stormy times in Kentucky. As yet the Union

ioied the disunonists. | will not enter into
particulars, and would find great difficulty in
extracting truth from the confused and contra
dictory mass Of facts standing out in Kentucky
politics. The Secessionists are led by shrewd
managers. and they handle their party with
great skill They are determined that Ken
lucky shall leave the Union, aud are tending
all their energies to that p int. The fight is
not over. The result is yet doubtful. On the
whole. am inclined to think thar Kentucky
will remain in the Union. | feel that | have

Whose fault is it that the South has h;ther
to been dependent ON the North for % school
teachcrs?" Until very recently, the Yankees
who have gone to tho sunny South to assist in
The growth and development of the youthful
chivalry lave worked for a consideration which,
in most cases, has been cheerfuly paid. They
have not forced their labo"s as teachers upon
that delightful region, but have rather rcspon.
ded to dnlcct Invitations made still sweeter BY
the promise Of golden rewards. In short, the
Yankee school master has been mercenary in his
labors, and the proud and lazy Southerners,
wis look upon schoo-teaching as degrading
work, have only been too ready to take the
g mud-sills " into their homes, and give up to
their guidance the tender minds of their infant
progeny.
But now all this is to be changed The
South has not only madiy determined to secede
from all political connection with the North,

possible that the g Yankee school teachers "
.will bear this intellectual non intercourse full
as we'll as the Rebels who have imposed it upon
themselves. The present generation of traitors
may have mental resources enough to stand such
a blockado but will it not be likely to make block
heads of the next generation? Perhaps, how
ever, they intend to put their g niggers " to this
work. Who knows?

A few DAYS since, two mcn belonging to tie Rebel
camp, not far from Sewalls Point preense Of going
fishing, sailed down Beach Creek, which puts into
Wiouglby Bay, in an open boat, with a negro to
row. They came down by degrees, without disclosing
their purpose till they were beyond the reach Of the
Rebels when they applied powerful Perusuasives to
their coored gondoier to row them TO the Minnesota
The Roads rough the boat small, and there WIS
no little peril attending the passage. But with the
deserters it was little less than matter of life or
death and under the circumstance the colored man
thought it was about the same with him. The boat
came near swampug several times, bat finally late in

Stars and Stripes. 1t then that the deserers, in
