The Editor ofthe Gazette copies, approx
ingly, into the columns of his last issue, the
following paragraph
That highpriest Of abolitionism, Joshua
X. Giddings, has arrived here. and stops at
the National. His advent just as Gen. Fre-
mont is expected looks to consultation by
the ultras of.the Republican party with a
view to concerted action in Congress. IF they
suppose they can shake the mind of the
President upon any well matured dctermi.
nation, they whlsucceed better than did the
some half dozen Senators who came here
some time since to urge another dash upon
Richmond. On their arrival they felt sure
ofachioying their object, but that they were
disappointed is evident from the fact that
they have since denounced the administra-
tion in unm easured terms
We are glad to witness the Improvement
ipthe tone of four cotemporary, but, if Johny
would act like a man, be would say he has
done wrong in the past, in his dcnunciation,
of President Lincoln and playing into
the hands of the Secessionists. But this
will do for a commencement
We have allslons eontended that Presi
dent Lincoln vas firm and consistent States
man and Patriot; that he had the highest
interests Of his country at heart The Gaz
ettc would have it that he was an Abolition
ist, and that he cared more for the Chi
cago Platform than for his country.

~MR. JOHN TwrNEM AS A LETTER
WRITER. The readers of the CHRONICLE
we'll remsmber that, week before last, we
alluded to the fact that Mr.. John Twnem,
Treasurer of this county, had refused to
take Demand Treasury Notes of the farmers
Of this county for their taxes. Mr.. Twinsm
replied to our article, in last weeks CHRoN-
IcLE, in a very ill-natured effusion, in which
he talked about various things, "too tedious
to mention" a. the auctioneer's bills would
say, and wound up by giving the public the
benefit of the perusal of correspondence
which took place between himself and the
State Treasurer. Here is Mr.. Stones letter
to MIR. Twin, m, which we re-publish, en-
bellished with capitals, &C., in the hope that
Mr.. Twinem and his friends, who are pro-
badly not very well versed in plain Saxon,
may be able to deoipher it:

that he wrote another letter inquirinl

The Chicago Tincs wen says. We have al,
ready adgerled TO the necessity Tor the admins
tration 20 bring the State prisoners, now no Fort
Warren, for trial. AS IS shown BIZ the Albany
Ireas, nearly half of the entire number arrested
have been dismissed as quietly as they we've ar-
rested The fair presumption. therefore, IS, that
they were not guilty Of any oHeuse. This fac.
VIII create uueasiuess among the people. twill
cause a much closer scrutiny of the powers exer-
cised by the President than has vet been given
90 chem, and the universal demand wall soon be
to know by what machinery is the information
obtained on which arrests are founded. The sus-
pension of the hqJeas corpus is not the suspension
of an our institutions. Men must always be i'm
plisoneI for legal cause, or their confinement Is
oppressive. If they are spies and traitors, they
should be tried and punished but, whatever
they are, they should be confronted with their
accusers, whether secret enemies OF government
detectives, and be given opportunity to establish
their innocence before the world.

Intelligence from E6cuiUcky.
NASHVILLE, November Ig-The Louisville
Courier has seen q gentleman from Bath county
who participated in the fight near Piketon on
the 18th. lie declares, from his own positive
knowledge, that there Is not a particle Of truth
in the Federal report Of the fight. The fight oc-
Cured at a point on Big Sandy, called the Mar
fifteen miles from Pikctou, where the Ken
tuckaHs were concealed.
When the Fedarals reached an abrupt anglo in
the road, the Kou5uckiaus opened a murderous
tire upon them, which they kept up for half an
hour. The Federsls were signally repulsod, and
withdrew under cover of artillery. The kentuck-
iaus had five killed and eight wounded. A man
who was sent after the fight to ascertain the ox-
OF the enemy's loss reported the actual count
at two hundred and nineteen killed, and about
one hundred and fifty wounded.
