Review of Hews.Wilrai . oston is now in our possession. On

Wednesc lay last, the 22d, tha Federal forces

ocupied the place. The city was capturedby the 2 3d Corps, under Gen. Cox. General

Terry sc i closely pressed Gen. Holte on theeast aid. i of the river, after the capture of

Fort Ai jderson, that he was unable to send

troops i nto the city. There was but very

little f ighting. The rebels on evacuat'mg

Wilmii icton fired the cotton and resin and,

it is sa id, burned about 1,000 bales of cotton

and 15 ,000 barrels of resin. Our eaptures,includi iDg Fort Anderson, amount to about700 pr ieoners and 30 guns. Terry is still in

pursui t of Hoke. Military men regard thisas a i much mora important capture thanCharl. iston as a first-clas- s military tri-- .

urn ph. It gives Gen. Sherman a new base,

and h e can move forward without waiting

or turning back for supplies. Thus city af-

ter ci ty is falling rapidly into our possession.

The ( Jonfederacy is dwindling down to very

narro w proportions. Blockade-runnin- g andBritis h supplies are stopped. Gen. Scho- -

field c lelebrated Washington's birth day in a

bighl r commendable manner, and the ua-

tion t hanks him and his brave arruy for

their i treat victory. v

The present whereabouts of Geo. Sherman a re not exactly known. Rebel papers

indicat ;e that he advanced on Monday oflast wt lek, north from Greensboro, throughCheste: rfield, on the Wateree river, his cav

airy be ing in advance. It is believed by theauthori ties at Washington that he has cross-

ed ihe North Carolina line and is bv thistime ne ar Charlotte.

The Rebel Maj. Gen. Johnston has left

Fort W arren and gone to Fortress MoDroe,

where li e expects to be exchanged.' He is

nearly 1 jlind.

There is a movement on foot in New Yorkctiy for i t grand national holyday on the 4thof Marc h, to rejoice over the capture of

Chariest- Do, the hoisting of the flag over

Sumpter, , the taking of Wilmington, and allour reci int victories. It is hoped that theholyday will be generally concurred in

througbc mt the Union.J. G. 5eal, the Lake Erie pirate, was exe-

cuted on Governor's Island, Xew York, on

Friday, t he 24th inst.Brig. ( let). Meredith has been relieved of

the comn aand of Western Kentucky. Hissuccessor is unannounced. Col. McArthur,late com. mander of the post of Columbus,Ky., anil Capt. Moss, Provost Marshal,both aire Bted by Gen. Meredith, have beenreleased.

Recruiti og is going on very rapidly in sev-

eral of the States. In Ohio volunteering issaid to be a3 active and spirited as it waswhen the President issued his first procla

mation in 1861. Sherman's successes are aglorious incentive to volunteering.

Great d isatisfaction seems to exist in Lee's

army. Desertions are numerous. Three full

reeiments have come within the Federallines in three weeks. The Bull Run Moun

tains are said to be full of deserters on theirway to their homes.

The bill allowipg the soldiers of Indianato vote, passed thejLower House of the Leg-

islature of that State, on Friday lajt, by a

vote of 51 to 21. As usual with the law-an-

order-lovin- g Democracy, they bolted when

the bill was announced, but were unsuccess-

ful in destroying a quorum and the billpassed. The course the Copperheads stillpursue towards the Union soldiers is shameful in the extreme."The bill to arm the negroes of the Con

federacy, which was passed by the RebelHouse on the 20th instant, was indefinitelypostponed by the Senate, in secret session,on the following day.

It appears that Gen. Grant in effecting

t,he general exchange of prisoners, did notleave the ntgro soldier out ot the arrangement. A lot of negro prisoners, the first ex-

changed during the war, arrived at C'itv

Point on the 23d inst.

The Nashville Uniop says a letterhas just been received at the Xavy Department, from Sir William Armstrong, the well

known English gunmaker, in which he urges

the Government to imitate the example of

France and Russia, by manufacturing higuns. To this piece of scientific impertinence

Captain Wise, of the Ordinance Department- has written caustic reply, in which he tell

Sir William that the Armstrong guns cap

tured at IfVrt Fisher afford us the means o

tesliug their supposed efficiency. Upon these

guns was found an inscription, setting forth

that they were a present from Sir WilliamArmstrong to Jeff. Davis.

Kentucky Politics.

oosTiNuire.J

Governor Bramlette wanted a lot of Statetroops which should be nnder his orders.General Burbridge opposed that and wanted allthe troops in the State under his command."

Let us examine the facts iu regard to the

State troops alluded to by "Kentucky Con

tributor" in the above extract from his article.

Under the Act of Congress, approved Feb.

7, 1863, there was authorized to be raised in

Kentucky, under the direction of the Presi-

dent, twenty thousand troops, "to serve with-

in the limits of Kentucky, to repel invasion,

suppress insurrection, and guard and protectpublic property."

Under the direction of the President,and pursuant to said Act, a number of Reg-

iments were raised, deemed sufficient for the

objects contemplated. On the 23d Decem

ber, 1863, Maj. Gen. Foster, then in com-

mand of the Department, sent back fromKnoxville, Tennessee, an order to BrigadierGen. Boyle, then commanding the Districtof Kentucky, directing "all the organized

forces in Kentucky" to be immediately sentto Knoxville. This order included all rais-

ed "to serve within the limits of Kentucky,"&c, and would have left the State and allthe line of defences wholly unprotected'Governor Bramlette telegraphed to GeneralFoster to the President to the Secretaryof War, and to Gen. Grant, to have this or-

der modified, so as to retain the forces rais-

ed "to serve within the limitsof Kentucky."He also laid the subject before the Legisla.ture, then in session, by special message,urging provision to meet the ".emergency.The Legislature promptly responded, by authorizing five thousand troops for State de-

fense, and providing for borrowing fivt mill-

ions of dollars to meet the expenses.

The Governor succeeded, through General

Grant, in having all the troops raised to servewithin the State retained. He did not, there-

fore, either desire or attempt to raise anyunder the law which was enacted to meet anemergency against which he had succeededin making other provisions.

Gen. Grant was transferred to the Poto-

mac, and made Lieutenant General, andGen. Sherman appointed to succeed him in

command. In making the necessary prep-

arations for the grand campaign soon there-

after prosecuted by Gen. Sherman, it becamenecessary for him to take the 14th Kentuckyfrom the Eastern part of the State, and sometwo or three Regiments which hsd beenguarding Western and Southern Kentucky.Still believing that Gen. Burbridge, who in

the meantime had succeeded Gen. Boyle, hadsufficient forces for defense, if propsrly dis-

persed, Governor Bramlette neither attempt-ed nor desired to-- raise any of the troops pro-

vided for by the Legislature. But after Morgan's raids in June last, the necessity of rais- -

ng a portion ot them, to supply the placeof those withdrawn by Gen. Sherman, be"

came apparent. The Governor proposed toraise three Battalions one for Eastern, onefor Western Kentucky, and one for CapitalGuards. In conversation with Gen. Burbridge, the General suggested that the authorities at Washington were opposed to theraising of State troops. Believing that theobjection was not at Washington, but elsewhere, the Governor sent the Adjutant General of the State to see the President andSecretary of War upon the subject. Theorganization of those three Battalions, asproposed by the Governor, was cordially approved by the President and Secretary ofWar, and, in fact, the whole Cabinet, as we

are advised. .

Gen. Lindsey, at the request of the Secretary of War, submitted the proposition inwriting, which was endorsed and approvedby the Secretary of War, and also, was endorsed and approved by Gen. Burbridge up.on the return of Gen. Lindsey to Kentucky;and the document, so endorsed and approved, filed in the office of Gen. Burbridge, athis military headquarters, as the authorityfor issuing the Quarter Master and Commissary btores pursuant to said document.These forces were partly raised, but neverfully completed until Gen. Burbridge beganhis efforts to break up and disband themThese are the forces which guarded and protected the roads during the Saltville expedition, and have done so much to arrest andpunish guerrillas.

The Battalion in Western Kentucky wasplaced under command of the General of

that District, and first enabled the ProvostMarshals to serve their notices in some ofthe counties of that District. These are thefacts.

Oov. Jiramlette s action was in conformity with the law of the State, and with theapproval of the President and Secretary oWar, and of Gen. Burbridge himself. TheSecretary of War and Gen. Burbridge having given their written approval before theGovernor took any action towards raisingtroops.

If Gen. Burbridge differed with the Governor upon this matter, he also differedwith the President the Secretary of Warand himself.

Gov. Bramlette a action is sustained bvthe Act of the Legislature of Kentuckyby the necessities of the occasion by theaporoval of the President and Secretary ofWar, and by Gen. Burbridge's written ap-

proval given before he proceeded to raise thetroops.

Recently, when the Veterans were beingmustered out, who had served so nobly forthree years and more, and appealed to theGovernor to permit them to organize for

and defense of the State inclearing the State of guerrillas the Gov-

ernor, in response to their reasonable andjust demand, gave authority to Euch as ask- -

I ed, and to Col. Marion C. Taylor, to organ

ize a Regiment of those brave man, for thepurpose of ridding the State of guerrillasand protecting themselves from being mur-

dered. Gen. Burbridge issued au Order, No.

5, forbidding this and by order from theWar Department, issued General Order,No. 6, revoking No. 5. Here again theGovernor was sustained by the

Governor Bramlette had the sanction ofthe Administration in raising the troops

which Gen. Burbridge first assumed to dis-

band. And Orders No. 5 and No. 6 tell how

they next stand.The Administration, for sufficient reasons,

has thought proper to send Maj. Gen. JohnM. Palmer to take command ot the De

partment of Kentucky a man distinguished for his ability, as a civilian and a soldier

eminently qualified highly endowedand most warmly greeted upon his arrivalin Kentucky.

Now we ask, in all frankness ftnd candorof "Kentucky Contributor" and we know

him to be a frank and clever gentlemanwith

'

this plain statement of facts beforehim why find fault with the Administration? Why find fault with Governor Bram-

lette? Why attempt to widen the breachbetween the loyal and g people of

Kentucky? Is it not the part of wisdomand prudence to try and harmonize all of

the Union element in Kentucky in the sup-

port of the Administration in its efforts toquell the rebellion and restore peace to ourdistracted country? We think so, and henceour humble efforts to accomplish this greatobject. In the language of Mir. SecretaryStanton to the Committee of our Legisla

ture, we do not believe this can be donewithout a concurrence of the Federal and

State authorities "

JBSGen. Forrest, of Fort Pillow memory,seems inclined now to repent of his formerevil deeds, and to sever his connection withhis old comrades. In so doing he calls them,by an order issued on the 24i:h of January,to turn from the error of their ways andgive up their robbing and murdering practices, or they shall suffer "swift death." Hesays "the rights and property of ,the citizensmust be respected and protected, and illegalorganizations of cavalry, prowling throughthe country under various authorities, notrecognized as legitimate and which havebeen by proper authorities revoked, must beplaced regularly and properly in service ordriven from the country." Forrest has command of the Cavalry Department of Ala-

bama, Mississippi, East Virginia and West

Tennessee, and if he faithfully and energet-ically carry his order into execution, the loy-

al men of those States wilf aoon be freedfrom the merciless persecution from whichthey have so long and so terribly suffered.And if the old adage, "Set ;x thief to catcha thief," be wise, Forrest is just the man tohunt down guerrillas to the death.

It seems our State is also to be favored in

the same way by the Confederate authoritiesOn Wednesday of last week, Colonel R. J.Breckinridge, of the Confederacy, was cap-

tured near Midway, Ky., by Capt. Macy, of

Woodford county. He had an order from

J. C. Breckinridge, Rebel Secretary of War,to come to this State and order out of theState all Confederate officers and soldiers

upon the penalty, in case of refusal, of being

handed over to the Federal Government to be

treated as guerrillas. So it seems the Confed-

eracy approves of the treatment which hasbeen partially used towards guerrillas by our

authorities, and will withdraw its protectionfrom all who are committing their outrages in

Kentucky. It places them beyond the reach of

exchange, and brands them as they are asoutlaws, to be put to death wherever found.

This is right. This system of brigandagenow carried on must be stopped ourpeople must be delivered from, and se-

cured' against this cruel evil, and the onlyremedy is to root it out, mercilessly andvigorously. As the signs now are, the dayof guerrillas has nearly run its course.

The Peace Conference. The Worl d hasthe following :

"We apprehend thai! the simple word ofGeneral Grant, declaring that the rebelscame seeking peace and Union, will far out-weigh all the notes and nice diplomatizingof Messrs. Lincoln and Seward, an 1 all theemphatic assertions of the court journals,when they assert, as the Times asserts, thatthe confederates have never had a thought ofpeace except on the bams of independence.

Like all the rest of mankind the World,says the N. Y. Times, has a strong inclina-tion to believe what it wishes to be true Itmade up its mind, or it had a purpose toserve in assuming, that in sending PeaceCommissioners, the rebel authorities soughtpeace and that if they failed to get it theirfailure must be due to our Government. Butthe World certainly has no real interest in

shutting its eyes to the facts in this matter.If it will cot take the testimony ol Messrs.Lincoln and Seward in regard to the motivesof the rebels in sending these Commission-ers, perhaps it will take that of the rebelauthorities themselves. Their Secretary ofState, J. P. Benjamin, in his speech at Rich-

mond the other day, said : "Our Commieionere sent to confer with the enemy, wentwith a piece of blank paper filled with one

word written by our President, "independence.That testimony is reasonably explicit. Itoutweighs, unless we are greatly mistakenaccording to all the rules of evidence, theopinion expressed by General Grant that thecommissioners desired "peace and UnioDThe commissioners themselves certainly expressed no such desire, and the Presidentfrom whom they derived all their authority, explicitly prohibited tbem from proposing or acceptiug any such terms. His in

structions were simple, but explicit "independence."

Canadian Alien Bill.The eyes of the Canadians have been

opened to the dangers which threaten theirpeace, by the raid into St. Albans and theconsequent trials of the raiders, and by theplots which have been formed by Confeder-

ate agents in Canada for the destruction ofour border cities. They see that they mustbe held responsible for such lawless actsthat they constitute a just cause of war.They have hence come to a true sense oftheir international obligations. The AlienLaw has been adopted by the CanadianParliament, by the large vote of one hun-

dred and four yeas, to four nays. The fol-

lowing abstract of the bill is given by theIndianapolis Gazette: The bill is verystringent in its provisions, and, if faithfullyobserved, will remove all cause of complainton our side. The Governor General is granted large discretionary powers. He may, up-

on information of citizens, order any alien,by any proclamation published in the Cana

da Gazette, to depart from the province im-

mediately. If the party thus notified re

fuses to go, he may be arrested by the Gov

ernor or any magistrate, and committed tojail until he can be sent out of Canada. Hewill be likewise guilty of a misdemeanor,

and be liable to imprisonment of onemonth for a first offense, and twelve monthsfor a second offense. "If he is arrested afterthe close of navigation, he may be impris-

oned for a month after the navigation in thespring. The party accused may have thebenefit of a trial in a summary way before

the Governor, and show the reasons whichhe has to urge against the proceedings menaced against him." He may also be admitted to bail, and is subject to the order of thejudges as to imprisonment and discharge.

Persons preparing, assisting, procuring, or

aiding by money, any expedition against aforeign State are to be considered guilty of amisdemeanor, and are to be punished by a

fine not exceeding three thousand dollars,and imprisonment not exceeding three yearsAny justice of the peace, on a written re

quest from the attorneys or solicitors geuer- -

al, or country attorney in Upper Canada, and

any recorder, police magistrate or justice of

sessions, without any request, may seize anyvessel manifestly built and fitted for warlikepurposes, or carrying arms and munitions as

cargo, or when other circumstances render it

probable that such vessel is intended to com-

mit hostilities on the people of any foreignState. Moreover, sheriffs, collectors of cus

toms, and various other legal and militia officers, are enjoined to seize vessels ai. armsabout to pass the frontier if it is supposedthat such vessels or arms are intended forcarrying on military expeditiors against anyforeign State at peace with Great Britain.After seizure of such property, report is tobe made to a Judge, and the ownership andactual use to which it was to be put, may beexamined into.

Bssy the Cincinnati (Jazette announcingthe refusal of the Kentucky Legislature toratify the Constitutional Amendment, says"The people will pass upon it in the Augusteleclion, but from the way in which thPresident is throwing cold water upon thUnion men, success is doubtful. If we losthe election Mr. Lincoln will be responsible.The above is a slander on Mr. Lincoln anthe Uuion men of Kentucky. The President has only done one thing to which'portion of the Union men of the State object, and that is the removal of Gen. Burbridge, and Jhe has done this because it haseemed to him wise and prudent to senGen. Palmer here to eommand this Department. I hat he is throwing cold water uponthe Union men is all nonsense. ' Nor willthe Union men forsake him. It is a baseslander upon tbem to say that because a General whom they mya favor is superseded theywill give up the cause of the Union thattheir patriotism, their loyalty hangs uponthe treatment of a single man. Gen. Burbridge is removed, therefore the Union menwill oppose the Constitutional Amendmentthough they have deemed it necessary t

the salvation of the country. It is false. Ifany man does it, it will be because he is not

now nor ever has been a loyal man be

cause his Unionism has been no more thanpocket deep, and he has advocated his country's cause, not for his country's sake, butfrom mere personal interest. The-tru- pat

riot will stand to his country and all thatmust be done for its welfare, though every

mere personal wish and plan be thwarted.

He that would do less is a traitor.

The work of shipping the Atlantictelegraph cable was commenced at Green

wich on the 19th. The manufactory is atthe borough, which is, as most of our read

ers know, a suburb of London. The cable is

2,700 miles in length 'its weight is 5,000

tons. It is being shipped in pieces of two

miles in length, on board a hulk which will

convev it to the Great Eastern, now anchored in the Medway. On board of that shi

these pieces will be united and coiled i

tanks. It is expected that all will be accomplisbed by the end of May, when advanta;

will be taken of the first fine weather to lay

the cable from Valentia, in Ireland, to BullBay, in Newfoundland. The promoters of

this great enterprise express great confidence

in the success of the new cable, and say they

have profited greatly by the failure of thold, which is more than the former shareholders did

Order of Majt Gen. Palmer.The following hiehly important and inter

esting order has just been issued from Headquarters.HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT )

Of Kentucky, Louisvillb, Ky.,' February 25, 1S65. J i

ENERAL OkDEUS )

No. 4. J

Reliable evidence has reached these Headquarters that emissaries of the rebel Government are engaged in recruiting for theirexhausted armies in the State ot Kentucky.Appeals are again made to the young men ofthe state to disregard their duty and risktheir lives and honor in a wrecked and desperate cause, while men who have desertedthe rebel service and are now peaceably attheir homes are required to rejoin their commands, again encounter the perils of treason

nder the threatened penally of betrayalto the Federal authorities, who, they aretaught to believe, will treat tbem as outlawsand guerrillas.

to counteract these efforts to mislead themen who have, in good faith, deserted therebel service, all deserters from the rebel armies, now in this Department, will, withinthirty days from date, report themselves tothe Provost Marshal of the county in whichthey reside for registry. And all personswho may hereafter desert from the rebel ar-mies and come into this Department will,within five days after their arrival, reportthemselves for the same purpose.

JrrovoBt Marshals will receive the reportof all persons presenting themselves underthis order, will register the Dame. aee. residence, and the particular military organiza-tion from which they have deserted. Suchregistry will be regarded by the military authorities ot thra Department as a distinctrenunciation of all further connection withbe rebel Government and as entitling the

registered person, who demeans himself as apeaceable citizen, to military protection.

persons who refuse to present themselvesfor registry as required by this order will beunderstood as adhering to the rebel Govern-ment, and, if captured, will be treated asspies, guerrillas, or otherwise, according tothe circumstances of the case.
