CAVALIERS D'INDUsTRIE.-The burg
lars and house-breakers seem to have
things pretty much their own way IN this
city, and their nightly depredations have
become so much matter of course, as
scarcely to excite remark. Not less
than one dozen houses have been enter
ed during the last two weeks, and thus
far the villains have escaped detection.
On Tuesday night one of these night
providers made an unsuccessful effort

The operations of these burglars show
that they are not all strangers in the
city, as they are evidently well posted
in regard to the residences in the city.
and the movements and habits of the
men whom they attempt to rob.
I They are exceedingly bold in their
movem ents, sometimes. A gentleman
caught three of them in his house the
other night. and instead of fleeing, they
surrounded him, and made him take an
oath not to reveal their names, which
were all known; to him.
We do not know what measures have
been taken by the city authorities to
ferret out those miscreants. Effective
measures Shonld be taken at once. In
the meantime let the people rely more
on bolts and bars, than on locks and
dead latches. s-

The church was beautifully prepared

interest in every department of the
school during the year Four of the
most efficient members have died
Judge Embree, superintendent, and three
teachers.
Judge E. was devoted Christian and
Jealous worker in the Sunday School,
and had won the affection of the entire
school. While the report referring to
his death was read, all eyes were moist
ened with tears. The three young men
died in the service of their country, on
the battle field.
After the report was read Rev. B. F.
Rawlins was introduced and addressed
the teachers, showing the great impor-
lance of their work, and the glorious re-
suits if faithfully performed.
Revs. W. c. Smith, L. NJ Walters and
R n Parrot delivered short addresses
appropriate to the occasion.
The children's performance came off
at night, which, to say the least of, was

Morgans good luck seems to have de-
parted SO soon as he entered into matri-

near Horseshoe Bottom, about II
miles from Monticello, Wayne county
The Louisville Journal says of the fight:
The rebel loss in killed has been def
nitely ascertained to be one hundred and
ffty-seven, while the wounded are vari-
ously estimated at from three hundred
and fifty to five hundred 1t is certain
that nearly every house in the neighbor
ing valley contains disabled rebels. Our
correspondent "Fidle' gives an excel
lent account of the fight, but his infor
nation, is in some respects incorrect.
The force of four hundred and fifty
men had been sent out by Col. Jacob to
reinforce party OF one hundred men
who had gone on an expedition to break
up a desperate band of guerrillas
They were completely successful III
their object, but fell in with the advance
1 guard of Morgan main army, when they
retired in excellent order fighting des-
perately. Capts W. Wiltsie, Of the
! Twentieth Michigan Infantry, Wilson, of
the Twelfth Kentucky Cavalry, led their
men with great gallantry. The fight was
in sthe open field of Coffee's, just out
side of the narrows of Horse Shoe Bot
tom, and was desperately couteuded for
against MorgaL's whole force for fifty
FIVE minutes, after the gallant boys had
| previously almost destroyed Chenault S
and Clukes force, and forced them to
a point of surrender, which would have
been accomplished had it not been for

in to Col. Jacob by Morgan, which hav.
ing been promptly refused, he carried
> his whole force to the north side of tha
river to rejoin his main command, and
Morgan did not feel the least disposition
to follow, but, tits understood, returned
to Monticello. No men could have be-
haved better than the Twelfth Kentucky
Cavalry and the Twentieth Michigan In
fantry. This spirited affair unquestiona-
bly, prevented Morgan from effecting a
contemplated raid into our State, for
prisoners state that he acknowledged
that the desperate resistance at the Mar
rows had completely frustrated all his
plans.

IInnE Inside the Shell.

The correspondent of the New York
World, who recently, as prisoner,
made the tour of the Southern Confed-
eracy, concludes his account OF his ex-
perience in these words:
On the whole, our faith in the unity of
the Republic is strengthened by this ex-
perience. We must regard the Confed-
eracy as a wonderful bubble of bubbles
built, vet one which has many bright
hues on the surface. 1t does not seem
to be founded upon any great national,
popular craving, but rather the inven-
ton of few shrewd men. 1t possesses
all the elements which they say divided
the old Union, and some peculiar to
itself, without so firm bond.
The talk of determination, black flags,
and so forth, is passionate nonsense.
We have looked into their talk about
"alien enemies" but the argument
proves too much. Desperation may
nerve men to great deeds of heroism
and valor it cannot multiply the hands
nor permanently increase the strength
of the arm. We consider that, with mil
itary reverses, the people who have
voices would elect for the old flag, slip
ulating of course for such terms to thel
life, privileges, and interests as the!
could.
| We emerge from the seat of the rebel
lion baptized with new loyalty--as doe
every Union prisoner, we believe. Th
flag seems fairer, the very rocks an
hills dearer, and the sweet souls NOR
charm comparable with unity. Our mo
to is again inscribed: The Union Est

therefore prohibited in this department.
