The Reign OF Terror. Commencing
Im that Region.
Several Passengers direct from Charles
ton, Kanawhn, arrived here yesterday, on
the steamer Ben franklin. The Secession
troops recently encamped Mt Buffalo, hMve
removed TO Charleston, thirty.seven miles
above. The force hunters between five
and six hundred men. Gen. MCClelIan's
address to the Ytrginians had not reached
that quarter, through the influence of Sc
cessonists who have induced many of the
Union citizens to take up arms in ''defenre
"f their homes and dresides," believing
that it is the intention of the Federal for
ee5,to free the negroes as they progress
through the State. Tie distribution Of a
few thousand copies of the Generals ad-
dress, together with regiment of UniteI
States troups, would no doubt prove bcne-
Hci"l Mt the present time. The region of
terror has commenced at Charleston by
preventing citizens loyal 10 the Union,
leaving the place. The Secessionfsts ut
Charleston are reported to have six six
pnundeTs-One of which commrnds the

Col. KoIl1.

The Philadelphia Frtss, in little notice
Whtrh We copy, pays a high tribute to
Col. Kelly. Our exchanges generally have
contained highly complimentary notices
ofhis character as man and soldier.
Many of these notices were. written as if
the report of Col. KelIy's death was COR
rect. and we do not, for that reason, copy
them. His Woand was at 6rst supposed to
be mortal one, and news to that effect
went over the country. We are most hap
Py TO join With the PhiIadelphia Press in
congratulsting the country that there is
get good grounds to hope that Col. Kelly
may long be spared to his friends and his
country. Certainly his death would DC a
public calamity. A truer man, or more
gallant soldier, never lived. For twenty.
four hours of this week we enjoyed oppor-
tunities of learning what manner of man
he was, above ard beyond what We had
ever enjoyed before, although we have
known him more or less intimately for
years. We never saw higher qualities of
manhood euvinced than he exhibited after he
was wounded, and fatally wounded, as he
supposed. He had but nne thought and
one conversation, and that was his regret
that he could not have lived to serve the
glorious cause in which he had enlisted.
With maguanimity emiuently character
istic of his whole life. lie would frequeut-
Iy recur in conversation to the gallant
conduct of his men during the engagement
at PhilliPpt, never once alluding to any
part or lot that he himself bore in the ex-
petition. his heart WAS full of love and
commentator of his men and of hope for
the success of the government arms when
ever aud wherever they might encounter
the foe.
We have rarely wttOeosed 50 unectinga
sigh as that presented when the aids of
General Norris reached him from Grafton,
bearing With them the dispatches of Major
General Mcclellan and General Norris
1t was thought then, as will be seen by the
wording of the dispatch from General Nc
Clellan, that Col: Kelly was MORALLY
wounded, and the aids being fearful of the
same thing, did not hesitate to commute
cate the dispatches to the wounded soldier.
When the dispatches were read TO him n
faint modest smile of grateful recognition
passed over his pale, wasted face, and his
eyes flled with tears-Gqt hewas too weak
to speak word. Col. Benham put the
dispatches in his hand and he held them
there until he WIS removed from the litter
on the floor to comfortable bed in an ad-
joining room. During the night, as we sat
by his bedside, we obtained them aud made
the following copies of them:
DISPATCH PROM oES. MCCLELLAN.
CIxcINXATI, June 3, 1864.
= Gen, r d. ,Ulrris;-
Say to Col. Kelly that / cannot set be-
lieve it possible that one who has opened

is what they haught us before, and
we only say to them, as many a son
may say to his father, "Practice what
you teach.'' Let the Northern States
"accept the situation,' as we did
eighty years ago upon their own
soil, as Austria did two years ago at
Villatranca and Zurich. Let them
count the cost before they march
forth to drive half Il million armed
men thousand miles across their
own country into the Gulf of Mexico.
Let them consider whether they can
do what Napoleon could not do in the
plentitude of his power. with many
times their number, their stores their
credit, and, above all, their military
skill and experience, his school OF
of Generals and his supply Of veae-
rams.
What they purpose to do and he
is not only to be as good az the South

like wasps, ferret them like rabbits
and bag them like game? Let then
just look forward a little, and consider
the probable state otthings next year
and the year after, and twenty years
hence. Even we who sang sucl

Gen. Buckner's Proclamation.

After taking possession OF Bowling
Green, with the Kentuck y troops un-
der his command, Gen. Buckner is
sued the following proclamation to
the people of Kentucky:
The Legislature of Kentucky have
been faithless to the will of the peo-
pie. They have endeavored to make
your gallant State 81 fortress in which
under the guise of neutrality, the
armed forces of the United States
might securely prepare to suhjugate
alike the people Of Kentucky and
the Southern States.
1t was not until after months of
covert and open violation of your
neutrality, with large encampments
Of Federal troops on your territory,
and a recent official declaration Of
the Present of the United States not
regard your neutral position. coupled
with we'll prepared scheme to seize
an additional point i'll your territory
which was of vital Importance to the
safety and defence Of Tennessee,
that the troops OF the Contederacy,
on the invitation of the people Of
kentucky, occupied a defensive post
in your State. IN doing so the COM
lnander announced his purpose to
evaeuate your territory simultane-
ously with a similar movement on
the part of the Federal forces, when
ever the Legislature ef kentucky
shall undertake to enforce against
belliserents the "stvict neutrality
! which have SO often declared.
| ! retern among you, citizens OF
Kentucky, at the head OF a force, tae
advance Of which is composed entire
I iy of kentuckians. We do not come
to modest any citizen whatever may
be his political opionions. Unlike
the agents Of the Northern dcspotism
who seek to reduce us to condition
of dependent vassals. we believe that
tn recognition Of the civil rights o.
citizens is the foundation OF conSti
tutioual liberty, and that the claim OF
the President of the United States tC
declare martial law to suspend the
lprivilege of the writ of habeas cor
pas; and to convert every barraeh
and every prison IN the land into 8
bastile, is nothing but the claim which
other tyrants have assumed to sub
Dugate tree people.
The Confederate States occupy
Bowling-green as defensive posi-
ton. ! renewed the pledges Of th'
commanders of other columns o
Confederate troops 70 retire from tn
TERRITORY Of Kentucky OH the SAM
, conditions which will govern tLei

iur'hef give you my own assu
rance that the force under my com
mand will be used to aid the Govern
ment OF kentucky in carrying ou
