The Richmond Dispatch, Of Friday, shows
that the rebels are much perplexed at their de-
feat in Kentucky. It says: We regret to
say that the repor, of the Federal victory in
Kentucky conveyed to US on Wednesday night
from northern sources, as more than coaGrm-
ed BY intelligenc . received here al tue War
Department. Ii appears that our defeat was
more decisive than even Northern accounts had
led US to believe. This disaster in Eastern
Kentucky, and the apprehension it has excited
for the safely of our connection with the South
vest through Virginia aud Tennessee, and
East Tennessee aud Virginia Railroad, and the
possible interruption Of our intercourse with
the South, via Wilmington and Weldon Rail-

Letcher,s NIessnEe.

We print this morning the message of

But a small part of the message has any
especial interest to our people, and that is
the part relating to the reorganized move
meat in Western Virginia, by which the
Letcher usurpatiOn has been superseded.
The drunken Ex-Governor, it seems, is So
licitous that the .treasonable organization
gotten up at Wheeling" should be bagged,
au6 to this end he proposes TO carry the
war TO the Ohio river here and even be-
yoDd.
1t makes one laugh to read his sugges-

cents per dozen for his eggs, dollar and
a half per pound for his butter, fifty cents
for his beef, thiFty-fve for his pork, forty
cents for his brown sugar, and twelve dol
lars per cord for wood to cook this costly
bill Of fare with. Aud yet he talks OF
carrying the war into the free States!
II may be that the movement on ALLIE
ghany Summit is in pursuance of Letcher's
recommendations. 1t is just barely posi-
BILE that the desperAdoes mediate u reck-

says that in our recent skirmishes with the

troops acquitted themselves most CALAMITY
aud did honor to our Western Virginia

tectually broken in his front, and that the
only trouble will hereafter be with guer-
rillas. 1t would seem as if these latter
were in full force in the vicinity Of the Al
leghany Summit, aud apparently bent on
raids on the loyal counties. The General
says that they shall be ex,erminated, and
that he is making such combinations as he
thinks will be efFectual to that end.
