A special dispatch to the "Wheeling (A'a..) Intelligencer, from Cumberland, under date of Tih. says a detachment of Gen. Kelly's forces corcmniuled by Col. Dunning of the 5th Ohio, left Eomney last night tit 12 o'clock, and attacked the rebels 2.000 strong at Blue. Cap, east of Ixomney. at daylight to-day.— The rebels were- completely routed, with a loss of filteen killed, two pieces of cannon, their wagons, tents, Sec'., and twenty pv'toners, including one commissioned officer. Our loss none.

It is rumored here this afternoon that the rebels are in full retreat from Hancock.

The democratic convent ioii" which met at Indianapolis yesterday, during the absence of the committee on resolutions. was addressed by John G. Davis of Uockville, in an ultra, out-and-out secession speech. Resolutions were passed declaring, amongst other things, "that the restoration to power cf the democracy, alone can preserve the Union,"' Ac. At 5 o'clock, time of adjournment, no nominations had been made. They meet again this morning at S o'clock.

The Ms-xScan Expctliison, The Cincinnati Gazette's special dispatches from Washington, under date of -1th iust., says, "information from official sources (not received by the Government) renders it almost certain that the Englbh part of the aliied expedition will soon occupy Matamoviif. if indeed it has not already done so, for the purpose of opening an illicit trade, via Brownsville,-witl: the rebels. It is even believed in well informed quarters, thrt England joined France and Spain for the especial purpose of importing contrabands, and exporting cotton into and from ilie South. Far-seeing men discern herein a speck of war. more ominous than the seizure of Mason and Slide !.''

LETTER. FROM fiK. T. W. FiiY.

Paducau, Ivy.,

Dec. 20, lBfil.

Ed. JorRNAL: Sinco my last nothing of import

ance has transpirud in this branch of the great ar

my of C00,000. We arc all with one accord remaining still: a porfect.calm reigns from the mouth

of the Potomac to the base of tho llocky Moun

tain?. Whether it is the lull that precedes the

mighty storm is yet to be seen. Jt may be that

our rulers and commanding generals are wise in

their policy that it is best to move slowly or not

move at nil at present. There may be motives and policy governing them of which we have no knowl

edge. But when the rebels are still fortifying, still

making more formidable every stronghold in their possession, wo confess our inability to appreciate

the policy which now seems to govern tho move

ments of the army. Tho great extcut of the bat

tle-ground in this unhappy war, tho vast number

of troops, the many divisions, the numerous points to be assailed and defended. dcm»nd a very high

order of military talent to conduct the campaign

with vi'»or and success. We can only hope that

all will yet be well.

Last night Gen. Wallace went out on an expedi

tion with several hundred cavalry towards Camp

Beauregard. My impression is he hopes to tome

in contact with the notorious Clay King, whose

band of robbers is a terror to the people wherever

ho goes. Tt was thought at one time that Gen. Pil

low liud ,i i, to be shot, but such is not the

fact, lie is in full fellowship with the command

ers of the rebel army, and they seem to approve

the lawless and brutal acts that, have characteriz

ed his course. Should Gen. Wallace meet him, a

severe skirmish will ensue, erKiug will retreat. Monday 'norning.—No news from the expedition

under Gen. A\ al'ace as yet. At this moment Cnpt.

Wallace at Viola last night. The 1 I tli Indiana,

have gone to his assistance. The troops are al- P&

sent word to ihe authorities at Columbus that il

Owen v.-as hung the life of Wool folk should pay the

penalty. He has a brother and two brothers-in-

law at Columbus. I saw the father of Owen this

mortiing. who says he thinks his son has not been hung, and that he will be returned as soon as it is

known that Woolfolk is in prison. He lias also

taken prisoner one of his son's captors, who is in prison at this place.

vigorous measures will be necessary to crush this rebellion. To win ihe leader? back is impossible,

and to get intelligence of tin real designs of government to the rank and file can never be done.—

Ihe officers stand as a wall of adamant around the

common people, which suffers no light to enter their

minds, while theirown papers fill them with false

hoods as artful and devilish as that with whi'di the serpent beguiled Eve to the fatal transgression.—

The cloud of ignorance which rested like a pale o^

darkness over the dark ages, was bright compared

with that which now broods over'he masses of the

South. Such an instance oT maddened folly and blind, frenzied zeal was never before witnessed on

course pursued by Mr. Lincoln and most of the orders of the various commanders of the army. The

*kirts of the general government are still elcar,

but they are afraid that somcthingyct may be done

—the abolitionists may yet get power and carry out their measures. While looking at the fines which

Gen. Ilalleek imposed on certain secessionists of

St. Louis for the maintenance of tho Missouri rcf-

uirees, they lose sight of the gnat thefts, the horrid murders, and crushing tyranny which have been

practiced by the rebels. They look at the slight

violations of law on ihe part of Federal General.-*,

while the flagrant and high-handed rebellious acts

of rebels seem to be forgotten. Why this strange perversion of mind? Why this political blind

ness? 'Tis the result of the long and vicious teach

ings of Southern monarchists, which /ire now cul

minating in rebellion.

You and your readers, Mr. Editor, will remem

ber that at the first Union meeting held in Modelland's Hall last spring, I remarked that the Presi

dent ought (o have called out 200,000 men instead

of 75,000: that an army of 100,000 should be sent

from Washington to Ttichniond, ar.d r-nother of 100.000 down the Mississippi. Had this been done

the rebellion would hivvo been crushed. Most of

those who heard me thought that wanted a long

purse for such an army, and that I was wild and

severe. can only say that the friend- of the government do not even now realize the gigantic pro

portions of this rebellion. They know not the fa

natical real which fires the Southern heart: they

know not the intense hatred of cotton planters to

Republican institutions they havo failed to comprehend that this is a mighty struggle between free

dom and slavery-—not the negro slavery of the

South, but the slavery of the millions of white men

who now people ibid continent. 'Tis a war whose

results will cither guarantee to the dwellers on this

broad land the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or plant the heel of

a bloody tyrant on the yielding necks of a cowed

and conquered people. The influence of all pre

ceding wars pale to insignificance before themighty

issues involved in this American struggle. England longs to see us divided the fires of revenge

still burns in her heart: sho dreads the rapid pro

gress of our greatness, and would gladly stay our onward march, but this sho can never do. I know

not how itis with others, but my faith grows strong

er with every passing day. Every power of our

government will be strained to its utmost tension, but 'tis the ark of freedom and will moveon. Mon

arch}*, slavery, oligarchy, Southern rebellion and

Southern hypocrisy may unite their powers to stay or to crush it, but al! in vain. That ark of the

covenant will more on, fcr God Himself has inspir

The following extract is from a letter written by

an officer on board the U. S. Steamer Kichmoml

after the bombardment of F'.rt Pickens:

I went by invitation of Lieutenant of tho engineers, to visit, the fort. Took a circuit first of the covered way, then of tho parapets and ramparts. All amund tho fort, insido and out, were marks of the enemy's shot and shell. On the glacis, here and there, n.ro deep grooves, ending in a large hole, where the shot had plumped into it, and where there had been shells which had burst. Tho hole was a great excavation, into which you could drive an ox cart. Where the projectiles hnvo struck the standing walls thev have chipped off patches of the brick work, (it is a. brick and not a stone fort) perhaps eight or ten inches deep and where they have struck the corners largeer portions have been removed, but in no ease has any part of the fortifications received an injury tending in the least to weaken it, and this after two days' heavy tiring. The only man killed outright, during (ho two days' action, was an artilleryman, who was passing into tho casemates with some bread from the bakehouse. A shell exploded at the other side of the arena, and one piece, flvin" a distance of some two or three bundred foot, passed through his body, under his arms, lie walked a few steps and dropped dead. There wore many almost miraculous escapes. A shell was heard coming towards a gun on the parang and the men dodged under their '"ntih-proofs.* The shell hit. fairly on tc-

bomb-proof, went through,

and dipped into a pail of water beside the officer, where it exploded. When the men ca me out again to resume their work, all they saw of their officer was his heels, slicking out of a pile of rubbish.— After digging him out they stood amazed to see that ho was not even hurt, lie rose up, shook the sand from his hair, and clothes, and coolly said: "Com", Come! what are you standing there gaping at l.-o.id that gun there.'' At it they went again, as if nothing hud happened. Another flieer"who had charge of a. battery of mortars, had no less than seventeen shells strike within ten yards of him. ...

Judge Ilearne, one of the counsel for Col. KerrigaB, emphatically contradicted tho report that evidence had been elicited establishing without a doubt the charge of having given information to tho enemy. The evidence for tho prosecution has not yet been closed.

An error in yesterday's dispatches, relative to the proposed military expedition from Fort Leavenworth, makes it appear that Gen. Lane is to hold a subordinate position, when the reverse is the case. Tho expedition will be second to none, if equalled by any in numbers, character and purpose, and is to be under the sole and exclusivo control of Gen. Lane, who proposes to demonstrate with his western crusaders tha ways and means through which the rebellion may be crushed and tho republic restored to its integrity. In carrying out this purpose, Gen. Lano is supported by the active energies of the Administration in the various Departments.

Sloan's medicines are getting more popular than over. Whether if is owing t: his honorable way of doing business, or whether it is owing to tho knowledge displayed in the compounding of the mediciass, one thing is certain, bis crr.dit is5 above r. proaeh, a-ad his medicines are without. rival for tho purposes for whi"h they aro reeeomended.—Keno*ha Til'jrjh, 17*. dc-cio

Th« rditor of tho Cincinnati Iui!v Timrs, of March 21, lS'il, says: The Scandinavian .Remedies appear to bp growing in favor with ihe public, if we may judge by the testimonials constantly received bv Ihe proprietor. A letter from Wisconsin, to be found in our advertising columns, announces that among the physicians of that locality it is becoming very popular, and what is very unusual, is being adopt ed by them in their practiec, ns r. cure for many, diseases which they cannot treat, cifeotually inaiiy other way. We understand that the immense trade carried on for several years in these medicines has. during the present year nearly doubled. Their process of operation is by a. thorough purifh-alion of the Mood, and a consequent eradication of disease. Read the letter. Hoc 20

lie bounty of the Government, dispensed to Ihe volunteers in this form, would fail to realize to them the advantages intended. All the best lands would fall into the hands ofthe speculators, who would be enabled to purchase them at a nominal pricc and sell them to the settlers at full prices as fast as emigration (o the West would require them for settlement. If additional compensation to tho volunteers, beyond the amount now authorized by law, shall be deemed just and proper, il will be better both for the Government. and ihe volunteers to make such compensation by a direct appropriation of money, or ofthe Government securities. This wot:Id give them the full ben ilk of the appropriations made, while the Government would, by keeping the lands until they shall be demanded for settlement, realize their full value.
