ant's attack upon Belmont. Under the protection of this army the secessionists of Kentucky organized a new legislature, which was this time subservient to the wishes of Governor Magoffin, and voted for the annexation of their State to the Southern Confederacy. Buell had massed at Elizabethtown an army of forty thousand men under the immediate command of General McCook, an officer of great energy and brother to the one we have seen serving under Rosecrans. At the same time, he sent General Mitchell to make a threatening demonstration against Zollicoffer on the borders of the Cumberland. McCook, following the railway, proceeded as far as Munfordsville, on Green River, after a trifling engagement with the outposts of the Confederate general Hindman, on the 4th of December, at Whippoorwill Bridge. The passage of the river delayed him for some time, but on the 16th the Union general, having at last constructed a bridge of boats, sent a German regiment to make a reconnaissance on the

yor and a few citizens succeeded in restoring some degree of order while waiting for the arrival of the Federals. The latter appeared on the 23d. They were a portion of Buell's forces, consisting of a regiment of cavalry, the Fourth Ohio, of Mitchell's division. This division had been sent by the commander of the army of Kentucky to watch Johnston's movements as soon as he had heard of Grant's march upon Fort Donelson. Having started on the 13th in full haste, it reached Bowling Green on the 14th just in time to see the last Confederate troops evacuate that place, set fire to their storehouses, and quickly disappear, destroying all the railroad bridges behind them. It required no less than nine days for Mitchell's soldiers, who had been delayed for want of provisions, to reach Nashville. They got there, however, in advance of the Federal gun-boats and the conquerors of Donelson. On the 20th the indefatigable Foote had taken possession of Clarksville, an important position si

At a certain distance they were coming to attack him, and inflicted terrible losses upon the enemy. The Confederates returned in vain to the charge. Toward four o'clock Gilbert sent Mitchell's division to take part in the battle; two of his brigades drew near Sheridan, covering his right; one of them, under Carlin, joined him in an offensive return, e enemy was finally thrown back beyond Chaplin's Creek. The Federals passed through the village of Perryville, where they picked up some hundreds of prisoners. Mitchell's third brigade, under Gooding, had gone to the extreme left to McCook's relief, and for nearly two hours it made head almost alone against the attacks of the Co

Having reached the headquarters at Beaufort on the 30th of September, Mitchell at once set himself to work to organize the colony of emancipated negroes thatt determined to dislodge them; and on the very day of his arrival at Beaufort, Mitchell sent a few troops, under General Brannan, to assist the naval force in this opn extended lake than a real river.

sembled the bulk of his forces. The Confederates, being vigorously attacked, are soon obliged to beat a retreat, leaving about thirty men in the hands of the assailants. The two Federal columns had scarcely returned to Murfreesborough when General Mitchell, who was then in command at Nashville, learned that a detachment of Morgan's cavalry had had the audacity to establish a recruitingdepot only a few miles from the capital of Tennessee, on the Lebanon road. He started on the morning of the 6id not last long, for six days later, General Bragg having determined to ascertain the strength of the Federals at Triune, Forrest despatched Starnes' brigade toward that point. On the 11th the latter made a vigorous attack upon the outposts of Mitchell's cavalry, which covered the encampments of Granger's corps, taking a few prisoners, but soon found himself in the presence of a numerous force, which compelled him to beat a speedy retreat, not without sustaining serious losses.

inisters, given after a solemn day of prayer. The ministers of God in New England have more of the spirit of John Baptist in them, than now, when a storm hath overtaken them, to be reeds, shaken with the wind. The priests were to be the first that set their foot in the waters, and there to stand till the danger be past. Of all men, they should be an example to the Lord's people, of faith, courage, and constancy. Unquestionably, if the blessed Cotton, Hooker, Davenport, Mather, Shepherd, Mitchell, were now living, they would, as is evident from their printed books, say, Do not sin in giving away the inheritance of your fathers. Nor ought we submit without the consent of the body of the people. But the freemen and churchmembers throughout New England will never consent hereunto. Therefore the government may not do it. The civil liberties of New England are part of the inheritance of their fathers; and shall we give that inheritance away? Is it objected that we shall be expos
