Latest FROM KenfncEY.

The Louisville Journal of Saturday
says:
The latest and most reliable informa-
ton we have received from the line of
the railroad, we obtained from the con-
ductor, Captain Swinney, who returned
from Sonora last evening in charge of
the train which left this city yesterday
morning with ammunition and other
supplies for our forces at Green river.
When the train arrived at Souora, ten
miles below Elizabethtowp, those on
board heard rapid and heavy firing at
Munfordville, and there is but little
doubt that an engagement took place
there Yesterday Capt Swinney felt his
way with his train to point about half
a mile below Sonora, where the track is
skirted by heavy timber The train had
no sooner arrived at the wood than it
was fred upon by rebel cavalry, por-
ton of the force galloping off at full
speed, as if they were endeavoring to get
in the rear of the train No damage was
done to the train, nor was any person On
board injured
Eighteen or twenty rebel cavalrymen
wsre seen at another point in that vicin-
ity, but they made no hostile demonstra-
ton. When the train alluded to left
Elizabethtown last evening, it was re-
ported that the rebel pickets were enter
ing that place.

rag The proclamation of JEFF Davis,
a paragraph of which is given in our
telegraph reports this morning, can be
looked upon in no other light than as
the paroxysm of maniac, the howl of
demon rendered desperate by his over
whelming tortures of mind and con-
science.
1t is true that some of the tory papers
of the North joined the rebels in their
cry against Butler, distorting his Ian
guage and incorporating his actions
Yet still they have never attempted dis
passionately to to point out solitary act
Of his which was not in strict accord
ance with honor and right. The real
cause for such hatred against General
Butler by the leaders OF the rebellion
and their northern allies, is the fact that
Butler has treated traitors as traitors,
and has taught them that their treason
was crime. This howl about hanging
Butler and his officers is simply child
ishness.
Desperate as are these rebel leaders,
they dare not thus outrage the laws OF
humanity, and invoke on themselves the
excavations of the civilized world
Besides, there are several difficulties
in the way of executing this fendish pro-
clamation, not the least Of which is catch
ing Gen Butler.
We doubt very much whether Butler
will sleep less quietly or soundly for the
last wild ranting of the rebel President.
BREAKING THEM IN-The soldiers of
the 9th cavalry we're engaged on Satur-
day tn. the interesting pastime of break
ing mules, job that is by no means de-
void OF amusement or of danger
Now and then stubborn creature is
caught which becomes fractions, and
then ludicrous struggle ensues. One
old fellow with two ropes on his neck.
we observed dragging along the wharf
two or three soldiers who were in vain
endeavoring to bring him TO anchor, but
were finally obliged to take turn with
the ropes around solid post before they

liable foundation for such reports. There
are but few negroes in the county-not
enough to get up an insurrection on any

ga We met a few days ago some of
the soldiers of the End Indiana Cavalry,
captured and paroled by the rebels at
Hartsville. They are all anxious to be
exchanged that they may again meet the
rebels and pay off old scores.
When allusion was made to the threat
of hanging Lieut. Col Stewart, they at
once became aroused, and showed the
mounting devil in their eyes.
They declare that if hair of his head
is inju-ed by the cowardly traitors who
only hold and threaten him because they
fear him, that they viii mete out ven
geance to Morgan and his men an hun
dred fold
This feeling isnot confined to the End
cavalry alone, but is largely partaken of
by all the citizens of this State
The rebels will not dare injure Colonel
Stewart further than by detention and
hard treatment. They threaten him be-
cause they fear him, but were they to
execute their cowardly threat they would
henceforth cover at their own shadows
and be startled at the rustling of each
leaf
Colonel Bob Stewart has a thousand
friends, not now in the army, who would
take O terrible oath of vengeance. and
fulfill it, if such an outrage on the laws
Of war and humanity were perpetrated.
His three brothers each as daring as
himself, would call around them their
friends and their name is legion, and
like the blood hound on the track of the
fugitive, would never leave the pursuit
until hundred hecatombs of slaug entered
traitors should avenge their brother 5
death
No, the rebels win not hang Bob
Stewart.

Soldiers Of the Army of the Potomac:
For long time I have kept you inactive,
but not without a purpose. You were to be
disciplined, armed and instructed. The for
midable artillery you now have, had to be con-
structed. Other armies were to move and &C.
complish certain results. | have held you back
that you might give the death blow to the re-
belhon which has distracted this once happy
country The patience you have shown, and
your confidence in your General, are worth
dozen victories. These preliminary results are
now accomplished. l feel that the patient Ia
bors of many months have produced their fruit.
The army of the Potomac is now a real army
magnificent in material, admirable in discipline
and instruction, and excellentIy armed ana
equipped. J our commanders are all that
could wish.
The moment for action has arrived and 1
know that l can trust in you 20 save our Coun-
Try. As | ride through your ranks, see IN
your faces the sure prestige Of victory. feel
that you will do whatever l ask of you. The
period Of inaction is now past. | will bring
you now face to face with the rebels and only
say that 3" May God defend the right In
whatever direction / may move; however
STANCE my actions may appear to you, ever
bear in mind that my fate is linked with yours, /

you wish to be, on the decisive battlefield.
1t is my business to place you there. | am
to watch over you as parent over his children,
and you know that your Generalloves you from
the depths of his soul.
1t shall be my care, as it has ever been, to
gain success with the least loss but l know
that if it is necessary you will follow me to our
gravesf for our righteous cause God smiles upon
U.s. victory attends Us. Yet would not have you
think that our aim is to be obtained without
will not disguise it from you that
you have brave foes to encounter-foemen we'll
worthy of the steel which you will use so well.
shall demand from you great and heroic ex-
ertions, rapid and long marches, desperate cen
Hcts and privations.
We will share all these together, and when
this sad war is over, we will all return 10 cur
homes and feel that we can ask no higher hon
Or than the proud consciousness that we belong
I'd to the Army of the Potomac.
