Malor.General wallace.

The reputation Of this officer for en-
ergy and vigilance has been confirmed
by the manner in which he has conduct
ed business in this vicinity When he
assumed command here, he found us
without an efficient military organiza-
ton, and threatened by victorious and
insolent enemy He took strong meas
ures, and good share Of the credit due
for the decisive progress that has been
made, is properly assigned by public
opinion to him. The people have the
satisfaction of feeling, when they reflect
upon the vicinity of hostile army, that
our troops over the river are under the
immediate command of an officer who is
ever alert, faithful and resolute-CiR
cii,Rdti Commercial
Every one who knows Lew. Wallace,
knows the above is no more than just,
and it is a matter of surprise that he
has not been furnished with the means
and the authority to go out and meet
and rout Kirby Smithand his later de-
nations VIII 10000 troops, who have
been drilled, and who have been under
fire, assisted bya few regiments of the
new levies, under the command of Gen.
Wallace, assisted by the gallant Rey-
nolds, Morris and Love, he would be per-
fectly competent to the task. The men
should have been furnished and the work
done week ago. $3.50 g

do not think they could find even one
exception.
There are but few even of the Butter
nut Democracy who have the impudence
to deny that vallandigham sympathlses
with JEFF. Davis and the rebellion Now
what better are these two members from
Indiana who caucused and voted per-
sistentIy with Vallandigham2 so
Indeed, vallandigham was so odlous
and SO damaging in his influence
that the immortal IA dared not permit
his name to go on their famous circular
the signing of which Judge Law claims
as the proudest act of his life. Why
should the name of Vallandigham be
more damaging to the Circular than
those of Law, Voorhees, and Ben. Wood
They always voted together against the
country, against hurting rebels or against
any and every method for raising money
to pay the soldiers fighting our battles
Let the people of the First and Seventh
Congressional Districts ponder those
things well. sa.e.

55The Dayton Empire is determined
to put the Hon. S. s. Cox in line with
Vallandigham. Cox, it would appear,
objects to being considered Vallandig-
hammer. We quote the following from
the Empire:
cox AND yAILANDIGHAM.
The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes
from the Madison County Democrat, a
report of a colloquy between +" DIR. Lee
men" of that county, and Hon. S. S.
Cox at barbecue near Grape Grove, in
Green county. In it we find the follow
ing:
DR. Lemen-"I cannot support you so
long as you agree with Yallandigham
and such traitors A few isolated
cheers followed this by knot around the
Doctor. Hereupon Cox rolled up his
sleeves, got little higher up on the
stand, and said: SIN two minutes you
will take that back and your hackers
will look very foolish Now, | ask you
in what do l agree with Fallandigham in
which. you object to? Is it certain uoteS
of has at the extra session? fit Is, he
can take care of has record, for he made
1T himself I didn't make 1t for him
When you get through-with him you can
come to me- / stand on my own votes,
and you know, Doctor, for you are not
an ignoramus, that my votes on these
matters you objected to, did not agree
with Vallandigham's S, and do not offend
you. Cheers.I TkFU0WcQp
Now, we have just gone over the Con-
gressional Globe carefully for the pur-
pose, and are able to say that wherever
Mr.. Vallandigham' S, name is recorded
throughout the entire Extra Session, Mr.
Cox's is to be found oR the same side nth
ii on all subjects whatsoever, except the
following:
l. On the question of adjourning
over. July 10, 1861; Congressional
Globe, p. 209 at1.Ne
2. On suspending the rules to enable
Mr.. Loyejoy to introduce bill to repeal
part of the "Matteson Act" of Janua-
ry "a, lS47, relating to the testimony of
witnesses.- August 5, 1861; Congress
sional Globe, p. 553.
3. On the Revenue Collection Force
Bill against which both gentlemen had
voted at the preceding session, on the
I'd of March, II July 10, 1861; Congress
sional Globe, p, 56. ..o, ,~..., =.
4. On the so called "National Loan
BIZ of Secretary Chase, which he him
self and the whole Administration and
country soon after abandoned as a hum
bug, and which has never since been
heard Of July 10, 1861; Congressional
Globe, p 81.
These are the only votes on Legislative
business at the Extra session upon which
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Yallandigham did not
vote together where both voted, And
we recite them, not in reference to Mr..
cox's record, but to show how outrageous
ly Mr.. Vallandighaln has been misrepre-
sented and how certain votes" of his
are continually referred to, which never
were given and have no existence at all
As for this fellow Lemen, he evidently is
an lgnoramus and bfackguard both.
An examination Of the Journals oil
Congress, during the extra and last SEES
sions will show that the two nais-repre
sentatives from Indiana, Daniel w
Voorhees, and John Law voted or dodoed
even more persistently with vallapdig
ham than did the Hon. S. S. Cox. We

Another Engagement at Munford.
ViIlQ

Our military commanders were in tel
egraphic communication yesterday with
Munfordville, and we learn from them
that the fight was renewed by the rebels
at ten o'clock yesterday morning, and
had been continued until o'clock last
evening, without decisive result.
1t is the impression here that Bragg's
forces had been reinforced by those I'M
der the command of Kirby Smith. The
fight yesterday was desperate one, the
contest being for position. At the la
test accounts the massed rebel force was
within few hundreds yards of the Fed
eral intrenchments, and our forces were
greatly fatigued
Reports were current here that Gen.
Buell. had reinforced Col Wilder's gal
liant little army, and that Gen. BuelTs
troops were engaging Braggs rear, but
those rumors were not confirmed.
We are free to confess that we indulge
serious apprehensions as to the result of
the unequal contest which was COM
menced yesterday and continued on the
part of the rebels with all the advantage
on their part of a superiority of numbers.

THE SURRENDER OF BACON CREEK
The stockade fort at Bacon Creek was
surrendered to the rebel cavalry under
Col j. j. MORRISON, on Sunday evening

garrison consisted of Sergeant Ellis, and
twenty-eight men of Co. d, Fifty-fourth
Regiment of Indiana Home Guards.
This regiment was on guard duty at
Camp Morton, when Morgan's raid in
Kentucky demanded their presence, and
they agreed to come here for the rest of
the three months for which they were
enlisted This time was out ten days
ago The regiment had been posted at
different points along the railroad, and

geant Ellis consulted with the rebel Off

Morrison. 1t was agreed that the party
should be paroled not to take up arms until

FRoM BRAGG REBEL ARMY.-From

north and west of Glasgow, and is living
off the fat of the Barrens. They forage
daily for their rations, ard men and ami
mails furnish themselves with the best

| generally conscripts, placed in old regi-
ments, and filling them up to the rebel
maximum-seven hundred and fifty
They are idle, dirty, and degraded
wretches, sleeping mostly without shelter
and in the worst condition imaginable
regarding wearing apparel
On Friday night last Cheathams di-
vision was evcamped at Bear Wallow,
The men said that in the morning they
we're going to Woodland to whip Rosseau
and that Buckner was going with
