CINCINNATI, March %, 1869.
Intelligence has reached here that the Cluke,
who made the Last foray into Kentucky, emboldened
by an advancing support from Knoxville, has COM
menced snJiher march northward, with his COM
mand increased TO nearly ono thousand men, by ac-
ees6ions from all parts Of tho State. Yesterday or
to-day-accounts diifcr-he marched 10 the capture
Of Mt. Sterling. On his approach our men mustered
all their force sick and wounded, making in all but
aboat two hundred, with which they made slight
resistance, and shortly surrendered. Cluke then set
fire to the town, laying the Court House, and two
squares In ruins. Re-enforcemepts being sent TO
Paris and 1t 10 believed that Cluke be cut of and
captured by a dexterous movement from Frankfort
and Lexington before the forces now advancing
from Knoxville can give him succor.
Maj. Gen. Burnside will arrive bore on Tuesday
morning, il is supposed to take command Of this De-
partment.

Army OF THE T.yyYssEy Opposite Vicksbure)
below Youpgs Point, MADISON PARISH, La,
Monday afternoon. March 10, 1868. }
Everything continues qaie. along the Lower Mis-
sissipp and Vcksburg seems as far from its fall ~
it did a month ago. Movements are on foot, how.
ever that indicate events will ere long be brought
to focus. am not at liberty TO mention these in
DETAIL but will state that Hainess Bluff 20 miles
up the YszOo, appears the most probable place fol
the next and earliest action.
Our gunboats in this vicinity have found method,
understand, Of steaming above the Bluff from be
low whou. engaging the enemy's batteries; and
you have already learned that part of the flCta,
with number of transports. have gotten through
into the Yszoo by way of Yazoo Pass, II miles be.
low Helena.
Part Of Gen. McPherson's corps, the 17th has left
Providence for the Pass and the remainder will EN-
bark in a day or two.
The movements of the Rebels at Vicksburg as
week were for tho transfer of troops by rail K
Grenada whence they can march by good anc
short road to the Yazoo, where, ~ have sa'd they
vii, no doubt dispute the passage OF our forces
Should we be enabled to make an assault uPor
Haines's Bluff from above and below at the SAME
tine, which ,eems highly probable at present, We
would no doubt be succesAul at that point and have
an excellent opportunity TO march upon Vicksburs
from the rear and possess the city.
No attack will be made, presume, upon Haines' :
Bluff from above until the two Corps, the l3tn ana
18th. under McCIernaud and Sherman-the former
az Milhkens Bend and the latter herecan fully CO.
opsrate with the assaultin2 party there. AS Gen.
Grant and Admiral Porter remain here, suppose
this will be the more important point OF operations,
and unless some new developments occur, shall
continue near the headquarters OF the Commander
| n-Chief.
From deserters and spieSwo hearuumerous stories
of the growing scarcity of supplies in and about
Vicksburr but az the enemy is not yet cut OF from
the Red River country or from the regular railway
communication with the entire " Confederscy' by
way of jackson, Miss, there is little reason 70 os
Iieye his alleged suffering and deprivation are AZ an
serious. However, AZ the siege extends issen, Nc
will necessarily consume his substance anu ais ns

The canal shows no signs OF amendment 10 yet'
though efforts continue to be made 10 stop its ere
vases. The work upon it appears badly managed.
A listlessness and lack Of energy cbaraeterlZe the
labor aud the aborers and can perceive no reason
Tor believing il will soon be repaired. =,
Almost daily we have heavy storms, ana she
waters of tho river give no promise OF suosiding
There IL still good deal OF sickness IN the army,
I'm, most of the cases that have declared themselves

There is no prospect of immediate activity here OF

THE D'UTAsSY COURT.MARTIAL.
A mystery hangs over the sudden termination OF
the d Utassy court-rnarsl and the dismissal OF the
accused from the service. 1t appears that much
time and labor had been expended in preparing the
case for trial. procuring witnesses, and drawing the
specifications. About one week since when the
court was ready 30 proceed the specifications were
not to be found. 1t was subsequently 30 strongly
suspected that DUtassy had stolen them that a
separate specification, charging him with the THEFT
was added making the whole number sixty nine In
these D'Utassy is charged with the most serious
oiepses known to civil or military law SUCH as IN
ducing soldiers to desert whose evidence might be
important against hm-a capital crime; selling the
commission Of captain, forging records Of court
martials extorting money from suffers. The court
having assembled, and the witnesses being in at
tendance, an order was UNEXPECTEDLY received, dis
solving the court and directing the officers to pro-
coed to their posts in the field. Simultaneously,
Colonel D'Utassy was dismissed from the service,

The new State question Is al last ended
10 West Virginia, the people having ratified
the amended Constitution, as u passed
Congress, By nearly unatinous vote. The
election took placeon the 2oth inst, and the
City Of Wheeling gave l, SIS for toe amend
nent TO three against il. Returns from
the States show one Of the most over
whelming majOrities ever given for any
Constitution 10 any State 10 this Union.
The patriotic sons Of West Virginia have
most literally swollen the ranks Of the
Union army, and her brave volunteers have
also voted as one man IN favor Of the amen
ded Constitution which provides that West
Virginia shall, in due time, become a Free
State. No votes except those who were
enlisted residents Of the territory included
in the new State were received, aud as fal
as officially heard the vote Of the soldiers
stands 2, 400 for, and 20 against the amend
ed Constitution. The Wheeling Iatelli
gencer supposes the army vote will be abou
5000 for aud 20 or so against the New
State.

Late news from the interior represent
the suffering and destitution of the South
ern people in many localities, rs far exceed
ing any accounts which have hitherto reach
cd us. The people are not only incommo-
dcd BY the lack Of former comforts but fam
lilies are actually pinched with want Of
actual necessities Of life. We learn, on
uudoubted testimony, that few days ago
twenty women in Atlanta, Ca, maddened
with the sight of their starving children at
home, collected in body and broke into
and plundered several groceries Of meal and
-four, in broad daylight. Deaths by star
vation are by no means uncommon in that
region. The whole country has been pick
cd bare of everything edible by the army
and by speculators, who operate in coDnec-
ton with officers Of the army. These pun
ishmen.s seem severe, but are they too Sc
we're for people who allowed themselves to
be precipitated into rebellion against the
best government on earth, by set Of po-
litical blacklegsi We believe that before
long the Southern people will rise en- naasse
against their tyrauts and swing them up TO
tho first tree. Let the Southern negro-oli-
garchy beware Of the White insurection,
which probably is near at hand.-Nashville

ANECDOTF OFARRON nURTR.


Rev. Mr.. Milburn, in his lecture upon
Aaron Burr, relates the following incident Of
his military career:
= sHe married in 'sS the widow ofa Brit
ish officer, ofgreat beauty and high character,
and with her he seems to have lived happi-
Iy for eleven years. This was after he had
gone through his career as q soldier--s car
eer, by the way, in which he showed the
same cool, bloody, daring and unscrupulous
character which had distinguished all his
previous career. There could be no doubt
Of his bravery and courage, nor of his saw
age and willy vengeance. All the soldiers
under his command showed mutinous spir-
IL, and had even threatened bis life.
Burr had the ball cartridges, without their
knowledge, removed from their muskets,
and ordered them to parade at midnight.
Then he passed up and down the lines,
looking with demoniac triumph into each
face, until at last one stalwart fellow raised
bis musker and cried to his comrades to Gre
upon the officers. In moment Burf's
sword swept from its scabbard, and descen-
. ding upon the soldiers wrist cut il nearly
in twain. He then sent the man tothe rear,
and walked back to the rest with the same
scoffing look in his face, as if he had said to
them. Would any other gentleman like
TO try it onf"

ATeIiing Incident.

During the session of the City Democrat
ic Convention in Cincinnati few days
since, the soldiers on their way to Kentucky
for defense not only of that State, but Of
Cincinnati from the rebel invaders, passed
right by Melodeon Hall, where the Conven-
ton was held. How were they .cheered,
encouraged, strengthened, and comforted
by the members Of that Convention? BY
no demonstration whatever. Not cheer
greeted them, not a single token Of appro-
val met their gaze, not flag was waved in
sign Of sympathy for or with them. They
we're premited to pass in silence, and during
the whole session of the Convention, not
one word was uttered to cheer the soldiers
even in their defense Of the members of
that Convention, their families and their
property. One such fact as this speaks
mightier than many words and ought to
drive honest, loyal men from all fellowship
and association with those who thus in fu-
neral silence greet the Defenders Of the
| Country.

The Bucyrus Journgl publishes letter
from Martin McClelland, Company II. slst
Ohio, dated Coriuth, Miss, March 18th.
The writer treats the negro very, simply,
and yet very decidedly. He says:
/ hate niggsrs as | do rattle-snakes FOR
copperheads but l begin to think Old Abs's
Proclamation just the thing. At least we
have it from their own lips. Prisoners
that are brought into our lines say that
they could have fought us from June to
Eternity il We had only let their niggers
alone. / think this is fact, and that moth
ing else could hsve hurt them as the Proc.
lamstion has done. And there Is not a
man that deserts from our army that does
not think 40 lido, but also thinks the negro
dodge is a good excuse for desertiDg.

THE POINT OVER AVE-.


Complaints about taxation, about the
conscription act, about the Proclamation,
and about other things with which the Cop
perheads may debaucb, deceive and confuse
the people, may be met and answered, but
after .nlI, for the present, the fall and
sufficient answer is found in the rebellion
itself. Who induced and caused taxation I
The rebelsl What madea CONSUMPTION act
necessary The rebellion And so from
the beginning TO the end with the whole
brood Of copperhead complaints, the very
things complained of are the fruits Of the
rebellion itself. Put down the rebellion,
and these complaints will either disappear
or be removed, when they are founded 10
Justice. Do men complain of taxesi The
rebellion imposed theml 0fthe losses and
sacrifice of wari Rebels inaugurated war !
OF conscriptionl JEFF. Davis and his hellish
brood caused it.
All this is SO manifest to the thoroughly
loyal man as 10 need no argument, aud il
only needs the thorough rousing Of the dor
mant patriotism Of the people, to make it
manifest even TO those who heed the com
plants Of the disloyal and sympathizing.
Hence, the best way to meet these COM
plants in our view, is to intensity, increase
and enliven the patriotism Of the people.
The short way, the honorable way, the mo-
Bile way, to make an end Of all complaints,
is TO unite iu putting down the rebellion,
which 10 itself has caused all the things
complained Of The cure-all for the fears
Of all honest and loyal citizens, is the over
throw Of jeff Davis and his crew.--San
