THE NEWS.
The news from Washington gives anoth-
.cr provoking proof Of the danger Of lcay-
ing our Brisadiers lying around loose,
with the enemy so ready to move upon
them without warning. We sympathize
with Gen stoughton. It was o bitter joke
dor the rebs to take Stoughton. It is sta
ted in the dispatches rs piece Of aingu-
lar good fortune for Gen. Wyndham that
he WIS in Washington, and not ut home
when the enemy arrived. The country
will continue to believe that the Fairfax
affair was a piece Of military stupidity
until convinced thRtit is sentirely the proper
thing.
We hare further details of the affair be-
low Nashville, :Thompson's Station, a
few miles below Franklin, and twenty
nine miles from Nashville, on the Nash-
vile and Decatur Railway. It was sore
affair for our forces. 1t is spoken Of in
our dispatches Of last night as likely to
bring on general engagement, the enemy
being in force, and eyincing determine
lion to make stand at that place.
The secesh sheet in this city dissusts
even Border State men, with whom it tries
to keep up a sympathy. It has q dirty
little correspondent at Cincinnati, one of
the force on the Copperhead Enquirer, who,
by contract, sends it BY telegraph all the
monstrous f;alsehoods got up for that sheet,
but sometimes found too large for the bore
even Of that gun. Thus the canard
that Prentice, as will be seen elsewhere,
corrccts yesterday, And equally SO the
other canazd Of yesterday which announces
The discovery Of q wholesale treason aud
massacre plot in Kentucky. We know of
only one thing mcancr then the pubhca-
lion Of such fabrications, and that is the
appropziating ofdispatches belonging to its
neighbors which fall into its hands by mis-
take. Will the secesh Times own TINT its
Franklin dispatch yesterday was ours. It
certainly was 60.
The dispatches give us list Of the long
looked for combinations OF Major Generals
and Brigadicr Generals. Among the lat
Ter will be found some names that Illinois
ans, especially, will rejoice to see thus wor-
thily hono7ed.
We have nothing new from down the
river No further light is thrown On tic
1ndianola mystery. Cairo dispatches Of
last evening failed US utterly.
The news from the South is interesting.
but Of no especial moment. The public
have so often read that something was
about to take place, that no sensation at
taches to any such announcement now.
We give further and important details as
to the late serious Detroit riot The errors
in the previous account are corrected. The
perpetrators we're not Germans, and fur
fhcr than this negatively no nationality is
now specified. The affair reflects little
credit upon the cowardly authorities Of
that city, and if there YVES an official in
1own Of 50 high u grade as constable,
Tint functionary should blush to the tin of
his ears. Naturally the citizens arc greatly
chagrined at the circumstance, and their
views have been freely ventilated at public
meeting, in which measures were taken for
the relief Of the sufferers, and precautions.
against recurrence OF like disgrace
Happily the riot cost no lives, though it
should have done SO if show of firearms
did not suffice to disperse the mob. The
affair will, and should, stand as lesson of
warning in all our communities. These
are strangely e2citable times, and the
powers that be should at all times bc ,,ro
pared to preserve public order and the
safety and property Of citizen from ont.
