WASHINGTON, Sept ga special to
the Post says the Army of the Potomac
is in motion. Transports are loadino
with great activity, and it is expected a
considerable body of forces will embark
with as little delay as possible.
Their destination can only be coniec-
tured. In the mean time there is equal
activity shown in forwarding troops in
another direction.
The Government has taken posses
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, and no more travel for civil purpo-
ses will be allowed.
Some important movement is contem-
plated on this road.
1t is currently said here, and such in
fact is the purport of the information
that we receive from various sources.
that the reinforcements sent off to the
help OF Bragg against Gen. Rosecrans.
have left Richmond almost defenceless,
There is only handful of troops
remaining, left for the security of the
rebel capital.
The late battle of Chattanooga would
have had different result if the orders
OF the Government had been more pune
tually obeyed. -
The Government was aware of the de-
signs of the rebels in reinforcing Bragg,
namely to overwhelm our army by suDe
rior forces, aud sent message by tele-
graph to Gen. Burnside ordering him to
reinforce Rosecrans with the men under
his command.
Burnside replied that he was on his
way to Jonesboro and would join Rose
Grams as soon as he had occupied that
place.
The Government then repeated the or
der IN peremptory manner, ordering
him to reinforce Rosecrans immediately.
Two days afterwards telegram was
received from Burnside to the effect that
he had taken Jamesboro, and that he
should now proceed to the assistance of
At the latest advices the main body of
the troops under Burnside were at Ath-
ems, with his advance at Chattanooga.
The Government is not satisfied with
this proceeding of Burnside; and it is
yet to be seen what necessity there was
for his neglecting to obey the order given
him IN such express terms.
The President will have an interview
at 3 o'clock this afternoon with the dele

GUERRILLAs IN. MoTIoN.-We have re.
liable information that a considerable
force of guerrillas have crossed the Ten
nessee River near Fort Holman, coming
North. The number has been reported
as high as 1000, which is PROBABLY an
exaggeration There is no doubt, how
ever, that there are movements now be-
ing made by these rowing bands of
thieves and murderers, who, hoping to
take advantage of the exigencies of the
service which calls all our available
forces in Tennessee and Kentucky to the
front, are concentrating their forces, in
the hope of making successful foray
into Kentucky, or even across the Ohio
River. We are only surprised that they
have not been earlier in motion, and
have not caused much trouble and loss
to the Government ere now.
But now there is no doubt danger is
threatening Southwestern Kentucky, and
the authorities should take the most
prompt and energetic measures to pro-
vide against it
The extremely low stage of all the
rivers is highly favorable to these pred
atory excursions, and the scarcity of
troops in the region threatened gives
these freebooters prospect of success
and comparative immunity. There is,
however, a reasonable prospect that
they will find themselves sadly mistaken.
Already expeditions are organized and
battle their Vaccinations and tInnred
herited punishment on the Williams.
In the meanwhile it becomes the au
thorities of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois to
make preparations, not only to defend
our own borders, but to send prompt aid
to Kentucky, if it should become neces-

A Terrible Railroad Accident-FtVe
PersoMs Killed and ~ wounded.

CHICAGO, Sept 26.-At half-past six
o'clock last evening special train, con-
sisting of locomotive and twenty
coaches, left Kalamazoo, Mich, bound
west. While coming down the thirty
mile grade, between Malthswan and
Lawton, some drunken rowdi8 near the
rear end of the train cut the bell rope,
and pulled out the link between the cars,
thus dividing the train. Being upon the
down grade the engineer did not discover
the loss of the portion of his train and
did not stop until he reached Lawton,
withsn two miles of the rear portion.
Seeing the rear coming down grade the
engineer put or steam with such force
to get out of the way that the coupling
between the en- zine and cars broke, and
a collision between the two portions OF
the cars took place. Five persons were
killed outright and twenty-five wounded,
some of them so seriously that recovery
is impossible.

Mr.. Losier, by his eloquent and thrill.
ing appeals, drew tears from MANY an
eye in the audience, and reused their
enthusiasm in the cause of the soldier
and the country to the highest pitch, and
closed by announcing that a collection

at his suggestion, several persons were
designated to take down names Git being
the design to keep record of the names

may know who are their real friends,
and to receive money as it was paid in.

liberal and patriotic citizens led Of BY

stated that nearly $500 had been given |
the same day Saturday at Princeton, |
and that, so far, the little county of /
Switzerland was the banner county, and
Jefferson county the next-the latter
giving $500 and the former something
over that amount
Mr.. Lozier's audience concluded that
Evansville and suburbs could and would |
give $1,000 if the proper efforts we're
made; so it was concluded to appoint a
committee of two persons for each
ward, and two for the suburbs, whose
duty it should be, previous to Tuesday
next (as the emergency arising from the
late battles of Rosecrans is pressing) to
call on our citizens and ask their dona-

The Sanitary Fund-..()ur Duty.

Evansville is the second city in the
State in Importance and wealth, and
Vanderburg county has as large num-
Der of soldiers in the field, in proportion
to population, as any county in the State.
The city has always been liberal in con-
tributing to benevolent objects, and she
can afford, and it is her duty to give as
much as any other place of equal size
for the amelioration of the sufferings of
Indianas sick and wounded in the army
of the Republic. This army is our pro-
lection from the ravages of war-it is a
living bulwark between our city and the
enemy-and it is our bounden duty to
see that our noble boys do not unneces-
sarily suffer while in the performance of
their duty
Jefferson county, in which Madison is
situated, has given s., 500 for sanitary pur-
poses. The small county of Switzerland
has given more. Now, let us make Van
derburg the banner county in this holy
cause. We have made good start-over
500 having been subscribed at an i'm
promptu meeting when but few of our
most wealthy citizens were present. Now
let US resolve to raise $4,000 for the benefit
Of those whose sacrifices enable our peo-
pie at home to live in peace and q 1ietness
and to amass wealth, and enjoy more |
han former comfort and prosperity. Let
as do this, and Vanderburg county, and
is hourishing city, will have a new wreath
If honor placed upon their brow. The
,eople of the country can then exclaim,
