CAssIUs VI. CLAY BEFORE THE KEN
lucky LEGIsLATURE.-Hon. Cassus M.
Clay, made speech before the Kentucky
Legislature on the 30th ult, which is
thus reported.
"Mr. Clay thought that peace was the
great end to be obtained. He would Of
fer it to the South, and on condition that
they would lay down their arms and re.
turn to their allegiance, he would advise
the repeal of all confiscation acts, and urge
a general amnesty act.
1t was idle to talk of hanging JEFF Da-
Wis, or even John Breckenridge, who de-
served it more than any one else. Say to our
Southern brethren, Lay down your arms,
return to the old flag and the old Consti-
tuition; unite w;th as in Furnishing all
your foreign enemies, soho hate you as
much as they do as, and all shall be for
given and torgotten.' Tremendous
cheering. But if the South refuse these
terms, then he would have the Loyal peO-
pie rise in all their might and swear that
this rebellion should be put down, that
his country should be one, though it cost
every available dollar and every available
man. Great cheering.

FIRE.-The Rutland & Burlington
Depot, and two wood sheds with wood
therein belonging to the Company, and
Sanderson's Store, at Cuttingsville,
were wholly consumed by fire on Satur-
day night last. The flames were first dis
covered about midnight, issuing from the
west end of the Store, which stood near
the Depot. The citizens vainly endeav-
ored to arrest the progress of the fire, but
nearly all the goods were saved. A
freight car was Immediately started and
run to this village, where an alarm was
raised at about half past two o'clock
Washington Engine Company No. 2 pro-
ceeded Immediately to Cuttingsville, ar
irving there at A o'clock, but too late to
save any of the buildings. By the heroic
exertions of the citizens of Cuttingsville,
200 cords Of wood, piled within dozen feet
of the depot, were saved. The engine
performed good service after its arrival in
rescuing the wood belonging 70 the Com
pany from the devouring element. They
played upon the fire until 8 o'clock in the
morning. The Store was owned by Mr.
Knights of Shrewsbury. All the build
ings burned, as we'll as the goods in the
Store, were insured. Loss not known

IL When Europeans seek instsu ction
in philosophy, they go to the philos opheI !;
in agriculture, they apply to the agricul-
turist in craftsmanship, they listen to the
statesman in physic, the physician ; in
law, the lawyer; in divinity, the divine
and in war, the warrior. The American
takes precisely the same sensible course,
except in the last named instance. If he
wants instruction in war, he consults, not
the warrior, but brainless newspaper edi-
terials and reports of drunken army cores
pondents. According to his idea of con-
Quoting a campaign, Major-General is
an animal made to wear bit in his
mouth, and to be driven by Horace
Greeley, the socialist, or James Gordon
Bennett, the Scotch black-leg, and seces-
ion sympathizer, and all defeats happen
in consequence of Generals not reading
the astute military Instructions issued
daily in the Tribune, Times, Herald and
| World.

BALL MOUNTAIN AssocIATioN.-The
State Fair will afford favorable oppor
tunity for the curious to visit Ball Noun
tain, already famous as the locality selec-
ted for demonstrating the Moose, or Ma
tive American Elk. Owing to the un-
happy condition in which our country IS
involved by reason of civil war, the enter
prise has been somewhat retarded, but we
are assured by the managers,that 1t never,
for moment, has been abandoned. The
mountain is in plain sight of the Fair
Grounds, and within easy access by pony
express. ..
Persons having patent fences upon ex-
hibition will do well to call upon the man
ayers of the association. As soon as they
find one suitable for their purpose, they
intend to purchase several thousand rods.
Their attention has been heretofore called
to the fence of Mr.. Smith of Haverhill, N.
III which on many accounts is very much
liked but that lacks one important fea-
ture, which the managers deem essential.
Owing to the rocky nature of the locality,
they desire fence with patent post holes,
to obviate the necessity of drilling holes
into the rocks.
They are also prepared to purchase
any number of the Elk species. Those
having Elk in the wild or domestic state,
will find a market for them by applying
to the Secretary Of the Association, for
which payment will be made in the bills
of the Bali Mountain Bank at par.
1t has been hoped that the Association
would have pair of the animals suffi-
GENTLY trained to drive in golden char
lot around the trotting park, but we fear
they may be compelled to defer the exhi-
bition until another season. However,
there are sufficient attractions around
Ball Mountain to interest the visitor and
repay him for all the time he may spend
in the investigation of this novel expert
ment.
1t is expected that the Editors of the
Scientific american, the New York 7rib
une, the New York Observsr, the Albany
O,sltivator, the New England Farmer, ant
the Bel lows Falls Times, who have taker
great interest in the progress of the ex.
pertinent, will be present on the occasion

New YORK, Oct. 8.-The Herald's cor
respondent says Gov. Bradford and ex-

of military force to protect the agents of
the State in making enrollments for the
draft in that State The enrollments
have been completed in all the State ex-
eept the southern counties of the Western
Shore, where the Secessionists have de-
stroyed the partially completed enroll
ment lists, and drove the officers out of
their counties. The request has been
granted, and the Secession counties of
Maryland will be forced to submit to the
law.
Parties from the Pacific coast are here

HEADoRs ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
CAMP NEAR sSHARPsBURG,

General Order No. 1851


General Order No 163.
The attention of the officers and sol
diers of the Army of the Potomac is
called to General Order No. 139 (War
Department, Sept. %, 1862, published
to the army The Presidents proelama-
ton of Sept. %, proclamation of such
grave moment to the nation, officially
communicated to the army, affords the
General Commanding an opportunity of
defining specially to the officers and sol
diers under his command the relation
borne by all persons in the military SER
vice of the United States toward the civil
authorities of the Government.
The Constitution con6des to the civil
authorities Legislative, judicial and Ex-
ecutive the power duty of making, ex-
pounding and executing the Federal
laws. Armed forces ase raised and sup
ported simply to sustain the civil author
tiles and are to be held in strict subor-
dination thereto in all respects. This
fundamental rule of our political system
is essential to the security of our Repub-
lican institutions, and should be thor
oughly understood and observed by every
soldier. The principles upon which and
the objects for which it shall be employ
ed in suppressing rebellion must be de-
termined and declared by the civil au-
thorities and the chief executive, who is
charged with the Administration of Ma
tional affairs is the proper and only
source through which the orders of Gov
ernmeut can be made known to the arm
les of the nation. Discussion by officers
and soldiers concerning public measures
deter mined upon and declared by the
Government when carried at all beyond a
temperate and ordinary expression of
opinion, tend greatly to impair and des-
troy the discipline and efficiency of troops
by substituting the spirit of political fac
ton for that Of firm, steady and earnest
support Of the authorities Of this Govern
ment, which is the highest duty of the
American soldier. er
The remedy for political errors, if any
are committed, is to be found only in the
action of the people at the polls. In
thus calling the attention of this army to
the true relation between the soldiers
and the Government, the General Com
handing merely adverts to an evil
against which it has been thought advisa-
| be, during our whole history, to guard
the armies of the Republic, and in SO
doing he viii not be discouraged by any
right minded person as casting any re-

HELENA, ARK, October 4-The cor
respondent of the Missouri Republican
sayswe have late and reliable intelligence
of the rebel forces in this State. 1t is as
late as the 18th and 22nd ults., and seri-
ously modifes many reports that we have
heard, and some of which have reached
the country. According to this state
ment the rebel forces in Arkansas in en-
campments, &C., are as follows:
Hindman, is at Austin, % miles north
of Little Rock, with 5000 men, and one
battery. Gen. Roam is at White Sulphur
Springs, near Pine Bluff, so miles south
east of Little Rock, with $4,000 men,
two regiments of whom are conscripts
and one unarmed; also Texan regiment
and one battery of three six-pounders
iron, and one twelve-pounder brass, and
one siege piece mounted Gen. McRea
is at Arkansas river, 80 miles west OF
Napoleon.
Gen. Rains is at Cross Hollows, with a
reported force of from 1000 to 5000,
mostly conscripts. Gen. Holmes, Com
mander-in-chief of all the forces, is at
Little Rock, with 1000 men, and two
DatterleS-One OF TWO JWeIVe-pOunuers
and three six-pounders; the other of two
rihed six-pounders and two underground
howitzers Gen Mcbride is at Bates
vile with about 1000 men, only l,500
of whom are effective Most of their
cavalry force has been disbanded. AT
present it is not believed that they have
more than 1900 cavalry in the State
At Arkadelphia, eighty or hundred
miles south of Little Rock, the rebel;
manufacture munitions of war, and have
removed there all the State papers anC
records, though the rebel Generals boas
of their intention to invade Missouri. L
is not believed by intelligent men il
their camps that they intend to do so
If they save the capital of their State, i
is all they desire at present, and more
perhaps than they expect.

ascertained that the gunboats have been
engaged for several days past in destroy
