HENRY CLAY.-A letter has just been
made public tor the first time, written by
HENRY CLAY in 1885, to Col VIM HENRY
RUSSELL, OF Missouri, in which he says ::
When Missouri was admitted into the
Union, said to her Delegate, Mr.. SCOTT,
Go home, enter the convention Of your
State, and exert yourself to establish a
system Of gradual emancipation similar
to that aohich Dr.. Franklin prevailed on
Pennsylvania to adopt in 1899. :" Mr..
CLAY, through the letter, advocates the
policy OF emancipation. 1t is now dem
onstrated that this great and patriotic
statesman, alike in his earliest manhood,
in his ambitious and hopeful prime, and
in his sage and calm old age, recog-
niZed slavery as master evil, and wished
its overthrow. In '9S, he was q years of
age in 1920, he was A in 1885, he was
SO; in 1S49, he was 70; and at each of
these periods he is on record as, either
publicly or privately, urging his fellow
citizens of Kentucky and Missouri to in
itiate emancipation.

few days since, after they had crossed the

A special dispatch to the Chicago Trio

A special dispatch TO the Onlcdgo ITO
une, from Wild Cat, Kentucky, says:
Major Hamilton, of the 9Th Ohio casal-
ry, after a thorough investigation OF the
Big Greek and Red River, in Clay county,
pronounces the reported raid of 1000
rebel cavalry mere fabrication. The
rebel force rumored north of the river is
a myth. Another reliable gentlemen d.
rect from Powell Valley, confirms the
previous account of the destitution among
the soldiers and the people, and denies the
presence OF any considerable body OF
rebel troops liz East Tennessee, and says
they fear an advance of our troops into
Tennessee more than they intend one into
Kentucky. No doubt their numbers and
intents have been exaggerated purposely.
AS usual they make great display of
pickets, noise, &C., to mislead.
- The official count of the prisoners
captured at Grand Gulf and Port Gibson,
and at Linden, Tenn, all of whom arrived
at Alton on Sunday last, gives TAO, in
Guiding "a commissioned officers. repre-.
senting "a regiments.
= Ii is stated officially, that up to this
time, over $1O0,0OO,000 have been sub.
scribed to the fve-twenty loan. Should
subscriptions continue andiminished till
the period for letting the loan at par ex-
pires by statute limitation, there will be
no need for other resorts for revenues.
The Government has caused to be
made out list of rebel sympathizers in
the District of Columbia to the number
of $50. Upon the first overt act they will
be sent beyond our lines.
Rebel papers say that spectators in
the South beset all Yankee prisoners,
offering them Confederate money for green
backs, two for one.
"A dispatch to the Knoxville Register
of the 18th, from Cumberland Gap, says
that Union force of ten regiments was
advancing on that point, by way of Big
Greek, Ga.
- All claitns against the Government
are to be paid the moment they reach the
Treasury Department. There are now no
legal claims against the government, Only
certified to by the Treasury Department
that have not been paid.

THE Dry ToRTUGAs.-There was a re-
port last week that VALLANDIGHAM had
been sentenced to the Dry Tortugas. This
is large fertilization now in construction
by the Government on Tortugas Islands,
off the coast of Florida, near Key West,
and all persons thus sentenced are forced
to labor on the works, without any dis
elimination as to former rank or station
A number of soldiers are now there under
sentence of one and two years, tor various
acts of INSTRUMENTATION.
The Ohio traitor would be better en-
ployed there than in making stump
but we apprehend there is no truth in the
report concerning his sentence.

CoNFRDERACY."--Oo GRIERsoN. who
has recently made the most successful and
daring raid of the war, riding through
eight hundred miles OF rebel territory.

observations, in speech in New Orleans ::
In passing through the Confederacy

correct opinion OF lis strength. That
strength has been over estimated. They
have neither the armies nor the resources
we have given them credit for, and we
have been greatly deceived in regard to
the means and power of the rebels. Pass

age was not very difficult oae,) | found
thousands OF good Union men, who are
ready and anxious TO return to their ale

warned the faithful against lying 1eaguers,
who said Fernando wouldn't be here. "He

bring Fernando and came home empty. Mu.

silent. The cannon WAS ditto; money all
sunk-seventy-fve dollars for music and ons
hundred and twenty-five dollars tor po oxder.
Last night pischieyous boys, Cops or
