Thursday, Aug. ~, 1868.
The plot begins TO thicken. We are be-
ginning to realize that we are in Dixie -Four
hundred rebel cavalry came within ten miles
OF us this morning, and gobbled up n few Ten
nessee soldiers who had probably struggled off
to see their families. They turned off toward
the gap, and will probably fall into the hands
of our cavalry, who are scouting the roads in
all directions. We are resting, and as soon
as subsistence and other matters are righted
will be ready for move in any direction.
Reports continue to come in, confirming the
previous accounts OF rebel desperation and
decentralization. Deserters are arriving con-
stantly, and affirm that Polk and Buck
ner's armies will be dissolved by deserters,
when the tugitives become once assured
of safety. Scouts from Cumberland gap say
several regime hts are there with artillery, and
there are rumors Of reinfOrcements. Gen.
Burnsdes policy regarding correspondents is
extremely stringent and but little news of in
terest or Importance can be forwarded at
present Nothing but simple relations of past
facts will be allowed, and neither praise nor
censure Of persons or measures is permitted
The troops are in excellent heart well in
hand, and ready for anything. Nothing of
interest beyond the march has occurred. Our
rest will probably be short.

SLAVERY PASSING AWAY IN Missouri AND
KENTUCKY. The St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald
contains the following :-''Capt. Wo0k, sher-
III OF Platte county, was in the city few days
since, and from him we learned something of
the negro stampede now gong on in the lower
counties During the last two months the
darkies have been leaving Platte county at
the rate of about thirty or forty per day. BY
the census of 1860 Platte county had a slave
population of three thousand three hundred
and thirteen, and our informant thinks that
there are but two or three hundred left now.
From all portions of North Missouri we have
like information. The slaves are leaving nv
day and by night Very few owners pretend
to stay the exodus. Many pack up their buds
and walk boldly oil in broad day, while others
quietly retire in the night. Should the flight
continue at the present rate, by the time 1866
| rolls round the slaves of the state will hardly
be worth counting"
| Upon this the Nashville Union remarks =
''The same thing is going on in a much less
degree, in Kentucky. The slaves as a mass
are determined TO be free; they have caught
the spirit of freedom, and they will not re-
main in bondage. Nothing but the establish
ment OF strong military police, q standtnq
army tor the Shareholders, will suffice, hence
forward, to check the absconding Of negroes.
The fugitive slave law is dead, and will no
longer return bondman. Let Tennesseeans
| recognize these facts and adapt themselves to
the Imperative demands of the times Our
peace and prosperity depend upon the speedy
removal OF slavery from our midst"
