FROM CINnINNATI-

CINCINNATI, Jan. IL.
The Gazette learns from the editor Of the
late Sandy Valley Advocate, now one of the
proprietors of the Louisville Democrat, and
who arrived here from Sandy Valley yester-
day, that the second rebel invasion of East
ern Kentucky had ended in q disgraceful
rout on Monday last.
Col. Garfeld's forces, including the 42d
Ohio, 10th Kentucky, and 1900 cavalry, had
proceeded up the Big Sandy to PainesviIle,
within seven miles Of the rebel camp, when
they were met by a flag of truce, bearing q
message trom Humphrey Marshall, asking II
matters could not be arranged without fight.
Col. Garfield Immediately replied he could
offer no arrangement except either TO fight
or surrender Internationally.
Marshall then addressed his men, in
forming them tboy had no alternative ex.
cepting TO surrender or to disband, and
giving them their choice they decided to
disband. They Immediately collected and
set FIRE to all their wagons, tents, camp
equipsge, supplies, 60, and then each man
was permitted to take care Of himself, and
the whole force scattered in confusion. No
attempt was made to save any thing except
ing their cannon, which we're hauled of.
Col. Garfield dispatched his cavalry in
pursuit.
They expect to capture the guns, and
perhaps pick up many of theJaying reb-
els.
The rebels in Northeastern Kentucky,
from the high estimation in which Hum.
phrey Marshalls military sbilitief we're
held. had strong hopes Of success under his
leadership.
A sufficient Federal force will be left in
this region to secure its future peace and
safety.

Notwithstanding the fsot that America
is the representative Of republiOanism upon
the globe, and Russia the embodiment Of
sbsolutisn, there is q bond Of sympathy
between the two nationalities which one
would naturally look for only between
people with tastes habits and institutions
similar in character. whenever we talk
Of war with Great Britain, 9 nation Of
people 30 closely allied to US by blood that
we spply to them the sndearing title Of
smother country" we instinotively turn
cur eyes toward Russia and expect her
sympathy, and, under certain Oircumstan-
css, would confidently count upon her 90
tive support There is no more interesting
problem thsn that Of the destinies Of the
American Republic and the Russian En-
pire, which divide between them so much
Of The earih's surface, and so many possi-
bilities Of the future, and which, while
grounded upon opposite political ideas,
rival each other in enterprise, vigor and
rapidity Of development The magnitude
Of Russia is unprecedented in the history
Of nations. her vast proportions can only
be shown BY q comparative statement.
The total area Of The United States, the
North, the South, and the Territories, is
1885, l66 square miles. The area Of France
(ineluding Corsica and Savoy is 20I988
square miles. The area Of the British
Isles is 40, $50 square miles. Thus the
territorial extent Of the United States is
tWenty-four times greater than that Of the
British Isles, and fourteen times greater
than that Of France. Our whole area could
be divided in about four hundred States Of
the size Of Massachusetts. 1t is moderate
to say that the territory Of our single
country is much larger than that which
constituted the Roman Empire when it was
greatest. But Russia is between two and
three times larger than the United States.
Her square miles, in Europe and Asia, are
7,s54561. From the continuity Of the En-
pire, except Russian America, it may be
regarded as one great whole.

MaDrsou Wiz To


The Legislature convened yesterday
Gov. HarVey's Message first slludes to 10.
cal matters and the healthy financial con-
dition Of the State. In reference to the
war tax to be levied, he says the loyal
people of Wisconsin do not value property
or life itself weighed against the existence
Of the Government which has so long bless
ed and protected them in both. He recon-
mends economy and wise administration
to meet this tax; recommends the introduc-
tion of military tactics and drill in public
schools; strongly urges memorial to Con-
gress for an armory, naval and arsenal
depot at Milwaukee, its ospacious hsrbor,
water power, oheapness Of ship material,
and accessible position, rendering it the
best point on the Lakes.
Alluding TO the rebellion and the rebels
he says: Surely few more lessons will
teach US, if indeed we are not already
taught, to understand what treason means;
to regard these rebels with that horrid
aversion the royslists have for the regi-
eide; they are the regioides of the best
Government under heaven. The contest
must come to be fought on the principle
that the protection Of the Union alone gives
sacredness to soil or institutions. No soil,
person, or any species Of property has any
saoredRess or claim to regard outside the
Constitution and in rebellion against the
laws. Slavery is moreover the interest
which the plotters for q Southern mon
archy have played upon to alarm and unite
their section, until that whole people have
gone mad upon it. Conservatism or poll
tics cannot save it now from the doom that
awaits it. Whether it fuds its fate in the
struggle or dies lingering of its wounds, ID
yet in the order Of Providence, and not to
be directed by our impotence.

Of the relative merit Of the candidates for

make proper selection when there are SO
many able and competent men. The COM
potency Of Judge spslding to I'LL that
Office with credit to the State and honor to

question is whether or not is there any
osoasion to find fault with Senator Wade,
has he not bsftled manfully for the great
principle Of human rights with zeal and
fearlessness equaIled BY no other member
Of the Senate Why then abandon good,

The skirmish OF Capt. Russell at Bath was
a brilliant affair. He had been detailed
from Gen. Kelly's command with two regi-
ments of infantry, and two squadrons Of
cavalry, and was stationed at Bath on the
approach of Gen. Jackson in command ei
5000 or 5000 rebels. His scouts gave him
notice; he was miles from the Potomac
river. BE took the infantry out about two
miles and posted them as skirmishers in a
dense wood.
The osvalrs was left to engage the ad-
vance Of the enemy. An exchange Of shots
was the consequence of the enemy's ad-
vance under Turner Ashley, Of guerilla
nOtOriety, who came on and fell into the
ambush.
Capt. Russell lost seven horses and kept
eleven Of the enemy's; and retired with his
whole force across the Potomac, with the
loss of only two men, who were drowned in
crossing. This is considered one Of the
most brilliant maneuvers in the war.
