Old Abe's Ken lucky Regiments.

"A correspondent of the Frankfort
Yeoman puts different face upon that
matter of the two Kentucky regimen is
for Old Abe. In justice to Kentucky
we copy it:
CINCINNATI, May 6, 1861 Editor Of
the Yeoman-Dear .Sir.-You have
doubtless seen notices oftwo kentucky
regiments forming near this city, to
engage in Lincoln's unholy war against
the men of the South. They are locat-
ed at Camp Clay (named in honor of
Cassius, | suppose) just above the city.
This mornings dispatches from Wash
ington notice the acceptance by Mr..
Lincoln; and the people of Kentucky
should understand what sort of an or
ganization it is that claims their name,
for Kentucky has a reputation in arms
which might be effected by these two
regiments.
We are told Col. w. G.. Tcrrill
commands one, and Col. j. V. Guthrie
the other, neither of whom is Ken
tuckian, or has the slightest claim to
the title. Guthrie is an Ohioan, who
rented house and lived over in New
port for few months, where he dis
tinguished himself as being the rankest
sort Of secessionist, fighting with all
his might against Col. Jones and other
distinguished leaders of the Union party
there, until the war began, when he
up traps and moved back again to this
State. Terrill is Black Republican,,
until recently editor of dirty Adolf
tion sheet in Northern Indiana, in which
business he failed to make either money
or reputation. He hires house for
his family in Newport, but lives HIM
self in this city, taking his meals as
they are furnished, gratuitousLy, at
we'll known gambling house on Vine
street, above Fourth.
1t is said, and with some show of
truth, believe, that he turns IAN honest
penny by hanging round the hotels of
the city as drummer for the aforesaid
He'll" Certain it is, he has no other
visible employment. His courage has
been doubted and if he can muster
resolution to leave here, the proba-
bility is, that there will be fewer
deposits from strangers visiting the
city in the Faro Bank upon which
they may congratulate themselves.
The men, if any, in reality, there
be, are generally picked up from
those lying loose about the wharves
and dens Of .infamy of this city, with,
perhaps, a few Dutch, and inconsiderate
youths from Newport. It is said that
some Of them walk wide,' like Il por-
ton Of Falstaff's men.
I trust that the people Of your State
will not be anxious about these men,
as Kentuckians have been heretofore,
when their gallant troops were in the
field, and that your Legislature will
not go to the expense Of recovering
their carcasses, as it did the bodies Of
kentucky's heroes in the wars with
England and Mexico.

Cutting the Leree.-The Memphis
Appeal has the following in regard to
the attempt to cut the levee of the Mis-
sissipi at Friar's Point.
Mr.. Orne, passenger up the river
by the Mary Keene, gave information
that on Sunday night the levee below
Friar's Point had been cut. The water
rushed over, and has washed away the
levee for n long distance from the point
originally cut, and water was inunda-
ting the crops, carrying destruction
around. Three white men were de-
tected, day or two previous, attempt
ing the fendish work of destruction,
and fired at, but they escaped. Later
in the evening two skitfs were seen at
point lower down, floating silently by
in the darkness. They were fired at,
but the result was not known. Our in
formation on this subject is scanty, but
we presume the above to be the facts.
Citizens having property below were
suffering great anxiety yesterday, and
were inquiring for boats to go down.

AHOrrible Death

A distressing calamity occurred at La
porte, Indiana on the evening Of the 4th.
A girl named Kata Griffin attempted to fill
fluid lamp while it was burning, and the
stream of fluid caught fire, communicating
to the bottle and to the girls clothes; she
threw down the bottle and lamp, and rush.
ed into the street, but did not give an alarm
for some seconds. People standing near
by saw the fire, but as the girl did not
scream, they attributed the light to fire
works and turned their attention to the pY-
rotechnic displays that were goirg on in
the town. A Mr.. Harris, however, discov-
cred that the singular light was woman
on fire, and giving the alarm, rushed to her
relief, but before they could do anything
for her, the girl was literally burned up;
surviving only about two hours after they
stripped her of the few threads of clothing
she still had upon her and carried her into
the houser. The onion says when Mr.. H.
attempted to lift the body from the ground
so thoroughly cooked was her flesh that it
actually slipped from the bones of her
arms. And upon the board fence against
which she had been leaning just before she
fell to the ground, the blood and cooked
flesh Of her shoulders were plainly visible
the next morning. After the people began
to gather around the poor girl her shrieks
of misery and imporunities relief were most
agoniziDg and heart rending; hundreds
turned away in perfect horror of the spec
lacle.

EOur BrOthA.,,

People may not be generally aware
that we are the only child of our respect
ed parents. Tradition hath it, that when
we were some weeks old, our dad and nam
gathered about us for the purpose of cal
culating as near as possible what We were
likely to turn out to be. When the In
spection ended, they were confoundedly
discouraged, and per consequence the gen.
Grafton of Clark, at least in our fathers
family, ceased with us. Notwithstanding,
we have had sort Of hankering to own a
brother 'according to the flesh, and short
time since we found one. 1t happened in
this wise:
The other day we went some three miles
into the country for the purpose of seeing

informed that he was in certain lot
which was pointed out to us. We went
to the place indicated, and not being able
to perceive the person for whom we were
in search, we ascended a fence hard by to
aid us in our observations. From this
point of view we saw a man in his shirt
sleeves standing in an adjacent field, and,
initiating our lungs, we sent forth loud
halloo! Apparently we were not heard, as
no movement of the person greeted our
eyes, or answering shout saluted our ears.
Once more we rent the air with our voice.
No return. Again sucking in about fifteen
gallons of the atmosphere, we were about
to expand it in regular steam whistle

beheld lad about eight years old, hatless

THE TRUE SPIRIT.

The eloquent and patriotic speech OF Mr.. Holt
Of Kentucky, which We published yesterday,
must commend itself to the lovers of their coun-
try everywhere, while its stirring appeals cannot
fail to exercise strong and Wholesome influence
in that particular region where they were made,
and where, we believe, they are 90 much
needed, That such inculcatlOns are specially
needed there, though on this point we may dis
agree with the orator, while, at the same time.
We hope that he is right, and We are wrong
We know there are loyal men in Kentucky, and
we honor them for their courage aud patriotism;
but we fear they are as yet in large minority
II IT be true that " not many weeks can eispse
before this powerful Commonwealth will make
an exutant avOwal of her loyalty, and will
"stand erect before the country, stainless aud
true, as the truest OF her sisters of the Union"
III expectations so cheerful as these may be
entertained, the shadow Of the coming
event should, it seems to us, be al.
ready visible. We know there are very poble
exceptions in the general conduct Of the people
of Kentucky, but the attitude of the State at
large has been heretofore quite as injurious to
the cause of the Union, if not more So than
any of the openly REASONABLE States While she
has persistently and insutiDgly refused to render
it any aid, abe has been neutral ground, held
open for the benefit of our enemies. We hope
Mr.. Holt is right in believing that the Union
party Of the State is so strong that only few
weeks will elap'e ere she makes 40 exutant
"avowal Of her lcyalty;" but there must be
great apparent change ere that Gun happen.
| But the tone Of Mr.. Holts speech should put
To the blush the low, sordid souls-we believe

institutions, all that they have cost in the life of
the past, oil that is dependent upon them in the
hopes Of the future. The frank confidence in
the Administration which casts aside all fear
OF usdrpatiOD, and the generosity which
will not stop to think Of economy at so moment
Gus a crisis in our history, show temper which
none of us are so patriotic that its cultivation
may not be commended TO us. We believe, how.
ever, that the country is fast coming 10 that
state Of mind-the only truly loyal one with
which to consider this subject-that it will main.
tain, with Mr.. Holt, 81 that the system of arith-
" metic has yet to be invented that can estimate
4" in dollars and cents the worth of our institu-
" tions.' We have foe TO contend with whose
courage, whose earnestness, and whose resources
for at lenst one year, it is the very faulty Of
madness for US to underrate. They are only to
be met in a spirit which cannot stop to count
the cost of defeat, but which places ali iDestima-
bic value on that which is to be defended.
