Our militia can not be required to drill every day
In cities and twice or thrice week in the country,
without a law authorizing the Governor to enforce
it. We approve of the plan. We deem it, not only
desirable, but necessary, in the present emergency.
But the Legislature must act in the matter be-
fore the Governor can enforce such an order. A
correspondent, who writes on this subject, should
invoke, the Legislature to pass an act authorizing
and requiring these drills, with penalties. We
will join him in advocating the measure.
A hint ia sufficient, or ought to be.

To the People Of Nicholas County and
Eighth (AshIsndJ Congregational District,
Kentucky.
BovLINg GBEny XIV Nov 81 I6s


The position in which have been Unexpectedly
placed in the Provisional Government by the gal
liant soldiers in the Confederate army and exiles
from your county and District would aeem to re.
quire some explanation 1t my hands.
First: By our Kentucky soldiers and eViles | was
unanimously elected OF choSen 10 Represents she
county Of Nicholas in the convention held at Rus
seville the lSIh inst for the purpose Of easab
lilhinE q Provisional Government attended that
convention and with many Of our able and prom
inent citizens took bold ground for the immediate
establishment Of zach 3 government / did got
hesitate or doubt for moment as TO the ne
cessity and proprsy Of the movement, and
hence concprrsd fEly with them in their deliber1-
tons.
KY course seems to have been Internationally
appreciated by my friends in that convention, and
the result WGI I was nominated by the unanimous
concurrence Of the members from our diGtrict and
elected By the unanimous voice Of the convention
a. one OF the ten Legislative Councilman (there
being one chosen from each Congressional DiItrict)
TO the Governor. can only say that while Jun,
dertAke tbs duties Of this responsible position with
mEgiVingS and diitrust ~ to my ability 20 do jus
ticS 70 you, yet will labor earnestly knd faithfully
for the promotion Of the interests OF she whole
people Of our District and State. Ard jult here
pardon me for saying that since all Constitutional
Governments has been set aside by the Eedeya! Coz
SrnDlsst, in Kentucky, l have no dOubt but this
Provisional Governments will be the one universally
recognized By the whole State in less than twelvs
months l cannot give you Su the reasons why
think so in this communicsticn-au is TO say
for the present, that have now been in the South
nesr year lever since the Declaration Of hide
pendence wah made by the South

NEAR GALLATTx, Dec. 1851.
Eiit0rS Uai)n d7d American DEAR SIKs-LeaT
ing Camp jim Davis early this morning We arrived
at Sandy Barnes, shout P. II. The race which is
to come off on Friday nexI We shall be eager wit
nesseE Of, and in the mean time Ahall have one or
! two small races Of our own, in which however
there is nothing stsked but little personal pride
and pitiful ambition. There can be no Bull (Run)
races here nothing but genuine horse race for
greedy gain, and some others oftwo legged ns.s
not longer winded than quarter.
This world rolls round once in every twenty.four
hours and every time brings some Talleyrand on
top. And as the car of our revolution progresses,
various fortunes turn of the wheels, turn under,
turn over again, and some don's turn out at all.
| Do you know Sandy Barnes? Hs is rare speci.
men Of the genus homo. Tall, straight and long
legged, he delights in four mile heats and heavy
chances. Nirthful, free AID thrifty, il he wins
one treat and loses another is is all the same
to him, but in the first instance, will be sure
to make you pay it. Devoted "Seeeshu in princi-
pie, he hates Yankee and would sooner slsy him
than eat his dinner. Hospitsbe and kind, he gives
free quarters to his friends, and did Artcularly
so to rs.
IfyOu can snatch two hours tims away, come
up to the race on Friday, and besides will ensure
you hospitable reception Oh the part of Col BES
NET and Major SMITH. take the liberty Of this
from ths known character Of these two gentlemen
which every man, private or subordinate, under
their command will testify 10.
We are lodging tonight IN comfortable atable
rooms. Men. in a worthy cause, should be in the
right plsce, and we don't fancy the idea of going
into tents tomorrow night However, whatever
suits the Southern Confeder&cy suits Us. and we sre
determined to be sItis6ed, provided our az is a
good one for liberty and independence.
Provided we don't go up the road too soon, will
write you another rigmarols from Camp Sandy
| Barnes. TRLUBAE

"Ion," Of the Baltimore San, writes that journal
from Washington on the 18th az follows:
A rumor prevails in commercial circles that the
Secretary Of the Treasury will recommend in his
report az the opening of Congress a considerable
increase in the rates Of duties upon various arti-
cles, and especially sugar. This has crested some
discontent among importers, who have expected =
revival of the import trade after some time. The
messureis however, highly approved by the friends
men. It il urged that upon the revival of the i'm
port trade gold must go out and that this will Gre
ate financial panic in New York and em6arr as
the operations Of the Treasury during the next
spring when loans will be wanted.
Is is also urged that heavy, If not prohlbitive
duty on iron wOOlena &C., viii greatly encourage
domestic industry, and enable the people to pay in
tsrnA taxes, without Inconvenience. In return for
protection, the manufacturers must pay excise du
ties upon their products. This Was Mr.. Guthrio's
theory when Secretary OF the Treasury.
The gross product Of manufacturing industry
was then estimated st thirteen hundred millions
since which time it hiss been increased II the rev
enus from imports be farther reduced, internal
taxation must be increased and it must fall upon
the favored interests
It is also rumored that the administration will
propose to Congress the adoption Of . Dea nsca
system. whereby the Independents treasury iystem
will be substantially abandoned, and national pa
per currency, founded upon the credit Of the Cow
eminent, be created. Treasury notes, payable to
bearer, Of the denomination of FIVE dollars and up
wards will probably become substitute for local
bank paper.
Some prominent Republican Senators favor pro-
Jet for the estGhlishment Of national bank, a.
fiscal agent Of the Government, bus others would
prefer treasury bank. When this entire system
shall be established, the strength Of the Federal
Government will be augmented. 10 facI there are
signs that the Government will become rapidly
consolidated and centralized

The REBEL EVACUATION OF GALVESTON Cor.
FIRNED-THE REAsoN-The Houston Telegraph
of the I'd inst, states that Galveston has been
evacuated and the movable property, public
and private, was being removed to Houston.-
Hon. w. P. Hill arrived home few days ago,
from whom We gain substantially the following
facts
On the goth ult., o council Of war was held at
Galveston, at which it was determined that it
was impossible to defend the city successfully.
The largest guns at the Notifications upon the
Island were 50 FOUNDERS, smooth bores having
a range not exceeding two miles, while the enc
mys guns were of the largest calibre, shooting
with accuracy three or four miles. To await an
attack was simply to invite the surrender or de.
struction of our troops and the city, without the
power Of inflicting injury upon the assailants It
was thought best, therefore, under all the cir
cumstances, to evacuate Galveston, and occupy
position in the rear Of the city, so a. to repel
any advance Of the Federal troops after they
had landed.
In consequence of this determination, an or.
der was issued for the removal of all tho hospi
tai patients from Galveston to Houston, which
was accomplished Immediately. All the public
aud private property was being rapidly remov.
ed to Houston, when Judge Hill left Galveston.
The proprietor of the News had rented house
In Houston, and announced that his next issue
would be printed in that city, and all other
Newspaper establishments, It IS supposed, have
done the same. The guns hsve been removed
from the different Notifications, and the troops
have fallen back to the terminus of the railroad
bridge on the island, and still larger force sta
toned at Virginia Point, on the maia land.
It seems that Gen. Herbert has been notified
of contemplated attack, but ID not advised q
to the point that may be first assailed.
