As we write this paragraphs, we are
looking anNiously and eagerly, YET con-
Gdcnty, for idings from Louisville. A
letter from that city, dated the 23d
inst, to a gentleman of this place, says
that CrHls Army, probably 10000
strong, had arrived and had llankcd the
rebel army. We feel satisfied that the
rebels must either retreat precipitately
or be terribly defeated And yet, il the
news should be unIayorable, we shall
not abate one iot OF our faith in the tri-
umph of thcatause. TIM UNITED STATES
WILL LAVE.

Negro Soldiers in the Rebel Army
More Testimony.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writing from Gallipolis, says;
Several officers and men who were en-
gagged in the late battles state that there
are several companies of armed negroes in
the rebel army in the kanawha Valley,
and this report is also made by contra
bands possessing the Tribune attribute
Of intelligence. Ii may or may not be
so as regards organized companies Of
darkkies, but Il Is certain there are nero
soldiers ta me rebel ranks lng2sy Lorug.
Last week one of Captain SCOTS men,
belonging to the 2d Virginia cavalry, was
fired upon by a negro who was ambushed
along the road. The Ethiopian paid
dearly for his target practice. He was
run out of his hiding place and fell,
pierced by more than twenty balls lie
,e1S dressed IN the regular gray uijo,m of
He rebel soldiers, and mas euident2y an en-

A RAILROAD THRouGu THE PYEESEEs.--
The great chain Of the Pyrences has al
last been crossed by a railroad, which
extends from the Port of Bilboa on the
Bay of Biscay TO the town of NJ iranda on
the river Ebro The entire distance is 60
miles-all within the limits Of Spain.
South Of Bilbao the mountains rise very
abruptly, and there occurred all the en-
ginoering difficulty in crossing. The
summit is at an elevation Of ., 1913 feet
above tide level, and this has been OBJ
tanned by a maximum grade Of 7G feet to
the mile The first train passed ON the
2lst ult, and on the day following the
road was formally opened, a large num-
Der of xandees being in attendance. The
road will be continued down the Ebro 10
its mouth. On the Bay Of Biscay q pier
one mile long is being constructed, giving
that place the best horbor ON the North
crn coast Of Spain.

Our Gnerrillas.

There are some five or six hundred rebel /
bushwhackers, operating around this
place, within a circuit whose radius is
some twenty miles in extent, who may
be called with propriety mr. bushwhack-
ers. They prowl in squads numbering
from fifty 10 one hundred in the very
vicinity Of the city, aud frequently come
in smaller squads within mile or two
Of our lines. On Sunday evening a dozen
Of them rode up and fred on our pickets
on the Charlotte pike without doing
any damage; while return fire brought
two Of the rascals down, who were then
captured The same evening a rare farce
was played by these shirtless and un-
washed lire-eaters. A fellow by the
name Of Calvert, who was a policeman
here some years ago, belonging to one OF
these gangs, got on big drunk and bet
hundred dollars that he could ride into
the city in daylight and back again
without being interrupted The bet
was taken by another bush-whack-
er as drunk as himself, the whole
party being on regular Robert
son bender. CALVERT who seems to be a
fellow of some practical humor, then
asked FOR flag Of truce, and after strip

The Louisville Journal gives following
extract from General KIRBY S,urH'- pro-
clamaiion 10 the people Of Kentucky:
The Major General commanding the
Army Of Kentucky finds that in the sup
ply Of necessaries for the army, the notes
Of the Confederate Government are essen

JedTate notes are perfectly secure and reliable,
and are convertible into eight per cent
bonds al the option of the holder. lie,
therefore, caIs g8 MI, and requires citizens To
accept The same IN aH territory occupied by
The Confederate forces lie requests
them all to reopen their stores and re-
sumo business
Here this Major-General Of the Com
fcderatc army solemnly informs the pco-
pie Of Kentucky that the Confederate
notes are perfectly secure and reliable"
and he requires all citizens to accept the
same" in payment of debts, etc By his
proclamation and the aid of cannon and
bayonets he iegalizes the notes Of the
Richmond Confederacy. lie not only
legalizes them by force but also griyely
assures The unhappy persons whom his
soldiers compel 10 barter their crops for
Confederate paper, shat the notes they
receive are perfectly good In reply 20
this assertion of General SMITH, we might
ask, whether any creditor in the Southern
Confederacy would be willing to collect
good debts, we'll secured, in Confederate
notes Would any creditor receive such
money if he conld help himself? Would
any secession merchant in this city, tax,

Would any intelligent farmer in This
county accept such money for provendcr
or provisions But we need not ash
such questions to refute General SMITH
statement We find in the commercial
column Of the Richmond Enquirer, .
September 18th, far more ellectual relu
tation Of this empty boast of rchc
General, than we could elaborate in

SMITH is ellectualIy answered. And no,
we ask how much better than highwa
robbery is it to force farmers and store

nay, il is worse, for il is adding the in
