Keep, a home-missionary in town ship No. 11, now called Ashland, has perhaps visited Kataiidin more often than any other man, and has seen it under more varying cir cumstances. We had engaged him for a guide on this occasion. He is a man of great height, and of corres ponding strength, well fitted to be a pioneer preacher in any country. Mr. Keep has visit ed Mt. Kataiidin nearly every summer for many years, and has made a “spotted path” to the Slide. His labors in this matter were so well appreciated by the Legislature of Maine, that they have given him a half township of land near the mountain. With his surprising height, and his tree, open countenance, Keep is a tnan you would ask about if you should see him in a crowd, he would so tower above the other sons of men. He selects our provision with considerable care, since it will be unpleasant, beyond meas ure, for us to starve, or even to get out of food, twenty miles from any dwelling house. Pork, Hard-bread, Tea n uai snau we say 01 porK r 10 tnose oi the city, nothing; because they will not be per suaded, till they try this life in the woods, tliat pork is even palatable, as a regular article of diet. To those in the country there is also no need to speak of this staff of life, because they know its value. Hardbread! Portable flonr, that is all. Tea! The backwoodsman is as much de pendent upon tea as he is upon hifrdbread.— In fact, I have heard many say tliat with pota toes, pork, and tea, they could subsist for months. What is the office of tea, in the economy of human life, I am unable to say.— But it supplies a place in the bill of fare of woodsmen that nothing else can fill. Let those who try to explain ita use in sustaining life be careful, however, in committbig them selves, since it will be well to be sure that tea i» tea. I have never yet seen any tea in the woods, beyond what was necessarily used by the Boston or New York manufacturers in flavoring raspberry leaves! The leaf of the Camellia Thiea, or Camellia Bohea, is a beautiful leaf, with certain marked peculiarities. Those leaves are never, (or ex ceptionally) sold to those who desire a cheap lea for use in the woods. So then, the ques tion is modified, and becomes this: How can Raspberry leaves contribute to the sup|»ort of human life? With pork, hardbread, and raspberry leaves, we are ready to start for the mountain, and are to tie carried in a batteau, or river-driver's boat, for a mile or so, across a “logau.” The word ttogau" means the smaller arm of*the river, which extends around an island, and may be a corruption of the Pacific word “La goon. The short journey by water is accomplished, aud the packs are now arranged for a long tramp on the river’s bank. We pass through blue-joint grass, which is much higher than our heads, aud which is now damp with the heavy dew of last night. The tall astor, aud the acuminate astor are in full glory, and near ly hide trom view a plant almost peculiar to the North, Spurred Gentian, or Halenia. The wild roses are in their beauty, and we hardly know which to admire most, the sunset ]>ctals ol the flowers, or the emerald green of the glossy leaves. Snell a walk as this through the first growth of our forests is full of enjoy ment. The air is heavily ‘perfumed with the Fir and Spruce, and suggests pleasant memo ries to us all. The Autocrat has said few tru er things than that which everybody recog nized as a fact, but which none had told on pai>or before: odors are more suggestive than words spoken. Yes plainly the nose is better than the car, for keeping in memory the secrets of former years. People with long noses have good memories! And we walk on under tin- thick shadows ol tile Hr and pine and maple, and never ask how many steps we take to pass ov er a mile in the wroods. There is no idea more erroneous than that of sup|>osing that a mile, measured in Ahe woods, is only 320 rods. It is twice 320 in nearly every instance, and some times three times that number of rods. Twen ty such miles we must travel before we reach even the base of the mountain. Over hills, down into valleys, through thick ets of black spruce and swamps of cedar,' it is the same old story of tedious, foot-sore travel ling and weary nights. Night never comes too soon in the woods, unless one is lost It Is always welcome; and our camping by the side of Wassataon such a sccnc,noue except those who could sing of the early beauty of the sky and the azure of the mountain at onr side. We were there by indulgence; and, while we cotdd admire the grandeur and read the morning lesson of the twilight, no power was given to u» to tell oth ers of that which filled our souls. -T-uu ueu me iwiugni musneu into tne sun rise, we all stood silently awed by the glory. Half liad never been told us. Like those who are to gaze, on a splendid gallery of paintings, no longer, we reluctantly turned away. The "Si ide” is the point of the inouutain which we first reach. It is an highway of loose gravel and rolling stones; with each side of the path lined by the mountain vegetation. At the base, the pines and birches assist us in our climbing, and after a rise of hundreds of feet, we find that these become much smaller and finally dwindle down into dwarfs. A little higher and our path is through the mountain berry bushes and the new variety of the white birch. Under our feet the lichens, which below were struggling for life, are here thriving in a con genial climate, and the little “Reindeer Moss,” a lichen everywhere common In some degree of variation or other, is here a conspicuous el ement of the Flora. Hard climbing for a few hundred feet, brings us to the elementary ta ble-laud of KaUihdiu. Around us are the boulders and disconnected fragments of rock, transported from the mountains still farther north, while many of them are merely remov ed a few feet from the parent ledge. We stand on the creeping willows and mountain bar berry, with lew plants around us which are old acquaintances. The dwarf cornel, which is a real cosmopolite, still permits us to admire the beautiful star-like arrangement of the leaves, and causes us to wonder why it will persist in scaling the mountain to attain such a chilly em inence as this. Do not men do so every day Far below us a few stragglers of our party who arc rather fat and putTy, turn round every five minutes to admire the scenery. Poor souls, don't they know we ran see through their painful endeavors to pretend not to per spire or be weary The view from this first and lowest table land or flat ridge is-what shall we call it Shall we, at this the outset, exhaust our very limited stock of adjectives, synonymous with “superb,” “magnificent,” Ac? X am afraid if I did so, I should soon say in despair, as the Frenchman did, “splendid! mngnitique!! su perb!!! prcttv fine!!!! Suffice it then to say, in common language, that even this view is rather tall! But Mr. I Keep, our terrestrial Palinurus, orders are to j “move on.” “Oh, let's examine this first!” say all our fat j men simultaneously, and, deferring to their wishes and absolute necessities, we sat down to lunch before proceeding further. We found a little water in a hollow of a granite ledge and i with the rock for our table and pitcher, con trived to spend a very comfortable noon. The cranberries which we saw, were very plenty on the table-land and furnished us with a de licious desert. Hard climbing now—after dinner. Loose rocks everywhere and partly concealed by the luxuriaut growth of lichens; sharp-poiuted ledges and projections; all these made our progress |anythiug but rapid. Every moment the view became more grand until we had reached the summit before descending to the “Chimney.” Katahdiu has three summits al though it seems like an Emcraldism to speak of three highest points. This is one of sum mits. It is a spur of great height and afTords a magnificent view of the whole country around, with the exception of that which is hidden by the mural precipice on the south. Far away in that direction is a wall, and of such height that one shrinks from even think ing of walking on its narrow edge. Sharp and keen is that edge and frightfully steep are the sides. No wonder that more than one ask i ed Keep, confidentially, if it were not possible to attain the monument without passing over the knife-edge of granite. “No, sir, and more j than that, where you see that deep gulf with J the ridge for a bottom and a deeper gulf on either side, that’s where we are going!” And what is that ravine called It is that which i all should visit, and yet, w hich all who pass into it and out of it shall hold their breath. J It is no use to disguise the fuet that it is an awe-inspiring sight; for the sublimity can be j felt. Down into this deep gulf we creep with slow ami well-tried steps, for a single miss-step i might be instantly fatal. This is the grand, the terrible Chimney llavine. Having reached the narrow bottom which is scarce wide enough for one to feel safe, and l where the mountain wind whistles by us with a wildness like that of the wind in the Notch of the White Mountains, here is one of the secret places of the Indian’s deity, one upon which the Indian could gaze but could never place his foot. This was the Siuai of the Ited man. G. BOOKS STATIONERY. £g EXCHANGE ST. £g BLANK BOOK AND STATIONERY, —AND— PA PER HANGING WAREHOUSE EafablUhed In 1825.

E^“The members of the City Government held an informal meeting last evening, a quo rum of Aldermen not being present, at which it was decided that a bounty of §20,00 would Vie given each enlisting recruit, and it was further intimated that the city would become responsible for the amount expended towards the uniforms and equipments of the Zouave Batallion. Accident.—A young man named Robert McCallough Wilcox, connected with Felt’s establishment on Exchange street, while sit ting upon a window sill in the 2d story of the store on Wednesday night, fell to the sidewalk below, injuring him severely on the head, and suffering other severe contusions of the body. We are happy to leam that no immediate dan ger is to be apprehended. A Slippeht Feli.ow.—With all of the wariness for whicli our police are celebrated, still, an adroit fellow will now and then “do” for them. One of our sharpest experts in the line of rogue catching, was handsomely baulk ed, yesterday afternoon by a cunning fellow of the slippery eel specie. The officer suppos ed him to be safe enough, and, having occa sion to use his handkerchief, but turned away for a second, when upon another inspection, the “artful dodger” wasn’t there, and upon looking ngain, he was in the same place. Tu key No. 2, was not to be thus despoiled of ills game, ami slashing about for a while discov ered the bird, and finally drew him into the Marshal’s cage. Invalid Soldiers.—'The following sick ruid wounded Maine soldiers, have arrived at New York in steamer Atlantic, from Gen. McClellan’s army: T. Lowell, B, 7th. Hallowell; X. A.

LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS. The news by the evening papers of yester day was meagre. A Civilian who has arrived at Poolesville, Ind., from Richmond the 13th, says that at Gordousville there were not more than six or seven regiments. A heavy force could be seen camping and bivouacing on the hills, stretching to the north east in the direc tion of Orange Court House. The narrator stopped ten hours in Gordons vllle, and during that time saw not less than ten trains arrive on the Central railroad from the south and the Charlottesville railroad from Lynchburg—those from Richmond bringing troops ami those from Lynchburg both troops and supplies. He, judging from what he saw, says that the whole Confederate army in Virginia is by this time in positions on the Virginia Central rail road, and that it numbers 2.70,000 men. Stonewall Jackson was said to have, left Gordsonville, but none know his whereabouts. This looks as if they contemplated a think movement against Gen. Pope's right, and if so, it will probably be led by Jackson. New York, August 21. The Times’ letter from Fortress Monroe dated 10th, says the army is already out of reach of the enemy’s guns, on the peninsula, and is already in process of embarkation for another Held of operation. Gen. Porter's corps performed a very rapid march to Yorktown, making the whole dis tance of nearly thirty miles in less than one dav. 1’he Tribune’s Fortress Monroe letter says Gen. Ileintzlcman did not accompany the ar my on its march down the peninsula, but struck off in another direction towards White House, he having passed the Chickahomiiiy with his corps at Jones’ Bridge, seven miles above the pontoon bridge. His exact course and whereabouts were not known, but common remark was that he had gone off to look up a tight. He was accom panied by Averill’s cavalry, who stampeded a body of the enemy’s cavalry some distance above. Lieut Jeffers of the Monitor, has been re lieved by Lieut Stevens of the Maratanzas,aud ordered to Philadelphia as Ordnance officer. The Tribune says there is a report that Gen. Burnside is to command the combined armies of McClellan and Pope, but does not know The Times’ Washington dispatch says Mr. Stanton stated to-day that the order for draft ing to till up old regiments would be enforced without fail by the first of September. The old regiments which have not lieen recruited up to their full strength before that time, w ill at once be filled by draft Steamer Columbia from Havana lfith, lias arrived. The yellow fever was decreasing, but for the past month has been very fatal. Dates from Vera Cruz 1st ami Oriziba 28th have been received. Dobaldo offered Gen. Calios, who succeeded Marques iu command, $30,000 to turn his troops over to the Mexican Government, the money to be paid out of a loan negotiated with the representatives of the United States. The French steamer Grenada liomharded Campeche, destroying several houses, but was driven off by a schooner hastily armed by the authorities. Advices front Martinique report that 4000 French reinforcements for Mexico had ar rived there. 25,000 were expected. Nashville, August 20. Col. neflVon of the 15th Indiana'regiment, proceeded to Gallatin to-day without orders with 250 men who had been (aisled ut a bridge. He made a number of arrests of civilians.— While Hellion's party were gone the guerillas burned the bridge at Sandersville and ca(> tured fourteen men. Col. Hetfron returned here for reinforce ments, when he was arrested and placed in close confinement for disobedience of orders. The 70th Pennsylvania regiment. Col. Haw bright, went up at 15 minutes notice and found the guerillas dispersed. Fortress Monroe. August 20. Steamships Vanderbilt nnd Ualtic after lay ing at anchor from two to three weeks abreast the tort, steamed up to-day and both went out to se4$ Municipal Court—August 21. Our Police Court report for to-day is neces sarily quiet, nothing having come up for adju dication before his Honor. Three (tenons, however, were arrested the night previous for having been “sliglitually” intoxicated—were kept until morning in the Marshal’s little quar ters, anil then allowed to run at large, again.

Itt'lM l Retreat from Lexington. Rumored Disaster to (>ea. Pope (■i'll, t ori onin in Philadelphia. A Disgraceful Surrender. Abiiiifloiiineut of Fort Douelsoii

Pursuit of Rucrillas. [Special Dispatch to the Daily Frees.] Congressional Nomination. Baxgob, Aug. 21. At the Congressional District Convention held to-day, Hon. Amos Pickard was elected President. Hon. John II. Bice was unanimously nom inated for re-election to Congress, as Kepresen tative of the Fourth District, Qen. Corcoran at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, August 21. On arrival of General Corcoran at Indepen dence Hull, lie was received by Mayor Hen ry in a patriotic speech, to which the General replied, saying: Permit me to express my heartfelt thanks for this kind and hospitable reception, which is itself sufficient to repay years of suffering. Here in this hall, where birth was given to the declaration of Independence, surrounded by effigies of past statesmen, I can hardly con ceive bow the degenerate sons of those men should endeaver to drag down the edifice for which they gave their lives to the country. Au effort is being made to trample under foot all tile liberty w hich we enjoy. This demon stration has tilled me with joy beyond men tion and lias made me strong enough to till tlie promise I made in the South, that within twenty-four hours after I arrived home I should commence to organize a body of men— all 1 could gather around me—and go at them again. I am proud to be able to say that my countrymen are doing their share and are ever willing to do their share, and 1 may say here to Americans, look out for your laurels, or the Irishmen may pluck them away from you.— For myself 1 am determined to seek no rest until we have restored the Union just as it was. I believe the authorities have now de termined to prosecute the war witli vigor, and II am with them. 1 wish to take but a lew days to recruit, and do not intend to wear my uniform in any other place than on the battle Deni. The General was then introduced to a num ber of citizens. He-cntering liis carnage lie proceeded to the Continental Hotel, where an immense assemblage was gathered. In com pliance with their urgent entreaties, Gen. Cor coran appeared on the balcony, and said he was not vain enough to consider this demon stration a personal compliment, hut only an evidence of the devotion to the noble institu tions under which they live and for which they believe he had suffered. You have turned out to show your appreciation for my efforts to sustain the Constitution from a fate that threatens to engulf it, although 1 was not suc cessful, but soon fell a victim. You would make tne believe that the fittest place for a man to die is where he dies for mail. When 1 have been tried and convicted a felon, these convictions have cheered me. (Loud applause.) I suppose you are here to hear my opinions? (Cries of “That s so.”) I will give them very briefly, as soldiers ought to do. The Southern States have made up their minds not only to take all the territory they now claim to pos sess. but the whole country if you will permit them. Now you have made up your minds not to let them have a foot, unless it is under the protection of the old flag. Now these are my views. I have entered into this light for the maintenance of the laws and the Constitu tion, and 1 am going into the fight again. I am going again to aid in restoring the Consti tution, and 1 would say. gentlemen, that we should allow no infringements on the Consti tution, unless such as arc neenssary. I am iu favor of the President of these United .States, for the time being, Invested with the fullest authority, and if lie encroaches upon the Con stitution and make a tare in it, 1 will not say a word now, but will wait until the war is over and then put a patch on it. (Cries of “Good,” “Capital.”) Citizens, it would be insulting for one like me to presume to dictates to you what course you should pursue. There is not a man in this city or State w ho has not made up liis mind what he shall do. Shall this glorious country be destroyed by a set of fanatics Never (Immense enthusiasm.) Gen. Corcoran then created intense enthusi asm by expressing liis determination to raise a brigade,and received the hearty assurance that he should ha vs a regiment from this city. He said if he had known that this war was going to last so long, he would at the commence ment have entered into a contract to have it put down by the Irish alone; and lie believed they w ould have been successful, as they would have had enough men to crush the reliels at Manassas, and a victory there would have set tled the war. 1 ought perhaps to express myself on out point, and that is, that I have ever lieen a lov er of lila-rty all the world over, anil a hater of despotism, and say now that I would not give tilt- southerners the pleasure of hearing me say, when I was among them, that if your government had infringed on any of the rights ol tlte South, as guaranteed by the Constitu tion. I would have I teen the first to have gone with them. He declared himself a Democrat, but lie would not allow partizanship to inter fere witli his patriotism. He would clasp the hand of any Know-Nothing or Abolitionist who would stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the fight. His remarks were received with the great est enthusiasm. He was followed iu Ids speech by Mr. O'Gorman, after which lie retired to his rooms. This evening he is receiving the visits of a large number of liis countrymen, and citizens generally. He will depart at ten o'clock to-inorrow morning for New York. From Missouri. Skdalia, Mo., Aug 20. Advices from the West are to the effect that the reliel forces under Coffee, Guautrell, Cock rell, Tracy, and others, which were lately menacing Lexington, are in lull retreat south ward. The rebels are 4000 strong, and have two spiked cannon captured from Major Fos ter at Lope Jackson on Friday last. Col. Fitz Henry Warren, of the Iowa Cavalry, and Gen. Uluiit. of the Kansas forces, are in hot pursuit w ith thirty-live hundred troops and 14 pieces of artillery. Yesterday Col. Warren was ten miles north of Johnstown, Hates Co., and Gen. Blunt was twelve miles southwest of him, and both were moving rapidly. The rebels were only one hour ahead of Warren’s cavalry, and there is every prospect that the rebels will be overtaken and captured or badly whipped at the crossing of Osage river. As soon as Col. Houston, the commander at Lexington, heard of the defeat of Major Foster at Lone Jackson, he made energetic preparations for tile defence of that city, and the old fort idea tions were extended to (lie river to enable the troops to get water. All the adjacent build ings which might serve as a shelter of sharp shooters were blown up. Col. Houston also ordered all the hemp in town to be burned, to prevent the rebels from again making hemp bales for breastworks. The warehouses and hemp tints burned were probably worth two hundred thousand dollar*. 'Hie hemp and factory of Mr.. McGrcer alone were worth seventy-live thousand dollars, on which there was au insurance of $2d.(HJ0. The city is now entirely secure against an attack. Indian Troubles. St. Pacl, Minn., Aug. 21. The Indians in Meeker County, this State, being exasperated at the non-reception of the money due thorn from the government, at tacked tlie whites and killed several jiorsons, including men, women ami children. Several i are reported also to have lieeii massacred at the lower Agency. The settlers are alarmed and ure coming down the Minnesota river. Four companies, under command of General Sibley, are ordered to the scene of disturb ance. Fort Donelsou Abandoned. New Yobk, August 21. A special dispatch from Cairo to the Herald states that Fort Donelsou has been abandoned by the Federal*, as large rebel forces was ad vancing. and the post is now valueless, their I being butthirty iuches of water in Cumberland river. From Washington. Washington, August 21. The first payment of postage stamp currcnr cy will be made to-day. The notes are in sheets perforated like stamps. They are on the best bank note pnper. and, therefore, they are more difficult to separate. The public must be cautious in separating them, as muti lation decreases their value in proportion to llie part of the note missing. For some days paymasters will absorb a large share of them. The first delivery of United States notes of the denomination of oue’s and two's were made to-day. It has been ascertained from the State De partment that the current rumors of interven tion or mediation by European powers are all unfounded. There is the highest authority for saying there is no foundation for the statements that Gen. Dix is to be appointed to the com mand at New Orleans, or that Keverdy John son is to go there as military governor. Major Fitz Hugh, Gen. Stuart's chief of staff, hits readied Washington from Fredericksburg. He was captured by a portion of General Bu ford's Cavalry on Monday last.about five miles from Louisa Court House, Va. Yesterday 340 convalescent soldiers were forwarded from the Soldier's Best to tltcir reg iments. Quite a large number also left to-day. Keturned prisoners say the rebel authorities are by no means relaxing their efforts to com plete the fortifications around Richmond, on ten of which as many laborers are now em ployed as can work to advantage. A colony of colored persons to settle Cen tra] America, is being raised here. Quite a number are engaged in the enterprise. The National intelligencer demands a trial for Gen. Stone. The Secretary of Treasury' has decided an apjieal that the duty of ten cents per pound was properly assessed on shellac under the act of August 1802, and also forty [ter centum ad valorem on poplin stutls. The appraizers on examination of the article in question deter mining it to be silk, cotton and worsted, silk the chief value. The President has authorized Gov. Stanley to order the election of Representatives in Congress for the first and second Districts of North Carolina. The Navy Department has ordered Lieut Commanding West to the receiving ship North ■Carolina; Acting Assistant Paymaster N. M. Whittemore, to the store ship Win. Badger; Acting Assistant Paymaster Daniel Harmon, to the steamer Underwriter; Acting Assistant Paymaster Samuel Henderson, to the steamer Jacob Bell; Acting Assistant Paymaster Henry Russell, to the steamer Morse. Hon. Moses F. Odell is here looking to the comfort of the volunteers from Brooklyn, and assisting the returned prisoners to procure settlements of their accounts. Humored Disaster to Pope’s Army. New York, Aug. 21. Mi'lni'/ht.—Various rumors are afloat here relative to army movements, some of them stating disaster, Imt.the war department will not allow anything relative to the movements of our army to be telegraphed. From Tennessee. Nashville, August 21. Yesterday noon Capt. Atkinson, of the 50th Ohio regiment, with 20 men in a stockade at Edgefield Junction, was attacked by 1000 guerillas, lie repulsed them three times, kill ing Morgan's Adjutant, 7 privates, wounding IK. and finally, alter three hours lighting, drove them oil'. Col. Mason, of the 71st Ohio regiment,—the same regiment that was denounced by Gen. Sherman for cowardice at Shiloh,—with :inn men, 2 cannon, and in strong entrenchments at Clarkesville, surrendered without resistance to tlie same number of guerillas. The guerillas were aided by rebels who had taken the oath of allegiance. A large amount of United States property was seized and 100 soldiers captured by guer illas at Mauskoor Creek, near Edgefield Junc tion, and the bridge burned. Gen. Nelson let! Nashville for Louisville this morning. Kcbsellville, August 21. All that is known here ot the capture of Clarksville is that Col. Mason surrendered his whole command to a guerilla forVe under J. K. Johnson, Woodward and Garth. The most reliable reports represent Mason's force at 290; that of the rebels from 400 to 600. Not a gun was tired. Mason and his men were paroled and went down the river. Second IHnpntch..—Further information flfrmi Clarksville shows'the surrender to have been the most disgraceful and cowardly affair of the war. The paroled officers were allowed to carry off their horses and side arms. The sur render was made to an inferior force of rebel cavalry, and Mason and Woodward made speeches complimenting each other. Various Matters. Philadelphia, August 21. The iron-clad frigate Ironsides left to-day on her first cruise. Gen. Corcoran arrived here to-day, and was received with a boisterous welcome and es corted to Independence Hall, there to be wel comed officially by the Mayor. Harrisburg, Pa.. Aug. 21. By orders received from the War Depart ment, Surgeon General Smith is directed to instruct surgeons to examine persons claiming exemption with reference to their ability to fight and d other duty, and that under this order those claiming exemption on account of various disorders will stand but a poor chance. Su geons will Ik- at once selected for the various counties, and sworn to jierform their duty without fear or favor. No certifi cates of physicians or affidavits of disease by persons afflicted will be regarded by examining physicians. New York, August 21. A complimentary dinner was given to-night to Gen. Wilson at the A t heme um Club. Gen. Mitchell and other distinguished jtersoiis were present. New York, August 21. The steamer Massachusetts rcjnuts the health of the sqttadron at Port Koyal, Charles ton, «&c., as good. On the night of the 19th, she saw a steamer ashore on Cape Henry, supposed to be the Arago. She got off before assistance could be rendered and stood up the Chesapeake. None of Gen. McClellan's friends here know anything of the intention on his jiart to resign, as is intimated in Hartford papers. It is be lieved to be untrue. war f acts ana fiumors. New York, Aug. 21. The Commercial says there are rumors of disaster to Gen. Pope. We have in vain tried to trace them to a reliable source. A gentle man largely in the confidence of the Adminis tration, tfho left Washington yesterday, and who conversed with the President and Secre tary of War late as o P. M., assures us they had no such intelligence. We hope the re ports are wholly untrue. Cincinnati, August 21. The Mayor of Henderson, Ky., has tied to the rebel army. The entire City Council has been arrested for refusing to take the oath of allegiance, but were released upon resigning and giving bonds in $5000 each. The proper ty of the Mayor was seized and a new election ordered. Ten Indiana regiments and four companies of cavalry, have gone into Kentucky and two other regiments are expected to leave the first of the W'eek. New York Market. New York, August 21.
