rHB WAR NEWS.

The telegraphic dispatches we copy else
where embody the substance of the news Of
I tbe past week. except of minor operations
some of,whieh we note below. The fight
atMt. Sterling on last Sunday resulted in
tie surrender ot zoo Federals to the Rebel
force under Col. Cluke, who is said to have
destroyed ALT wagons and government
property he could not carry off. The hous-
: s burned were those from whence the Fed
erals fred on the Rebels. Cluke paroled
the privates and retired toward Owings-
vile, appreh ending Federal reinforcements
from Winchester. carrying with him or
sending off elsewhere, the Federal officers
captured. It is-since rumored that the
Federal reinforcements pursued Cluke and
that skirmish took place on the road to
owingsvilie, but still later accounts report
that some $500 rebel cavalry had arrived
and repossessed Mt. Sterling, having a very
heavy force in the rear coming in to their
support. We hear, also, that many citizens
of Mt. Sterling and neighborhood, left
home and went to Paris and other points
that it was apprehended Paris would be at
tackled by an overpowering force and the
Federal troops there retired TO Lexington
and the town put under martial law. We
suspect there is much exaggeration in all
these reports. In the fight at Mt. Sterling
two young men of Mason county were I'M
fortunate, Simon Curtis killed, and William
Weldon received flesh wound in his leg.
A rumor reached here yesterday that a
rebel force had captured the town Of Dan
vile, but we learned no particulars.
:. Gen. Sumner on his way to supersede
Curtis in command of the Department of
the West, sickened and died in New York
state. Burnside has been assigned to com
'mard in this Department, in place Of
Wright, and has reached Cincinnati.
: tits asserted in some papers, but we
think with little probability, that Lees ar
my are retiring from the Raprshannock
towards Richmond.
Reports have been rife of field operations
between Rosecrans' forces ard the rebels.
Cbut they lack confirmation in which the
former was forced to retire towards Ken
lucky. exposing Nashville to capture by
the latter. We suspect this, as well as the
aggeration. But we give the current news
for what it may be worth, referring for
other matters not noticed here to the dis
patches we print in other columns.

took position to await an attack, meantime
sending back for reinforcements. The fight
was comm enced by the rebels. who were re-

men fed in confusion, losing fifty killed and
one hundred and fifty wounded, and one

rhreatened Rupture Of the union

Threatened Rupture OF the Union
Party in Kentucky.
The Louisville Democrat, an able organ of
the Union party in Kentucky, is dissatisfied
with the action ofthe-late State Conyention
in Louisville. 1t dryly and tartly says:
"Our readers have the proceedings of the
Convention before them, and can form their
own judgment. We have not room for ours
this morning, except to say that we are OF
opinion, from all the indications, that this
Union train 10 on the wrong track, and is not
running toward the desired end The pres
emit is a good station to ge. off at before a
break down. s-s's eact 75a4
The editor of the Democrat Col. Harvey
is member of the Kentucky Legislature,
representing the Couuty.of eferson, and was
talked OF as candidate for Governor. 1t
is very plain inference from his paragraph
above, that he will not support the ticket
nominated by his party; in other words, that
irreconciable differences b ave split his party
and be will be the leader of one of its divi-
sions.. We have learned through another
channel that he has declared at least that he
viii not support Bell for Governor. The In
dications of a spirited controversy between
the Democrat and Journal, are very palpable.
In the canvass for Governor in 1853, run
ping as the Union candidate against Ma
Coffin, Democrat, Bell, though he had been
previously recognized as a gradual emanci-
patiouist, became professedly strong
pro-slayery man, and the greatest feature of
his stump-speeches was his advocacy Of a
Congressional slave code. To this, Harvey,
then Douglas Democrat, was intensely OPP
posed. Now, it seems.-tenpora nautantttr,
ct nos mutamur IN iHis-the times are
changed, and we are changed with them
Bell seems to have returned to his first love,
and is cow in the ranks of those who,
though they may disclaim approval of the
Abolition policy of Lincoln's administration,
nevertheless uphold and support him in
carrying it out, by voting him men, money,
arms and other means; while Harvey seems
to have become pro-slavery advocate and
strongly opposes Lincoln's policy. Both,
however, favor the prosecution OF the war
for the suppression Of the rebellion; and
therefore any professed disapproval by
either, of Lincoln's abolition policy,is logic
ally inconsistent; for they know well it is
only by war that Lincoln hopes to carry out
his abolition policy. Well, we shall soon
see what will come of this threatened split
in the party. The discussions, wo foresee
will be lively, piquant, interesting and edi-
Tying. We shall perhaps deem it proper to
keep our readers informed of the progress of
the feud; but as it is none Of our funeral, we
do not expect to be one of the weeping
mourners Of the procession.

Highly Interesting Letter from Fer
~ nando Wood, of New York.

Highly Interesting Letter from Fer
~ nando Wood, of New York.
From the New York Correspondence of the Phil
s-- adelphia Enquirer.
rs Ex-Mayor, now Congressman Wood,
is out with another peace manifesto:
At meeting held at Stamford Connect
cut on Tuesday evening last, l said that
propositions for an armistice or peace had
been submitted to the President on the 18th
of December last, which, had they been ac-
'cepted, would have terminated this war by
the first of April, upon a basis satisfactory
to the people North and South. In refer
ring to this staten eDt, you ask:
Who made these propositions for an ar
mistice or peace, the adoption OF which
Mr.. Wood pretends to believe would have
settled the matter by All-fools' day?-
Were they made by Davis and his fellow
rebels? IF so, how does Mr.. Wood know
any thing about them? Has he been in Sc
-cret correspondence with the enemy? Or
were they made By some of the anti:war
men here? If so, who authorized them?
And what are the terms of the propositions
from which Mr.. Wood hopes so much? If
they are honorable to the nation-if they
are such as patriotic Americans ought to
favor-why not make them public at once?
To which 1 say. in reply, that the state
.nnent referred to was made by me deliber-
ately, with full and personal knowledge
ofthe facts, and that am constrained from
the publicity of them only by the request oil
one of the principal officers of the Govern
ment. When this Introduction shall be
withdrawn, 1 will cheerfully crafty your
curiosity.
= Very respectfully. &c.
- FERNANDO WOOD.
March IL, 1863
We hope Mr.. Wood viii publish the pro-
sposition. as well as the name of the princi-
pal officer of the Government.
