PRATIEe TO THE PoISr.-Chaplaiu
Cressey of the second Minnesota Reg.
iment, adopted the custom, while al
Fort Smelling, Of offering up prayer
at the close Of dress parade. He al.
ways made special mention of our gen.
erals, with frequent illusions to the
stars and stripes. and usually wound
up with q kind remembrance Of the
rebels in something like the following
style: 7n-
"oh. Lord God. in thy great mercy
bring these rebellious people of the Sc
.ceded States to q realizing sense Of
their great wiekedness, bring them
back to christian love Of their God
and country by revealing to their minds
the enormity of their sins and the fear
fui breadth of their transgression; but,
o God, if in their stubboruness of
heart, they will remain welded to their
false idol, secession; if they will persist
with arms in their hands in making war
upon their once happy and beloved
land--0 Lord pour upon these traitors
to their God and country, leaden and
iron hail without stint and without mix
ture, until they lay down their arms, or
are stricken from the face of the earth!"
As the deacon is now in Kentucky he
will probably see some of the fruits of
his prayers.

REBEL DISAPPOINTMENT IN WESTERN
VIReINIA.-All along, the Union peo-
pie of Western Virginia have been dis
posed to consider the campaign on their
side as no great shakes-as not half. or
more than half, at least, of what it
should have been. But since the rebels
are leaking out so unreservedly the ex-
tent of their humiliation, our grief and
sense of shortcoming is greatly modi-
fed. We begin to think better of the
operations thus far, lame as we believe
they have been.
Probably the worst disappointed peo-
pie in the world are the resident rebels
of Northwestern Virginia. Nothing
could exceed the pertinacious conf
dence with which for while in summer
they held to the belief that Lee would
penetrate into our very midst here, and
that he would lift from off their necks
and their minds the weight and sensa-
ton of bafied helplessness and con-
tempt which their Union neighbors had
cast upon them. How they longed for
Lees coming has no parallel even in
the watching of the mother of Sisera,
whose chariot wheels were so long de-
lsyed.- Wheeling Intelligencer.

RThe Frankfort Commonwealth
says: The Memphis Appeal speaks of
a piece of successful foraging" by a
party from Columbus, Kentucky. in
which some eight thousand dollars
worth Of cattle were stolen, and also
compliments the "activity Of the boys"
in removing the stock to place of safe
ty. These fat beeves and hogs we're
doubtless taken from non on-combalants
or men who have not joined the rebel
lion, and the act is applauded. But the
Appeal also learns that Captain Moreau
had taken possession of the stock on
the traitor Buckner's farm, and says,
"the Yankees have been gluttiDg their
vengeance on Gen. Buckner by stealing
his property" The Appeal has spe-
cial vocabulary for both loyalty and
treason.

of the stragglers.
From the editor OF the late Sandy
Valley Advocate, now one of the pro-
prietors of the Louisville Democrat,
who arrived in this city from the seat OF
operations in the Sandy Valley yester-
day. we learn that the second rebel in
vasion of Eastern Kentucky has ended
in disgracelul rout.

including the 42d Ohio, Col. Laban F.
Moore's 10th Kentucky, and some
eighteen hundred cavalry. had proceed

ville-within seven miles of the rebel
camp-when they were met by flag
of truce bearing message from Hum
phrey Marshall, asking If matters could
not be arranged without 6ght. Col.
Garfield Immediately replied that ne
could offer him no arrangement except
either to fight or surrender uncOndltlon-
ally.
Marshall then addressed his men, in
forming them that they had no alterna-
tive excepting to surrender or dlsband,
and giving them their choice. They
decided to disband. They Immediately
collected and set fire to all their wagons,
tents, camp equipage supplies, etc., and
then each man was permitted to take
care Of himself, and the whole force
scattered in confusion. No attempt
was made to save anything excepting
their cannon, which was hauled of.
As soon as Colonel Garfield was ap-
prised of the facts, he dispatched his
cavalry in pursuit. They are expected
to capture the guns, as well as, perhaps,
to pick up many of the flying rebels.
A sufficient force will doubtless be
left in this region to secure to it peace
and safety for the future.
The rebels in Northeastern Kentucky,
from the high estimate in which Hum
phrey Marshall's military abilities were
held, had strong hopes of success un-
der his leadership. Henceforth, they
must feel how utterly hopeless are their
efforts to gain footing in this portion
of the Stste.-Cin. Gazette.

TIE DEATH OF PRINCE ALBERT
From the London papers received by
the Asia, we CLEAN further particulars
in reference to the death Of Prince AL
bert. His illness arose from his sleep
ing in damp room on his recent visit
to the Prince of Wales, at Cambridge,
which was afterward increased by at
tending review of the Eaton Volun-
teers. when he said that he felt as il
cold water had been poured down his
back. The Record, in alluding to the
last hours OF the Prince. says, on the
authority Of his physician, that he had
an attack of the same kind last year.
His aversion to medicine led him in his
fatal illness to refuse to take the pow
erful remedies which probably saved
his life on the former occasion.
