Natural wonders of Kentucky.
\ writer from Kentucky says:

The geological formation is singular
Ponds with no visible inlet or outlet are
frequent. Holes in the ground, called
"sink holes are very common, and some
of these lead to the great caves in the re-
gion. Boys pick up load stones from the
ground at most any point. Surveyors are
often troubled from this cause. "Sink
holes " extending into the earth from ten
to three hundred feet with sometimes a
spring or small stream at the bottom.
Two Of these near Mumfordsville. excite
a great deal of curiosity. One, on an en-
inenoe called the Frenchman's Knob, has
been descended two hundred and seventy
five feet without discovering any indica-
tiOns Of bottom. Another near the
town, is some seventy-five feet in diameter
at the top, inclines like funnel to the
depth of thirty feet. At this point is an
aperture twelve feet in diameter, leading
to unknown depths below. A stone or
rock cast in, returns no sound indicative
of having found bottom. Near the same
place is a spring that rises some twelve
inches at noon every day with as great
regularity as the sun passes the zenith.

We have heard the evidence Of Union
men as to the atrocities of the Guerrillas,
now let the testimony of no less rebel
than John B. Floyd, be taken. He writes
to the State authorities Of Virginia with
reference to the cruelties of the western
part of that State:
@I have been asoare Of abuses and OutrGges
Of most mOnstrous and shocking character,
committed by those who believe are or
ganized as partisan rangers, under ar-
thority of the Confederate oficers-but so
scrupulous have I been in abstaining from
what might by the little and the ignorant
be construed into unwarrantable interfer-
ence, that have foreborne to issue any
order to prevent what it was the duty of
every Confederate officer, in the name Of hu-
manly, to put stop TO- The chief causes
of the disafectiOn among the people of q
large part of this community, have arisen
from the high-handed acts of robbery and
rqpins committed by many of the partisan
rangers know that a commission, if
fairly executed, vOuId disclose laDIsssnsss
and monstrous abuse Of authority and PO'0er,
which lOou5d be astonishing and shocking, and
which would call for and insure from the
Secretary and the President prompt re-
form, and stern measures of redress
against any repetition of them.' This is
no Union TRADE, but the official testimony
Of Confederate General.

The European Pence Address---ApPeaI of
From the London Times, ootI.J
The subioiped address to his Excellenc,

The subiOined address to his Excellency
Abraham Lincoln, President Of the United
States of America, has been signed at Brus-
sells by eminent men of almost every nation
in Europe, in the hope, perhaps too san
guine, that it might have some influence in
terminating the terrible war now raging
in America We much fear that the phi
lanthropical object which those gentlemen
have in view will be marked by disap-
pointment. The following is the docu-
ment:
SIR;-A number of the members of the
Association for the Promotion Of Social
Science now assembled in Brussels, and
representing most of the European States,
venture to address the President of that
great people in the Western World, in
whose progress and prosperity they can
not but feel the deepest interest.
The melancholy strife which is now
raging and devastating so large portion
of the North American continent has in its
origin and progress given irresistible
proofs of the energy and excitement with
which the opposing sections have contend
ed for the opinions and principles which
each has advocated. Now, zoe fairly doubt
the sincerity of both; but it is not the pur-
pose of this friendly communication to
wound the susceptibilities of either. Blood
enough has been shed, treasures enough
have been poured out, and it is in the hope
that the prayer, hitherto but family ut
tered, but which, nevertheless, represents
the almost unanimous sentiment of your
European brethren-the hope that the
prayer for truce-for peace, may find a
concurring response in the Western World,
that we venture to breathe it from this
side of the Atlantic.
We dare not propose to people so self
supported, so adVGneed IN Civilization, whose
feelings, however strongly excited, cannot
be uninfuenced by the course Of events
and the teachings of experience-we dare
not propose any particular Hodus ProeedeHdi
by which the grave question and differ
ence may be practically solved but If
suspension Of hostilities could be obtained
as a preliminary measure, time might be
given to consider by what instrumental
ty the present disastrous conflict might be
brought to an end. If the will exist
which we would not for a moment doubt
the means may be found more practioa-
BILE than they at first appear. The whole
civilized world would rejoice in so happy
a consummation, and if we can IN any way
contribute towards it, we shall indeed not
have appealed in vain to patriots and
Christians.
Here follow the signatures, which are
numerous.

Rc-Flection Of MIR. Ashley.

There are five bright spots to-day in
the State of Ohio, these five being the
Districts which elected Messrs. Spalding,
Garfield, Schenck, Briggs and Ashley to

Gratis have carried the State. We are ex-
tremely glad that Mr.. Ashley is reelected.
His record in Congress is one which de-
serves this recognition at the hands Of his
constituents, and the fight that has been
waged against him has been too personal
to be exactly honorable to his opponents.
We have a high respect for Mr.. Waite per-
sOnally, but rejoice that Mr.. Ashley has
come out of the contest with such hand.
some majority, for the sake of the tribute
it pays to his manly frankness and ener-
getio espousal of all means which are for
the good of the country.
We trust the Cleveland Herald will be
satisfied, now that the election is over.
with its attacks upon Mr. Ashley and its
interference in behalf of Mr. Waite The
people of the 10th District evidently knew
who they wanted for Representative as
well as the Cleveland Herald did.

Foarteen DemOcrq,Is Consres.men from


It is the Devils doings and marvellous
in our eyes And the Democrats profess
to be as much astOnished as we Of the Re-
publican faith. They are almost too be-
wildered to crow. They had no powder
ready, the windfan being "greater than
the most ssnguine Imagination could con-
eeive," as the show-biIls say. And no
wonder that they are surprised. It is
deep and burning shame that the loyal
men of Ohio suffered deadly apathy to
settle down upon them and stife the ex-
preston of their opinions. We venture
to say that every Democratic voter in the
State not absolutely bed-ridden, was at the
pOlls-while thousands of Republicans
quietly and criminally stayed away, be-
cause the election would "take care Of
itself"
This is one reason Of The disastrous de-
feat which has come upon US. But there
is another for which we may take to our
selves honor and not shame. This is, that
tens Of thousands more good and true
Union voters have gone to the war than
Democrats. It does not need course of
srgument to prove that Vallandigham
would not 60 into the army to fight
neither would Sam Cox, or George W. Bel
den; neither would the dupes and followers
Of these men. The war Democrats, the
lighting Democrats VINO are IN tie
army would, if at home, vote to
sustain the war and the Consitu-
ton. They would not vote for peace but
for war. Had they been here, the Union
vote would have been greater by tens of
thousands, while if the whole army had
been at home, the butternut Democratic
vote would not have been largely increased.
OF the one hundred thousand men in the
army from Ohio, fOur-ffths would be with
the Union party in this contest, and in this
assurance we take some comfort.
But we are whipped-thoroughly, com
pletely whipped. And we mourn for the
fair fame of our Buckeye State when, in
the two years to come, in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, fourteen men
shall be pointed out who were upon the
same ticket with Vallandigham, and only
FIVE who were elected upon the platform of
adherence to the Union and the Cavern
ment.

The late marches of General Stuart and
of General Pleasanton, as reported from
Harrisburg, the first ninety-six miles in
twenty-four hours, and the last seventy
eight miles in the same time, surpasses
anything on military record. 1t is stated
in General Hallecks work on Military Art
and Science, that Caesar marched the le-
gions Of Rome to the Sierra Morena, in
Spain, at the rate of twenty leagues day.
In the campaign of 1900 Macdonald, wish
ing to prevent the escape Of an enemy, in
single day marched forty miles, crossing
rivers and climbing mountains. Clansel,
after the battle of Salamans, retreated
forty miles in twelve hours. In 1914 Ma
poleon, wishing to form junction with
other troops for the succOr Of Paris march
ed his army the distance Of seventy-fve
miles in thirty-six hours. On the day of
the battle of Tallevera, in Spain, General
Crawford, fearing that Wellington was
hard pressed, made forced march with
three hundred thousand men the distance
of sixty-two miles in twenty-six hours
In 1903 Wellington's cavalry in India
marched the distance Of sixty miles in
twenty two hours. 1t is said that the
English cavalry under Lord Lake marched
seventy miles in twenty-four hours. As
general rule, says General Halleck,
troops marching for several days il sue
cession will move at the rate Of from fif-
teen to twenty miles per day. In forced
marches, or in pursuit of a flying enemy,
they viii average from twenty to twenty
five miles a day. Only for two or three
days in succession, with favorable roads,
thirty miles a day may be calculated on.
Where marches beyond this occur, they
are the result of extraordinary circum
stances.

ment of Union Prisoners.
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial ]
WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.
About two hundred officers arrived here
to-day from the South, the most of whom
are Western men, and were captured at
Shiloh. They belong mainly to the 8th,
18th, Sd and 14th Iowa Regiments. They
reached here in ragged and dirty condi-
ton, but generally in good health. There
have been a good many deaths among
them, from fevers and other causes. Sew
eral have been killed by the rebel guard
Among the latter was Lieutenant Bliss, of
the ID Michigan Battery, whs was shot by
a sentry, in pure Wantonness, and without
the slightest provocation. General Prem
tiss states that their treatment latterly in
Georgia, was extremely brutal. One hun
dred and fifty were confined in a close,
small room, and their food was thrown in
among them as if they had been so many
hogs.
While at Atlanta seven Union men were
executed close to the prison of the National
officers At Tuscaloosa one of our men
was shot in the head while looking out Of
a window, and fell into the streets a corpse.
Captain Lawler, of the 18th Illinois, was
placed in close confinement for two weeks
on bread and water for simply answering
question addressed to him by one of his
own men. The guards were ordered to
shoot down any officer who might be seen
speaking to one Of his men, One private
soldier died from absolute starvation on
the road from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery,
and others were only barely kept alive
by eating the crumbs thrown on the lower
deck from the cabin table. A great many
died from sheer neglect and when ap-
peals were made for medicine or attend
ance for the sick, the reply generally was
that to neglect the Yankees was the best
way to get rid of them.
One Of the guards at Madison has a
purse and razor-strop which be ostenta-
tiously displayed as being made from the
skin of Yankee; another a spur made
from a Federal jaw-bone, and another a
card, in which had been inserted Yankee
teeth.

a spruce young couple visited Jackson
one day last week to see friends in the 26th
regiment. They applied at hotel for
lodging, but were told that all the rooms
were full except q small one with single
bed. This embarrassed them for while :;
but after a whispered and earnest consult
alton, these young Americans told the
landlord they would take the room, as
they thought they could "adapt themselves
to the circumstances" So they went to
a clergyman and had the nuptial knot
tied, and then returned to their room at
the hotel, eminently satisfied with their
new relation.

Garibaldi has been visited at Varignano
by the French writer Taxile Delord, who
says that his countenanee now, more than
ever, resembles that of the Nazarine, to
which his friends have often hitherto COM
pared it. "His face" writes Delord, ais
now more like those Of the CArists of Fra
Beato Angelica. There is at the same time
something suggestive of the eternal in his
looks, and in the sweet smile of his eyes,"
Delord also writes that he receives friends
with pleasure, and says that they are now
doubly dear to him.

Our Navy--Extraordinnry and Gratifying
Facts.

ELIA1a
The last navy report, which bears date
but six weeks ago, presents in concise form
the wonderful rapidity with which the
American Navy has been brought into ex-
istenee. We commenced the war with a
VIGOROUSLY weak and inefficient navy, and
yet we can now present to the world a
navy Of nearly four hundred vessels. This
great fact speaks volumes of praise for Sec
retary Welles and his agents. The man
Ggement Of the naval department has been
energetic and prudent. At the opening of
the war, there was necessarily much con-
fusien and some swindling. In the urgent
necessity for vessels, doubtless many were
purchased which were'prOved to have been
poor bargains. But as rapidly as possible
the department remedied all defects, and
proceeded upon an economical and jndic-
ious system. As a grand result of this
work, we have 8 list of three hundred and
eiqhty-siz vessels, of which number no less
than ffty-tl0O are iron-clads, fourteen of
which are afoat, and thirty-eight in pro-
cess Of construction.
Wehave eleven rams, five steam frigates,
twenty-four screw slOOps, eighty-four
screw steamers, and ninety-fve side
wheel steamers; not to mention a multi
tude Of small steamers, ferry-bOats, ships
of-the-line and old sailing frigates. The
fourteen iron-clads in service carry an ag-
greeate Of one hundred and ffty-three
guns, with tonnage Of fourteen thousand,
four hundred and seventy-fve. A
large proportion of the thirty-eight that
are building will be in service in three or
four months, and all Of them by next
spring. OF those now building, the Dun
derberg (Thunder-mountain) will carry
ten heavy guns. The entire complement
Of the ffty-twO irOn-clads will be an ag-
gregate of two hundred and fifty-eight
guns.
Seven gunboats (the Teazer, Beauregard,
Eliis, General Price, General Bragg, Gen
eral Pillow and Little Rebel have been
captured from the enemy, and still retain
their rebel names.
With our feet Of completed iron-clads
and wooden vessels, we may look with
considerable eOmplacency upon any for
eign threats of Intervention or interfer-
