LOUISVILLE ITEMs.-We clip the fol-
lowing from the Louisville Journal of
Tuesday: -S
A great flood in the Ohio is predicted
by the weather-wise.
The veteran I'D Pennsylvania arrived
yesterday, and we understand viii be
paid off in this city before leaving for
etheir homes. 1t is unnecessary to add
that the gallant boys have re-enlisted rs
The city was crowded with soldiers
yesterday, and we regretted to observe,
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, that great proportion of them
were intoxicated, and will wake up in
the guard-house this morning.
One hundred jolly recruits arrived
from Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, and
passed through to the battle-felds of
glory We might also add that one
hundred mechanics for the military rail
roads now being constructed arrived
yesterday, en- route to their field of ope-
ton.
A squad of deserters were brought up
from Nashville to be forwarded to Camp
Chase.
Forty-six soldiers were received for
different regiments in the field
The following saloons on Market
street were closed by the Provost Mar
shall yesterday, for selling liquor to sol
diers: Fishers jaeger Hall, NJ Bueller's,
Weinrick's, Strube's, G. II. Holling-
camps, Grass & Walters, Union Hotel,
Fashion, VIM. Dargefs, G. G. Knapp's,
Shane & Velton's, Fitzpatrick's, and
McSweeney's
Some fifty or more rebel prisoners were
brought to Nashville on Saturday and
lodged in the military prison. We hear
that a son of DIR. Granville P. Smith
was amongst them.
ALL the saloons at Nashville have been
closed by the military authorities.
The Press says DR.. Ogilvie Byron Young
has been released from prison, and pro-
poses to become d citizen of Nashville.
The military commission acquitted him
of the charges on which he was arraign-
ed before it.

FEMALE SMUGGLERs CAUGHT. = A
Washington dispatch states that a few
days ago Miss Elizabeth Bidgood, sister
of Mr.. Bidgood, bookseller and stationer
in Richmond, and Mrs. Frances Levy,
started from Washington by stage to
Richmond
Four large trunks, several carpet-bags,
and number of bundles, composed
their baggage. Their journey was inter
rupted, however, by Col. L. C. Baker,
near Port Tobacco, who arrested the
twain and brought them and their bag
gage to town. An Investigation of the
trunks, bags and bundles disclosed
cloths, silks, handkerchiefs, hose, &c,
which would have readily broug hit in
Richmond twelve or fifteen thousand dol
lars. The goods were packed in the
most skillful manner to escape detection.
Handkerchief, towels, and even cloths
were stitched together, to be passed off
as underskirts In addition to the
dry-goods, Miss Bidgood had large
mail sewed into her skirts. An account
current with firm in New York showed
q balance ef about 81, 800 in favor of the
Southern depositors, who had forwarded
drafts to New York, where they were
sold The ladies also had about 81 200
IN Confederate money with them. The
correspondence implicated a number of
persons, and several arrests have been
made The two ladies are now in the
Old Capitol prison.

To- There is rumor in Washington
to the effect that about four weeks ago
an agent of the rebel Government pass
ed through that city to New York, to
make arrangements with the editor of a
prominent paper there to keep it alive.
The Ambassador, the rumor states, with
his "dineing and windeing"at secession
boarding house in Washington, became
garrulous and openly asserted that from
$500 to 81 900 week would be given in.
Confederate securities to keep the paper
going
The story is not improbable in any
particular, except the Confederate Sc
curities" Even JEFF. Davis himself,
would not be so foolish as to anticipate
that anything-much less Copperhead
daily paper-could be kept alive in New
York on Confederate securities"
The Lamar correspondence exposed
the extent to which English papers were
subsidized by rebel agents with rebel
gold, and most certainly the Confederate
authorities would have no hesitation in
using the same agency to break down
the unanimity of the Northern States,
create dissatisfaction with the war and
prepare the public mind for the recog-
milton of the rebel Government. 1t can
not have been forgotten how unanimous
the people were in the early part of
1861 for the suppression of the rebellion
by force of arms; nor how suddenly,
afterwards, leading Democratic papers in
different parts of the country took the
opposite course. The unanimity with
which they advocated the impossibility
Of suppressing the rebellion must have
had common source of inspiration
What so likely to inspire them as lib
eral distribution of rebel gold. We
have always wondered at the suddenness
of their change from war to peace pa
| pers-and can account for it in no way
so satisfactory as that furnished by the

18th. 1862 Gen. Met lellan says that a dec
laration of rad cal views upon slavery
will disntegrate our present armies, and
render hopeless the effort to obtain other
soldiers"
The difference between MeClellan's
predictions and their fulfllment is as the
difference between the situations of our
Government and armies at the close of
the years 1862 and 1868.
At the close of the year 1862 we could
look back upon year in which the Ma
tional armies had been foiled at almost
every point. Gen. Grant had been de-
feated in all his efforts to flank Vicks
burg. The disastrous capture of Holly
| Springs, with Sherman repulse at Vicks-
burg, crowned with the terrible disaster
at Fredericksburg, had filed the rebe1
States with. rejoicing, and enveloped
patriotic hearts in gloom.
The peace Democracy had succeeded
at most of the elections in the Northern
States, and were jubilant at the prospec
of controlling the next Congress ant
compelling the President to abandon tn
war.
Up to this time, it will be remember
ed, the President had persisted in pul
suing a conservative policy towards slt
very. He had not said anything to net
, tralize the effects of his modification {
the proclamations of Gems. Fremont an
Hunter. 1t is true, he had issued n,
tice of forthcoming Proclamation, br

EGr St. Louis has recently offered
such secure market for stolen horses
that the thieves became emboldened, and
have about cleaned the good stock out of
the country fer hundred miles around
the city. A well-organized gang have
operated quite extensively in Southern
Illinois, and until recently managed to
elude detection-when caught were never
convicted. The citizens became tired of
this, and few weeks since lynched Ned
| o. Brien, one of the ringleaders. Since
that time FIVE other horse-thieves, who
were caught with stolen property, have
beenhung, and the gang is believed to be
exterminated The matter swas con-
Quoted so quietly that few beside the
participants had any knowledge of what
transpired The last man hung was
about the 1st inst, in Randolph County
These thieves were also engaged in cir
culating counterfeit money, and have
put in circulation large quantities o
bogus greenbacks and postal currency.

PoRK PACKING IN THE WEsT.--The
Cincinnati Price Current of the 9th inst.
gives some interesting facts and figures
in relation to pork packing in the West
this season. 1t publishes the amount
packed in large number of towns in
Ohio, Indiana Illinois, and other West
ern States.
According to the figures of the Price
Current the whole number of hogs pack
ed, up to the 9th inst, in the West, is
1,982,659 against 3,l6S.559 last year.
The estimate amount for this year is q
254,897. The deficiency viii not fall far
short, according to these figures, of
100000 hogs.
1t is now clear that the hogs this sea-
son will be the lightest ever prepared be-
fore, and the yield of lard per hog far
less than any season upon record The
deficiency SO far is about 80 per cent. in
the number and in weight about 10 per
cent.
