Recently the Legislature Of the state

indicate an apprehension among the Tex

deed, that State is virtually cut of al

in all probability the severance will be

same TO grief.

The National IateLhgeneer undertook to
lay down the law Of the case" on the
military seizure of Yallandigham. When
legal points are stated, they make dis
tinct propositions Tor criticism outside
the merits Of the case The chief point
was that Congress having provided for
the punishment Of Yallandigham's Of
Tense by the civil tribunals, the military
authority could not take cognizance of it,
We alluded to the tact that the rebels
are guilty Of treason, and that Congress
has provided for The punishment Of trea-
son by the courts; and we inquired
whether IL the point OF law was sound,
il would not also take ell the captured
rebels out of the hands Of the army, and
cause them 20 be delivered up for indict-
ment and trial by jury in their own sew

that Mcdonald County is the extreme

that G. b, Walker is probably the most

the abolition of all the slave laws of the

his head the bitter denunciatiOns of Thu

pike, and Gen. Crittenden on the main Muir.

Our left ond center met with strong resist
ance, such as the nature of the country per.
mitted-the rolling or billy routes, ekirted by
cedar thickots and farms, interspersed by sm ali
streams, with rocky bluff banks, forming serI.
ous obstacles. Gen. McCook drove Gen. Har-
dee's corpo one milo and half from NoIIns.
vile, and occupied the place. Gen. Critten-
den reached within a mile and half of La.
vergne. Gen. Thomas reached Wilson pike,
meeting with no serious opposition. --5 -.s
On the 9th Gen. McCook drove Gen. liar.
dee from Nolinsville, and pushed reconnoit.
ering division ak miles toward Shelbyyille
where he found that Gen. Hardee had retreated
toward Murffeesboro. &
Gen, Crittenden, fought and drove the enemy
before him, occupying the line Of Stewart'f
creek and capturing some prisoners, with slight
loss. Sen. Thomas occupied the vicinity oil
NolinsVllle, when lhe was partially surprised

Sherman's division had repulsed the enemy

While reconnoiteriDg the ground occupied By
this division, which had no artillery, saw q
heavy force coming from the woods and advanc-

drove our little division before them after q
sharp co,test, in which we lost seventy or
eighty killed, and three hundred and seventy
five wounded. They were finally repulsed by
General Negley's division and the remaining
troops of the left wing Of Gen. Morton's pioneer
brigade, and fed far over the field aid beyond
their entertainments, their officers raliying
them with great difficulty. They lost heavily
