Fight with GuerTIIias near Mann
moth CRve--A whole Party Cape
Iured. ..
A couple of reliable citizens Of Marry
county, just returned from Louisville,
informed us yesterday that a party of
eighty guerrillas, who were on their way
from Meade county, Ky, to join Nor
CANS force at some point near Gallatin,
were surprised by thirty Home
Guards near Mammoth Cave on last Sa-
turday evening. After a short contest
the Captain Of the guerrillas was Killed
and two Of his troop wounded, when the
rest surrendered. The Home Guards did
not receive scratch. At them again,
Kentucky! Let all good and loyal cid-
zens follow the example of these Home
Guards, and we will soon be rid of these
ruiiian marauders who are now laying
waste our homes. Let us scourge the
villains from the earth; our soil is too
sacred to be polluted by the footsteps Of
such demons or their friends. They
must be cNterminatcd, they shall be.
Let us delay the work no longer. We
long to see Col. STOKES regiment filled
with law abiding Tennesseans.

go -tschnlI. on the linton.

During the late provincial tour Of this
celebrated pianist in the Canadas, he gave
an exhibition Of his patriotism to our
neighbors. AT his concert in Montreal,
the house being crammed to overlooking,
loud calls were made for Dixie as soon
as the pianist took his seat Such a re-
cepton for moment naturally confused
the pianist, but collecting his ideas at
once, he faced his audience and sat in sic
lence for few moments, with folded
arms. When the tumult ceased he turned
TO his piano, and, as one Of his compan-
ions SAYS, played Hail Columbia" the
"Star Spangled Banner and Yankee
Doodle" as they were never before played
on that instrument The audience was
completely shamed and acknowledging
the rebuke, were liberal in their applause
during the rest of the evening. IL may
not be generally known that Gottschalk
is a native Of New Orleans, and for this
exhibition Of bis patriotism he should
have full credit After the concert, he
remarked 10 a friend that he would have
seen the audience in Tophet before he
would have complied with their demand.

No Hope for Foreign intervention

No Hope for Foreign Intervention,
1t is the interest Of Great Britain that
this war shall go on until the North is
overwhelmed with debt and taxation,
and thoroughly exhausted of men, capi-
tai, and materials for conducting a sue
cessful rivaly in manufactures and COM
merce and until, Also the South shall be
everywhere Overrun, her slaves taken off,
her labor system completely overturned,
and all the circumstances which gave
the South a monopoly of the cotton Gull
ture shall be destroyed The talk about
her starving operatives is the silly cant
of women and clergymen. England could
better Afford and her government would
prefer, TO see five millions of her operat-
ives starved TO death, rather than to see
the civil discussions of this country heal
ed and its affairs embarked again on the
career Of prosperity on which they were
moving two years ago. She has had the
cunning, by heavy brides, TO controlling
members of the republican party Of the
North, to inaugurate the present troubles,
and, despite Of the sentimentalism which
she is now preaching on the horrors Of
az ohS - NhS ASoA lueiSdlol VI tllc az
gressive measures Of the North against
the South She had the address to make
the North-her rival in manufactures and
oOmmercc-do her work upon the South
her successful competitor in the cot
ton culture. Her two rivals in matters
touching her vital interests are engaged
in deadly collision and she would this
day choose rather that all her starving
operatives should perish, than that the
North and South should be at peace until
their work of mutual destruction is com
pleted.-Ric'm0ad Examiner Alg oh.

Gen Pope has issued an order TO the
effect that General Order No. 3, requiring
troops to be subsisted on the country, has
been grossly abused by many officers and
soldiers. 1t is to be distinctly under
stood that no officer or soldier has a right
TO enter the house, or modest the person,
or disturb the property of any person.
Whenever it is necessary or convenient,
provisions, forage, and such articles as
are required, will be used, but every seiz-
ure must be by order of the commanding
officer of the troops there present, and by
the officer Of the department through
which the issues are made. Any officer
or soldier who has entered the house, or
molested the property Of any citizen will
be severely punished.
OF course this is the lcgitimste con-
struction of Order No, 3, which the lying
newspapers Of rcbeldom have so wilfully
perverted The seizure of an enemys
property in time Of war must be made by
the military authorities.

EIY BROTHER

WHEN fret came, on green earth, dancing,
Sunny summers golden light
From our home went forth the brayest
Armed Tor Freedoms holy hght
Firm and hopofll-full Of courage
Light Of all our household band;
Sacrifice al most TOO precious,
Even for our cherished land.
But his young heart never Elteredi
His, he knew, was purpose high,
Aud he went resolved 10 conquer,
Or, while battling bravely, die.
No unmanly grief and sorrow,
when he lef his home, shown;
Something hopeful, something cheering,
Mingled with his saddest tone.
Whom he took my hand at parting,
Knowing well We might, no more,
Meet as we had met aud mingled
In thu. happy heretofore,
The ca I'm, firm voice almost trembed,
And the loving clasp was long,
Yet bis spirit never wayored
From lts'purp1se great and strong
"I obey the voice Of duty,
Whom answer Freedoms cal;
DO not mourn for me in anguish,
II lis Gods win should fall
go not to win proud glory,
And high and sounding name,
For my country she'll struggle,
Striving to save her from shame.
"I shall Do a willing soldier,
Ready for my land 10 die
May God keep you safe aud bless YOU
Pray for me somotimes--good bye"
That was all. The clasp was broken,
And through tear drops falling fast,
On h.s manly Form and features,
In deep sorrow, guzed last.
All the light aud all the sunshine
Seemed to fade 10 gloom away,
when he lcft my side, Soldier,
On that dreary summon day
All the sunshine left me, with him,
For in his son eyes and hair
Lay my wealth Of smiling earth light,
shune my sunshine clear and rare.
Just one year ago this morning
Since he parted from me here,
Since he went forth ardent, earnest,
Putting by all grief and fear:
Through long months I've watched aud waited,
In fond hope, in doubt, in pain,
For the coming Of the dear one
shall never see again
Where is no on augushed spirit
Which in bittor grief doth bow
Whore Is he, our pride, our idoly
Where is he, our brave one, now?
on the blood stained plains Of shiloh
Tics His uroud md noble form
Stricken by the nyng death shots
OF that fearful battle storm.
Closed for aye, his eyes 80 tonder,
Soilcd in dust his golden hair,
Cold aud white, in Death DARK shadow.
Features calm and angel fair;
Careless round his damp earth pillow
Strangers all unhceding tread,
And, without one plng Of sorrow,
Gaze upon our cherished dead
Killed in battle Oh my brother
Let our cause be won or lost,
what care !, nr to mo, c,thor
most fearful price hath cost;
Never more shan joyous sunshine
My sad heart with gladuoss Glli
Absence makes a deep deep shadow,
But, Oh Drah makes deeper skill

that he would try TO get her up the river,

say about the 10Th We are assured that
great many "quiet people" believe this
report to be true. Indeed, we have been
told how the thing is to be accomplished.
The rebel forces are to come down upon
us in three columns-one over the lakes,
one down the Mississippi river, and one
from the Algiers side. We have no facts
as to the mode of transportation. We
are simply told that the "rebels are
coming" and we are kindly requested to
"wait and see" The authors of these
absurd reports are, of course, enemies of
the peace of the city, enemies of order,
enemies of the United States. They de-
serve to be severely punished.
We do not complain of these rumors
because of any effect they may have
upon the troops of Gen. Butler, but we do
complain of the injury they do to simple
people, who have not time to examine
them, and to ascertain how little of
foundation or hope of success there is for
