Richmond, Va., Oct. 13th.—The Senate, to-day,
passed the House bill authorizing the President
to suspend the writ of Habeas Corpus in certain
cases; as, also, the House bill extending the term
of office of certain war tax collectors; and the
House bill authorizing the President to appoint
20 general officers in the Provincial Army, and
to assign them to such appropriate duties as he
may deem expedient, with an amendment.
The motion to take up the motiou to reconsider
the vote by which the House bill increasing the
soldiers’ pay has passed, was negatived.
The bill fixing the seal of the Confederate States
was referred to a Committee of Conference, who
reported that they were unable to agree.
A message trom the Presidcut was received,
announcing his disapproval of the bill for the res
lief of the Confederate Bible Society, on the
ground that Congress has no power to bestow or
divert any portion of the sequestration fund—the
faith of the Government being pledged that it
shall be used to indemnity loyal citizens for losses
sustained by the Confiscation act, Ac. The vote
was again taken, and the bill was rejected; as
was, also, the amendment of the House to the bill
awarding medals or badges to soldiers, for gaU
lant or meritorious services.
Iu the House, nothing of special interest wa»
done, except the passage of the two bills above
mentioned.

commands of Gens. Van Dorn, Lovell and Price
have rendezvoused, their miccess in bringing rff
their baggage trains, and the rapidity with which
reinforcements are being seDt forward, and other
important points garrisoned, should cause a bus
pension of the fears to generally indulged in dur»
ing the past few days.
It is useless to attempt to disguise the fact that
a general fright prevailed, originating from ig
norance of the true state of affairs; and we cannot
but condemn the official reticence that permits ru
mor, with her thousand longues, to scatter broad
cast all of the gloomy statements and predictions
that can be imagined, when a simple announce
ment of the facts would at once relieve public
suspense, and enable the people to determine the
situation and prepare for any exigency.
We have reliable information as to the situation
of ibe army recently engaged at Corinth, as late
as last evening. It has been concentrated at Holly
Springs in a much more admirable n.uouer than
the exaggerated stories previously afloat had led
us to expect would be possible ; and to-dav, with
the reinforcements it has received, is stronger
than before. The points it was compelled to watch
have also been decreased, by a division of labor
with additional troops thrown forward, and each
particular division, though strong of itself, occu
pies positions from which the whole can be massed
whenever and wherever the enemy may develops
an intention to make an advance movement.
The enernv yesterday afternoon were reported
bv scouts arriving at. Holly Springs to be at
Davis’ Mills, eight miles distant. They rested on
the north bank of the Cold Water, and had de
stroyed the bridge in their front. No immediate
advance of course was expected to be made by
their officers, or they would not Lave taken this
step, which was done only to proven: an advance
of our forces. Their own reports, published else
where, admit heavy losses, and time will be re
quired to recover and reorganize, by their shut
tered though partially victorious columns.
A “Shahpkr.”—lt is stated that an officer of u
company lately made a good financial specula
tion (if a gross fraud can be called “good”), in
recruiting in Connecticut. He enlisted about
thirty men in Hartford, sold then, to another cap
tain at $lO a head, got his own pay and bounty,
and then enlisted as a substitute, selling himself
for $45 fl : got the cash, went into camp, rare the
guard at night, went to his own town, procured
the town bounty of S2OOO, and, theo, with a pock

BaAdstow.v, Ky., Sept. 24, 1662.
To the Friends of Kentucky.
One year ago I addressed you from Russellville.
The despotism of the North, though at that time
only in its incipiency, had already invaded our
State. The professed advocates of tree-speech
had crushed the freedom of the Press. The pri
vileges of the writ of habeas errpus had already
beeu suspended by the dicta of the petty instru
ments of usurped power. The Constitution, which
was the basis of our old Union, had been violated 4
in all its essential provisions. Our citiz°ns, for
no other reasons than the advocacy of the princi*
pies of the Constitution, were torn from their
homes and from our State to languish in Northern
prisous,—and denied alike the knowledge of their
accusers and the privileges of a fair trial. The
judicial department of the government was vir
tually suppressed. The Constitution, the only
basis of Union, was overthrown and all i?s p< w
ers usurped by the Executive and the degraded j
instruments whom he chose to oppress a free j
aDd a gallant people. Even then the Washington
government was a revolutionar y power built upon
the ruins of the Constitution, and wielded by an
unprincipled Executive lor the suppression of the
liberties of the peop e.
As a citizen of a State so dear to its own sons,
and so renowned throughout the world for its love
of freedom, I ft It it was not only my right, but
my highest duty, to resist these encroach men ?s ;
upon our constitutional rights. It was in rhis
spirit that I addressed you". The events of the 1
past year have justified the decision of those who 1
from the beginning opposed the tyranny which i
has since oppressed us. A northern army,'flushed !
with a temporary success, has pursued lia ma«
r&udmg career with a ferocity and a contempt for :
the claims of justice and humanity which have :
astonished the civilized world. Your property
has been stolen or destroyed; your slave?, have !
been taken from you on the j»4ta that you are dis
loyal,—disloyal to ihe tyranny and the usurpation ;
which seek to take from you even the right ot
peaceful remonstrance; your bouses have been
invaded by armed soldiers; you have been com
pelled to endure, at the point of the bayonet, un- j
warrantable searches; our fair women have been [
compelled to reuder the moat menial .services to I
the hirelings of the North who have assum 'd to
be your masters; no firesides have been sacred
from these ruthless intrusions. Tile uuoff.mhug
victims of this relentless despotism have been
dragged to the jails and to other loathsome pri
sons to gratify private malice or to satiate the lust
ot tyrannical power. And when the prisons of
our own Slate were tilled with free men ana free
women, the penitentiaries and bastiks of the
North still opened to receive others, until the num
bers are now so astounding that even the names ot
the victims ate uot permired to be known. The
once boasted' land of freedom, under abolition
domination, is one vast prison house The starry
banner, once so famed :u Southern song, has been
converted, in the hands of Sumner and Garrett
Davis, and Seward and Lincoln, and Hunter and
Pope, and Turchin and Beyle and Butler, into the
emblem of all that is oppressive to man and cruel
to woman. Yet to this emblem, degraded by
being so upheld,jre aie requited submissively to
bow as to a talisman which will sanctify the most
ferocious of crimes.
Freemen of Kentucky! It needs not that you
look abroad, upon the burning cities and villages,
and the devastated fields of Tennessee aud the
Mississippi valley, and of our mother State, VirN
ginia, to convince yourselves of the true character
of our oppressors’. Our own State shows suffi
cient evidences of their tyranny. Nor need you
listen to the piercing cries of the women of north
ern Alabama. Our oppressors would te*’ch us
that the nameless brutalities of Mitchell and
Turchin were sanctihed by the folds of the iin*
maculate banner under which these deeds were
perpetrated; for we learu that their muster has
rewarded these outlaws for their crimes. Nor
need you look to Butler and New Orleans to see ■
the depths of degradation te which man may de*
scend when he becomes the instrument of aboli*
lion tyranny. From the jails and prisons of our
own Stute the fair daughters of Kentucky call
upon us to release them from a despotism almost
without a parallel in history. Well may the organ
of Mr Seward exclaim, that it is time the North
had learned that they were “warring not only
against a uuited Souris but agaiust the senti
ments of the civifized world/’ The name of the
“Austrian Butcher” whose cruelty was wreaked
upon only one woman, conveys an idea of moder
ation compared with those of these Northern
despots. Let us not insult the memory of the
Austrian by mentioning his name in the same
sentence with those of Mitchell and Butler, and
Bovle and '1 urchin-
Kentuckians! View the position in which the
leaders ot the so called Union party would place 1
our State. In a thousand ways they solemnly
declare that any attempt to coerce the South
should be met by the aimed opposition of Ken*
tucky. With these declarations upon their lips,
they gained your suffrages. But no more sooner
had they beeu placed in power, than m violation
of their repeated pledges, they joined in the abo*
litiou crusade against the South. Under the guise
of a faithless neutrality, they devised a scheme
of treachery to the people ot this State, which is
calculated to deprive us of ail civil equality, and ,
to make us virtually the political serfs of the
North. Through all the mazes which duplicity
can ieDd to a tortuous course, they have sought to
lead you from the support u t the neutrality policy
which they imposed upon the State, into making
yourselves the instruments of euforcmg ugaiDst
the South and against yourselves, the policy of
indiscriminate plunder aud robbery now urged by
the abolition government of the North
Freemen of Kentucky! Whatever doubts may
have heretofore existed as to the designs of the
Northern Govern men*, they have been dispelled
by the last proclamation of their President. In
violation of every principle of the Constitution, in
violation of his own constructions of that instru
ment. iu violation of his ow n most solemn pledges,
President Lincoln, assuming to be the master of
all his subjects and that you are his abject slaves,
has now fulminated a general proclamation of
freedom to the slaves and of robbery of other
property of the South. It is the fixed policy of
the North. If Ihe will of this Abolition Autocrat
can be fulfilled, hejvill make his people a nation
of bandits, and will light the incendiary torch
around every Kentucky fireside. 'There are mil
lions of Northern hearts which revolt at the
thought of such a policy. Can Kentuckians be
found who will any' longer submit to make them*
selves the instruments in the hands of New Eng
laud to war upon our own interests and upon the
interests of our brothers of the South ?
Will you light the servile torch which is to iu*N .
voire our ow n house* in the general conflagration, I
and draw upon ourselves the contempt and deri- j
sion of the abolition despots who view us only as j
the tame instruments tq carry out their will?
Will you consent that the proud women of Kens
tucky shall become the menials of the Nonh, or
will you shake off the fetters with which you are
bound and show that you are worthy to be free
men ? v
Men of Kentucky! Two Southern Armies, under
the able leadership of the gallant Bragg and Kirby
Smith, are now in your midst. They come to re* i
lieve you from the tyranny with which the North
have so long oppressed you. No peaceable citi* ;
zen, whatever his political views, will be molested.
We make war only against armed men,—not as ]
our enemies do, against peaceable citizens and |
defenceless women and children. We ask those j
who, from sentiments of duty are w ith us, to join
the standard of freedom. If vou are worthy of j
liberty you will win it. We have arms for all who j
will join us. Unite your efforts with those of the
South, aud under the protection of Providence j
our beloved State will not long be desecrated by I
the footsteps of the abolition oppressors. Let us j
not be the slaves and ihe instruments of the North j
to oppress our own people; but actuated by the i
spirit of freedom which wou our independence, ;
let us prove that the sons of our State are worthv
of their parentage, and entitled to claim the right
of protecting the daughters of Kentucky from vhe !
insults with which they have so long been visited, j
Whether from the gloomy prisons which despotic t
: men, let evt. u tier a anouH^S™

VERY LATEST FROM THE NORTH.
A Battle between bragg and dubll—dkspkeiti
FIGHTING Off BOTH SIDES —THE FBDIRALS WHIPPED.
We received lust night, through the kindness of
a friend, who came up on the flag of truce boat
Northern papers of the 10th. The news is very
important, but we have only time to give the fol
lowing dispatches, announcing a victory by Bragg,
in Keuiuckv, after a prolonged and desperate
battle with Buell. The Yankee* try to disguise
their defeat by the vague wording of their dis
patches, but it :s plain to us that our army in
Kentucky has won a great victory. The following
are the dispatches to the New York Tunes:
Dispat.h to N. Y. Times, (Mtuber 10.
Perktvillb, Ky., Oct. », P. M.
Bragg’s army attacked two divisions of General
McCook s corps d aimee neur this place yesterday.
The lighting was uesperate.
Gen. James J. Jackson, Ex-Congressman, of
Kentucky, commanding a division, was killei.
Gen. Terrell, ol Virginia, commanding a brigM
ade, was mortally wounded.
Oq two occasions the fight?ug was hand to
hand.
The Confederates were greatly superior to the
Nationals in number.
McCook was then heavily reinforced bv the Na*
tionals, and the battle was resumed to*»d&y.
The fighting was mainlj doue by Rousseau’s
division, formerly MuchellV Firing ceased about
7 o’clock on the evening of the 3th. A doubtful
rumor says that at the close o| the engagement
the rebels had possession of a part of the field,
[ This is an admission from the enemy, and satis
fies us of our victory.—Examiner.]
STILL LATER.
General Sher.dan, of Illinois, is reported killed,
but it is doubtlul.
Our loss is stated at 2.000 killed and wounded.
The rebel loss is unascertained. The enemy is
north of Perry viHe. A general attack is expected
immediately by our trod; s.
On two occasions the fighting was hand to hand.
The Confederates were greatly superior to the
Nationals in numbers.
ADDITIONAL.
Louisville, Oct 0, P, M.
The battle of Perrvville commenced earlv in
the morning by an artillery duel,which continued
a’l day.
Gen. McCook's corps was engaged alone. At 2
o’clock the rebels made an effort to turn our left
Hunk, and desperate fighting ensued at close quar
ters. The rebels were here dnven back wiih heavy
loss. The battle continued till dark, w.uen both
parties rested.
Gen. Terrell was mortally wounded, also Col.
Webster, of the 9th Ohio. Gen. Jackson was kill
ed. The report of the death of Gen. Rousseau is
not confirmed.
The Union loss estimated at 2,000 killed
and wounded. The rebel loss is greater, if any*
thing. Gen Crittenden and Gen. Gilbert have
reinforced McCook, and the battle was resumed
this morning.
