The Right kind of Talk.

The following comments on the action of
the confederate troops, in taking possession
of Hickman and Columbus, Kentucky, we
find in the Louisville Journal. 1t will be
seen that the veteran editor and sterling pa
triot at the head of that paper, is fully pre-
pared for the issue thus forced upon the
Unionists of his beloved State:
A Confederate army from Tennessee has
taken possession of Hickman and Chalk
Bluffs, in Kentucky, and are erecting forth
ications at those places. Many of our citi-
zens, no doubt, have fully anticipated this
audacious movement We have been daily
expecting it for nearly two weeks. 1t
brings matters at once to a point. Either
4 the Confederate troops must be withdrawn
from Kentucky, or the issue of battle is
made up.
The Geographic correspondence between
Gov. Magofin and Gov. Harris upon the oe-
cupation of Kentucky by the Confederate
troops from Tennessee, is before the public.
Gov Harris refers the matter to President
Davis. Whether Davis will order the with
drawal of the troops from Kentucky except
upon tie condition of the disbanding of the
encampments of soldiers in Garrard, &C.,
under the authority of the United States,
remains to be seen. We trust that he will.
Kentucky will do no parleying upon the
| subject. Anxious as she is for peace, she
must and will, backed by all the strength at
her command, endeavor to rescue her soil
from invasion. Were she to do less, she
would be dishonored in the eyes of man
kind. Were she to do less, it would be-
come singing reproach to be called a
Kentuckian. Were she to do less, every
proud son she has would blush for his ma
ternity.
1t may be that the Government of the
Confederate States has deliberately chosen
this method of forcing a war in Kentucky
under the belief that the result of war will
be speedy secession, but we are we'll con-
WINGED that any such belief, if cherished
will be signally disappointed. Let call
go forth from the capital of our State rally
ing the sons of Kentucky to arms to drive
the invaders from her soil, and there will
be such gathering throughout the State
as has yet been known in no State North OF
South Thousands and thousands even o.
those who have been wavering and falter-
ing in their allegiance to the Union would
at such call, feel the old fire rekindled ii
their bosons and rush to the deliverence o
their State from the deep pollution of for
eigu army's tread. Treason then would no
be tolerated within our borders. 1t woulC
be consumed in the burning and on rushing
tide of Dstriotisu

into seven classes one for each night in the
week, and when the lists are completed

duty, to receive notice in writing, forty
eight hours previous to the time of his ser
vice. Substitutes not allowed unless the
name of the intended substitute is reported
to the Superintendent and approved by him
twenty-four hours previous to the time OF

erly kept, and in order that it may at all
times be known who are to serve on any
given night.
The Superintendent to make daily reports
to the Mayor, stating in said reports the
names of the persons who served as patrol
men in the several wards during the previ
Gus night, and also the names of those neg
Letting or refusing to serve, and the names
of those tardy in their attendance, and
those who left their watch previous to their
discharge, and those guilty of negligence or

time of their watch, and stating all arrests
made and the causes thereof and all viola

The Mayor to make weekly reports to
the Council, embracing the substance of all
the information contained in the reports of
the Superintendent.

some suitable place, to be designated by the
Council, and after the calling of the roll by

force.

TIE LOYAL MEN oF SPRINGFIELD AND
THEIR FAMILIEs.-There are in this city
and at Rolla more than one thousand of the
loyal people who were driven from the
southwest by McCulloch and his thieving
gang. Many of them had exhausted their
slender means in order to live, and are now
in a state of restitution. Those who have
been accustomed to live in afauence are
now reduced to comparative beggary.-
Those of them who brought their families
to Rolla suffered from want of provisions,
and their case needs immediate attention.
Accounts which reach us from Spring
field state that the rebels have taken every
thing eatable, drinkable, or portable. Their
clothing, provisions, carpets, and valuables,
have been unceremoniously appropriated.
The wives and families Left behind are on
the point Of starvation, being reduced to the
necessity of picking up the refuse of the
soldiers or ask aims of the secessionists,
whose jeers and taunts are more intolerable
than the restitution.
These citizens cannot return without
fear of being outraged, and their feelings in
regard to their families are becoming
intolerable. IF these people cannot
be returned to their homes with 6
victorious and efficient army, cannot
some means of relief be extended tt
them at once 2 We trust the authorities II
their multitude of duties will not let thi
matter escape their attention.-S. Loui
Democrat.

TIE G. C!,s-The Henderson Mail,

TIE K. G.. C!'s-The Henderson Mail, in
commenting on this secret organization, de-
clares that its intention is evidently the
disruption of our glorious Union for the
purpose of erecting a monarchy upon its
ruins. The organization is powerful and
well managed. ait is made up of three
classes-soldiers or first degree men-.tfrsan-
eiers, second degree, and the third degree,
few in number, direct all its movements
This degree is independent of the other two
degrees, who are their mere serfs, and
worked by them as mere puppets. All are
sworn to oppose for Office any man not of
the third degree-all are saVorn to The insti-
tuition Of a MoNARCHIAL governmental
are sworn to prescribe Catholics and for
eigners." The Mail seems to speak by the
card when it announces that Kentucky is
full of these reckless men, and numbers of
them may be found in the vicinity of Hen
derson. "They resort to every expediency
to get up anarchy and detection toaVards
the government their only purpose being its
destruction" There are few in our city
who seem to be acting, as if under instruc-
tons similar to the above, some of whom
are at Henderson every few days in con-
sultation with those who are known to be
active sympathizers with the rebellion, if
not known as members of the reasonable
organization of the Knights of the Golden
Circle. These secret plotters will do well
to beware. The eyes of honest men are
upon them, and their secret Vaccinations
may terminate in manner to them both
unexpected and unpleasant.

pas~ The Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ion

Bas@ The Cleveland Plain Dealer, long
the Democratic newspaper in Northern Ohio,
says in leader published Saturday:
" We heartily endorse the action of the
Administration in the arrest of women trail
tors, and the suppression of traitorous news
papers. Anything for the success of our arms,
the foiling of the foe and the salvation of
our country. There are but two classes, two
parties, two sides to this question, and but
two possible results. If the friends of Con-
stitutionaI liberty are united and strong
enough to put down this wicked rebellion,
we have before us ages of stability and great
ness. If beaten in this effort, we may read
our future history in the past of Mexico,
though as much more furious, bloody, and
terrific, as we are more enlightened, ener-
getic, inventive, and powerful. Choose We,
deliberately whether to advance as an unit
in power, peace, intelligence, and all the ele-
ments of greatness, or to tall upon the
sword multitude of bloody factions. If
the former be our election-H the old flag
floats pleasantly in the eye, and the ear is
charmed with the music of the Union, let US
magnanimously criticise, faithfully advise,
honestly, generously, and unwaveringly,
stand by the Constitutionally chosen head
of the Government, in bis unselfish efforts
to crush out this rebellion, by every means
in his power, or that we can put in his pow
