yet remains great deal to be accomplished,
though 1 regret to say that soms of our chap

"hssdqusrter men, because they are seldom
seen any where elso but st the coloneps quar-

responsible duties, they frequently while away
the hours by taking game Of chess with the
officers.

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN KENTUCKY.

the peril.

On Monday, the 2S.h uls, Col Bsnnesie, Of
the 10Th kentucky cavalry, % brigade Of Gen.

soldiers and Yankee esptsin, Gillian, were
taken prisoners, q large mali captured, and the

from the passengers and the baggage car spared.
Col. Bsnaeste then overlook she Bardstown

CHEERIlG SiGEs AT THE NoRTH.-There
arc, says tho Charleston Mercury, two most sig
nifcant facts, thowirg the true state Of things
at tho North. The Government orders draft
Of bali million Of men. This shows chat
troops ere wanted in their army TO carry On the
var. And it posipones The draft at the very
period Of active campaigning. This shows thst
they cannot get the troops. Now, add 70 these
fsets the further fact, that we are st the end Of
March, and no advance has been msde by our
foes, and il is impossible TO resist She conclusion
Scat they are lees prepared than they ever were
to copqeot The Soa.h.
If we lock sill further into the condition o.
things at ihe North. We observe two further
laeis-tbo press IS speaking cut more boldly
sgsirst tie Yankee Government, and The press
is being raobbed. The former shows the conf
dOreo Of the oppciition; tbe latter, lhe weak
nsas Of tae Government. Both augur ininT'
cOuloniicn, disoIgs1izatiou and enbSnsssmen
an-Eg cur fees.
o. Cur side everything is bright and cheer
/ ing. Oar troops in every fight have evinesd al
iheir wonted energy and iniTepidity. Civ
them but fair feld and decent gensTslship
and they must be victorious. II they are con
quered, they will be conquered by our owl
folly, not by Ysukse strength or YalOr. II th
generals now in command Of cur srmiss wer
left to their own wisdom and courage, and earn
esily supported in carrying On the esmpaig
