TIE EVACUATION OF CUMBERLAND GAP.
E Gen. q. w. korgan's Federal army at Cumberland
Gap has escaped our forces and safely arrived at
Greenupsburg KY. The Cincinnati Commeyci0
gives tho following account of his successful evacua
ton of the Gap:
Gen. Morgan left Cumberland Gap on the night
of the 18th of September, the force of the rebel
Gen. Stevenson being at that time within three
miles Of his front that is to say, south. He was
completely cut off from the Ohio by the forces OF
Bragg, Kirby Smith, John Morgan, and HarshalL-
Gen. Morgan left the Gap emid the explosion of

the guns at the Gap were brought away except four

REV. DR. cHEEvER ON THE PRocLAMATIoN-THE

OF THE UNIVERSE" TO INTERFERE.
Rev. DR.. Cheever, of New York, had his say on
Sunday last His brother in iniQuity, Beecher, got
q week ahead Of him on the emancipation procla-
nation, but We think Cheeyer gets little ahead CO
him in profanity. From q report of his sermon
we take the following:
We do not mean to let this Union be destroyed
or to let the rebel States 60 out of the Union for
when the great fact was settled that the Union was
to be for freedom, by the help Of God we will com.
pel every one of the Southern States to come back
into 1t on the principles Of freedom. As soon as
We came to that determination, God would give us
the victory. We will keep all We have got and get
all we can from the Government. We do not mean
to leave this informal system - legacy Of misery
to future generations. We call upon the Govern
ment, in the language Of the Constitution, to give
us what 1t guarantees, ~ moro perfect Union In
liberty, justice, and equity" God had given us
