter; the former, however, we think the
most likely, but where the "powers that
be- may think best to put US is, perhaps
known to none. The regiment embraces
as yet, but eight companies, making in
all an aggregate Of about six hundre d
and fifty men; there are some prospects
however, of having the regiment soon
filled up, which would be very desira
bic thing both to the men and officers
that are now connected with it.
We think that we can safely say tn at
the material of which this regiment is
composed, is just what the secesh do not
like to stand before, in the field of bat
tie. The officers, from the Colonel, (whu
is known to be man true as steel to the
principles Of our Government) down to
the lowest, we doubt not are the men
who will, with the material under them
carry our Star spangled Banner throug h
blood and smoke to victory; that they
will never suffer the escutcheon of the
country they so much love, and for the
defense of which they have left all the
endearments Of home to sink in dis honor
beneath the unhallowed tread of vile
traitors The regiment is composed OF
men who are really the bone and siuew
of the country. They have deliberately
set down and counted the cost. And
from deep and settled conviction
Of the necessity and importance of every
man applying all his powers for the
overthrow of this rebellion and the
crushing out of treason from our midst,
they have done what they have
Money is only secondary considera-
ton with them. 1t is true some money,
they must have; their families must live
while they are absent from them, but
while this is true we would scorn the
idea that there was not higher, u
grander and more noble inspiration that
induced them to sacrifice the comforts of
home for the deprivations of camp life,
and the dangers of the battle field. We
are too we'll acquainted with the men
connected with this regiment to suppose
anything else.
1t is country, home and liberty, for
themselves and their children, and for
generations yet to come. These are th
propelling and life inspiring motives
that passed in review before their minds,
and caused them to become citizens Of
the tented field.
The 18th Va. Regiment, so far, as l
have been able to discover, is ready to
do everything that will contribute most
readily to bring this civil war to a close !.
If slavery, which l believe they are
unanimous in admitting, be the cause,
they are willing that it should be re-
moved. We want one country, one Con-
stitution, and a perfect Union. And
slavery is the only thing that ever has
or ever can result in anything else in
this country. More anon.
