A Glorious Victory in KY.

A grand battle was fought in Ky,
near Somerset, on Sunday, week ago,
in which the rebels were completely
routed. Our forces were commanded
by Gen. Thomas, and the rebels by
Crittenden and Zolliceffer. The follow
ing is from Gen. Thomas telegraphic

The rout of the enemy is complete.
After getting six cannon and about fifty
wagons across the river, abandoned them
with all the ammunition in the depot at
Mill Springs.
Z They then threw away their arms and
dispersed through the mountains in the
direction of Monticello. These are SO
demoralized l don't believe they will

The property captured this side of the
riveris of great value, amounting to eight
6-pounders and two Parrott guns, with
caissons filled with ammunition
About 500 four horse wagons, about
loo horses and mules, boxes of arms

Getting His Due.

That Bright, one of the U. S. Sena-
tors from Indiana, is as perfect traitor
as Toombs or Benjamin, no honest man
doubts. There is now. motion before
the Senate to expel him from that body,
which will doubtless pass. 1t isan out
rage upon deeency to have a known
tory in the Senate, to give information
to. the Southern conspirators, of every
movement of the Government. He has
ceased even to deny that his sympathies
are all with his political partisans, now
in open rebellion. The tangible proof
of his treason was secured in the pocket
of a Southern rebel, captured as spy.
It is letter from, Bright to JEFF. Davis,
introducing to him, the bearer, who went
to profer to the South a late invention
an improvement in fire arms. The
villain was caught before he got to Jeff.
Davis, and Bright's letter found upon
his personl And yet, with all this, a
howl is set up by certain papers, which
demand, in the name of the democratic
party" that this sself-convieted tory shall
be permitted to disgrace the noble State
of Indiana, and pollute the seat in the
Senate, which should be occupied by one
of her patriotic sons. We do not be-
lieve that the Democratic party is GO
ing to identify itself before the
country, with such an unscrupulous vii
lain as Bright. His pretended election
to the Senate was notorious fraud upon
the State in the first place. But he was
a convenient tool of the conspirators, and
JEFF. Davis, and Benjamin, and Toombs,
ruled supreme in the U. s. Senate
They, therefore, consummated the fraud
of Bright and his partisans, by admit
ting him to seat in that body. And
never did slave more servilely serve a
master, than he has served the chief
conspirators. His race, however, is
about run out.

The Rebels Arming the Slaves

The St. Louis Democrat says, that
among the prisoners captured in the re-
cent skirmish in the Western part of the
State, and now confined in the Medical
College, are sixteen slaues. These slaves
were regularly armed and formed part
of the rebel army, and fought, and were
captured as such, with other rebels!-
And alt over the South the same fact is
notorieus-that is-that the slaves are
being forced, not only to support the
war by their labor, but also by their
arms.
We don't know what Gen. Halleck
will do in this case The Democrat
says that these slaves and their masters
were taken fighting side by side, and
are now prisoners together. How can
Gen. Halleck return them to their own
ers? Or will the fact that they are
shareholders entitle the white rebels to
their release, that the slaves may be de-
livered up to them?
Could not Crittenden, and Prentice,
and the other "Conservative Border
State men get law passed by Congress,
that no STAKEHOLDER shall be held as a
prisoner; but that if captured in any
skirmish or battle, as soon as it is made
known that he is slaveb older, he shall
be discharged, and sufficient force de
tailed to conduct him, and whatever ne
groes he may claim, safely to the camp
of the rebels?
There may be "fanaties" enough in
Congress to prevent the passage of sc
conservative an act. But if so, can
not our "West Point" Generals do the
nice thing for their old class mates and
present friends without the aid of the
laW2
