CeLuxsus, KY.. via CAno, March l.-At ten
o'clock this morning the 9Th, sd and 6Sth I'LL
nois regiments planted the stare and stripes on
the rebel Notifications at Columbus.
The gun.boats Cincinnati, Flagship Louis
vile, Csrondolet, st. Louis, and Lexington, and
four mortar boats In tow Of the steamer Lakern,
and the 9Th Illinois, Col. Buford, SD Illinois,
Col, Roberts, and the 55th Illinois, Maj. Lander,
on the transports Aleck Scott, Illinois, Nagill
and Hunt, left Cairo this morning at four o'clock
for Columbus.
The feet arrived at Lucas Bend about two
miles above Columbus at six o'clock and was
drawn up in line Of battle. The drums beat to
quarters and the guns we're manned ready for
action. Two tugs were sent in advance recon.
noitering, but failed to draw shot from tho en-
envy. Everything about the works was quiet.
Glasses revealed straggiers on the bluff and
about the water batteries, and in few moments
flag was raised, but Ito character could not be
made out. The feet gradually neared the town
and laid in the stream OF the blind batteries
while scouts were sent out upon the shore to.
wards the rebel works. The tugs approached
cautiously until within quarter Of q mile of the
batteries and found the works deserted and both
set OF at the top of their speed for the honor
Of landing fret. The scouts rushed at double.
quick TO the top Of the bluff and unfurled the
stars and stripes ard saluted the crews of the
gun.boats as they steamed up to the town. The
transports landed their troops and Columbus
was in our possession.
The works were entirely deserted and the bar.
racks, or rather rough board and log cabins
we're burned.
An immense amount Of stores and ordnance
fell into our hands. Many of their cannon were
thrown into the river. Six S2-pounders. some
howitxers, and an almost innumerable quantity
Of grape, canister, shell and round shot, were
found In the batteries.
The Notifications are very extensive and its
natural position almost impregnablc.
Columbus is completely destroyed, every
building was thoroughly ransacked and the con.
tents destroyed by the rebels.
The rebels commenced leaving on Thursday
last and finished yesterday. The largest num-
Der ever there was thirty seven thousand. Beau.
regard was not there.
It's believed when the river falls al their
guns will be found.
The land forces, mortar boats and gun-boats
remained in possession of the town, the balance
OF the boats returned to Cairo in the afternoon.

Mr.. Chas. Matthews. from Nashville, called on
us yesterday. On Thursday last he was impress
ed by the Confederate troops in that city, and
employed in carrying meats to the Chattanooga
railroad depot. The next day they tried to inn
press him again, but he escaped across the river
in canoe to Edgerfeld, where he heard that
Col. Kennett's cavalry, Of Gen. Mitchers divis-
ion were. He told there how things were going
on in Nashville, and on Saturday piloted them
to the river bank where they seized three steam.
boats, the Hillman, the Runyon, and the Mime
tonka, and went across to Nashville amid the
cheers of the citizens. About thirteen hundred
of the enemy's cavalry, the Texas Rangers and
Forests Tennessee regiment were in the city ;
and Kennett's cavalry gave chase to them, and
took ten prisoners Mr.. Matthews heard Gen.
Floyd, before the great body OF the rebels had
left Nashville, Say that they would 60 and make
stand at Chattanooga, and Mr.. N. believes
they have done 30. Gen. Floyd said within his
hearing to Gen. johnson, that he thought it best
to fall back to Chattanooga and defend the Cot.
ton States, letting Kentucky and Tennessee take
care of themselves.
There was good reason why the people Of
Nashville wished the presence Of the Federal
troops. The outrages psrpetrated there by the
rebels were fearful. Some Of these outrages are
unfit for publication, and hanging scould be TOO good
for tie authors. Last Thursday four citizens ioeys
shot before their shop doors bscauss:hey pould not
open their shops for robbery and pilage. One lady
sOas ran through with sabre before the eyes of M.
Matthews because she scoald not submit to Shame

Few Governments have begun to act in an
hour of deeper gloom or greater peril. But there
was once another environed with greater dam
gers, enveloped by enemies yet more formidable
with less sympathy abroad, surrounded by more
traitors at home. It was that of France, when
the powers of the nation were placed In the
hands of Committee of Public Safety. Yet 1t
scattered, like heaps of chaff in tempest the
armies that were marching over the frontiers
from every quarter Of the compass; it made the
domestic conspirators, whom it found jubilant
ct the distress of the nation, burrow into the
earth with terror, taught Europe to shake and
sicken at the very name of France, and to set
her armies to marching on the high road to eve
ry Capital on the continent But the Commit
tee Of Public Safety did not stand on dignity,
humanity and the rules Of civilized warfare, when
it commenced its memorable operation. It did
not employ military Turveydrops to command
its troops; nor did Il ill its bureaus with dis.
guised royalists, emigrant Englshmen, or the
lovers Of the Offices.
It was earnest and grim as it's own gullotine;
it struck for life and DEATH for victory and self.
preservation, at any cost Of blood and pain and
horror. It summoned to its side the men that
were like herself-of powerful intelligence and
fierce Acknowledgement who had no quarter
to give or take, and who cared for nothing but
quick success in that desperate business. Their
character rapidly pervaded every officer. They
awoke the nation with an awful cry. Every
other thing was given over and given up to the
battle, and defeat Was rendered so much worse
than death to Generals and soldiers, that no NOR
tai courage was firm enough to meet It.
II this country lie to escape the miseries Of =
protrsctsd war, which may render the Confed.
eracy hell'on earth, for the next ten years, the
Government must adopt some energetic system.
This war should have been rendered q war Of
determination from the FIRST. Some counties in
that case would have been terribly hsrried and
distressed BY the enemy; but We should have
long since obtained all the terms We wanted, or
the whole energy and force Of the nation would
now be up, organized and wrestling with ire
sistable power. 1t is not yet too late to change
the vain and genteel, but fatal system, that has
prevailed till the enemy has lost all fear Of u |;
till We have become the open scoff of the trait.
orous tories that ill our streets, our fields, the
very departments Of the Government itself. who
invite the tyrants to our rivers and our coasts,
spelling for the halter and the bullet, while hell
yawns and gapes to receive them.
