LOUISVILLE OCCUPIED EY TEE
FEDERALS.
There is no longer a doubt that Louisville
was occupied by federal troops on the 16lh,
to the number of five thousand.
The Louisville Courier- of the 15th says:
‘‘A steamboat loaded with cannon, muskets
and men. lauded at our wharf at the foot of
Third street last evening. It was from Cin
c:nnati. and is the flag boat of an extensive
fleet of .-learners and barges. Some ten other
steamers, each towing ten barges, are in the
river above, and will reach here in a few
hours. The expedition was pm chasing chain
cable and anchors in this city yesterday, and
all things combined seem to Indicate the ma
king of a bridge across the Ohio or Mississip
pi as formidable as that on which Xerxes con
templated his marvelous deeds. Some of the
boats are loaded*with rnen, some with can
non. and some with chain cable. In addition
to those barges, some thirty or forty barges
went through the canal yesterday, so that the
whole of the ba'ges most number 150—quite
enough to bridge the Ohio, or to be sunk in
the Mississippi.
It should be remembered that for months
past a strong Lincoln force has been encamp
ed near Louisville, ready to be thrown into it
at a moments notice We give the following
additional item from the Courier of the 16th:
INVASION FROM OHIO—EIGHT -TE AM
BOATS AND ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY BARGES CHARTERED.
Welearnbv passengeisfrom Cincinnati that
tlie Lincolnites at that point are secretly
planning an expedition, but for what purpose
we could not ascertain. They had chartered
eight steamboats, and some one hundred and
fifty coal barges and floats, which would make
excellent transports in tow of the boats to
move troops, horses, and munitions across the
river to occupy Kentucky. For no other pur
pose could a fleet of such materials be used.
This fact should be apparent to ail true uu
bought Kentuckians, that the great object of
the North, particularly of Ohio, is to trans
fer the war and the danger of invasion from
her borders to Kentucky. The incendiary
call ef both the Lincoln organs in this city
for troops from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to
come into Kentucky, is evidence of a precon
certed move to have the State overrun by the
Northern invaders, under the lying pretense
of driving back the troops from Tennessee.—
Are not these traitors aware of'the fact that
the great mass of the people of Southern Ken
tucky are opposed to the Not them invasion
and that they will resist it.
--
Letter from Prisoner Karri*.
It will be remembered that a Mr. Harris
who set out from Washington in company
with a Mr. McGraw to obtain the remains of
Col. Cameron after the battle of Manassas
Plains, was arrested by order of Gen. Beau
regard because they sought to invade the or
dinary usages of civilized warfare, which had
not been resen ted to by the Lincoln Govern
ment, for fear of impliedly recognizing the
Confederate States as a belligerent power.
The New’ York News oljtbe 27th ult., quotes
from a letter from Mr. Harris, now in confine
ment in Richmond, to a friend in that city.
He says:
I wish that you had been with me in that
trip over the battle field, two days after the
fight. Rather I wish that those men in the
North who have sent forth armies to invade
the South could have witnessed the awful
scene. For miles before we reached the scene
of combat, dead bodies, lay scattered on each
side of the road; sometimes singly, then three,
or four, or five together. I saw two powerful
Zouaves in their full uniform, their corpse
swollen with putrefaction to the size of Fal
staff, and blacker than Othello. Close by them
lay a fine looking young officer—almost a boy;
! just breathing his last. He had lain there
where he fell, without help or succor for two
days of fortune. The Southerners buried their
dead first, but in the meantime, and before a
aeau uouy Weis tuuiumtcu u«-io rruinj.
mg parties were sent everywhere through the
woods, and for miles about, hunting for th
wounded of both armies. They behaved with
the utmost kindness toward the Federal troops,
and the shameful stones of barbarities com
mitted are ail false. The slaughter must have
been immense. I passed through one small
field where four bundled Northern men were
buried that day, and the burying party was
still at work bv moonlight
We were confined twenty-four hours in the
same place with thirty-nine Federal officers—
among them Col. Cocoi an. 1 here is no chance
for their regaining their freedom til' the Gov
ernment at Washington comes to its senses,
and recognizes the Southern Confederacy as a
belligerent, as it has certainly proved itself to
be—and a very pugnacious one at that!
pne of the officers said to roe he was tired
of fighting for a Government that gave biin
three chances for death, viz : to be killed in
action—io be left to die if wounded—or to be
hung in retaliation, if captured; while the on
ly chance for life was to run away from the
battle-field. 1 do not doubt these officers will
be hung if any hanging happens to the priva
teersmen of the Savannah and other prisoners
in the hands of Mr. Lincoln. Will the Pre
sident stickle longer upon the miserable dodge
that the Confederacy is not belligerent? Will
the comrades and relatives of the poor fellows
hi re in captivity tolerate this folly?
We a.-e weP treated. Beverly Tucker is at
kind as a hi other. We have nothing to com
plain of—have a room to ourselves in the jail
a ad are hoarded by the keeper. Nothing
wanting but our liberty.

Kentucky.—Yesterday about 12 o’clock the
repose ofthe Confederate camp at this place
was disturbed by the appearance of two Fed
eral war steamers’ supposed to be the A. O.
Tylor and Conestoga, just rounding at the
point of (he Island. The were totally unex- !
pected by the soldiery in the encampments, I
j who weie consequently thrown into consider
able confusion for some time, which, however,
; was speedily overcome by the efficiency of
their officers, and in aii amazing short time
the whole force was foi med into line of battle.
About the time the Federal steamers reached
the mouih of Obion river—» distance of about
four miles—the Confederate steamefk‘“Yan
kee” with her thirty-two pounders, opened fire
upon them, which was immediately answered
by the A. O. Tyior from hei -ide pieces. The
Conestoga, by this time, advanced into line
with theTyloi. and both ope od u pretty brisk
fire upon the Yankee, which responded with
admirable shots, retiring in the meantime, tie
low the range of Capt. Jackson's battery on
I the banks, which now opened a magnificent j
discharge from their different points.
The firing was kept up pretty briskly for
about twenty minutes, amid the wildest enthu
siasm of the soldiers and citizens. Every shot«
from our batteries was cheered by one long
shout from one end of the line to the other.
A large number of our ladies were upon.the
hill viewing the engagement, and greeted the
Southern beys by waving their handkerchiefs,
and other kindly demonstrations. The expert
firing of the Y alike* was the wonder and ad
miration uf all. All our guns were said to
have been excellently managed, while that of
the enemy were derided by our engineers and
apparent to everybody. Some of our shots
were observed to strike a very short distance
1 in front of the Tylor. and others to pass be
tween the two steamers. A shell thrown jjrjyn
Jackson's battery went clear over the Tylor.
It w-as doubtless owing to these last hot
shots that caused the enemy to turn back, and
at pretty good speed to retreat fiorn out the
range of our guns. As they were turning the
point on their retreat, a company of cnvalsy,
sent forward by Gen Cheatham, fired into
them with Maynard rifles, but it is not known
whether with any effect or not. None of the

retreat they were fired into all along the river
by the cavalry and outraged citizens. The

and citizens. All W'M-e enthusiastically eager
for the fray.
After the engagement Gen. Cheatham pars
ed down aleng the line and was greeted with
the wildest cheer-' by the whole force. The
soldiers here idolize Gen. Cheatham. Dur

of their love by his superior management.—

The Last and the Best.—The Rocking
ham Register gets off the following incident
of Manassas :
Capt. Bowman, Commissary of the 10th re
giment, gives us an amusing incident that
came under his notice at the battle of Manas
sas. Passing from liis regiment to the ord
nance wagon, in the midst of the retreat of
• lie enemy, he met a wounded Louisianian,
who had in the excitement of the moment for
gotten his severe wound, and had raised him
self up by a.bush and stood upon one leg.
watching with overflowing joy the flight of
the Hessians. Bowman was attracted to him
by the extravagance of his demonstrations of
delight. -‘God Almighty!” said the wounded
man. "see how the}- run! Did you ever see
such running?” Seeing that he was badly
crippled, Bowman asked hun what was the
matter. "My leg’s broke, but I don’t care a
d—i 1 My God see how they run!” all the
while clapping his hands as if he had never
before in his life been so happy.

Alien Enemies.—The Cleveland (Tenn.)
Banner, says :
We learn that Judge Humphreys construes
the alien law passed by the Confederate Con j
gress a little different fiom what some of our
people do. He says that a inan must owe al

Confederacy, that it is presumed that he owes
allegiance to another country, and therefore,
he is an aden enemy, and comes within pui
view of tile law respecting alien enemies. It
is time, we think, for men to quit sweating
that they will never submit to or a knowl
edge the laws of the Confederate States, un
less they want to legislate themselves out
of bouse and home.

(Kg"The Richmond Examiner commenting
the i vet that the British ship Alliance had
run tha blockade into Beaufort, N. C., says:
The captain of the Alliance is expected to
reach Ruhrnont to-day Her cargo will be
offered for sale to. the Government. From
what we can leatn of it, it is of the most val

The Nashville Banner states that in
formation has been officially received in that
city, that within a few days past a vessel un
de.! British register arrived at New Orleans
with an assorted cargo, having successfully
run the blockade. A portion of her cargo
consisted of 2,000 muskets and 125 rifles,
which our brave soldiers will turn to good
account against the enemy.

issued to the police to destroy any similar
