MURFREEsBoRo. Aprll ou
Yesterday a small force of rebel cavalry
anueared on the Manchester pike. Our
yidettes gave the alarm Saying the enemy
was advancing in force. Gen. Negley
with commeudable promptnesS, moved out
q short distance, tut the alarm proved
false. Gen. Negley met several citizens,
residents near the outDosts, moving in
It is thought generally that the rebel de-
monstration yesterday was made for the
purpose of fore ng RosecGans to concent-
rate his lines thus leaving Van Dorm and
Wheeler, at Liberty, to act on his fianks,
with their cavalry, and also to enable them,
with force north of Duck river, to defeat
any attempts made similar to the one on
McMinnvillc.
At present all efforts of the rebel cavalry
on our alnks are futile.

brought 10 news that our pickles had been

of Negley's division, was hurried out to
the front on dCullecquick time, but found
no enemy. | deem it certain, however,
that the enemy's whole line las been adj

side of Duck river; Price has come by the

WASHINGTON, April 90.
Letters fran Estern Tennessee say that
their are but few rebel troops there, who
could be easily driven out by 5000 troops
from our own side. They still tyrannically
oppress the great mass of the people, who
remain loyal.
MCRrREEsBoRo. Tenn, April 90.
A fictitious excitement was produced
tonight by reports that she enemy intended
to attack ROseCrans Immediately.
The fact derived from the best official
sources are, that our scouts report The ad-
vance of the enemy to Bea h Grove and
Wartraee, nine hOnrs' march from this
point.
1t is probable that the enemy advanced
in force, without artillery, to cuunteract a
supposed general advance OF this army
ut the same time they maintained re-
eonnOissance in force.
They have been reinforced somewhat
but no military man here dare hOpe for
such GOOD fortune as an attack upon the
army of the Cumberland at Murfr1esboro
No patriot could desire better thing fol

From Mexico,

OHh franclsc0, April 50.
The German Democrat, of this city, pub
fishes letter, dated go miles southeast of
Acapulco. Mexico, April l8th," giving one
days later news from Puebla. The letter
says:
IAN express has just arrived from the

The Reign orTyranpy.

Gen. Hascsll, commander Of the militia
ry district of Indiana, has issued an order
virtually suppressing free speech in that
STATE.
The order declares that all newspapers
or public speakers that counsel or eucOur-
age resistance to "any law If Congress,
passed as a war measure, or shat endeavor
to bring the var policy Of the government
into disreputc," will be considered as
having violated General Burrsidc's Geo
eral Order No. SO, and treated according
ly.
Thus, in The | yal State of Indiana, has
been erected despotism that would put
to blush the most complete tyrauny on tie
other side Of the Atlantic.
10 Indiana, hereafter, there must be an
end to free speech and free press, if Gen.
llascell's order be enforced. The people
Of that patriotic and devoted State can no
longer claim to live under free and con-
stitutiOnal gov rnment. Their liberties,
their property aud their lives, are at the
disposal Of shoulder strapped satraps, who
appear to be commissioned to wipe out
the last trace Of civil government.
If Gen. Hascall succeeds in establishing
a military despotism in Indiana, how long
will it be before Illinois will also he
brought under the rule of some irresponsi-
BILE military officer?
These are indeed alarming times. ard
ii the people submit to it, we may bit
ndieu to free government and constitution
al rights.

Oh, Shame

During the Hager investigation, which
is Yet in progress in this city, the Chicago
papers in commenting on the testimony
against the reverend offender, have taken
occasion 10 throw out damaging insinua.
tions against the principal witness against
the accused, Mrs. Sara E. White. AID one
of the papers not content with uttering
dark insinations and inuendoes Published
a coarse and hOmeIy engraving, passing it
off as an exact likeness Of the fair witness.
Now, in this community, where Mrs.
White is known, these slurs aud InsiDua-
tons will do no harm, but abroad, where
the facts are not known, they are ca!culat-
ed to deeply injure an innocent and worthy
lady. Notwithstanding the animadver
sons Of the Chicago papers, there is not
person who is acquainted with Mrs. White
and familiar with her reputation, that can
be made believe she is anything else than
pure-minded, virtuOus woman. Her
kindness, devotion and fidelity to her late
husband who was an invalid for several
months previous to his decease, won the
regard and admiration of all who witnessed
it. She never left him during his illness,
and administered to his wants and necessi-
ties with the attention, faithfuiness and af-
fection peculiar to her sex. When we think
o. these things-and of the injured FEEL
ings of the innocent-we cannot but ex-
claim oh, shame to the men would wrong
