Communicated.


ED. JOURNAL am glad to notice a
disposition on the part Of our City Faith
ers to do something toward the improve
ment of the alleys-some five or six of
them, if we are not mistaken, having
recently been ordered to be paved The
expense to each property owner is, in
most instances, but trifing, and the bene-
fit to all very considerable 1t avails but
little, however, to cause the alleys to be
paved, if they are not thereafter kept
clean.
The condition of the alleys between
Main and Locust streets, and running
from Third to Second street, which was
paved few weeks ago, will explain my
meaning. 1t was no sooner finished
than it was made the receptacle of all
kinds of filth-old chicken coops, boxes,
barrels, stoves, empty oyster cans, spoil
ed oysters in cans, some broken open
and the putrid contents running out and
fostering in the sun, and all sorts of offal
were cast into the alley and suffered to
remain
Now, if this is the condition in which
alleys are to be kept, after they are
paved, submit that it would be better
not to have them paved at all. But if
there is any ordinance or law requiring
alleys to be kept free from such filth, it
would be still better to enforce it; and if
there is no such law or ordinance, the
next best thing would be to pass such
ordinance and see that it is enforced.

E Governor johnson of Tennessee
has issued proclamation of some inte-
rest TO the rebel owners of property in
certain portions of Tenneusee. He sets
forth that many persons possessing real
and personal estate in that portion of
Tennessee within the jurisdiction of the
Government of the United States come
within the provisions of sections fifth
and sixth OF an Act of Congress APP
proved July II, 1862, and have failed to
avail themselves of the provisions of the
fifth section within the sixty days, which
expired under the proclamation of the
President on the 23d day of September,
1862, and that many such persons are
now within the so-called Confederate
States, having left their property in
charge Of agents, who collect the rents
and forward the same to the parties, or
retain and invest it for their benefit;
therefore he warns all persons holding,
renting, occupying, or using any such
real or personal estates, or the rents,
issues, and profits thereof, as well as all
agents, not to pay the same over to the
owners or their agents, but to retain the
sTme until some person suitable has been
appointed in behalf Of the United States
TO receive the same, and hold it subject
to the order of the Government.-LOuiS-

ANOTHER SENsATIoN.-We have among
our dispatches this morning a variety of
rumors that prevail at Louisville of
another formidable raid into Kentucky
by the rebels.
That rebel cavalry in small squads do
make excursions for the purpose of for
aging into kentucky for short distance,
is doubtless true; but that any large
force is in Kentucky with view of
marching on to Lexington, Frankfort or
Louisville, seems to US preposterous.
The roads in kentucky at this season
of the year are exceedingly soft and
miry, aud no expedition could move ex-
cept cavalry, and those only in small
bands Even light artillery could not be
taken over any of the dirt roads in the
State.
A gentleman who left Frankfort on
Saturday morning, and who resides near
Midway, informs US that the roads
in Kentucky are at present wholly i'm
practicable for an advance of 10000 men
into the heart of Kentucky; that such an
idea would be utterly preposterous.
However this may be, there are Federal
troops enough in Kentucky to take care
of all the rebels that may enter the Blue
Grass region.

large variety of articles which they have

backs easier than his goods.

SALE We learn-through a prominent
Union man of Owensboro-himself a
large STAKEHOLDER, but gentleman who
loathes kidnapping-that this business
is being carried on extensively and sys-
tematically in that place, by the aid of
negro catehers on the Indiana side of
the river
We are also told that the city officials
who seized the negro on Saturday night
aliege that he was Misunderstanding
killed his master-whose name, we be-
ieve, was Fields-who resided in the
vicinity of Greensboro. This, we have
reason to believe, is a bald subterfuge
4 gentleman informs us that he knows
every one of Fields slaves almost as
well as he knows himself, and he is con-
fdent the negro put ON board the Grey
Eagle on Saturday night was never own
ed by any one in the vicinity of Owens
bOro, But Suppose the negro, as the
officers allege, was an escaped murderer.
Why was he not arrested according to
law, taken before proper tribunal, and
committed to Jail, there to await a re-
QUESTION from the Governor of Ken
lucky on the Governor OF this State for
his delivery to the Kentucky authorities
There was no necessity for such un-
seemly haste, and as we remarked before,
the manifest desire to avoid all the forms
of law in this case argues badly for the
intentions of the officers making the ar
rest.
Have we law against kidnapping
Is there any way to secure its enforce
ment?

FRANKFORT, Feb. 23.-The following
information relative to the re bel invasion
now being made in Kentucky is
from the highest authority. A cavalry
force of from 800 to 1000 entered Rich
mond Saturday afternoon, and crossed
the Kentucky river Sunday afternoon at
Clays Ferry, on the Lexington and
Richmond Turnpike. A portion of this
force is said to have crossed at Boones-
boro, above the Ferry, and entered Win
chester this morning. This force, it is
thought, will push for Paris tonight, to
burn bridges and cut telegraph wires.
Another force of from fifty to sixty en-
tered Nicholsville to-dey A force esti-
mated at 700 had picket fight with the
32d Kentucky, in Pulaski county, Sun
day afternoon, but they were driven off
and took the direction of Mt. Vernon to
join the force at Richmond, which is
commanded by Chenault and Tucker.
Refugees are arriving here hourly, but
no serious alarm is felt for the safety of
this place.

SECOND DISPATCH.

By the steamer Planet we have Mem
phis dates of the afternoon ofthe Goth.
There is another movement going on
from Memphis, by which Logan and
Quimbry's divisions change location
on Monday last
The latest Vicksburg dates say the
work on Lake Providence was progress
ing. In Bayou Macon "a large amount
of trees and rotten logs accumulated. If
the water is admitted into the lake from
the river, and allowed to flow into the
lake before the bayou is cleared, serious
difficulty will ensue before the scheme
can be carried out
The steamer Sunshine had been up
and cleared portion of Yazoo Pass to
Moon Lake, and beyond she found a
small steamer at the entrance of the
pass. where it joins Lake Coldwater and
had reason to believe that rebel gun
boat was in the vicinity and force on
land.
When the dispatch boat B. passed Cy-
press Bend on Wednesday no rebels
were in sight On the contrary their
battery had again flown. A regiment or
more of Union troops in the vicinity were
anxious to fn0 that battery. The B ex-
perienced no difficulties in making the
passage.
On Thursday. when the steamer Ruth
was at the head of Island No Is, she
met wreck of small steamer floating
down the river. Only the smoke stacks
and part Of the upper works were visible.
The mate of the Ruth went in a yawl to
see what it might be, but no name or
other indication was found by which to
judge what she was.
It is supposed some boat has been
wrecked in storm.
Lieut.. Col. j. H. Gould, com handing
the 10th Indiana regiment, passed up to
Cincinnati to-day to receive medical and
surgical treatment He reports all the
Indiana troops with which he is &C.
quainted in a perfect state of discipline
and subordination-not the least sign of
detection except with the milk and
water loyal men of the North, who stand
by and allow treason to be plotted in
their very faces. He says Vallandigham
and mis- abettors, although the regiment
is strongly Democratic, would not dare
show their faces within gunshot of the
members of the 10th. 1t is the same
with nearly all the Illinois regiments.
