An Outrageous Murder --We learn by a gentleman just arrived from Hartford, in Ohio county, Ky., says the Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 12th inst, that Netta and his company, of Whippoorwill bridge burning notoriety, reached that place Saturday night. On Sunday morning he took seven of his men and went to the residence of Isaac Morton, in the town, to arrest his son William. Morton said he would not be arrested, whereupon Netta ordered his men to shoot him, which they did. Morton fell, pierced by six bullets, and died immediately. Before the order to fire could he obeyed, Morton drew a pistol and shot Netta, but unfortunately the ball, passing through his hand, which was raised, and entering the side of his breast, struck a rib and glanced around. Mr. Morton's only offence was Southern sympathy. This Netta is an unmitigated villain, and if he does not "hear a charmed life" he will soon fall before some chosen wrath.

nd American, of the 7th inst., write: An order has been issued by the commanding General of this post, warning citizens, women and children of the imminence of an early engagement, and advising them to remove from the city before the occurrence of actual hostilities. Dwelling-houses in front of the fortifications are to be vacated by the present tenants, and either be used for defence or destroyed, as the occasion may require. A brilliant skirmish occurred at Boland's Ferry, in Ohio county, day before yesterday. Lieut. Heint, of the army guides, left here Tuesday for the ferry, in command of ten men, and was joined on the route by an independent company from Germantown, Tenn. A number of Dutch have for a long time been stationed near the river for the protection of the ferry, and to aid in the crossing of stock stolen from citizens living on the south side of the stream. The party reached the river at day dawn Wednesday morning and advanced in two squads from different d

disposed every day to continue the hirelings of Abe Lincoln. Indeed, we have a practical illustration of the disaffection existing among Crittenden's forces in the frequent arrivals of squads at this place. This same gentleman brings most encouraging news of a healthy reaction in several counties in Kentucky. In Davis county he assures me that there is a majority of five hundred for the South. In Hancock the same In McLane, where Crittenden is, there is a small Union majority. In Ohio county, which has been altogether Union, the majority is now insignificant. In Henderson the South has five hundred majority. In Breckinridge the friends of the South exceed the friends of Lincoln. The difference between the Kentuckians fighting for the South and those who have taken up arms for the Washington despotism, cannot be more clearly illustrated than by referring to the combat at Sacramento. One hundred and fifty Southern Kentuckians were opposed to three hundred and fifty Nort

Latest Northern news.Progress of the war. We are in possession of Northern papers up to the 28th inst. From them we gather the following: The East of Virginia Traitors — slave emancipation. Wheeling, Jan. 27. --In the State Constitutional Convention to-day Mr. Buttelle, of Ohio county, offered the following proposition relative to slavery in the new State of Virginia: "No slaves shall be brought into this State for permanent residence after the adoption of the constitution. All children born of slave parents in this State on and after the 4th of July, 1865, shall be free. The Legislature may provide general laws for their apprenticeship during minority and subsequent colonization," It was referred to the Committee on General Provisions, which committee will probably report some time this week. It is not expected, however, that the committee will report any provision of the above character, the majority of the members being averse to the consideration of

airs in Pierpont's dominions.--That demagogue, who by accident presides over the people of Northwestern Virginia, is exercising a tyranny more odious and oppressive, if possible, than that of his master, Lincoln. A short time since, Judge George W. Thompson, of the Wheeling Judicial Circuit, was released from a long and tedious imprisonment at Camp Chase, and returned to his home in Wheeling. The day after his arrival, Pierpont had him re-arrested, and at last accounts he was still in prison. Hon. Lewis Steenrod, another prominent citizen of Ohio county, was arrested by order of Pierpont on the same day.--Mr. S. has been in exceedingly delicate health for some time, and his recovery is not regarded possisible, yet Pierpont was unfeeling enough to send him word that he intended to make him take the oath of allegiance before he died. Other acts of oppression are related, which have caused the loyal people of that section to long more earnestly than ever for the day of deliverance.
