 MT. Seynours lecture before the Library As sociation last Thursday evening, was a well-con |ceiyed and handsomely delivered address upon :" Personal Independence" and afforded univer Isal delight to the select audience who had as sembled to hear him despite the severe storm.
 We may be permitted to say, however, that l these lectures have none of them been attended as they ought to be, both for the sake of the ob ject of the course, and for the benefit some peo- pie might receive from the really instructive and entertaining lectures themselves. However, some people prefer to burrow themselves up and re- main torpid. and stupid, and motionless all win ter-like the wood chuck. Perhaps, the outlay of len cents offers an extra inducement for them to stick in their holes. t.7 -. E2# Jas.

The N. Y.

The brave fellow had been reared and very generously treated by the capt aims father, and had declared when enlist ing that he would be happy to die to save the life of his benefactors son.

LOUISVILLE, aug. 70
The Democrats correspondent has just
arrived from Cumberland Gap on the
evening of the 23d, and reports the
Federal troops in excellent health and
spirits, and eager for fight. They have
an abundance of provisions for so days.
Every few days our forces send out for
aging paties, sometimes consisting Of
hundred wagons, into Powelrs valley,
Tennessee, who invariably return loaded,
the foragers always driving off whatever
rebel force they meet.
The correspondent says the Federals
can hold the Gap against any force; that
the rebels don't mean to attack, but think
they can starve the Federals out The
number of rebels this side is estimated at
10000 to 10000, trying to get into
Sandy Valley to join Cerro Gordo VIII
liams. On Friday last, Col. Garrard with
$50 of his and Munday's regiments, went
on an expedition to ascertain the position
of the enemy and force his way through
their lines to join Nelson.
They had one brush with Stearns'
Cavalry on the route, and succeeded in his
expedition at Red Bird Creek. On Mon
day Garrard met one hundred and fifty
of Stearns' Cavalry, killing three, and
mortally wounding two, when the re-
mainder scattered at full speed. Mullins,
of Munday's Cavalry, was killed. No

To Hon. E. N. Stanton, Sec. Of War =
Major Champion Vaughn, of General
Blunt's staff, has arrived at these head
quarters with dispatches. General Blunt
marched with 1900 men from Fort Scott,
August 18th, and followed the rebels as
far north as Lone Jack. The enemy declined
an engagement and commenced a retreat.
They were hotly pursued by Gen. Blunt
and driven in utter confusion across the
Usage, with the loss of all transportation
and equipments, besides numerous arms,
prisoners, sc.
tits considered that the expedition saved
the Missouri towns on the western border,
besides striking terror into the hearts Of
the enemy as far as the Arkansas line.
Gen. Blunt's column returned TO Fort
Scott on the 22d, having marched nearly
300 miles in six days.
Col Cloud was left to continue the pur-
suit, and it is not improbable that the main
force of the rebels will be forced to sur
render. (Signed.) 1870

THE Picnic IN CANP.-Y esterday was a
gay and festive day to the soldier boys in
Camp Cleveland. The ladies furnished them
with sumptuOus repast, which they enjoyed
greatly. Not that good ratiSns are nOtserved
out to the soldiers every day, for no fault
whatever has ever yet been found with Com
misssry spangler, yet soldiers enjoy luxuries
as well as others, and besides that an oppOr-
tunity was afforded for the ladies to prove
their good will towards the defenders of the
country. Tables were arranged in the form
of a square on the parade ground, and the
troops were marched to proper situations
from which to make a simultaneous and eff
feetive attack upon the eatables. Col. Case
ment simply remarked to the men that their
principal business just then was to eat, and
told them to fall to, which they did with a
will. As the remark implied that the usual
windy harrangues would be dispensed with
on the occasion, several who came loaded with
speeches suffered grevious disappointment no
doubt. Leland's band lent melody to the oc-
casiOn. After the repast the afternoon was
devoted to dancing, merriment and sOciality.
