Release % rebel prisoners.

Gov. Campbell, of Tennessee, whose
mission 10 Chicago we noticed at some
length, few days aimee, has been sue
cossful in securing the release Of 357
prisoners, now confined at Camp Douglas.
BY consent Of the War Department the
prisoners alluded to came up yesterday
and took the oath Of allegiance. Tween
ty-one Of them left last evening the bal
ance taking their departure to-day. The
released prisoners are all Tennesseeans,
the most Of them artillerists captured at
Island No. 10. We are informed that
many others would take the oath were it
not for the general impression prevailing
among the prisoners that they are to be
released by exchange The prisoners
universally manifested feeling of Joy
and relief that their captivity was over
and one Of their number, a shrewd, devil
may-eare Individual, gotten up most gor-
geously in par of trwOsers made Of
three-Fly oarpeting with a mammoth
and gaudy figure, created much amuse-
ment as he passed through the gate,
loudly exclaiming Goodbye, rebs
Hope you'll have good time. I'm a reg
ular Hauk after this, no discount"
1t is noticeable fact that the priso-
ners from the Gulf States manifest no
desire to take the oath, but on the other
hand, manifest a most inveterate hatred

day. The article being one doing much
injustice to me personally, and rejecting

lst. Capt. BREwsTER Of the DIST Ohio,
who is so anxious TO get his name before
the public, was not upon the ground,
being left at Pulaski, some six or eight
miles from the scene of action.
How he could have known that did
not display any military spirit and run
into the woods, will appear plain when
he was eight miles away.
End. l did run into the woods, con
Tess, but II was with line Of skirmish-
ers chasing the rebels.

around the train, having a reserve TO

The GoyERNoR or ONO IN A BAD Tx
News by WAY on ENdLAND.--We natu-
rally look for some changes in such a
war as this, The successes Of the Con-
iederates have been for many weeks so
frequent and continuous that we have
been expecting something, at least Of a
minor kind, to make the beam vibrate or
keep up the usual see-saw of military
events. But, although the Unionists have
the lens in their own hands, nothing
seems TO have occurred which they can
even magnify into a victory. We might
have anticipated that the audacious at
tempt 20 invade a Northern State would
have been promptly repelled aud severely
punished BW &c seems he Confederate force
IS still upon 0o sacred soil Of Ohio. The
Governor Of that free State Is at his ieit's ends.
The citizens seem unwilling to yolun-
teer even TO resist an invader, aud a
proclamation threatening a CONSUMPTION
has been found necessary even IN an in
vaded State undoubtedly loyal 10 the
Northern Confederacy .--Lu55u Times,
ARg. III.

In the liobel House Of Representatives
Mr.. FooTE proposes TO issue a proelama-
ton 10 the Northwestern States, guar
anleeing them the free navigation Of the
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, provided
they viii desist from the war. This is
exceedingly generous we confess 1t is
overwhelming so. We think that Ohio,
Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Missouri
will have the free navigation Of those riy-
ers and corirol them too, without Mr..
FooTE consent.

CNc1NNATI, Sept.


EDITORS GAZETTE: / read this morn
ing, with much establishment, your ac-
count of the disaster at Richmond, KY.
and your comments thereon. IL is to be
presumed that you desire 10 furnish your
readers with the truth IL is as follows /:
First-Tho action was brought on by
General Manson, who was in command
at Richmond, against my instructions
and the instructions of General Wright,
the commander of the Department, which
were that the troops, being new, were not
to be risked in action until some time
had been spent in drill and discipline.
Saeand-Ne report wac made &c nc 0i
the approach of the enemy in force till
half-past two o'clock Saturday morning,
the day Of the fight. / Immediately or
dered a retreat along the Lancaster road,
in order that the two brigsdes at Rich
mond might join the brigade marching
from Lexington to that point, and 20 join
DumOnt who was ordered 10 march TO
Danville from Lebanon. There would
havo been 10000 men at Lancaster, Dam
Vile and Camp Dick Robinson, in tri-
| angle of two equal sides of eight miles,
and all these concerted by good turn
pike roads. The enemy would not have
dared to pass the Kentucky river with
this force ON his flank. But General
Manson, without notifying me, marched
five miles 20 the 'front.' with one brigade.
to meet the enemy, surprising their force
TO be $500 strong; he met them from
10000 TO 10000 strong.
Third-Immediately after | received
General Manson's despatch, / rode TO the
field; riding fifty-two miles to get there.
l arrived alone at two o'clock, p. NJ, and
found the troops remaining with General
Manson in disorderly retreat. BY great
exertion | succeeded in rallying about
1900 men, and took a strong position
The enemy attacked in front and on both
TANKS at once; and at the third or fourth
round the men, already much domorali
zed, broke and fed. This is precisely
| the case as il occurred.
Fourth-You make a structure that
superseded General l.. Wallace and die
not invite him TO remain. / superseded
General Wallace by command Of my su,
periors--I did invite him TO remain anC
take any command he chose

REBEL OUrRAaE.--A special dispatch
to the Chicago Tribune from Cairo, uns
der date Of the 10th, relates the following
revolving story;
Day before yesterday party of guer-
rillas, supposed TO belong 10 Faulkners
band, visited the house of an old man
named Gordon, suspected Of entertaining
Union sentiments, residing about eight
miles southeast of Jackson, Tenn, taking
the old man and his daughter prisoners.
They carried him 20 the nearest woods,
and ten Of the villains successfully yiO-
lated the daughter. Gordon was then
hung by the neck 10 a tree, and would
have perished, had not a party Of FEEDER
ais opportunity passed that way, and
rescued him from his psrilous position
before life became extinct.

Bumor states that Capt, A. CLARK DIX
son and his company from Memphis,
were captured. on the Cumberland by a
party Of guerillas, and that the Captain
was hung or shot. This is idle rumor,
and not for a moment to be credited.
He was too good q soldier to have been
so easily taken. We expect much good
service from Capt DENsoE, and many
hard fought battles, before the rebels will
get rid Of him and his command he is
reserved for better fate. Some iimid,
alarmed rebel created by his fears this
prohtless rumor. He liveth to redeem his
promises made on his departure from our
