WEEKLY COURIER,

U'he Ball Opened in East Tennessee.From the Knoiville Register, Aug. 13.

For some time siuce it has been knownthat Capt. Thornburg, of Union county,a strong Lincolnite, has been organizing amilitary company for the avowed purposeof aiding in the subjugation of the South.The arrangements beiDg complete, onTriday last, they took up the line of march3br Kentucky, to unite with the Lincolnforces there being organized, and to return10 their own native section, andupon the soil of East Tennessee the dam-jiaul- e

deeds that has marked their coursein Missouri, Virginia and Maryland.

Fortunately, however, a report of theirmovements reached the ears of Lieut. Col.T. M. Walker, in command at Cumberlandiap. Forthwith he dispatched the gallantJapt. H. M. Ashby, with a portion of the

cavalry under his command, to interceptthe passage, and if possible, arrest theTing leader. They came in contact withCupt. Thornburg and his traitor band oteiu-ht- men, near Koger's Gap, in Scottcounty. They were armed with JohnBrown pikes, and pistols, bowie kuivesand some few rifles. A surrender was

demanded.It was refused, and a charge made upon

them, which put the whole party to flight.Several shots were lired, one of whichtook effect in the neck of Capt. Thornburg,checked his locomotion and lorced him tosurrender. Some seven or eight otherswere captured, besides fourteen horses,twenty-seve- n pikes, several large knives,pistols, rifles, satchels, saddles. In fact itwas a miniature Mauassas affair.

Lieut. Gibbs was the hero of the battle.Capt.Thornburg had a valuable horse,whichLieut. Gibbs was anxious to purchase whenhe entered the Confederate service. Thorn-burg asked 400 for him, but refused to letGibbs have him at any price. The Lieu-

tenant told him he would yet have thepleasure of riding him; that wheneverThornburg attempted to cross the Cum-

berland Mountain, on his hellish mission,he would capture him and take his horse.

What he told in jest has been realized.Lieut. Gibbs made a gallant charge uponthe Captain, took him prisoner, and nowparades upon his line horse.

This is but the beginning in East Tennes-see, and unless better coimsels prevail, noman can tell the en'l. Tnis man Tfroro-tour- g

iB represented as one of the leadingrebellious spirits of this section. lie wasfminri in arms acainst the Government towhich he owes allegiance; has committedreason araiust the State and Confederate

Government, and the full penalty of hiscrime should be visited upon him. Thereis no excuse or justification for his acts.Towards his deluded followers we havedifferent feelings. They "know not whatthev do." Thev have been misled and deceived, and are the victims of misplacedconfidence. The truth has been a sealedbook to them, and their minds poisonedwith false representations.

It is enough to make the blood chill inth veins, and everv Tennesseean to blushwith shame for his native or adopted State,to find such vile miscreants withm her bor-

ders. Great God! can it be that there areliends in human form, living in our midst,who are willing to take up arms againsttheir own brethren? That are seeking tocompose a portion of a "Graud Army" toinvade their own 6oil. Invite and formpart of a mercenary band to lay waste anddevastate meir own secLiuu; ucbhuj hiproperty and burn the houses ot theirneighbors and friends: take lrom the bonest laborer the food provided for his familyIv the sweat of his brow; to feed thosewho come to kill and destroy; to have thecivil made subservient to the military pow-

er, and to welcome with open arms devilsincarnate to commit brutal violence upontheir mothers, wives, daughters, and sistars. Such acts have blackened the footpaths of this invading army, wherever theyhave Deen quartered, ana sucu is wc cuai-acte- r

of those who make up its numbers.We again appeal to the honest masses to

arouse from their slumbers, burst asunderthe cords that bind them, and forsake thenaths that are leadmir to their ruin and destruction. A fearful retribution awaits theauthors of this mischief. They may escapethe penalties prescribed by tinman lawslint I'vpTin-pftiipf-i if; minft. saii.h the Lord."

Trom Albany.Albany, Aug. 15. The Breckinridge

State Central Committee met at the Dela-

ware House in this city yesterday. Twelvemembers out ot sixteen were preseut.-M- r.

John A. Green, chairman, called th'Committee to order. After an interchangeof views, the following resolutions wereadopted unanimously:

Resolved. That the State Committee, representing that portion of the Democraticparty of the State of New York which sus-

tained the Maryland Institute platform atthe last election, witness with deep con-

cern and apprehension the long predictedresult of the Northern sectional aggressionsunon the riirhts of the Southern States

That as we have uniformly opposed in. the past the policy which we foresaw must

produce disunion, so we are equallyprompt to raise our voices against civilwar as the worst and most meneciuai ar-

gument that can be addressed to the se-

ceded States.That we deny that the present struggle

is in every sense a war for the Union, andinsist that th03e who have precipitateo tneStates into hostilities, neither care nor aeeire the Union thereby.

Resolved, That we advocate the proposi-tion of an armistice between the contending armies North and South a,nd the imme-diate convocation of a convention of dele-gates from all the States which acknowl-edged themselves members of the Unionin November, 150, to the end that all

may be peacefully adjusted, ourland saved from bloodshed and restored topeace, concord and Union.

Resolved, That the endeavor to coercethe seceding States has had its fining coun-terpart in the recent aggressions madeupon the rights of free speech, and freepress in those States which 6till adhere tothe Uniou.

That after the announcement that therewas a law higher than the Constitution wewere prepared to see the party now inpower declare the Constitution suspendedat and during their pleasure, and that the ar-

rest without warrant and the incarcerationwithout examination of citizens not ad-

judged guilty of any crime, the denial ofthe right of petition, the setting at defiancethe courts of law of our State by order ofmilitary officials, the suspension of news-papers, the deprivation of the military oftheir arms, the declaration and enforce-ment of martial law, the unauthorized sei-

zures and searches without sanction of le-- .

gal proof, and the conversion of our fortsinto military Bastiles, demand at the handsof a people jealous of their liberties a sol-

emn and indignant protest.Jiesolved, That this State Convention has

learned with much satisfaction of the re-

fusal of the State Committee of whichDean Richmond is Chairman, to accept theovertures of the Republicans for coalitionwith them upon a single State ticket uponthe approaching election.

That for this declared determination tocontinue to labor for the overthrow of theRepublican party and policv, we respect-fully tender to them the right hand offellowship.

That sacrificing all minor considerations,and burying past rtieseutions in a desire toeee a consolidated front opposed to the Re-

publican party, this St.ate Committee willnot call a separate State Convention at thislime, and that we recommend those Dem-ocrats who have recognized this organiza-tion, to unite in the election of delegates tothe State Convention, cilled to meet atSyracuse on the 4th of September, believ-ing that Convention will distinctly declareitself for measures of peace and reconcili-- .ation.

A resolution was unanimously adoptedexpelling Mathew McMahon from the com-mittee, he having accepted office under theFederal Government, and declared himselfa supporter of its policy.

Old Shelby for Peace.Shelby County, August 16.

Editor Louisville Courier: I notice inyour issue of yesterday au extract fromthe Frankfort Yeoman, suggesting the callef a joint State Convention without

to party, of all those opposed to theexisting war, and in favor of restoringpeace to our distracted country, to assem-ble at Frankfort early in September. Al60a call for a peace meeting in your city for

night. I beg ito assure you,Messrs. Editors, that thej step will meetwith a hearty response .from much thelargest portion of the people of my coun-ty. Many ot our people who voted theUnion ticket in the recent election are

against the war now be-

ing waged by the Lincoln Administration;the uujust and onerous direct tax laidupon our property by an iniquitous warparty, and are in favor of peace. ManyUnion men, in the recent acts of the partyin the State, in planting troops in encamp-ment in several of the upper counties inthe State, now see they have been deceivedand hoodwinked by theLouisville Journaland other papers in the State . sustainingLincoln, and arc speaking out boldlyacknowledging the fact, ;that the leadershave practised duplicity upon them, andnever adopted the neutrality ground withthe intention of carrying, lit out in goodfaith.

The cry should be Peace ! Peace ! Letthe good people, in every county in theState,at once call meetings, and adopt reso-lutions declaring against the war and forpeace. Allow me to suggest also, that thepeople of every county draw up petitionspraying our Representatives in the Legis-lature to U6e all the means in their powerto stop this ruinous war, and to pass resolutious requesting our Senators aud Rep-resentatives in Congress to use every effortto procure the repeal of the tax whichmust, if coerced from the people, end inpauperising them.

letter from Padncah The Vote ofWcC'racken County.Paducah, Ky., Aug. 7th, 1801.

Editors Louisville Courier: Upon a care-ful examination of the poll books, I findthat Gov. John Q. A. King received everyvote cast at each precinct except fifteen.His vote run up to 655. Since the war pro-clamation of old Abe, in April last, morethan 300 Southern Rights men and votershave left this county and joined the South-ern army. Gov. King had no opposition;had he been opposed, his majority wouldhave been between 000 and 700 votes.

All things working smoothly. Success

At about seven o'clock on the morningof the 21st, an order was communicated tome to follow, with the battery under Lieut.Squires, the brigade of Gen. Jackson thenon tne marcn towarus oiune uriuge.Every preparation having been previouslymade, the order to mount was immediatelygiven, and the battery moved forward, ar-

riving at Lewis' farm house, just in timeto receive the first tire from the enemy'sguns, then in position near Stone Bridge;here 1 was oraerea to uauauu a wan urucrnfrom Gen. Bee; shortly after 8J o'clock A.M., I deatched two nues guus, unaerLieut. Richardson, aud took position aboutone-hal- f mile to the left of Lewis' farmhouse, where the enemy was found inlare numbers; fire was at once opened bythe section under lieut. riicnaruson, anacontinued with rood effect, until his situation became so perilous that he was obligedto withdraw. tiriDsr whilst retiring, untilhis guus were out of range, when he liiubered up and reported to me. la this engagement one of the enemy's pieces wasdismounted oy a snob lnim me ime guudirected by First Sergeant Owen, first coin- -

nanv. and other serious worK was accomplished. Now, under directions ot Gen.Cooke, I took position in battery on thehill in lront of Lewis' farm house, my gunsdirected towards Stone Bridge, where itwas reported the enemy was about toattack. Shortly before ten o'clock orderswere communicated to me to advancewith my battery to a point which was in-

dicated, near the position lately occupiedby the section under Lieutenant Richard-son. Here we at once opened fire, soonobtaining range with the rifle guns againstartillery, and the 6 pounders, with roundshot, spherical, case and cannister, againstinfantry, scattering, by ourtire, death, destruction and confusion inthe ranks of both; as the enemy's artillerywould frequently get our range we advanced by hand to the front, until finally,the battery was upon the crown of the hill.entirely exposed to the viw of their ar-

tillery and infantry. At this moment theirfire lell like hail around us, the artillery infront of our position evidently sufferinggreatly from the concentration of lire frommy truns and those of the battery on myright, and notwithstanding we were at thistime subjected to a terrific tire of infantryon our left, iny guus were as rapidly andbeaittilully served by the cannoneers anawith as much composure and silence asthey are when upon llieordinary daily drill.

The batteries of the caemy on our fronthaving become silenced, and the lire of theinfantry upon our left increasing, I consid-ered it prudent to remove my battery fromits then exposed condition, being nearlyout of ammunition (some of the guns hav-ing only a lew rounds left in the boxes;)the order to limber to the rear was conse-quently given, aud my batteries, followedby the batteries on my right, Was removedto its first position upon the elevatedground near Lewis' farm house. At aboutone o'clock, as nearly as I can now calcu-late, Lieut. Squires was detached withthree six pounders and took position nearthe road leading to Stone Bridge, fromLewis' house, and directing against theenemy's artillery, which had now openedfire upon our position from the vicinity ofStone Bridge. This fire having been si-

lenced by some guns of Colonel Pendleton,and the section of my guus under Lieut.Squires, we discovered from the position onthe hill the enemy in full retreat across thefields, in range of my rifled guus, when Iopened tire upon their retreating columns,which was continued with admirableeffect, scattering and causing them tospread over the fields in the greatest con-fusion, until I was ordered to desist byGeneral Jackson, and save my ammunitionfor whatever occasion might now arise.Subsequently, I was permitted by GeneralJohnston to opeu fire again, which wasnow, after having obtained the range, liketarget practice, so exactly did each shot doits work. The enemy, by thousands, inthegreatest disorder, at a double quick, re-

ceived our fire and the fire of the Parrotguu of the battery alongside, dealing terri-ble destruction at every discharge. Thusended the battle of the 21st, the last gunhaving been fired from one of the rifles ofmy battery.

The guns of this battery under commandof Capt. Miller with Gen. Jones' brigade,and Lieut. Garnett with Gen. Longstreet'sbrigade, were not eugaged at their respec-tive points, although under lire a portionot the day. iae howitzer battery uuderLieut, commanding Kosser, with GenEwell's brigade, was on the march from 2o clock P.M., in the direction ot fairlaxCourt House, and returniug by way ofUnion Wills ford, arrived with the reserveat my position, unfortunately too late totaKe a part in tne engagement, notwithstanding the battery was moved at a trotand the cannoneers at a double quick, theentire distance from Union Mills ford.

In this battle my loss has been onekilled Sergeant J. D. Reynolds, Fourthcompany, two wounded Blightly, CorporalE. C. Payne, First company, and privateGeo. Li, oruicner, i ourtn ompany.

I cannot conclude this official reportwithout the expression of my gratefulthanks to the officers and men under mvcommand for their gallant behavior duringthe entire day; they fought like veterans,and no man hesitated in the performanceof any duty or in taking any position towhich it was indicated they were required

in a word 1 desire to 6ay these men areeutirely worthy of the noble Slate that hasscut them forth to tight for the indepen-dence of the Confederate States. To Lieut.Squires, commanding, I desire especiallyto direct your attention; a young officer,the 6econd time under fire (having beenin the engagement of the 18th,) he actedhis part in a manner worthy of a true sol-dier and a brave man.

To ihe Editors Louisifille Courier: It is,perhaps, not yet too late to give, throughyour paper, the word of cheer which theelection news from our county will carryto the hearts of Southern Rights men iuother portions of the State. It is true wedid not succeed in electing our candidatefor the Legislature, but we did succeed inreducing the majority ot 300, given forTrimble on the 20th of June, to 56 vote?,that being the majority of Dr. Ray (Union)over Col. Wm. Bradley, (S. R.)

The Union candidate was an old and triedcitizen, and one of the most popular menin the county, who made the canvass afterthe manner of a "still hunt," which gavehis friends license to represent his sentiments to suit the different shades of opin-ion in different localities. But our candi-date, Col. Bradley, took bold grounds infavor of recognizing the independence ofthe Southern Confederacy, and also in favorof Kentucky uniting her destiny with thatConfederacy as soon as it could be donewith a due regard to the lorms of law. Amore energetic canvass was never made inthis county, and no voter can say ihat hewas lell in doubt as to the position of Col.Bradley or his party. It was iu direct con-demnation of the unconstitutional acts ofthis Black Republican Administration,boldly outspoken trom every stump, andthe good effect of the discussioD is shownin a gain of over 300 in a canvass of lessthan six weeks, while during that canvassbetween sixty and eighty gallant young menleft our county and joined the Southernarmy. Taking the canvass altogether it isa most brilliaut victory, even though wefailed to elect our candidate, and no mandoubts but we could carry the county to-day by at least 150.

The lowest trick, however, attempted tobe played off by the Union party was theeffort to elect Willis Hughes, of Union, tothe Senate, over Cissell, whose time hadonly half expired. Hughes had his circu-lar published only four days before theelection, though it was doubtless well un-

derstood by the party weeks before hand,that the effort would be made to slip himin. The friends of Cissell would not allowhim to announce himself a candidate, butwent to work and had a poll opened atevery voting place in the district. The re-sult was, Cissell carried the district byabout 1,100. The Southern Rights party-ar- e

Attempt of Lincoln's Ulockadm;Squadron to uomunru i.nivesiun.Galveston papers of Tuesday, 6th, ad

vise us ot two attempts on tne part oithe blockading fleet on that station to shell

the city the first by the 6chooner Dart, onSaturday, 3d, doing no damage; the secondby the steamer South Carolina, on the afternoon of the same day, which resultedin the killing of one man, the wounding oftwo or three slightly, and the damaging ofseveral' dwellings. From the News' ac-

count of the bombardment, we extractthe following:

In the afternoon, the South Carolina,with one of her armed prizes in tow, andfollowed by the Dart, left her usual stationoff Bolivar Peninsula, east of the city, between three and lour o clock, and camedown the Island, some four or five milesoffshore, to a point opposite the extremeeast end ot the city, lhere she turned,dropping the vessel in tow, which remained there; ana the propeller ran up towardsthe bar, to nearly opposite the two beachbatteries, in charge of Capt. SchneidersTurner tunes, from Houston.

In the meantime our steamer, the General Ru6k, Capt. Leon Smith, beiug armedand manned, got up steam aud moved to-

wards the bar.Col. Moore, while superintending both

batterieSj took personal charge of gun No.

Neil!, Mason, and Hamilton assisted inworking it. The second piece in this bat-tery was in charge of Ordnance SergeantG. II. Schreeder, Lieut. Willrich in command of the men. In the second battery,which is about 400 vards to the east ot theother, Lieutenant Rottenstcin and Sergeantisrunow had charge oi me two Dig uiacie32 pounders.

The Dart came sailing down in front ofthe batteries, doubtless to draw her fire,but this was of no avail. The steamer hadnow come almost to a standstill. She waswithin range, aud seemed to dare attack.She had not long to wait. Col. Mooresighted No. 1 at her, and in a moment afterthe white smoke rose above the breastworks, and the thuudering report thatshook the earth and filled the air an-

nounced that the contest had begun.All eyes now turned to the steamer. In

a minute, a puff of white smoke issuedfrom her prow, as she still continued tomove slowly ou; the heavy report rangout: and then the sharp hum of a shellwas distinctly heard.

Aeain. atrain. and again this elow interchange of shots took place, the intervalspretty regular between each.

Cant. Alden now began, however muchto our mingled astonishment and indigna-tion to fire shells over the city. He hadendeavored to enfilade the guns in the batteries, but his gunners failed to hit eitherthe sandbags or the men around and nearthem. He doubtless then bethought himthat, as he had succeeded so well in open-ing ladies' letters, he would be as triumphant in frighteuing or injuring our womenand children.

Several large shells exploded high in theair. the pieces flying in all directions, larand near. One piece traversed the roof ofTankersfey s house, one square in tne rearof Mr. brown s and Gen. lienors resiuences, on Broadway. It went through thepantry, next to Ihe kitchen, and throughthe outer plank wall into the yard. Weheard of a piece falling at the South sideof the Public Square, penetrating the roofand floor of Mr. J. Dykeinan's portico, anentire bomb at Mr. Close's foundry, apiece going to the 1ft Ward Market, and

den.The British Consul s residence Is near

Mr. League's, and his flag was flyiug, as ithas been for a month, at an elevaiiou thatit can easily be seen at a great distance.Another consular flag was up, lurther inthe city, northeast of Mr. League's, butthe hostile shell paid no attention to them

A Urge number of people having collect-ad on and near the sand hills, a little tothe eastward of the batteries, to gratifytueir curiosity, a shell tell among them,apparently directed lor that purpose, cuttingone man in two, and earryiag away mosiot his body between the shoulders and inhips, aDd exploding about the same timeSome two or three others were slightlywounded with the pieces, one ot whom isa son ot Mr. Menard, our worthy DeputyCollector. The name of the man killedwas Frank Sylva, an Italian or Portageese, whose occupation, wtv understandwas selling iruits, KC.

This, we believe, was all the harm thatwas done by this first attempt to bombardour city. Ihe firing continued about nnian hour. Some of the shells measuredten inches iu diameter, and must have beenthrown by a 08 pouudr, said to be thesteamer s pivot gun.

We understand that yesterday all theforeign consuls united in signing a letteto Capt. Alden, In which they remonstrated in the strongest terms againstnis nnninto the city on Saturday afternoon last,nithout the warning that is invariably given to remove the women and children, insick and those incapable ot taking armsThis protest was transmitted to ColonelMoore, and we are infwrmed will be sentout to Capt. Alden uuder a white flag.

August 4, 1801. j

Last night at 12 o'clock, while our troopswere all in the sweet embrace of Morpheus,save the sentinels, we were aroused by thelong roll which is a call for every one torise from his plank, blanket, or perhapsout oftlie6and. "The bliud, lame and halt,"all soon with their ready guns and accou-terment-

were in lines, aiid from what Ican learn, all were ready and willing, onlyfearing that it would terminate, as it did"a flash in the pan." Ou inquiry, I fiudthat the poor miserable hirelings, beingtortured so very much by muequetoe3, andflies, wanted to get rid of the pest lor afew moments, cousequcntlythey hitched onsome seven or eight schooners to a steam-boat and approached in gun shot of ourwharf, whereupen the long roll was sound-ed, and soon it echoed throughout the vi-

cinity of Warrington.My humble opinion is that they wanted

to attract more of our attention to thenavy yard, or try to make Gen. Bragg be-

lieve that they will attempt at laudingtroops in the navy yard, aud make onegrand effort at East Pass and at Perdido;the former being about forty miles above,and the latter ten miles below. Whensuch a landing is effected, they would atonce march in on ns on the rear.

They rre now, agreeable to the report ofa late deserter, in rather a slim "predica-ment," as the yellow fever has nude itsappearance in their gloomy midst. AndBilly Wilson's have everythingportable in the fort, and have been removedabout one and a half miles below.

All the deserters coucur in saying that800 of their regiment would come over ifthey could, and they have emly 2200 menon Santa Rosa and three batteries.

The Direct Tax Oppressive to theWest.

The Direct Tax Bill passed by Congressat Its late session,will bear very heavily onKentucky and the other Western States.Speaking of its oppressive character andinequality, the St. Louis Republican (in-

tensely Union) says :

The new revenue act bears very heavilyon the West, lis oppressive character andinequality, iu reference to this section ofthe country, were exposed in a speech ofsome power by Mr. Arnold, the Represen-tative from Chicago. A direct tax basedupon representation must necessarily behard on the new States, whose populationis very large in proportion to their wealth.Thus Illinois, with not a fifth part of thewealth of Massachusetts, pays, in directtaxes, some hundreds of thousands of dol-lars more than Massachusetts. Whol-ly assessed, as it is, on land and build-ings which form so large a part of theproperty owned iu the West, and which arevalued high is proportion to the rent or in-come they yield much higher, in fact,than land and buildings in the East, and inthe older Slates it is felt more here thanthere.- Personal property aud establish-ments, and articles which constitute muchof the wealth of the East, are exempted.whether from an ad valorem or specifictax. Watches, gold and silver plate, audjewelry, pictures, statues and libraries, anda hundred articles which minister to luxu-rious taste, are exempted. The New Eng-land and Eastern members evidently re-solved to throw the heaviest burden of tax-ation oil' their own shoulders, and imposeit on the people of the West. Then it willresult that this war will be maintainedchiefly by the West, which is required tocontribute by far the largest proportion ofthe money, and will no doubtcontributethe largest proportion of men.

T. A. R. Nelson. We understand thatMr. Nelsou has acknowledged his obliga-tion, as a citizen of the State of Tennessee,to submit to her late decision; and uponhis promise to act hereafter in accordancetherewith, the President of the Confeder-ate States has ordered his release.

Two resigned officers of the UnitedStates army passed through this city oaMonday, who were impressed into the ser-vice against their native South at Manas-sas. Ihey had just returned lrom theircommands iu the far West, and were or-dered to the command of dragoons in thebattle of the 2lst. They tendered theirresignations, but these were declined, andthey were ordered to go into the battleagainst their will.

They were not ordcrid up to the front ofthe battle uutil near its close. Their mendid not tire a gun, but eighteen of themwere killed aHd wounded. After the battle,they applied for a furlough, wbieh wasgranted, when they went to Louisville, Ky.,aud thence forwarded their resignation, toenter the Confederate service. They havegone to Richmond.

the Frankfort Yeoman ofyesterday we copy the following extractsfrom letters in regard to the late election:

CLARksnuRG, Lewis Co., Aug. 9, 1861.Editor Yeoman: Our election is over and

we are beaten, but not conquered or sub-dued. The result is as follows:Geo. M. Thomas, (H. R.) 178Lindsey B. Ruggles, (H. R) 1'4

Mr. Thomas first set out in favor of co-ercion and the war; but finding that hewould lose a great many of his originalUniou friends, he backed down from that,and declared himself iu favor of peace andopposed to the war and the war tax. Letus watch him and eee how he acts whenhe gets up to Frankfort. A majority ofour people are against this war and the tax,and if our opponents had taken that posi-tion fairly, they would have been beaten.

You see that we have gained nearly 100votes en our June vote.

t3f" Gov. Dcnnison, of Ohio, has beenreproving the volunteers of that State forstealing chickens, fcc., from the "rebels."Why don't they turu round and reprovethe Governor for stealing negroes.

Louisville, July 20, 1861. )'

General Orders, I

No. 6. i1. The Inspector General having tender-

ed the resigua ion of his commission, here-by relinquishes command of the KentuckyState Guard, which will devolve uponBrigadier General Thomas L. Crittendeu.The Inspector General congratulates theGuard on receiving him for a Commander.

2. The Inspector General deeply regretsthat the official relations which have ex-

isted between him and yourselves areabout to be severed. From the beginningof your organizition he has had the honorof being your Comniauder. In retiringfrom that position, he tflkes pleasure incommending your excellent conduct ascitizens and soidiers. In the difficult po-

sitions which you have occupied, you havedischarged with fidelity all duties you havebeen called on to perform. You have dis-played, in an eminent degree, those virtuesof the true soidier strict military disci-pline, and perfect subordination to the civiliaw.

Your own conduct and the purposes ofyour organizition have been studiouslyassailed and misrepresented by many ; butthOBe who have most bitterly assailed youhave been ever ready to receive honors atyour hands, and those who have most con-stantly misrepresented you, have mosteagerly sought your protection in limes ofapprehended danger."

Whatever may have been the politicalviews of the members of your orgauiza- -

tion, you nave invariably relused, in yourcapicity as soldiers, to lend yourselves toparty uses. Under all circumstances youbays discharged your duty to the State.

Whatever may be said by those who areinimical to you, the history of the State,at a time when the poputar mind has beenunusually lnliamed, will show that sinceyour organization, no mob has interferedwith the rights of citizens, no apprehension has existed of servile insurrection,and that there has been no time when, incomplete subordination to the civil authorities, vou would not have renrpsscdany act of lawless violence which wouldhave had lor its object the forced precipi-tation of the State into a line of policy contrary to the intentions ot its people. It isdue, in no inconsiderable degree to you,that Kentucky y enjoys comparativeimmunity lrom the political phrenzy whichreigns elsewhere, and that, without anyforcible interference, she has calmly chosenher political position. It is ouly when thecivil authorities have themselves subordinated their actions to the iulluences ofnovel and illegal military oiganization thatthe public peace has been in danger of be-

ing disturbed, and the rights of citizensplaced in jeopiruy.

In relinquishing the command which hasassociated him with you, you will not thinkit improper if the Inspector General advisesyou to be faithful to Kentucky in the fu-

ture, as you have been in the past. How-ever you may employ your influence ascitizens, your duty as soldiers is ono of en-

tire subordination to the civil authorities.You should manifest a purpose in future.as in the past, to uphold the Constitutionand the laws, and to make no lactious op-

position, as a minority, to the legally ex-

pressed will of Kentucky.The position of Kentucky is an anoma-

lous one, but it has resulted thus lar inmaintaining peace and friendly relationswith the entire Uuion, and in the conser-vation amongst us of some remnants ofConstitutional liberty, while in every othersection the Constitution has either beenignored, on the one hand, or trampledunder loot by a centralized, dictatorialpower on the other.

The knowledge that war in our midstwill briug with it all its attendant evils,has induced Kentucky to declare on theone baud that as long a3 her position is re-

spected she will remain a member of theUnion, aud ou the other, that she willmaintatn that degree of neutrality whichwill prevent her from taking part in a fruit-less and unnecessary war, that was first in-

duced by intolerance and fanatisim, and isnow urged by sectional hatred and a lustof power and dominion.

A considerable part of the people ofKentucky, proiessiug to believe that, youwould be unfaithful to the policy of neu-trality in which they were Instrumental inplacing the Slate, have urged the formal ionin our midst of other military organizations, soiue of them uoder the forms oflaw, and some of them unknown to audabove the law, avowedly for the purposetf maintaining peace and neutrality in theState. In all probability the political power ot the State will pass into the hands otthe political clubs which control these organizations. It will then rest with themto enforce the peace policy which they haveprofessedly claimed that you would violate.With them now rests the power and theresponsibility of miiutaining peace. Lettheir houest exercise of the power justifytheir professions of sincerity; aud if theyfulfill their pledget let us render them thejustice which they havu refused to extendto you iu your successful efforts to per-form your part of the duty of maintainingpeace in Kentucky.

The First Blood Spilled.A gentleman who formed one of the

body guard of Geo. W. Bridges, on his re-

cent trip across the Cumberland mountainshas returned to Athens. He reports thatraul Alcuermot, E(i., a promising audpopular young lawyer of that town, now amember of Captain Lowry's company, ouservice in Feutrets county, was sent sut alew days since as one ot a scouting party.Late iu the day his horse returned to thecamp, without the rider. This excitedalarm, aud a squad was dispatched to ascertain his late. Some distance trom tliencampment they saw iu the road a quantity of blood, aud evidences ot a struggle.Reaching a cabin near by, they learned thatJWcDemiot had been attacked by threemen, Lincoluites, and severely beaten, ifnot killed, lie was tracked by his bloodfor some distance, but his body was notfound up to the time this gentleman leftaud but little doubt remains that he wascruelly murdered.

This news, as might be expected, createdinteuse excitement in McMinn, where hewas well known aud esteemed. In lessthan twenty-fou- r hours after the newreached that county, more than 1,000 ofthe citizens met in Athens, and severalhundred 01 thetu irrespective ot past partyauterences, at once voiun eered, and stiouldered their rilles and muskets, and took uptheir line ot march lor i entrees, to ascertain the truth or falsity of the report, andxt true, to avenge his death.

This is the true spirit. The only safelythe loyal citizens of East Tennessee haveis in their own strong arms aud bravehearts.

The honest masses are hourly takingBlues witn the couth, and showing a patriotic determination to defend their Hearthstones from foreign or domestic violence.But the Lincolu leaders, aud those whoblindly follow them, are for civil strife, andare sending out pilots to guide the Federallorces through the mountain passes, un-less more prompt measures are inaugurated, all the horrors ot a civil war will beupon us in less than two weeks.

Dear Sisteh: I take the pleasure of writing you a few lines to inform you that Ihave arrived at home once more, aftertraveling a hard and long road. I havehad the pleasure of seeiug the Yankees,and worst of all we had to retreat. Wefought them the hardest battle that everwas fought. We fought them two hoursand three-qaarter- we had only two hundred and fifty men and the Yankees hadbetween four and tive thousand. We foughttueui 1111 our ammunition gave out, audthen we had to retreat. Our loss was be-

tween thirty-fiv- e and forty, and the Yan-kee's loss was three hundred aud fitly, anda great mauv wounded. They say they donot know what we were made of; that thevknew we were not made of flesh andbones. The night of the retreat was thegreatest night I ever saw in my life. Itraveled three days and three nights without any sleep, and neither did 1 have anything to eat.

I never saw such times in my life. Ourregiment was cut to pieces, and the reasonof my coming home, was that we had tofill up our compauy again. We can remain no longer than the 2M of August,and then we will go and try them again. Inave seen a great many ueorgia Kegiuif-nts- ;

they fought the Yankees like tigers. Thevhad a tight at Laurel Hill, and they hadbetween 12 and 1,500 men, and loss of ourmen was about 10 killed and 6 wounded.I know that yen will be surpised to hearthat James Gordon is dead; he was killedat Manassas. The loss ou our side atManassas, was 403 killed and 2.500 wounded, and the enemy's loss 15,000 wounded.

From Washington.Special to the N. Y. Tribune.!

Washington, Aug. 10. The disaffectionin various regimeuts is in consequence ofthe supposed enlistment for three months.Those soldiers who came to open mutinyGen. McDowell decided 6hould be sent tothe Tortugas. Generals McC'lellan andScott indorse the decision, and the Presi-dent ordered it carried into effect.

Sieciaf to the New York HeraM 1

Numberless incidents tend to show thatthe Kebcls are on the eve of attacking ourlines. Last night it was discovered thatthe Kebel lines had been advanced in alldirections towards the Potomac. The forceat Fairfax Court House has been largely

Heavy forces have been thrownout ou all the roads. A large body is pro-ceeding towards the Poiut of Bocks. Theirscouting parties are iu the immediate vi-

cinity of our line along the whole extentof the Potomac.

The Rebels in Baltimore receivedintelligence that the Rebels were thenmarching upon Washington, and the infor-mation was published iu an extra. It isthought that they were only a little prema-ture. Gen. Scott does not think the attackwill be made, but Gen. McClellao who is aclassmate of Beauregard, and is familiarwith his mode of eouihiuatiou, is well con-vinced that he will make an attack uponsome poiut on the Potomac.

It is said the rebels have nearly one hun-dred thousand men between here andRichmond. They have not the means toprovide for the immense army. Theyknow that under McClcllan our army isbecoming daily more formidable in uu'ubeis aud discipline, while their forces aregetting more disorganized and demoralizedby delay, and the poor prospect of provis-ions for their comfort and maintenanceduring the winter.

They cannot allbrd to wait for the resultof Geu. Scott's plan of starving them out,and.Gen. McClellan'sprogramme to have thearmy perfectly disciplined and prepared be-

fore lie begins to advance. They mustcither fight now or see their army meltaway without another blow being struck.That aa attack will be made in a very shorttime is geueraly conceded.

One of a regiment of negroes who tookpart in the battle of Bull Run, at whichtime he made his escape, aud has sincewandered about until he got within ourlines. He asserts that there are in therebel army in Virginia 2,000 or 3,000 ne-

groes armed with Hall's rilles. Most ofthem are from further South than Virginia.The negroes from down South have beentaught that they would be butchered ifthey fell into the hands of the Uniouists,but those picked up iu Viigiuia have a

idea, and would all ruu away if theycould.

Washington, Aur. 10. The CoDfederate forces have nearly all fallen back toFairfax Court House, thus widening thedistance separating the hostile forces. Thepickets of both armies, however, occupyneaily the same advanced position as heretotore.

TPpeclal to the New York Post 1

Anew battery has been erected by theenemy at a point a mile or two below Ac-qu- a

creek. The rebels yesterday suddenlyopened fire on the steamer Pocahontas, butinflicted no damage. This is the fourthbattery which has been erected at thatpoiut. Officers report that unless the Gov-ernment takes immediate action toexpel the rebels from these positionsou the bank of tne river navigation will be,

completely closed. The enemies butteriesalready command a large portion of thePotomac.

Since our capitalists have taken the newGovernment loan so freely the TreasuryDepartment has no doubt that it willbe largely taken abroad in spite ofthe creaking of the newspapers.

Advices which have been received herefrom Kentucky state that the new UuionLegislature will request Breckinridge andPowell to resign their scats in the U. S.Seuate.

The Union men in Kentucky and Ten-nessee say that a great Federal victory inVirginia, when the next battle occurs, willcxtiuguish the rebellion in these States.

The Kebcls continue their barbarouspractice of tiring on our pickets. Cases ofthis kind occur nearly every night.

Judge Nehsoti, of Tonu., is iu jail atRichmond.

the money seized at St. Genevieve yesterday, was at the request of the directors ofme parent Dauli here, to whom it was transferred by Gen. Fremont.

Dispatches were received heresaying that the train conveyiug troops onthe Hanuibal and St. Joseph Railroad wasfired into by Secessionists near Palmyraaud one soldier killed and several wound-ed. Gen.

Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican.Rolla, Mo., Aug. 17. The lorces en

gaged in the battle of Wilson's Creekreached their camping grounds at a pointeight miles southwest of herewhere there is an abundance of water andother facilities for camp life.

Maj. Sturgis assumed command of thearmy at a point thirty miles from Spring-field, and has since conducted the retreat.

The 1st Iowa regiment reached here to-day, and will proceed immediately to St.Louis aud be disbanded, their term of enlistment having expired. The loss of theirregiment was 13 killed, and 13-- wounded;So evriously, 8 mortally and 3 missing.

Lieut. Col. Morritt. commandite the 1stIowa, reports officially that the cuemy hadintbefield 14,000 well armed disciplinedtroops and 10,000 irregular troops, whileour own force was only about 5,000 iu theeariy part 01 the engagement, aud consid-erably less than 4,000 for the concludingfour hours of it.

Capt. Emmett McDonald of hajjeas corpus notoriety, arrived at Maj. Sturgis'camp this morning with a Bag ot truce,ostensibly to negotiate an exchange ofprisoners and procure medical store forthe wounded for both sides, but it isstrongly suspected that he is really actingas a spy. What action Maj. Sturgis will J.take in the matter is not know n.

Arrival or the Bohemian.Farther Point, Aug. IS. The Bohemi-

an has arrived with Liverpool dates to thebih, via Londonderry on the 9ih.

The London Times has a bittsrly sarcas-tic article on the battle of Manassas, andsays doubts must arise that the Southernnut is too hard to crack, and fears that thequestion of blockade in America may in-

volve England in difficult complications.On the last day of the session of Parlia

ment Lord Palmerston expressed his viewsand said if a blockading fleet should allowany vessel to enter any blockaded port onpaying duties, lrom that moment theblockade was raised. A belligerent mayseal up a port but when he lets a single ves-

sel in, his right is gone.An anonymous advertisement appears iu

the Liverpool Press for a shilling testimo-nial to Beauregard.

The London Herald says that Napoleon,on receipt of the news of the defeat of theNorth at Bull Run, resolved to recoguizethe Southern Confederacy.

LETTER FROM GEORGIA.The Feeling in Georgia Mr. Crit-

tenden's Resolution Charging theSouth With the War The Posi-tion of Keutucky Yankee Pedlars,Ac,Correspondence of the Louitville Courier.

Dalton, 6a. , July 30th, .1801.Editors Louisville Courier: Tbiukiug that

perhaps you and your readers might liketo hear something from this "far-of- f

land," in relation to the feeling that existsamong the "Seseshers" down South, I dropyou a few lines. Having been a constantrecipiant of your valuable "daily" for thepast two weeks, I am euabled to understandthe position you occupy on the great audmomentous questions that now agitate, notonly the American people, but the wholeworld. I say the whole world, because theeyes of all nations are turned towardsAmerica to see whether the last great testof constitutional liberty will be able towithstand the desperate cll'orts now beiugbrought to bear against it by the militarydespot now reigning over the people atWashington.

It is needless for me to go back and re-

iterate the causes that led to this difficultyiu our national aflairs. Sullicc it to saythat we are in the midst of great tribula-tion, and the only question now to be de-

cided is whether the people of the Southwill suffer themselves fo be subjugated bythat abominable tyrant, Abe Lincoln, orremain to be freemen, and enjoy life, liber-ty, and the pursuit of happiness, iu that waywhich suits their inclinatiou best.

In the solution of this question, no saneman could arrive at any other conclusionthan that a people who had been boru iree;who had always been tauuht the fullest useof liberty ,and freedom from every taintof su-

pers titioDjWitchcraft, and everyother ism; who had been t.ingbt fromchildhood to respect the rights of others,and assert their own, can never be con-quered.

I see, by the telegraphic reports of theAddition Congress, that Mr. Crittenden'"r aght iu aud supported a bill charging; present "civil war" upon the Southern- es, and that all the membirs1. ..i Kentucky iu the House, excepttaj bold and chivalrous Burnett,supported it. It may be true thatthe South struck the first blow,but she didnot provoke the quarrel. The North badmeuaced her for years, and had heaped upabuse upon calumny, uutil forbearanceceased to be a virtue with the South, andafter exhausting every peaceable means toobtain a separation, after having spentvears in trying to heal the dillereuces between the sections by compromises, anall to no purpose, she determined ta asserther rights by force ot arms, ana lor carry-ing out that resolution thev are sligmatizcd as traitors, rebels, aud every thing thatis mean and contemptible; and to cap theclimax.alter resorung to an these means tolive in peace with the North, and being refused ev-jr- equality in the Uniou, th'South determines to withdraw, aud beinrefused even that privilege, she is compelled to asert her independence bv thsword, she is accused of haviug brought onthe war.

1 had hoped long eicce that Kentucky,the noble old Commonwealth that gave mebirth, in whose borders and on whose nmsides I was wont to spend iny youthfuldays, would ere this have allied tierseit witnthe "bright and sunny South;" but, alas!the spoiler had inculcated too many of thevices and abominations ot his "craft" intothe shallow pates of men for thein to seethe right way. I am happy, however, tosee a gradual aud steady increase and growing strength in the Southern Rights partyin your State, and hope the day is not fardistant when your people will be as a unit,and go with the south.

This brings me back to the feeling here,I told you in the outeet that 1 should merly give you an idea of the state of the pub-li-

miDd hero. That is easily done. Dis-sensions are not known here. Every man.woman, and child seems to be actuated bythe same feeling, that of inveterate hatredto the "Yankee." Even the negroes abhorand detest the name. One grand niisialthe Northern people made when they commenced this war, was the idea of a rebellion among the negroes. They had allowedthemselves to believe that as soon as warwas declared, and the men went in thearmy, the negaoes would take advantage oftheir absence and murder the womeu, pillage the country, and hum the houses.

But in this they reckoned without theirhost, for there is not hall the trouble withthe negroes dow Ihat there was before thwar begun. The negro, if let alone, is do-

ing the will of his master, which is now thecase; while before the war, all sorts of"Yankee pedlers, ""Dutch music teachers,"Itinerant preacheis," "Abolitiou whang- -

doodles," aud mischief-maker- s generally,were allowed every tieedom and hospilality of the South, and took advantage ot circumstances to incite the negroes to do allkinds of devilment.

I have prolonged this letter far beyondwhat 1 intended at the start, but the themeis prolific, and cannot be exhausted. Inconclusion, let me assure you of one th'n

the South cau never be subjugated.Yours respectfully,

L. F.
