REBELS AT owESsBoRo = We learn
from reliable source that four hundred
rebels were in Greensboro yesterday
evening There is no longer any doubt
shA. rebel forces in large numbers oceu-
by the whole of Southwestern Kentucky,
and that, while their chief object is
plumber and robbery, there are many
reasons to believe that they will make
an attempt at a raid into this State, and
it becomes our authorities to make prep
arations to repel and punish the attempt.
We believe that it would be good policy
and entirely practicable for Indiana to
raise volunteer force Of 10000 or
5000 men at once and drive the entire
rebel crew from the soil of Kentucky.
It could be easily accomplished between
now and the November election. The
peace and safety of the Indiana border
require something of this kind to be
done, and done at once.
From the best reliable information we
can obtain, there is an aggregate force
of rebels in the portion of Ksntueky
bordering on the Ohio River, from Salt
River to Smithland, amounting to al
least 1000, and the military authorities
should look to them at once.

The mountain Democrat., 1864-01-16
A YANKEE poet thus describes the ex-
cess of his devotion to his true love:
sing her praise in poetry,
For her at morn and eve,
cries whole pints of bitter tears,
And wipe them with my sleeve.

A SOLDIER being asked if he met with
much hospitality while in Ireland, replied
that he was in the hospital nearly all the
time he was there.
To ALL men the best friend is virtue;
the best companions are high endeavors
and honorable sentiments.
Noisy men are like railway engines,
which make great uproar, ard some
times no work, but they are always the
puppets OF the quiet men of intellect, who
are the drivers and stokers Of our great
social machine.
BEFORE we say how wicked that man is,
let US examine ourselves, and see If we are
not more wicked in some other way.
MANY who repent of public life and re-
tire to obscurity, repent of their repent
ance, ard long to retire from their retire
ment.
The most intollerant and ferocious oI
human beings is your philanthropist by
trade.
INDUSTRY and economy will get rich
while sagacity and intrigue are laying
their plans.

How NOT TO DO n.-An intelligent
army correspondent Of the New York
Times writes:-
It remains to be seen what action the
military authorities ct Washington will
take in regard to the Army Of the PotO-
mac; in view of the pass to which affairs
have been brought by the late campaign.
Every one in the army here agrees that
active operations against Richmond by
this line are over for this year. l may
say, further, that everybody is persuaded
that nothing can ever be done against
Richmond by this line. The map Is
against our ever being able to do anything
eeec1Se %, thia way BY any such force as
We now have Every General ia the
army agrees that the south side of the
James River is the only line on which to
operate directly against Richmond. IT.
therefore, the Army of the Potomac is for
the present to do nothing, we should ct
once abandon this barren wilderness, for.
tify the fords Of the Potomac, man the de.
fenses Of Washington thoroughly, and
send two or three of our best corps to the
decisive theatre of war in the Southwest
When the business there is once well done
up, it will be no longer question either
of Richmond or of Virginia.
A New York paper aptly remarks:
What confession is this to make at
the close Of the month of October, 1853
The reader will at once recall General Nc
Clellan's entreaty to the Administration
not to abandon the Peninsula, nor to leave
James River. He will recall General
Scott's advice, and find that Richmond
could be reached in this way, and in no
other. He will recall, also, the testimony
of the wisest and bravest commanders 10
the field.
Another of our contemporaries has the
following:
II is now nearly twelve months since
Mcclellan was removed, because he did not
move faster and take Richmond. We
have tried three Generals since. We
have had large reinforcements, draft of
three hundred thousand men, and yet the
army is not out of hearing of the cannon
in the fortifications about Washington
At this rate, when shall we reach Rich
mond? When shall we drive the rebel
army out of Virginia? 1t is apparent that
We have made no progress since McClel-
Ian left the Peninsula. Then it 10 con-
ceded by all military men that We might
have taken the capital of the rebel confed
eracy, and, by detaching Virginia, de-
stroycd their organization; then we could
have brought the war to a close.
