ga The field, with the gun upon their
shoulders and the knapsack upon their
backs; men who, forgetful Of their most
sacred duty 10 their country, have taken
up arms against the best government the
san ever shone upon.
-" Well, why can these men go 10 war
while you cannot? Simply because they
have the negroes at home TO work for
them, and you have nothing to depend
upon but your own honest industry. Be-
sides, when, as is most generally the
case, the wife herself is the better man
of the two, the property is rs well taken
care Of in the absence Of the husband as
when he is at home, and thus three men
can go into the army and stay there un-
til the last star falls from Heaven, and
their wives and children be none the
worse off for it. Within the territory
have mentioned there are one hundred
thousand slaves, toilng day after day,
! cheerfully and uncomplaininglv for the
| support of their masters, who are in the
| rebel army. Now suppose you give no.
! tice to all mankind, and the human fami .
| " in particular, that every man who
| shall fail to return TO his allegiance with
in a given time, bring forth fruits meet
for repentance and give suitable guaran-
tees for his good behavior in future-hs
negroes shall be conflscated. Don't you
| suppose there would be terrible ske-
daddling among these men about that
time? They would soon learn by q
I mysterious intima'ion OF Divine Proyi-
dence that they had got their rights
already, and that the best thing they
could do was to go home and enjoy them

On Tuesday night Col HAaGAED's
Fifth Kentucky Cavalry, who had been
in pursuit Of the Guerrillas for several
days, came within one mile Of FoRREsT's
banditti, on the Murlreesboro' road, thir-
teen miles from tins city, when the whole
gang of rebel horsc-thioycs, chicken
stealers, house breakers and assassins
cut and ran like quarter horses The
last seen Of them, FoRRt ST was leaning
over his horses neck, whipping for dear
life, while his men were dropping pis-
tolls, shot-guns, canteens, corn dodgers
green apples and stolen chickens along
the road. When last seen they were
within ten miles Of dcyildom, and still

The estate Of one of the noblemen Of
England, who has been in the mad -house

If the loyal men Of the Republic fail to
put down the Rebellion, with the great
prepondcrance Of physical power which
they possess, and the moral strength
which is on their side, the Rebellion
will certainly put them down, and all
posterily will brand them as a race of
imbeciles

Is it not as Constitutional tor the Fed

ting down this rebellion, as it is for the
rebels to use them in carrying on the re-

loyal people have none?

The pr aspect Of foreign Intervention is
in our opinion one Of the greatest hum

before the public. The very same wise
acres who look aghast at our debt OF

carry on the war, feel confident that Eng
land, little island not half so valuable
as Illinois or Tennessee, or Texas, OF
Ohio can send over an army to fight
near twenty four millions of people, who
arc their superiors in naval warfare. But
suppose Ishe were to interfere in our
quarrel, what then? Would the South
be any better off Would not her whole
border and coast be devastated, every
now and then, by hostile incursions
from the United States The United
States, if driven to extremities, could
wage a far more formidable guerrilla
warfare than the South ever can. Tn,
/ independence Of the South would cost
her the value of half dozen cotton crop,

a barren honor, bringing only enormous
taxation, social misery and a military
despotism upon her people. Is such 8

The correspondent of the Chicago Trib-

that loyal Democrats of that State are de-
nOuncing the action of the recent Demo

done so in advance, in a very strong

GaribaIdrs Companions ComingioAmeriea

[London Correspondence New-Yorl, Postl
1t is probable that most Of Garibaldi's 5
foreign eompanions-in-arms will make
their way over TO America and Join the
Federal armies. If so, they will prove
valuable acquisitions, as many Of them are
excellent officers. The idea is, that Carl
baldi will come himself to England immed-
lately on his release If, as I hope and
trust, by the time Of his arrival, the war in
America has vindicated its right to be
called a war of emancipation, he would,
believe, gladly accept an invitation to
America, where his name would be Of
great service amongst your foreign popu-
lation. His presence, too, would be of
service TO the North in Europe and would
tend, more perhaps than anything else, to
awaken the public to the fact that the
North is in reality, fighting the battle of
freedom.
There is in truth great need Of such tes-
timony at the present hour. It is no use
denying that the Presidents speech to the
oolored deputation has produced a very un-
favorable effect here. It is easy enough
for you, or, for that matter, for any one
who understands the subject, to see that.
whatever counsels may be used. facts are
working for the overthrow Of slavery. But
the great public cannot be expected to un-
derstend the subject, and judges naturally

The firing heard last evening in the di-

been a raid of StuaFBs rebel cavalry. BE

Maryland at that point, with his cavalry,
one regiment of infantry, and seventeen
pieces of artillery. The force sent up to
drive him back arrived at the town late in
the afternoon.
The firing heard was principally from
the rebel guns. During the night they re-
crossed into Virginia, and this morning
they had disappeared from the opposite
shore. No one was hurt.
The work of burying the dead still con-
