Tic organization Of 4 new Court in the

acte.izcd by putting to the test Of loyalty

coursc should be pursued in all our

when some Of tic Maryland and Kentucky

and yet none Of them, or any one else,

there IS difference the present year Of IS, ON.
This decrease Is owing to the extraordinary
fact, that there has been only n very trivial
demand for the packed product, compared
with former years. From the present high
prices Of cattle and the absence OF any de-
mand, either home OF foreign, there Is very
little prospect Of there being any spring
packing.

THE REBELS INVADING KENTUCKY.
MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, March I9.-The
rumors heretofore given of the proposed rebel
invasion of Kentucky are not groundless. |
learn from a southern man who left Chatta-
nooga on Sunday, that the rebel troops known
to left Virginia did not reinforce Gen.
Bragg, but concentrated at Knoxville, Tenn.
Yesterday body of four hundred rebels
crossed the Cumberland at Bowens, Ky, and
it was reported that a large force was follow
ing. 1t is suspected that the invasion has al
ready begun.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March 20.-The Nash
vile train yesterday was thrown off the track
by guerrillas by distractions four miles above
Rcnland station, and not at WOODBURY., as
previously stated The locomotive, tender,
and two express cars were smashed. The
guerrillas fired into the rear car, containing
women and children. They called themselves
Morgan's men. The passengers returned the
fire, killing one and wounding three guerril-
las. One passenger was slightly wounded.
The guerillas commenced paroling at the
head of the train, and took away officers side
arms, ritled their carpet sacks. sc. Adams
express safe was robbed of its contents, but
part was subsequently recovered. The mail
on the train was seized, but was recovered
The conductor ran back mile to the stock
AIDE. Soldiers came up at double quick, re-
captured the train and drove off the guerillas,
wounding several and taking four prisoners
Gen. BrannOn and Lieut.. Mckee, who were
in the rear car, were neither captured or pa
rolled, but are safe at Nashville.

MASON AND HAMLIN's CABINET ORGAN.
The recent improvements introduced by
Messrs. Mason and Hamiin into their har-
moniums have increased wonderfully the pop
ularity of instruments of this class. Admir-
ers of true organ music, of sustained harmon
les, are no longer confined to the asthmatic or
Weak-lunged melodeon, or the noisy, ear-tear-
ing reed-organ. An instrument is now OBJ
tainable, which is more under the control of
the performer, is capable of producing the
softest tones, and yet possesses many ii les
the power of any melodeon As the Mason
and Hamlin instruments having these new
improvements, 1--WE may specify as particular
ly valuable the automatic SWELL are, sui gen.
eriS, like those of no other maker, and since
there are other harmoniums without these ex-
cellencies, Messrs. Mason and Hamlin have
adopted and copyrighted the name Of "Cabi-
net Organ" as their special trade mark.
As we have said, the great advantages pos
sessed by these cabinet organs make them
very desirable for the drawingroom, and
they are rapidly becoming necessity for the
family. The low price at which they are af-
forded brings them within the means of al
most every.household, and, as lovers of mu-
sic, we welcome the popularity they have al
ready obtained.-M Y. Musical RevleW.

Col. Whitaker said he was creditablv in
