Fighting Guerrillas.

The New Albany Ledger of Saturday
evening contains full particulars Of Capt
Bethell's Union expedition against the
guerrillas near Henderson. Kentucky. Il
will be remembered that Capt. Bethell's
house at Newburg was pillaged during the
recent raid into Indiana, and, as is natural,
he is conducting the movements of his
company of seventy mounted ten days
men with great vigor. On Tuesday be
came upon large number of the guerril-
las-a part of The same body which visited
Newburg-at point twenty milesinterior
from Henderson. and at once engaged them
furiously. Several of the robbers were
wounded. one was killed. and ten were
captured. together with two flags, twelve
horses and nearly all the arms and stores
taken at Newburg. Not one Of Capt
Bethell's men was injured. On Thursday
the gallant Captain attacked another gang
of guerrillas eight or ten miles above the
mouth of'Green river. killing three. taking
eight prisoners. wounding several and cap
turing the remainder Of the arms aud stores
stolen from Newburg. The gang was
dispersed. The Captain has
to take no more prisoners, and
is still scouting around Henderson. He
sends word to his friends that his men are
determined to keep At work Until there is
not guerrilla left in Daviess. Union, Hen

Maj. Gen. Pope. accompanied by his

Did reason. or the laws Of nature. 60 to
prove that the abolition Of slavery in the
South. would prejudice the interests Of the
White lsboring classes in the North, we
would be foremost in vigorous opposi-
ton to any such movement. But. on the
contrary. We believe.--and al precedents
sustain rs in the opinion.-thst should the
vicious laws in the South, which protect
slavery. be abolished. not only would the
emancipsted slaves remain in the warmer
regions. to which they arc physically ad-
apted. but the fugitives, and fres colored
people. in the North. would rapidly flock
back to climate for which BY nature they
are SO well suited. This is ous answer to
those who are DESTROYS Of knowing our op-
inion in regard to this absorbing and high

General Lane Going West.
Washington. July

Washington, July "a.
Some weeks ago the War Department
gave Gen. Lane an appointment as com
missioner OF Recruiting for the Depart
ment OF Kansas. with full power to raise
aud equip volunteers. establish camps OF
instruction. draw on Quartermasters and
Commissioners for transportation and SUP
plies, and in short, full power to raise an
army in Kansas. and put il in fighting con-
dition in the shortest possible time. It is
expected that General Lane will promptly
establish camps near the Missouri line.
and commence recruiting. advertising pub
licly that no loyal man be rejected on &C.
count of color and fully carrying out the
provisions of the New Militia law, con-
corning the enlistment of negroes. 1t is
shrewdly supposed also that Gen. Lane
VIII not inquire very scrnpulousl1 whether
his black recruits came from over the Dor
der or not. or If they do. whether they are
supplied with free papers. 1t is the belief
here that the establishment of his camp in
Kansas, will be the signal for perfect
slave exodus from Missouri, and that his
negro regiments will be among the first to
be fully equipped and in the field. Lane
has orders from the Secretary of War to
every officer of the Department. of Kansas.
requiring them to give him the heartiest
co-eperatipn in these movements This
will obviate all such difficulties as he ex-
perienced before. 1t is expected that Lane
will have at least one white and two black
regiments in the field within a fortnight
after he commences. He leaves here on
Saturday for the West, and will begin
work at once. This commission is SO ar
ranged by the President and Secretary
Stanton. as not to interfere with Lanes
seat in the Senate. 1t is understood that
he will receive no formal Generals com.
mission. and take no military command
from the Government; but after he raises
this army. the strong probability is that
he will take Q commission in the State
militia from the Governor of Kansas or
some other State. and so enter active ser
vice without receiving O regular appoint
ment from the President. which would for
felt his seat in the Senate. The whole
matter is regarded here as evidence that
the Administration is not SO much afraid
Of arming negroes as had been supposed,
from its late exemption order.

An Important Confession.

A writer in the Grenada appeal. who
has recently travelled through Mississippi,
makes the following confession:
ITO my sorrow, found numbers Of men :,
and even some Of our noble Southern wo-
men. were discouraged, disheartened. say
ing: We've whipped; we're whipped; aud
some going SO far as to intimate that it
would be best, upon the whole, to su bmis
to Yankee rule. This class of croakers."
continues the writer. 'is rapidly on the in
crease. Our President and leading Gener-
ais are censured. and our civil and military
leaders are blamed for not accomplishing
what is. from the very nature Of the case.

Congressional Convention.

We presume that it will not be in our
power to present our readers with an Off
cial copy of the proceedings of this Con-
vention before the next issue of this paper;
and in fact. with the exception of the res
olutions passed by that body. they would
probably prove of but little interest to the
public. 1t is sufficien. for the people to
know that their present able and worthy
representative. Schuyler Colfax, has been
rc-nominatei for another term. TO repre-
sent the 9th Congressional District in the
lower House of Congress. Notwithstand-
ing the generally expressed opinion Of the
people in favor of the denomination of
Mr.. Colfsx, we deem il no more than
proper to say that the Convention per-
formed good act when his nomination
was made; and the unsnimity of sentiment
expressed on that occasion went far to-
ward showing not only that Mr.. Colfax
has well and truly acquitted himself of the
trust reposed in his hands heretofore, but
that the people are alive to the great inter-
ests Of the country.
Schuyler Colfax. by his energy and -
hlity, exhibited on every important occa.
sion since he became . member of Con-
grcss. has gained an amount OF influence over
the members of that body. which might
well be enyied by men of greater expert
encc anil age than himself. He has. in
word. become one of the controlling spirits
of that august body. and his power for
good or evil is comparatively great. Few
Of our readers are ignorant Of the Congress.
sional career of Mr.. Colfax. and fewer still
unaware of the important part which be
has taken in matters Of National Legisls-
tion during the last two years. His vote
IS recorded on every important bill which
was passed during the last Session. and
their success in becoming laws arc greatly
owing to the earnest and able support
which they received from him.
Mr.. Colfax has exercised an extraordi-
nary interest in the mail facilities of this
State. and this Congressional District par
ticularly; and from no member did the
Pacific Railroad bill receive warmer sup
port than from Mr., Colfax.
But when we have greater time we shall
speak further on this subject. It sufices
at this time to say that, in times like the
present. when our country is engaged in an
intestine war which threatens its very ex-
is.ence, we should be extremely cautious
IN our selections of men to represent US in
such an important position as that of Con-
gressional Representative. One vote cast
against an important National measure
might involve the destruction of tbs Gov
eminent We know that Mr.. Colfsx is
true; that be is reliable and able; that he 10
patriotic and liberal; and knowing I'll these
things it becomes public necessity that
Mr.. Colfsx should be reelected for another
term of Congress. where he can exert his
influence, and use his voice, in the support
of our country and the maintenance of her
Jaws.
