February 28 I The Alarm In the West?Excitement in Cincinnati* The Baltimore i\Tcm Sheet, of the 21st, says: Moktai.'s evnloits in Kontnelcv still continues to create great excitement, not only throughout-that State* but also in Ohio and Indiana. At Louisville, Brigadier General Boyle, commanding the Federal Forces in Kentucky, issued, on the 13th inst., a proclamation, calling upon every able bodied man to take up arras, and prohibiting every man who refused to do so from leaving his house during the next forty-eight hours, under the penalty of being shot j down if lie quitted it This order was made to apply not only to Louisville, but also to Lexington and its vicinity, and we presume was promulgated at other places where Federal troops were in sufficient strength to enforce it. At Cincinnati, the Commercial of the city warns the citizens that the call for men to turn out in public defenco was never more urgent than now. The Gazette regards the danger i to Cincinnati itself as being most imminent. | The last mentioned journal tells its readers that | it would occasion no surprise "to hear at any hour of Morgan's Cavalry being on the hills opposite Cincinnati;" that the way is open and they know it; that there are guns and fortifications back of Covington, but there are no i a..i _n j 1. - e :.. tr men, auu limb tin uiu iuiccs in xveutveKy aru on the defensive, whilst two thousand men under .Morgan are doing pretty much as they please. Since the capture of Cyntliiana, in Harrison county, Kentucky, the Confederates have taken Henderson, also in the same State, and crossing into Indiana, have occupied Ncwburg, where they made prisoners of two hunand forty sick Federal soldiers, and seized two hundred and fifty stand of arms. At the last advices it was believed that they were receiving constant accessions to their forces, and were moving steadly northward.

On Thursday evening last one hundred and forty Confederates were encamped within eighteen miles of Covington opposite Cincinnati. Cure for Diarrikea.?It seems not to be generally known that the free use of ripe peaches is a prompt and certain cure for diarrhoea. The writer has known cases of several months standing, which had resisted all ordinary rem cdies, yield in a few days under unrestrained use of this fruit. At this season, when the disease and the remedy arc both so common, a1 . 1 1 .1 a. 1 ' _a. t - it - j* me xnowieuge 01 una met iur uie iruin 01 which the writer vouches, may save much suffering. If hospital patients suffering from dial' rhoea were treated freely with ripe peaches instead of opium, the result would be greatly to the advantage of all concerned. The remedy is peculiarly valuable in the case of children. Let those who are dosing their children with drugs at this season try this pleasant remedy^ and they will need no other.?Rome (Oa.) Courier, July 22. Gen. Beaureqakd.?As many idle stories have been going the round of the papers relative to Gen. Beauregard's whereabouts and the cause of his absence from the army, we think it well to state that he is at present with his family at Bladon Springs, South Alabama. It will be recollected, says the Richmond Examiner, that Gen. Beauregard took the field in the South-west when our fortunes in that quarter were at their darkest period. In the active campaign which ensued, and in the perfect organization of the immense army at Corinth, ho peiformed labors which seriously affected his health, and rendered a period of rest and recuperation absolutely necessary. That he might enjoy the^'inucb ^needed rest, he procured a relief from his command for a> few months. We are pleased to add that the General's health is rapidly improving, and that he will very soon bo able to return to his post. With his return to active service the country will feel renewed confidence in its fortunes. Highly Important from the West. morgan ok his rounds?eleven c1t1e8 and towns captured?confederates on federal soil. * Petersburg, July 25.?The Petersburg Express has a special despatch from Knoxvillc, announcing the arrival of a special menssenger to Headquarters, Tennessee, from Morgan, da ted Ueorgctown, July 15. lie says he had captured eleven cities and towns, with a heavy amouut of arms and stores, and has a force sufficient to hold all the country outside of Lexington and Frankfort, which places are chiefly garrisoned by home guards. The bridges between Lexington and Cincinnati have been all destroyed. Mobile, July 25.?'A special despatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Jackson, 24tli? states that Lieut. Col. Ferguson, of Stark's Cavalry, with two companies and a field battery, captured and destroyed a Federal mail steamer at Skipwitli's Landing, 60 miles above Vicksburg. Col. Fergnson succeeded in obtaining possession of the mail bag from the steamship Richmond, en route for Washington, thd contents of which is highly interesting. Yankee letters admit the impossibility of capturing Vicksburg without an immense land force, and admit that the Arkansas whipped them. They eviuce great terror of the Arkansas. Her appearance round the bend this Morning was the signal lor a general skedaddle. The bombardment continued slowly. ^ The Yankee Lomcm oil tlic Peninsula ?Wliut President Lincoln says. "Agate," "Western correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette, has found his way to "Washington, whence he writes under date of July 13th. On the singlo matter of the President's belief as to the amount of our losses, we already iTave three or four contradictory versions; wliilo I happen to know that every one of them conflicts with the statements the President hfm" self made to a certain party of four, only last Friday evening. Said the President with marked emphasis^ "I can't tell where the men have have gone in that army. I have sent there at one time and another, one hundred and?" (perhaps prudence requires that I should leave the next two places for figures blank), <4one hundred and thousand men, and I can only find just half that many now.?Where can they have gone? Burnside accounts to me for every man he has taken?so many killed in battle; so nmnv wmindnd* sr> manv siplr in f)iA linenital ~'V-J ?? " "J v"v MVU|yi|)?|j so many absent on foulough. So does Mitchell. So does Buell, and so others; but I can't tell what has become of half the army I've sent 'down to the Peninsula." White vs. Black Labor Riots in Cincinnati.?The scarcity of white labor on the steamboats at Cincinati has induced the Captains to put wages up to $50 and $75 per month. The negros, however, are willing to do th* work for $30. To their employment the whites, particularly the Irish, objected, and, early on the morning of the 10th, a serious riot began, which had continued for several days, and was still in progress at last accounts?many being killed on both sides. A Good One.?The Grenada (Miss.) Appeal relates the following: We have been told a very good anecdote of a lady living in Williamson County, Tennessee^ which will bear giving, to the public.- As the story runs, some half dozen Federal officers rode up to her house one evening and asked to be furnished dinner. The lady replied that dinner was over, and that she was not able to cook another herself. The officers answered that she had several servant women aboot the house who could do the cookings "No," replied the lady, "my negro women haw all got above their business of late. They expect to marry Federal officers very soon, and I can do nothing with them." It is needless to say that the officers "skedaddled" without further parley. I 1 Flag of Truce Accidentally Fired on ?Confederate and Federal Officer a and Soldiers Killed and bounded. Tho Knoxvillc Register, of Friday, coutains the following: On Tuesday night last, July 22, as a detachment of seven Confederate soldiers, commanded by a Lieutenant, who. had been sent under a flag of truce to convey the two Eederal surgeons captured at Murfresboro', and paroled here, and some other nriaonerR- tn riiithWrlnnrl Gap, were returning under a Federal escort to the Confederate lines, tbey were fifed on by a body of Federal cavalry. The Confederate Lieutenant (whose name we have been unable to learn) was killed and six of his men wounded, only one having escaped.?Lieut. Col. Keigwin, commanding the Federal escort, and Capt. Lyons, of Gen. Morgan's staff (Federal) were severely wounded, and some of the Federal soldiers were either killed or wounded. This unfortunate affair, as explained by the Federal Gen. Morgan, was, no do doubt, accidental. It seems that the Federal cavalry had been sent out on an expedition prior to the arrival of tho flag of trilce, and happening to encounter those ifl charge of it on their return at night, were tillable to distinguish their true character, very naturally mistook them for Confederate soldiers on a hostile errand, and fired on them, with the unfortunate result stated. . The Terrors of Bombardment. The Yanks have been bombarding Vicksburg ever since the 22d ot May, and have discharged over 20,000 shot and shell at'the towU.? Up to the 4th of July they had killed six men1 and one woman, and a correspondent of the" Memphis Appeal says: The city has suffered considerably from the' constant rain of shot and shell that have been' poured upon it, though the actual damage in dollars and cents is comparatively small. I hear that a responsible party has offered to repair all damage done for the moderate sum of $5000, but I think he would lose money taking the contraet for twice the amount. OUe is surprised upon first witnessing the character of the injuries sustained from these missiles by' the houses of the city. They generally passthrough them like a piston balf through a pane of glass, leaving a smooth round hole jhst the* diameter of the ball or shell discharged. Rare-* ly is a wall badly breached, except by the explosion of a bomb, and in no case has conflagration yet been produced. So ranch for this terrible bugbear of "shelling cities," of which1 we heard and read so much. A Yankee -Traik in Knoxville.?Our streets preseuted quite a lively appearance yesterday morning. The long train of United State? wagons, captured by Col. Forrest at Murfresboro. made its entree, with drums beating ' ' o and colors flyings and passing up Gay street Was turned over to1 the Quartermaster, after first having deposited the- captured arms, &c., at the ordnance department. In the afternoon,a portion of the horses and mules were also brought and turned over to the care of the quartermaster. The spectacle was witnessed by a large crowd of citizens and country people. Among them we noticed some Unionists,who have long been anxiously waiting to beholds the machinery of a Yankee army in the streets of Knoxville. Wo hope they enjoyed the sight yesterday, notwithstanding? the Yankee teams * ? ' u had Confederate drivers.?KnoxvilU Register 23d.
