Judge J.ang's Popularity.

Judge Lang, the anti "peace on
any terms candidate for State Senator,
was candidate for Representative in this
county, two years ago, and was beaten
by Gideon Jones, Esq, running some
800 votes behind his ticket, and coming
out fourth in the race. If he runs no
bettsr in other counties than be does in
Seneca. he will be beaten a thousand
votes. .
This same Judge Lang is continually
denouncing the war and the Admins
tration, and says ''the traitors tSouth are

rs Just hear the Louisville Courier, the
ors,n of the Kentucky rebels:
-'.The North is divided-th the South be-
coming united. The people Of the Nor.
thern States are at length beginning to
sawake, and taking decided stand in fa-
xnr of peace aud against the war. The
Democratic party is rapidly reorganizing
aud in every Northern State has refused
to cooperate with the Republican party.
,Asli'e the people of the North are be-
.oming divide i, the Democrats generally
Imposing the war end the Republicans
81 timing it, it is a gratifying fact that
the ycople Of the South are becoming
every day united and determined. The
continuance of the war unites the South
IN 4. divides the North. The Northern
Democracy are stating the true cause o
the war. which has been the continued
agitation Of the slavery question; and
boldly rssert that the main reason for the
further prosecution of the war, is thai
slavery, which the Republicans. proclaim
j. th of the war, shall be abol'

Kentucky.

e Neutrality between the Republic and
its rebel enemies has been .'played out"
in Kentucky. Every stickler for it has by
this time betrayed bis thorough sympa-
thy with the rebellion; and at last the
fact that the Gen. Polk had invaded
Kentucky on the west aud taken military
possession, in behalf Of Jeff. Davis, Of
several important positions, while anoth-
er force of Tennessee rebels had taken
similar possession Of important positions
in the Cumberland and other mountains
on the South East, has aroused the mas
ses to consciousness of their perleus
and shameful predicament. kentucky
has but this choioc-to resume her place
in the Union and oppose front of steel
toits enemies; or to fall prey to those
enemies, who would soon despoil and de-
vastate her as they have already ravaged
Virginia and Missouri. Thus challenged
a-large majority of the Kentuckians- de,
clare for the Union. and (unlike the Tn.
ionists ofothcr Slave State) evince dis
position to fight for it. "The dark and
bloody ground" bids fair 10 receive ne "
baptism Of human gore. Tennessee has
haf her able bodied males TO day enroll
ed in the rebel armies, andit is probable
that an effort will be made to crush Ken
lucky in the folds of the rebel anaeonds
before she can put forth her strength ir
selfdefcnre. She will not fall, however
without desperate struggle; and it is
highly probable that the next month viii

COUNTRY.


We have received from the publisher
copy Of this map, and find it to be
complete and correct, so far as topogra-
ply is concerned, judging from the
knowledge we have of two of the STATES
included in it. A work of this kind is
called for by the stirring events crowd
ing quick and fast upon each other, since
the Inauguration Of this great rebellion.
To persons living remote from the
points now attracting SO much attention
from their being the centre of operation
for the two armies, map of this dis
criplion is worth FIVE times its cost, as il
will, at moments glance, give them a
correct knowledge of the precise locality
of places where stirring events are now
daily transpiring. Itis published by J
