will be assigned to the command of the depart. ment of the west Gen. Pope has taken the field Confederate forces under Ewell, 20,000 or 30,000 strong, are reported to be between Orange Court House, Gordonsvie and Stan ardsvile Warm work is expected. The Lou isvilIe Express has been suppressed. The raids of guerrillas in Missouri seem to be quite for midable. Large gangs are said to have enter ed the State from Arkansas. The city of Han nibal is almost deserted by the inhabitants in conseQuence of apprehensions of guerrilla raids. Two guerrilla bands have lately been routed one near Patten, the other near Fulton. In the last engagement, they lost 13 to 100 killed and wounded. A gang of guerrilias have cap tured Russellville, Ky. Two cannon have been received by the Confederates at Richmond, present from merchants of England to the Con- ederates, an evidence of their neutrality!
 By the following it will be seen that Vicks- burg grapes are very sour:
 According to the Cairo Gazette, Com. Davis fleet will be temporarily withdrawn from Nicks- burg for the purpose of operating along the river between that city and Memphis. The cap ture of Vicksburg, now that the rebels are strug- gling with some prospects of success, to regain their lines in Tennessee, does not seem so de- sirable as it was. The possession of that place now could be of no possible advantage to us.
 Orders have been issued by the federal gov ernment to pay no more specie for cotton. Holders of cotton in the South, accessible to northern markets, will hereafter be compelled to take currency when offered, or submit to a ! confscation of half their cotton. The use oi gold in such transaction is interdlcted. | Gov Magonin, of Ky, has called the legisla- ture. One paragraph in his proclamation is worth studying. He says:
 Any attempt on my part to organize a force for that purpose will certainly precipitate the evil, and therefore, not unwillingiy convene the General Assembly that they may themselves determine the extent of the authority granted 1 by them and looking to the policy adopted ir 1 the State and the late action of Congress and the President, touching the question of slavery to provide for the safety of our institutions and the. peace and tranquility of the common wealth.
 We give the Bulletin's version of some spir tied confederate attacks and the spiteful revenge the Yankees took by numbering innocent men
 From the Cairo Gazette, July 3lst.
 The guerrilla depredations on the Mobile Ohio railroad, near Humboldt consisted, as wt stated Tuesday, in the destruction merely of { small bridge. This bridge was guarded by fifty Union troops, from Jackson. The guerrilla force was two thousand strong. Three or foul men were shot dead in their tracks, half dozeI were taken prisoners, and the balance escaped
 Citizens of Jackson, Tenn, who had take1 the oath of allegiance, piloted the rebels to tht bridge, and then returning to their homes pu On all unusual show of Unionism. Gen. Logar learning of their dupctv, caused the arrest o fifteen of them. In their houses were found the mu3kets and accoutrements of three soldier; who were killed. These houses were burned tC the ground.
 On Tuesday one of the parties arrested, Mir Whipple wealthy and influential man, was tried and found guilty. He was sentenced tC be hanged at the bridge he had been instru mental in destroying. Gen. Logan approved the sentence, and yesterday, at three o'clock, il was carried into execution.
 Two others under arrest will undoubtedly be convicted and executed.
 General Logan Is determined to resort to ex treme measures for the protection of the lines of supply for his army He published sometime since his order, wherein he declared his inten- ton to hang citizens guilty of bridge burning etc., and yesterday carried it into effect against wealthy and prominent citizen of Jackson Tennessee, who assisted in destroying the rail road bridge near Humboldt few days ago.
 The wife and two daughters, said to be very intelligent a-d f-apaa4ess,ne women, visited tht General and prayed for mercy for the doomed man. Logan, fearing that his sympathes might influence hm, left them, assuring them that he could not relent; that the convicted man had caused the slaughter of three of his men, and sought, contrary to his most sacred obligations to encompass the destruction of his army.
 Brdge-burners in Logan's command will un doubtedly hang.
