The Ledger says the Rebels have congre-
gated in considerable force at Halvesville,
KY, and boldly and deiantly insulted
the Union citizens. The Union ram
Hornet, with troops, has gone there.
Henderson and Owensboro' were quiet
on Friday, and both towns strongly gar
risoned with Union troops, who arrest
all persons who talk or act in favor of the
rebellion.
The military prisons at Louisville are
so full that daily commitments are made
to the Jeffersonville, Ind, Penitentiary
Passengers from Henderson say the
guerrlllas have appeared with a pretty
strong force opposite Mound City, and it
was feared they would attempt to burn
the Union gunboats building there
A large number of ladies from Albany
have proposed to act as clerks and sales.
mcu for the young men of that place who
will enlist, and give them half their saIa-

their positions to them on their return.
Col. Mcneil, with a detachment OF
Union troops, had fight with Porter's
gaug of guerrillas, near Memphis, Mo,
few days since, in which the Rebels
were badly whipped. Our loss was Is
killed aud 80 wounded and missing. The
Rebel loss was much greater. Twenty.
three of their dead were left on the field

Yorktown Evacuated.

The rebels have evacuated Yorktown
Mcclellan is in hot pursuit. The rebels
seem to be doing all in their power to prove
true the new definition to the celebrated
initials, IF. F. "" At all points it is "For-
tify, Fizzle, 'vacuate." They arc on their
last legs. Elsewhere we give, up to the hour
Of going to press, all the particulars we are
able to obtain Of this Rebel Bull Run and Of
Little Macs pursuit. We expect to hear Of
a great victory for the Union, but not unat-
tended by hard fighting. We think the rebel
army is in such position that it cannot cvade
stand, unless Virginia is surrendered to the
Union by the rebels taking to their heels in
a most cowardly and disgraceful manner
We await events with great anxiety. ..
Last nights mail brought us news Of the
fall Of Williamsburg, after brilliant engage
ment, and its occupation by Gen. Mcclellan.
The rebels. 10000 strong, were completely
routed. Our forces were pursuing them to
Richmond. Of the victory we have but few
particulars, but enough to determine that it
was no halfway sff,ir. Mcclellan will give
the enemy no peace now, and we may ex.
pect to hear Of other hard.fought battles.

Have You I?

John W. Forney writing from Washington
to the Philadelphia Press, makes the follow
ing pertinent inquiries:
Have you ever heard scccssionst talk
politics who did not claim to be Democrat !?
Have you ever heard sympalhizer with
secession talk politics who did not boast of
his Democracy?
This Same Forney, lifelong Democrat,
and the man to whom james Buchanan owed
his election to the Presidency, adds fulther,
"that the men who tried to break down the
the Democratic party in its days Of honor
and loyalty are Eow seeking shelter under
the name Of Democracy in order the more
successfully to assist the rebels in arms
against the Constitution and the laws" The
above are words Of truth and soberness-
Let our readers, if they can, think Of single
man who processes or gives evidence Of SYM
pathy with the South in the present struggle,
and who calls this an abolition war;" that
does not call himself Democrat. We must
confess that we do not know Of single
Northern apologist for Southern treason who
does not vaunt his shame in the name Of De-
mocracy. To what base and ignoble pur-
poses has the noble word Democracy been
prostituted in these latter days by the base
apostatcs who preach their he;lish treason in
its hallowed name. There are many good
and loyal crats,-Democrats in the lit
eral meaning Of the teru.-and they should
by no means be COMPOUNDED with those un-
principled Northern traitors who whclp Sc
cesion as far as their personal safety will
allow, and who are no nearer being true
Democrats than they are to being honorable
and trustworthy men. ..."

Pi;tsburg, May 4, 1862. A tf,irs move very
slowly to-day. Gen. Hallcck is arranging
his army so that everything moves with the
utmost system and regularity.
The divisions were moved from the rear .
the front to-day. The cnemy's pickcts are
in sight, but for day or two there has been
no skirnish Of moment. To morrow Gen.
llallcck moves to the front. With such an
immense army, the advance is necessarily
slow. and several days must elapsc before we
reach Corinth. All reports of evacuation Of
Corinth is declared by Gen. Halleck, bosh.
On Thursday four hundred Germans from
a Louisiana regiment who had been sent out
from the rebel camp on outpost duty in two
detachments. came into our lines in body
with white flags on their guns, and gste them
selves up as dcsertcrs. From this fact arose
nnlnb.rlcss rumors to the effect that one of
our divisions had beer attacked by the enemy,
great loss in killed and wounded, and over
900 prisoners. .-t.4.....

at Grenada, Miss, at the junction Of the Gen.
