The LaIe CoI. AshbY.

This famous rebel partisan, who was
killed near Union Church, Virginia, seems
to have been differant man from most oi
the enemy's leaders:
at should be written to his immortal
honor that Col. Ashby never approved the
barbarities with which the rebels have dis
graced their warfare. His manly nature
revolted from such crimes. After the bat
tie Of Bull Run he addressed his soldiers,
telling them that no bravo warrior would
take advantage of PROSTATE and helpless
foe. AT Front Royal, before he was hurt,
he entered the hospital where the Federal
wounded were, and expressed his earnest
sympathy with them, assuring Col. Kenly
of his personal consideration and pledgiue
him the kiudest treatment. When render
ed helpless himself, and riding in an ambu
lance, after his regiment, he saw Main'
soldier lying by the roadside, and told hi
driver to see whether he was alive or not
The driver reported that the soldier was
dead. Ashby then directed the body to be
removed and covered with brush, in order
that it might not be disturbed by animals

enemies were men," Gin. Guzette.

Great Fire in HoIIand.

A letter from Amsterdam of the sth
ult., reports the total destruction of the
manufacturing town of Enchede by fire.
The account says:
Fifteen manufactures, four churches and
the town hall, besides the dwellings, Of all
the iuhabitants--about ten thousand-arc
burned 10 the ground. Everything is des
troyed or being destroyed, without any
means for saving the little property which
the flames may not yet have reached
Several lives have been lost. The disaster
was caused by lightning. Provisions are
being provided for the inhabitants by the
surrounding districts. The disaster oecas-
ioned by this calamity is reported as heart
rending. By the last accounts the town is

Southern Cavaliers VS.. Northern Puri-

The following article appeared in the
Louisville Bowling Green Nashville Cour-
Ter during its publications in the last nam
ed place. 1t is worthy of republication
just now:
This has been called a fratrieidal war by
some, by Others an irrepressible conflict be-
tween Freedom and Slavery. We respect.
fully take issue with the authors of both
these IDEAS. We are not the brothers OF
the Yankees, and the Slavery question is
merely the pretext. not the cause of the
war. The true irrepressiblo conflict lies
fundamentally in the hereditary hostility,
the sacred animosity, the eternal antagon-
ism between the two races engaged.
The Norman cavalier cannot brook the
vulgar familiarity Of tho Saxon Yankee,
whilst the latter is continually deyisine some
plan TO bring down his aristocra,ic neigh
Dor TO his own deserted level. Thus was
the contest waged in the old United States.
So long as Dickinson doughfaces were to be
bought, aud Cochrane towards to be fright
ened, 50 long was the Union tolerable to
Southern men; but when, owing TO divis-
ions Of our ranks, ne Yankee h,relinqs
placed one oftdir oaoa spraDn over as, po-
Htieal connection became uaendara5ls, and
separation necessary to preserve our ssiJire-
sPeei.
As our Norman kinsman in Fuglapd, al.

countrymen in political vassalage up to the
present day, 50 have wo, the ''sIaye oil

More Insulting LenIency In MeDOwelps
Army.


| A correspondent Of the N. Y. Tribune,
writing from McDowelrs army, tells these
humiliating circumstances:
Although the storm is over now, the sur
shining, and everything presenting very
cheerful appearance, we are even yet un-
able to procure the necessaries of life for
man and beast, while there is plenty here
belonging to the rebels in arms, carefully
guarded by our own men, but no one per-
mitted TO take particlel Idoknow where
there is commissary store belonging to
the rebels, very near our late camping
ground, with corn, bacon, DC, which our
commissaries were not permitted to touch,
but which was carefully guarded by our
own soldiers, while our own division was in
great danger Of mutiny by reason of starva-
tion! Rebel corn can be procured here in
abundance, and also bacon, -four, &c. Yet
our orders are that it shall not be touched |!
Now, if l were in my own sweet home,
and should read of such warfare here in
this hot-bed of treason, I would not believe
it. But am here, and see it for myself,
and affirm that is truei Nor is this all
l believe that the 100 rebel prisoners con.
fined hero are now better fed and cared for
than our own brave soldiers. Almost overy
rebel house in Front Royal is guarded by
our soldiers, while the inmates freely ex-
press their contempt for our Government,
and some of them demand nothing less than
gold and silver, and enormous prices, for
their bread and meat.
In word, everything that can be done
for the benefit und comfort Of our enemies
seems to be done, while our own soldiers
must put up with what they get, which is
about half rations, little or no shelter, and
forced marches through storm and mud,
day and night.
Isn't it patriotic TO endure all thisG Do
our military authorities at Washington
know these factsi / am free to say, for
myself, that ] am getting tired of such war.

This is all we ask. If we are only to feed,
aid, encourage and protect them, and starve
ourselves, then, for Gods sake let us 20

General Lloyd Tilghman, the rebel COM
mander at Fort Henry, is not cast down BY
his defeat. y A correspondent Of the Louis
vile Journal tells this story Of an impudsnt
demand which he made upon Gen. Grant;
uTilRhman had the assurance to ask Gen.
Grant 70 e<tesd 10 him ths freedom Of ths CITY
Of Psducdk-in order that be might be In
close communion with his friends and SYM
palhizers- which, Of course, General Grant
refused him, stating, however, that II be de-
sired the freedom OF city, be would send
MIN to Chicago or Cleveland, bat he preferred
confinement In Paducah."
Here is another story Of the same man:
"a number Of rebels were sent 10 Padu-
cab under the charge Of Captain W. s. Hill
lier, of General Grants staff. It happened
that by some oversight Tstious were not Is
sued to some twenty-five Of the privates.-
General Tilghman, in consequence, requested
CAPTAIN Hitler to have dinner prepared for
them by the steward. Captain Hillier in
formed the rebel Tilghman that he had NO
power to comply with this request stating
that he could only extend that privilege to
officers, and that as some eighty Of the men
had been furnished with two days rations
they might share with those men who were
overlooked until they arrived at Psducah-
that evening-when the requisite rations
would be restored to them.
This would not suit the rebel Tilghman, 80
be requested the privilege of ordering Dime
for the men at his own expense, as he said
which was granted and the dinner furnished
but upon the steward of the boat making sp'
plicaiion for his pay, the rebel Tilghman re-
piled that be had no money unless TENNESSEE
money was taken at par, which, of course
was refused, AMI 60 the dinner went unpaid
for"
An Aid CT Tilghmsn having been guilty
of improper conduct after the surrender
Gen. Grant ordered him to be placed in sep
arate confinement, whereupon Tilghman in
terfered again:
"As soon as this order and its ful6lmen
became known, Tilghman waxed warm will
wrath and indignation, and, quoth he, 'it
barbarous-it is disgraceful, and shameful
and he was sstonished, as it was contrary +
his express agreement with Gen. Grant, L
which last remark Capt. Hillier replied that

that his 1.-THE rebel Lloyd Tilghman's) sur
render was not unconditional. But he di

Strange Is Il may seem, the 6rst trial Of
iron-clad war vessels against hostile shots, are
those made by Commodore Foote at Forts
Henry and Donelson. The monster vesesls
Of England and France, the Warrior and La
Gloire, &c, upon the constructionlof which
engineers predicted revolution In naval
warfare, have encountered no enemy's heavy
shot. All the experiments which have been
made by the British Admiralty, to test the
resistance Of heavy armor upon the timber
walls Of ships, are Of lfss practical value,
than the results Of this actual trial by Com.
Foote's foulla against the heavy guns Of
land batteries.
These results Of which we presume SOL
enti6c resume win be given, are undoubtedly
sufficient 70 demonstrate the great value Of
the iron armor. Although the weight and
thickness Of the iron upon these boats is
much less than that proposed by naval engi-
neers abroad, 1t suficed successfully 10 resist
heavy shot many of which glanced from this
impenetrable case and spent their remaining
impetus in the air. Something Of this is
doubtless due to the form Of the vessels hut
this also is part of the construction which
may enter into plans of similar vessels here
after.
