Something OF the spirit of the Lincoln lenders IN
this State may be seen in the following permit,
issued by the Provost Marshal Of Louisville, toa
lady who was fortunate enough to obtain the consent
Of the General commanding" in that city to escape
from the presence of the ignorant and brutal mob,
who recognized him their chief, on any terms
As special favor, she was permitted to go from
Louisville to village in Kentucky, and on the Ohio
river taking oath to support the Constitution
of the United States to be and loyal to the Uni
ted States and to Kentucky and not to give aid or
comfort to THERE enemies Here is copy OF the
pernit" the original OF which is in my possession,
and will be kept by me until have it in my power
to give Mr. Dent Provost Marshall of louisville late
Chief Of Police in that city, an opportunity to at
tempt justification of the atrocous conduct he has
been guilty of, for Lincoln's gold:
''By order of the Commanding General, Mrs.
- is allowed to pass from Louisville to Glover
port Ky, by steamer she having taken the oath to
support the Constitution of the United States and
to be true and loyal to the United States and to the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, and that she will not
divuge reveal any thing that she may see OF hear
within lines, or give any aid or comfort to our
enemies.

louisville, KY, Oct II, 1861"
1t is enough to mantle the cheek of any Kentuc-
khan with shame, to know that here, once the home
of chyalry celebrated for its gaantry, whose brave
men and fair women have been boast in every land,
the fareSt women in the State are required to ob.
tain pass IRON such mercenares as Henry Dent,
couched in language similar to that which mas
tiers accustomed to give to their slaves before
beng permitted to leave their homes 1t will not
be so long.

The troops at this post were reviewed here by the
