A correspondent writing rs from the
Army of the Potomac, saysi. 81
General Hooker, so far has shown
himself TO be great chieftain, in the true
sense Of that term He has done his ut
most to bring up the spirit OF the army,
aud his labor has been rewarded with
the most gratifying success. The recent
brilliant affair at Kelley's Ford, where
our cavalry rushed upon The foe, without
firing a shot, and sabered the rebels in
their inirenchments, is but one indiea-
ton of the great change he has wrought
The utter worthiessncss Of our cavalry
had long been the standing reproaeh of
this army. "Who ever saw a dead caval-
ryman p was the derisive interrogatOry
from every branch Of the service. Gem
eral Hooker resolved This should cease.
He told his Chief1of Cavalry be would
have nomOre disgraSefu surprises Said
he to a brigadier Of cavalry, Il know
the South, and know the North. In
point of skill, of intelligence, and of
pluck, the rebels will not compare with
ouI men, If they are equally well led.
Our soldiers are q better quality of men.
They are better fed, better clothed, better
armed, and infinitely better mounted !;
for tie rebels are fully half mounted on
mules, and their animals get but two RAJ
tions Of forage per week, while ours get
seven. Now, with such soldiers, and
with sucl. cause as we have behind them
the best cause, the most sacred cause,
since the world begsn--we ought TO be
invincible, and, by ----, sir, we shall
be You have got TO stop these disgrace
full cavalry surprises ? I'll have no
more Of them | give you full power
over your officers, TO arrest cashier
shoot whatever you will---only you
must stop these surprises! And, by
-, sir, If you don't do it, l give you
fair notice, will relieve the whole of
you, and take command of the cavalry
myself That is the kind of talk for
tardy or delinquent officers, and the first
fruits thereof may be read in the fash
and ring of gallant sabers at Kelly's
Ford. Tits the kind of talk 10 F,fe.Bi an
army, and 70 win battles, and 10 save q

The accounts which We have this
morning relating TO military operations
in the vicinity of Lexington are quite
meagre, The report that an engagement
had taken place at or near Camp Dick
Robinson lacks confirmation but there
has no doubt been more or less skirmish-
ing in that region.
The intelligence received by this train
leads US to believe that the rebel cavalry,
to the number OF twelve or fifteen hund-
red, which occupied Danville on Wednes-
day, have evacuated that place aud re-
treated in the direction Of Somerset.
They stole n large number ofhorses, but
did but little other damage.
Some excitement still existed in Licking
ton and the neighboring towns and soua .
Wy, but the beat informed people there
and in that vicinity do not regard the
rebel advance as q formidable invasion,
but as a mere cavalry raid.

Col COOPER, receiving the sword, said:
Officers of the 9Th: am at loss TO
find words to express the gratitude
feel for this beautiful present, and more
especially for the confidence you seem TO
place in me. While some of you, when
we were first organized, were down on
me for my course Of drill and discipline,

Ofmy course, gives me great consolation

enemy. u io1 a1. 7.il om .
We Of East Tennessee, we're not a
war-like people, our pursuits had been
in different sphere; some of us were
farmers, some merchants, some mechan-
ice, some students at school but none of
us were "West Pointers" and it was
hard for us TO see The importance of drill
and discipline. vd tHair

disruption Of ibe Charleston Democratic
Convention / saw, or thought saw,
premeditated plan to destroy this gov
eminent and have watched them until
to-day, and there is not nor has there
ever been such a set Of traitors on Gods
green earth. 3i siau
They have murdered our fathers, I'm
prisoned our brothers and children, have
insulIed our wives and daughters, and I
for one have signed a ishole schole,. I o put
them down. There is but one way for
the rebels to get shut Of me, and that is
for them to kill me or disable me- for as
long as am able, / shall trouble them,
aud if should make a blunder and get
out Of Office, shall take musket and
knapsaek and go into the ranksand Hght

| would say TO the laboring men of
Tennessee; 60 to the fathers, the great
men who laid the foundations of our
liberties. Learn wisdom from them, cut
loose from the councils Of scoundrels,
who are Leading you TO ruin; escbew the
hell-born, anarchical, free love, demi-
gogue government. Consider that God
has denounced rebellion, and declared
governments ordained Of himself mean
ing such only as are founded in justice
Consider that a government whose chief
cornerstone IS slavery--resiing upon
slavery, boldly avowing in the face of
the whole world the determination to
make it perpetual, aud to extend it
wherever they have power TO force it,
cannot be of God, for The almost unani-
nous sentiment Of the Christian world
condemns it, and the consciences Of good
men, Of just men everywhere is panied
and outraged al tho spectacle Of the
greatest iniquity, the most stupendous
crime ever attempted upon poor suffering
humanity. Consider that our fathers,
and every religious denomination in the
world, outside of the Slave States, be-
lieved slavery a sin; and until recent
period every church in the South so re-
garded it. Consider such government
eternisiBg evil, sin, and iniquity, can
not be of God. as

guage of a man, claiming TO speak the
councils Of God, to give utterance TO his
fixed creed. aosa "a ..s- 1-s
The expression, hew,rs Of wood aud
drawers Of water, denotes those who
work for hire, are employedio labor, are
dependant upon labor for means of
living. II is in this sense that the
hewers of wood and drawers Of water
are used by Mr.. PALMER. Then in the
judgment of Mr.. PALMER, at is the coun-
Gil Of God and the decree of Heaven,
that he has destined to utter, that il may
be successfully maintained, that all who
are dependant upon labor for living
all who arc employed 10 labor receive
wages for labor. The true relation OF
all such is slavery. l read thi senti.

loyal Presby terrain of Texas, and asked

opinion, be made too hot for such un-
mitigated scoundrels, DEBow says that
MILTON in his great epic poem Hmade his
Eve a negro wench" because he repre-
sents her as the helpmate ofherhusband,
preparing his daily repast. Or, CART
WRIGHT says "the women of the West
who have not negroes to do their work,
are only ct to breed families" Here is
a trio of aristocratcal seOundrels, and as
DEBow admires the British Government
above all others, / think he could not OBJ
ject TO being punished as England
Furnishes rebels rammed down a
big cannon, and wadled with the
parscn, Think the latter should be
executed without tho benefit of
clergy, he could not object
upon his theological doctrines. To catch
and punish the scoundfel, would, / have
no doubt, be, agreeable 10 God, and all
good men. But there is catching before
shooting or hanging.
