The town Of GuyandOtte, on the Virginia side
Of the Ohio river, few miles above Gallipolis,
has been laid in ashes. There were undonbted-
ly loyal inhabitants in the town, and it is pity
that they were made to suffer alike with rebel
citizens in the loss of homes and property.
Otherwise, the destruction of GuyaDdotte is lit
tie to be regretted, If 1t be true that plot was
laid and carried into execution between the rebel
citizens and the rebel troops in the vicinity, to
massacre our soldieru in the houses Of citizens,
whittier they had been invited to partake Of
their hospitality. Such treachery deserves, as
il seems IL has received in the case Of the Guy.
andotte rebels, summary vengeance.

Gen. NELSON'S victory in KentncEys

The glorious victory of Gen. NELSON over
the rebels on the 9Th inst, ct Piketon, KY, Is
some compensation for the ill-starred assault
two. days before upon Belmont no. -Four
hundred rebels are reported killed at Piksto.u,
and one thousand taken prisoners. Such news
10 almost too good to be true; but We beseech
the telegraph to be merciful. and not decrease
but rather increase the Dimensions of this
Union victory. .s,,i .i &. y T, ~, -,
It is gratifying togee that the Second Ohio

achieving this great success for the Union
cause. May it be but the first fruiIs Of a bril-

FoRrREss MoNRoE.-This Publication
was built under the direction Of General
Bernad, one of Napoleon's principal off
GERS, and considered one of the most skill
ful Of then existing engineers. He pro-
jected this and Fortress Calhoun, in lS-
] 9; and the forts were commenced in H.
10. Tie building of the fort was caused
by the invasion of the British in the war
Of 1924, as it was found that Chesa-
peake Bay was the key Of all the waters
of Virginia and Maryland, for in that war
the British not only took the town Of An
napolis, but threatened TO apply the torch
to Norfolk. They also destroyed Wash
ington and bombarded fort McIIenry, Bal
timore, from which they were however re-
pulsed. The extent of Fortress Monroe
may be judged from the fact that it is
over one mile around the ramparts; the
walls covers space of twenty or twenty
five acres. The parade ground covers a
space of fifteen or twenty acres, and the
entire space within the walls is over sew
enty-five acres. Though the fort is in a
state capable of defence, it is far from be-
ing finished yet it is called the finest for
LITIGATION in the United States.

State Neutrality.

The Legislature Of Kentucky by a de-
cided vote has rejected resolution en-
dorsing Gov. Magofin's proclamation and
declaring that it indicates the true posi-
ton the State should occupy in the pres
ent contest. Gov. Magofin's proclama-
ton declares that Kentucky will occupy
q position Of neutrality, and it is that po-
sition the Legislature repudiates. The
vote given in the State two or three weeks
ago shows conclusively that the people Of
Kentucky are still loyal TO the Union
They repudiate all secession and all union
with secessionsts And now this vote
of their representatives shows just as con-
clusively chat they rcpudiate the doctrine
of neutrality, which in this case is but
the halfway house to secession. The
Governor has done his utmost TO carry
the State over to the rebels, but failed !;
he has now attempted to carry it to the
halfway house, and has rs ingloriously
failed in that too. The public sentiment
of the State will neither permit him to
do one thing Or the other, 1t will in the
end place the State where she belongs,
by the side Of the other loyal States, do
ing her utmost to maintain the integrity
of the Union, and preserve the Federal
government, and it will force the Cover
nor to declare himself for the Union, I'M
less he should sooner "'secede" from the
State and take refuge with the rebels at
Montgomery. 'l iaa
The doctrine Of a State preserving neu-
trality in such an emergency as this is an
impossibility. There can be no such a
thing. In war for the Union and the
constitutions war on which depend the
liberty and prosperity of the country and
the very existence of the government
in such war all who are not for the
Union are against it. The plain fact is,
that neutrality by those who desire it is
but long step to secession, and the gov.
eminent must necessarily so regard it.
Tho purpose of those who desire it in
Kentucky is evident. The Governor has
refused, in no loyal terms, to respond tC
the call Of the President for troops, ant
not only that, but has permitted, il no
openly encouraged, men and munitions t.
move forward 10 the aid of the rebels
That is what they mean by neutrality
and il is such that the Federal govern
ment must allow if it recognizes neutral
ity at all either in Kentucky or any 9th.
