history Of Kentucky. What mere fitting source
from whence should spring the chosen leader of
Kentueky's braves, fog such he undoubtedly is.
Well may he say in his proclamation to the people
of Kentucky, al love the wild hills and beautiful
valleys of my native land, for whe1 from the tops
Of those hills and along the valleys the intelligence
went forth that he had crossed the border and made
known his purpose, every true son and daughter of
"the dark and bloody ground" knew that ere long
they might exclaim, as does the sentinel from the
watch-tower, "all is well.'
Fordiy and confdingly do they regard him as their
deliverer from the gives of abolition fansticism,
which fsithless Federal aud State Legislature has
attempted to fasten upon them, nstigated to their
action by the venality and diabolical genius Of
PRENTICE, who, true to his Puritanical instincts,
would eloat over the ruin which he had hoped to
effect BY inauguratng civil war in State where he
knows his days are numbered. Gen. BuoKNER, who
has Just completed his fortieth year, is full six feet
in height of rather spare build, and well knit
frame, with complexion evidsncing habits of regs
plarity, temperance, and prudent exercise, while
his prematurely whitening hair gives unmiItakable
assurances Of intense mental labor, consequent
upon the eathralled condition Of his native heather
from which he now so earnestly and nobly seeks to
redeem it. OF commanding mein and perfect
military bearing, with clear blue eye beaming
steadily yet serene, and mouth indicating extra
ordinary frmness and determination Of pUr-
pose yet yielding in the social circle to as
fascinating smile as was ever beheld, he
presents the happy embodiment of warrior
in the field sage adviser in counsel modest gen.
tleman in the most refined and elevated society. His
ability as writer has been established by various
able contributions to the press while his military
capacity was bat recently confirmed in the uost

Secretary msmnainger,s Letter.

We publish this morning the able lette of Secre-
tary MEMXTNGER on the Produce loan and the ques
ton of Government advancing on cotton The Sec
retary's views Gte based upon sound principles Of
political economy. There is no prluciple better es-
ta5l.hed than that an increase Of the circulating
medium dePTeciatesits value in proportion to the in.
crease Upon this principle, he thinks it unsafe tor
the Government to extend the issue of treasury
notes beyond the amount required by the actual
necessities Of the Government, even if it were not
unauthorized by the constitution. Leaving out Ct
view this TACT which might be remediea by an
amendment to the Provisional constitution he mo-
caeds to demonstrate that the expansion of Govern
msnt issues TO the enormous amount requlred
by the advocates Of purchasing the whole cotton
crop, or making large advances thereon, would
soon destroy or impair the credit Of cur youthful
Government whose resources should be carefully
husbsnded, fer the ezigencies Of the war. Unless
ths credit Of the Government is preserved, com.
meree and agriculture, together with the great In
tsrests of eur Government, seeking to MAINTAIN its
iulesendence must totter.
These are important considerations, and commend
themselves to the judgment Of thinking men.
Blu. what cln be done for the cotton planter,
whose only resource IS cut of by the blockade :!
He answers BY saying, he rust practice strict cCon.
omy, make his clothing and food, and for the as
sistance that he is compelled to ask, outside Of his
own resources, he must look to advances en- his
crop, by the banks, which, it Is recommended should
deal as literally as their means viii permit.
These views appear to be based on sound raas-
Oniug and an intimate practical ecqusiatsnce with
finance and trade.
We commend them to the thoughtful attention OF
The public.

of fifty or sixty miles, where we will encounter
about two or three thousand of the Linceln follow

and fine spirits aud are ANXIOUS for the onslaught
and as we consider ourselves the nVincibles Il have

is natural fertilization, and its occupation by
Confederate troops is regarded as important hence

From the Army OF Ihe Potomac.


We are enabled to lay before our readers full
confirmation of the report that army has fallen
back from Fairfax Court House, with the object
doubtless, of obtaining better position. The fol-
lowing dispatch, received last night from our sPe-
ciRl correspondent is approved by the highest al
thoTity in the army:
"ARxY OF tbs PnToWAc, Oct T.-Our army fell
back from Fairfax on Tuesday nigat, between
twelve O'Clock and daylight The movement wIs
well regulated, expeditions and orderly. If the
object was to obtain better position, the move
ment has been decidedly successful. It would Ger
tainly be impoltic to fgdt, should the enemy Offer
battle, immediately under their fortiacations. Our
pickets still hold Fairfax, from whence majority
Of the residents have retired. The camps are quiet
and seem settled as before"
The report circulated on Wednesday Of the burn
ing of Fairfax Court House. was an eXaggeration.
We learn that some sheds. used BY the coumissa-
rist, were destroyed, 10 prevent their occupation
By the enemy, In the event OF 81 advance upon the
place.

The intelligence from Fairfax, brought yesterday
by the Central train, presents 10 new festure OF lm
p0rtauce. There is no confirmation Of the reported
advance Of the enemy upon oar lines, and no fight
had taken place, except the usual exchange of com
pliments between the pckets, which has proved IA
tai IN tive Or three instances on both siGcs.
From tie Lynchburg Republican, Oct 10.
We have nothing further from Manassas than the
report that our pIckets we're driven from Fairfax
Court House Thursday, and the place IS now occu-
pied by the enemy, who continue their advance
with the same slowness and caution they have here
tofOre shown. It isnOw GsceFtaine3 from prisoners
that their numbers advancing upon cur lines have
been greatly exaggerated. They are said not TO
exceed so eco. What has become Of the remainder
Of their army Is net known, though L e cCDjeCtured
that it will advance from Gen. Banks position,
crossing the Potomac g. Aarpers Ferry, and, com
log down the Valley, attempt to take eur army in
the rear. We have every reason 10 believe that the
plans Of the enemy, whatever thGy may be, are
known to our Generals, and that they are prepared
TO meet them. 4 report was current yesterday that
orders had been issued TO tear up the track Of the
Orange railroad from Fairfax station to the neigh
