the prosecution of the wicked war, now raging
between the North and South, was clearly
shown up.e There can be no doubt, in the
mind of any sane man, that it is the intention
of the Abolition party to continue this bloody
war TIL the slaves. Of the South are set free !
This, he continued, is clearly announced in
speeches Of Brought is fully averred in all
their leading papers ! The contest between
the Democracy and the Abolition party, is
one, ofwhetherthis war, if prosecuted further,
shall be conducted with reference to the res

our old Union shall be oyerfhro,on- the Con-
s~titution trampled under foot-the negro rsce

military despotism to take the place of the Re-
public. Judge ye which you will have. Ad-

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

A brilliant English statesman, and one who
has been commonly supposed to be gifted
with no ordinary sagacity. has thus sketched
the future which lies before us, as the inevl-
table consequence of our present struggles,
should they end, as he augurs, in dlsunion.
We quote from some remarks made by Mr..
DIsraeh at the recent opening of parliament I:
=" cannot conceal from myself the conviction
that those in this House who may be young
enough to live to witness the conclusion and
ultimate consequences Of this civil war, will
find that the America they can recognize when
the waters have subsidized, will be different
America from that which was known to our
fathers, and even to this generation, Of which
they have had so much experience. IL will
be, believe, an America of armies, an Amer
lea Of diplomacy an Asqiea of rival States
and manmuvering Cabthets, an America Of fre-
quent turbulence and probably Of frequent
war"
Poor PILLow.-The rebel Gen. Gideon
j. Pillow has suffered considerable loss Of
property during the progress of the present
rebellion. In speech whicn he recently de-
livered in Madison county, Ala, he stated
that the Union forces had stripped him Of all
his negroes, burned his four cotton gin houses,
which he valued at ten thousand dollars each,
taken one hundred thousand pounds of bacon,
run off five hundred head Of fine cattle. and
two thousand hogs, destroyed his houses in
Arkansas, and laid waste his plantations
All this was done while Gideon was in the
army, fighting for his rights. He dug his
ditch ON the wrong side this time, sure.
NEW HAMPsHIRE.-The first Congression-
al district in New Hampshire, which has been
persistently claimed by the Democrats, ia still,

WAR IN KENTUCKY

There was considerable skirmishing yester-
day and the day before between our cavalry
and the rebel advance south Of the Kentucky
river. The rebel advance force is variously
estimated at from $500 to 10000. Our
troops are concentrating rapidly. Confidence
is felt in our military commanders, and the
means they have at hand to repel the rebel
invasion.
Skirmishes are reported near Camp Dick
Robinson, which has resulted thus far favora-
bly, to our soldiers. The forces are about
equal, our forces, under Gen. Curtis, having
the advantage of position. A general en-
gagement is expected soon.
The rebel force in Kentucky is believed to
he about 5000 men, under Gen. Pegram. 1t
is reported that Woodford's cavalry captured
two hundred rebels yesterday. Clarke's
guerrillas still hover around Mount Sterling.
over two hundred of his men have been cap
tured since Sunday last.
No apprehensions are felt for the safety OF
Lexington.
The federal wagon trains, stores and camp
equipage from Danville and Richmond have
reached Lexington in safety. Among the
prisoners captured are two Majors and a pay
master with Sl500 in confederate money.
A special dispatch to the Journal says 80
men OF the 9th Kentucky cavalry surprised
the rebel pickets in the vicinity of Danville
last evening. The latter retreated in great
disorder, The rebel force in Danville was
$500, including the LIST Georgia regiment
The Cincinnati correspondent Of the Tri-
bune, under date OF the Gath, says ten thou
sand rebels made their appearance, day before
yesterday, at Somerset, and have been slowly
advancing Northward till to-day at 5 o'clock.
The telegraph operator at Danyille, Boyle
County, closed his office, saying the rebels
were within short distance of that town.
The Kentucky river is so swollen that it viii
hardly be possable for them to cross it, for a
week, before which time there will be troops
enough there to successfully resist the at
tempt. There is no excitement here whatever.
Nearly every boat at the landing has been
pressed into the government service, aud
others are being seized as fast as they arrive.
The Journal has information from credit
able source that two divisions Of rebel infan-
try crossed the Cumberland yesterday at
Stage Ferry, near Wallsburg, Pulaski county.
Frankfort and Lexington are under martial
law. All is quiet in their vicinity There is
no news from Danville to-day.
CINCINNATI March 30.
Parson Pfownlow has arrived from Tenne-
see, and reports that the rebels are concen-
trating all their infantry formerly in Eas, Ten
nessee, al Tallahoma, while their cavalry has
made diversion in East Kentucky, hoping to
draw a force from Gen. Rosecrans, aud that
reinforcements are arriving daily at Tallahoma
from Virginia
Gen. Gilmore re-crossed the Kentucky
river Yesterday in force and is driving the
rebels in the direction Of Crab Orchard.

THE WAY THEY GET "GOBBLED UP"
Scarcely week goes by now -a-days, with
out some Of our Vermont Cavalry are " COB
bled up to use an army phrase. and how is
it done Very simple sit down, and I'll
tell you. You see this war is really only a
plays true, once in while some one " gets
hurt" but that is of course among the infan-
try the mounted men know better.
A detachment of fifty goes out to do "out-
post duty" They get to a mill there is
plenty Of grain, they unsaddie and unbridie
their horses, and leave too men ou; as wi
dettes," and begin to enjoy themselves. -
Down comes handful Of rebels, and they are
" gobbied," A few fgh, bravely with their
BRIDES, one uses his revolver, and the thing
"hath an end ~
Again a Major starts out to see what
harm has been done to a secesh fellows prop

got up by seoeshical chap, while the met all
do what they chose, save few who impatient
" await their turn to loaf These anxious
pictets see some horsemen coming. They
think it is certainly " the relief" and so care
lessly allow it to approach. 1t proves to be
"Mosby boys" and they are gobbled -
On comes "Mosby," and pounces on the
" gay and festive" Major, and he and his par
ty are "gobbled !"
" Sergeant" says the Major proved very
troublesome prisoner and came near be-
ing shot after be was captured" This may
show grit" but the true soldier proves
+" troublesome before he is captured.
A decent regard to the Army Regula-
iions" would prevent all these surprises
