Kentucky,— Morgan's invasion of Ken¬ 
tucky has been brought to an inglorious issue. 
He expected to find our authorities unprepared 
for him, and counted upon an extensive expedi¬ 
tion of rapine, arson and plunder. Making his 
appearance suddenly, he captured a few towns, 
invested Frankfort, marched upon C'ynthianu, 
and took that place, together with its entire 
garrison, comprising, it is reported, some 1,200 
men. But before he could get off, he was over¬ 
hauled by Gen. Burbridge and terribly beaten. 
His command fled in the wildest confusion, 
throwing away their arms, and giving them¬ 
selves np entirely to panic, A dispatch from 
Louisville says the rebels raised the siege of 
Frankfort on the ]2th, and fled. 
The Louisville Democrat of the 14th says:— 
Everything is now quiet at Frankfort, and no 
rebels are in that vicinity. No fears are enter¬ 
tained of another attack, but if it should be 
renewed, Gov, Bramlette is confident of his 
ability to hold the city. The dispatch of Gov. 
Bramlette states that the main portion of Mor¬ 
gan's force crossed the road yesterday morning 
at Paine.-vide, LOj miles this side of Lexington. 
A dispatch from Gen. Burbridge states that the 
rebels Were moving south, in the direction of 
Lebanon. Hanson is close upon them, and it is 
to be hoped he will catch the last one. The 
raid of Morgan into the State is virtually at an 
end, as he will uot be able to rally bis force in 
the State for another stand. It is generally be¬ 
lieved that Morgan is now endeavoring to make 
his way out of the State in the best manner he 
can, and if he succeeds in again getting beyond 
the bounds of Kentucky lie will be lucky. 
About two o'clock yesterday morning a portion 
of Morgan’s force which had strayed from the 
main command, entered the city of Bardstown 
without opposition. They took quiet possession 
of the place, as the citizens generally were so 
frightened that they knew not what to do. 
Their first act upon entering the town was to 
break open the jail and release the prisoners, 
twenty-three in number, among whom was one 
man indicted for murder, having killed a citi¬ 
zen of Nelson county for his money. The con¬ 
victs, after being released, were armed, and the 
majority of them joined the guerrilla band and 
left with them. A number of the stores were 
entered, and a large amount of goods carried off. 
Three hundred guerrillas, on the evening of 
the 18th, robbed Captain Wilson’s house, at. 
Calhoun, taking $700, his wife’s jewelry, cut¬ 
ting his furniture to pieces, ami then leaving in 
the direction of Owensboro. 
Trains from Louisville to Nashville run regu¬ 
larly twice daily, and have not been interrupted 
for some days. 
The rebels had blown up a train of cars with 
a torpedo, in the neighborhood of Calhoun, 
hurling the locomotive six feet from the track, 
tearing four cars that were immediately in the 
rear into splinters. Nobody was seriously in¬ 
jured. 
Mississippi. —The expedition of Gen. Stur¬ 
gis, which left Memphis June 1st, is returning. 
We learn from an officer that they met a large 
force of rebels at Guntown, said to consist of 
30,000 infantry and cavalry, under command of 
Forrest, Lee and Bodily. This lurge force at¬ 
tacked them suddenly and a most desperate fight 
ensued, resulting in the defeat of Sturgis, with 
the loss of his wagon train and ammunition. 
The bust was a most severe loss, as Sturgis had 
run out of ammunition, and was obliged to de¬ 
stroy and abandon his artillery. Many of his 
infantry were captured, but the exact number 
was not known, Gen. Sturgis’ force consisted 
of 0,00(1 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. 
The large rebel force which attacked them is 
supposed to have been en route, for Sherman's 
rear to interfere with his communications. 
Arkansas.—T he Tribune Washington spe¬ 
cial says:—Parties who left Little Hock on the 
4th, report Gen. Steele’s army at that place, 
Pine bluff and Fort 'inith, with a considerable 
force at Duval’s Blulf. Pine Bluff, under Col. 
to the railroads and depots in his pathway. He 
is accompanied by a large cavalry and artillery 
force, and is fully aide to cope with any body of 
the enemy with whom he may fall in.

war. amounting to about 1,000 tuns. 
The U. S. steamer Newbern ran ashore the 
blockade runner l’ereney, nine miles north of 
Beaufort, on the 9th inst. She was laden with 
arms, lead, bacon, and shoes on Confederate 
account. Her engines and boilers were blown 
completely out of her in a few minutes after she 
struck. She was a fine iron, side wheel steamer 
of 543 tuns register and new, this being her 
second trip. The vessel and cargo were valued 
at one million dollars. 
The rebels opened fire on our troops from 
Sullivan's and Janies’Island (Charleston harbor) 
on the 7th, which was replied to by our guns. 
No damage was sustained by us. At night the 
guns of Fort Putnam opened on a rebel steamer 
bound for Charleston and Sumter, laden with 
supplies, she was disabled and rim aground, 
and at daylight was demolished by our guns. 
Deserters are constantly coming within our lines. 
The Unionists of Florida are represented as

Gen. Asboth. commanding the district of Pensa¬ 
cola, writes to the Agent of the Sanitary Com¬ 
mission in New Orleans, that there are at that 
place over (100, and at East Pass near 200, desli- 
mte women and children, entirely dependent 
on the United States Government for support. 
Our authorities have afforded them temporary 
relief; hut they can do comparatively little in 
ameliorating the condition of these unfortu¬ 
nates. What is wanted is not merely food but 
clothing and medical assistance. 
The Herald's Key West correspondent says a 
detachment of Union troops marched from 
Fort Myers to Fort Meade, 1*0 miles, met guer¬ 
rillas, who fled on sight, captured twenty-two 
horses, herded over one thousand head of cattle, 
and drove them all into our lines. Much pro¬ 
vision and forage were also secured. Seventy- 
one Union prisoners were released, and seventy 
women and children, nearly starved, rescued. 
The expedition was absent fourteen days 
and marched over two hundred miles. Three 
small vessels, with various cargoes, were also 
captured. 
ROCHESTER, N. Y., JUNE 25,1864. 
The Army in Virginia, 
GEU general [Grant has removed his base of 
operations to the James River, or south-east side 
of Richmond. From dispatches dated at head¬ 
quarters June 14, we learn that the Army of 
the Potomac took up its line of march for the 
Chickahominy on Sunday, at 3 P. M. The 5th 
corps took the advan ce on the mi ddle road, by 
way of Providence Chur&b. The 2d corps took 
the western road. The 6th and 9th corps took 
the road leading to Jones’ Bridge, and in the 
meantime the 18th corps (General Smith’s) em¬ 
barked on transports at the White House. 
The advance of the army halted for the night 
near the Chickahominy, which they crossed on 
the day following. No signs of an enemy were 
to be seen, except a few cavalry pickets, who 
fled at our approach. The 2d ami - 7th corps, 
after crossing the Chickahominy, marched to 
Charles City on the James River, which they 
reached on Monday at 6 P. M. The 6th and 9th 
corps reached the James River (Wilcox's Land¬ 
ing) at half past five P. M. 
The change of base has been very successfully 
made, with the utmost order. Our loss was 
very light. The rebels left their works almost 
as soon as we did, taking the roads to Richmond. 
The White House will be evacuated as soon as 
the supplies can be shipped on transports. 
The whole army crossed the James River on 
Tuesday, the ] 5tb. 
General Grant visited Gen, Butler on the 
15th, and inspected the line of intrencliments. 
He expressed himself well pleased with the 
condition of affairs under Butler's command. 
The 18th corps, we learn from Secretary 
Stanton's official, landed on the 14th near Gen. 
Butler’s headquarters on the Appomattox. 
On reporting to Gen. Butler, an order was im¬ 
mediately issued to Gen. Smith to move the next 
morning at two o'clock upon Petersburg, in con¬ 
junction with a strong cavalry force under Gen. 
Kautz. 
The command moved, as ordered, and sur¬ 
prised and captured the very strong works, 
northeast of Petersburg, before a sufficient 
forcecoukl begot in by the enemy todefend t hem. 
Gen. Smith was joined the night following by 
the 2d corps, which, in turn, captured more of 
the enemy’s redoubts further south. 
The 9th corps came up and captured two 
more redoubts with four guns and 450 prisoners. 
A correspondent at headquarters June 17. 
says our lines have been pushed steadily for¬ 
ward. Several strong positions have been taken 
from the enemy. 
Prisoners state that portions of Lee’s army 
commenced arriving in Petersburg on Wednes¬ 
day night, only a few hours after the arrival of 
Haucock, with the 2d corps, and that a brigade 
commanded by Wise in person, held the town 
until that time. The City Point Railroad is 
now in our possession, and the Norfolk and 
Petersburg line is commanded by our troops. 
Between 5 aud 6 o'clock Wednesday morning, 
the enemy began a heavy artillery fire on our 
line, rendering an advance or retreat necessary. 
Accordingly an advance of the 2d and 18th 
corps was ordered by Hancock, who, in the 
absence of Gen. Meade, took command of both 
corps. 
The assault was highly successful, several 
lines of rebel works being carried at the point 
of the bayonet, and a number of redoubts of 
great strength occupied. Sixteen guns were 
taken from the enemy by the 18th corps. 
At 6 o’clock an attack was made by the 2d 
corps and an advance position assumed and 
maintained. Earthworks were immediately 
constructed. 
Our lines, as now formed, face the city from 
the east and Houth, partially encircling it, and 
extends across the City Point Railroad south¬ 
ward to the vicinity of the Petersburg and Nor¬ 
folk Railroad. Burnside holds the left of our 
line, Hancock the center, and Smith the right. 
Dates from near Petersburg of June 18, say 
yesterday morning the 9th and 2d corps, form¬ 
ing the left of our line, were considerably ad¬ 
vanced, where for a short time, the fighting was 
exceedingly severe. The results of the battle 
were considered favorable. 
An incessant cannonading was kept up during 
the day on the left. At noon Burnside charged 
the enemy in front. The tight was short but 
bloody, resulting in our troops getting a position 
considerably nearer the enemy’s works. The 
firing was kept Up at intervals till after midnight. 
The Tinas special, dated June I8th,says Gen. 
Bmiey’s division, 2d corps, occupies a line within 
2,500 yards of the city, and threw a few shells 
into it yesterday, settin,

AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON, 
The Constitutional amendment proposition 
abolishing slavery, was defeated in the House 
on the 15th inst. It lacked eleven of the requi¬ 
site two-thirds vote. 
The Senate Military < ommittee favor the pro¬ 
posed repeal of the $300 commutation clause of 
the enrollment bill, with the exception of the 
chairman. Senator Wilson, who has given notice 
of his intention to offer certain amendments, 
the effect of which will be to give $100 bounty 
to drafted men after the end of the year’s ser¬ 
vice, and a proportional bounty for a less time 
if honorably discharged before the expiration of 
the year. He also proposes to add a provision 
for voluntary enlistments into other States from 
States in insurrection, and for securing the free¬ 
dom of the wives and children of colored sol¬ 
diers thus enlisted. 
.Mr. Schenck, of Ohio, introduced a bill in the 
House on the 14th, repealing the $300 clause in

ment relative to the next draft; 
Volunteers may be accepted on a quota any 
time previous to the draft, whether the draw¬ 
ing be for original deficiency or for partial de¬ 
ficiencies remaining to lie obtained by subsequent 
drawings. Circular No. 17(1’. M. G, Q.) only 
forbids the discharge of men after being actually 
drawn in the draft, on account of volunteers 
received. Credits for veteran enlistments of 
date prior to the draft actually taking place in 
any district will be applied on the present draft, 
and a corresponding number of the drafted men 
last drawn may be discharged. Certificates of 
exemption on payment of commutation should 
specify that said certificate relieves such person 
from draft in filling that quota, this exemption 
however in no instance extending beyond one 
year. Men may be accepted as substitutes for 
each other without regard to color. Drafted 
men can furnish substitutes or pay commutation 
at any time prior to the day of reporting for 
duty. Boards of enrollment will not reject sub¬ 
stitutes ou account of their not being able to 
speak the English language.
