Terrible FIRE at Fulton, NY.

FULros, N. Y, Oct. "A terribly destructive
FIRE occurred in the large Touring mill of Ken
yon & johnson, at the lower river bridge, on the
west side of the canal. The flames soon spread
across the bridge, attacking the mill Of Baker
Co., taking the bridge on the way, and entirely
consuming the large -four store houses of W. s.
Nelson in its progress northwardly con-
suming the mill Of Barker l. Co., and the exten.
sive furniture and machine shop of Justin Cum
mings, the telegraph mills of Stevens l. Dwight,
the woollen factory and woollen machine works
of A. J. Thayer, the furniture machine shop OF
W. P. Buell., the large mill of Gardner Benedict.
The large building occupied by J.L Good
rich as a woollen factory, A. R. Ware, Wheel
wright, and n. E. Lasher, as sash, blind and
door factory, and the building occupied by NJ.
W. Cutler as planning mill, wooden ware and
carpenter shop, and dwelling house, occupied
by two families, were rapidly and entirely destroy
ed. All the force pumps ON which the village
has heretofore depended in fires in this locality
were located in the several mills, and were OF
course soon rendered useless.
The bridge across Oswego river was also on
fire, and before the destroying element could be
checked, three spans Of about l5o feet we're

From Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 5.-The special dispatch Of
the I'd concerning the taking Of 500 rebels by
Rosecran's division was incorrect, and doubt
less was based on the fact that an entire Georgia
regiment of cavalry, $50 strong, was captured
in the early part of last week by Lieut. Colonel
Steward of the I'd Indiana cavalry, commanding
bis own and the I'd and Sd Kentucky, which
surrounded and completely surprised the rebels
at breakfast, who surrrndered without the
slightest resistadce.
Col. Crawford, commanding the captured
regiment, is an Ex-Congressman, and one of the
Confederate Peace Commissioners to Washing
ton.
The.prisoners reached here last evening
The rebels in large force evacuated Bards-
town yesterday morning at 2 o'clock. Brig.
Gen. Van Cleve of Crittenden's corps entered
Bardstown last evening at o'clock, 8 hours af-
ter the evacuation by the rebels and hasted to
pursue them. This morning rumor is preva--
lent that Gen. Lill's force was attacked by Kir-
by Smiths force at Harden's Hill and was driv-
en- back miles. This rumor is entirely discred
tied here.

approved the homestead bill, and it is
now the law of the land. Thus this
most humane and just measure Of pub
lie policy, which intelligent freemen Of
the North have, advocated for years,
and bigoied narrow minded secession

is about to confer its unspeakable advan.
tages upon free labor. The wilderness

R The attention of our farmers

of Ohio, which we publish in another
column. The greatest pest to coed

plague is in great measure removed,
or at least the thriftless farmer who
allows his hegs to gain a precarious
subsistence by roaming on the highway,
or dishonest living by trespassing on
the land Of his neigbbor, must make
amends for it. as he justly should. a
