The editor Of the Free Nation gives US to
understand that if we will solemnly affirm
that we are not in league with Satan, he
will publish any card TO that effect which is
suitable for Christian journal. He iufers
our completely with that much abused, but
most important personage, from the fact
that we are prone to 'attack journal which,
like the Free Nation, aims to be Christian in
character and conduct"
We sincerely hope that the fact that we
do not conclude 10 avail ourselves of the
benefit of the offer of the editor will not be
construed into an admission of any thing
that may operate to our discredit aud we
do not suppose that the mere fact that we
happen to disagree with him upon some
questions of public character will be taken
as evidence of Satanic proclivities by any
but himself
What Christian character and conduct in a
newspaper may be we hardly know, when
the sentiments and practices of those who
pretend to it are so widely different. We
have Christian journals which defend, and
Christian journals which condemn, slavery
Christian journals which advocate, and
Christian journals which oppose every i'm
aginsble religious and political dogma and
Article of belief and if there is any thing for
which a very large share of our professedly
Christian journals are especially distin-
guished, it is for their shameless propensity
to truckle and pander to the passions and
prejudices of the multitude, upon every occa-
sion Of popular excitement. American secu-
lar journalism is bad enough in this respect.
We feel too often ashamed of its bull. u.headed
ignorance, and utter want of appreciation Of
its solemn responsibilities to take any pride
in its performances. But bad as it is, it!
ofenses become to!erable when compared
with the more virulent forms in which they
appear in that press which, while it professe!
to speak with divine authority, seems guided
by 10 other motive than sordid interest, and
impelled by no spirit but one Of flaming ia.
naticism.

secular Journal who filled his columns with

STILL ANOTHER OUTRAGE At CYNTHIANA-
Second attempt to Burn a Railroad Bridge-
Homicide Of One Of the Guard We have to
record to-day another OF those Secession out
RACES near Cyntbana, which have already
obtained for that place notorious and un-
enviable reputation all over the country.
About eleven O'Clock, Thursday night, as we
ere informed, two German laborers who work
on the road, and were set on guard at Kim
bros Bridge, one and half miles above Gym
thans, on the Kentucky Central Railroad
were approached by company OF live per-
sons, who accosted them, and swore they
came to set fire TO the bridge and would do
so before they left.
Upon receiving some reply from the Ger
mans, one Of the company named Fowler.
fred at one of them killing him instantly.
His companion fed, while a volley of bullets
was fred at him in his retreat, fortunately
none of them taking effect. The farmers Of
the vicinity were aroused, but by the time
they had arrived at the place the party had
fled, leaving the bridge on fire in several
places which they had kindled. The Sheriff
of Harrison County has arrested Fowler and
he is now in Jail at Cynthiana awaiting pun
ishment if there is any in store for him for
this one of the most daring and dastardly
murders on record.
GRAND BARBECUE.-There is to be a grand

hundred thousand people will be present.
The proceedings will give, if successful a
glorious impetus to the Union cause in the
State.
GONE TO CYETHIANA.-Mr. r B. Bowler,
President Of the Central Railroad, has gone
to Cynthiana, we suppose, TO put stop to
the bridge-burning business, and to accom-
pish this he will have to apologize for his
past errors, and promised to do so no more.

A secret Political Society.

A letter from correspondent informs US
that "a secret sOcietyis organized in the city,
and perhaps throughout the State, to fix up a
ticket for the ensuing election" "Ofcourse,"
says the writer, ''it is claimed by the engi-
neers of the concern that it is a no-party
society FOR the preservation Of our Govern
ment and to save the Union; when, in fact,
the old broken-down party hacks Of every
shade OF politics are its working members"
"Now," he continues, "on account of the ex-
citement which prevails among all classes OF
people, and the anxiety to do something for
the country, there is great danger of dema-
gogues and incompetent men being thrust
upon US in important Offices" Our corre-
spondent therefore, asks US to be pleased to
urge upon this society the selection of the
very best men for every place upon the
ticket.
We are afraid that if we should urge upor
the society in question the propriety OF Sc.
IectiDg the very best men, it would not be o.
much avail Such societies must of neces
sity select their candidates from among

it would be idle to hope for any thing good
to come out oft.
1t is almost strange while we have in our
memories the recollection Of the dirt that
was made by the last secret political society
of the country, and Of the deserved odium
which attached to whatever belonged to it,
that men are found willing to repeat the
hazardous experiment. Unclean, as party
politics are always, the most unclean era of
ours was the era of Know Nothingism. The
reek of it has not now passed out of the
public nostrils; and yet such are the attrac-
tions Of Office, that we have doubtless a
plenty of men among US, who, for the sake
of a hope which, in their case, secret Or
ganization alone can afford, are anxious to
try their fortunes again in a similar enter
prise,

n1ensures for the Defense of the City.


The Governor of Ohio has, as we are in
formed, responded promptly and satisfacto.
rily to the suggestions of a committee of
gentlemen from this city who waited upon
him with a view to concert measures for our
local defense. We are to be provided, as
speedily as possible, with six batteries of six
feld-pieces each, one to be at the expense Of
the city and the remainder at the expense of
the State. Application has also been made
to the General Government for such guam
tity of heavy artillery as shall be deemed
necessary, when placed upon commanding
points, to defend the approaches to the city,
to which prompt and favorable response
may be expected. The batteries will be sent
forward in complete order, and ready for in
slant use; but it is expected that they will be
manned by troops enlisted here-arrange-
ments for the enlistment and training of
which will be made Immediately.
The Governor has also ordered forward
five regiments of troops, four of which are to
be posted at Camp Dennison, and one at the
Orphan Asylum Lot, to be in readiness for
any emergency. An attempt is being made
10 procure the attendance of an officer of
experience to take command of the forces,
ard arrange a system of defense. All these
things are IS they should be. This city may
never be attacked, but as no one can pre-
dict the vicissituies ola great war; it is the
part OF wisdom to p-ovide against even ad.
verse possibilities.
Those of our citizens to whom this mission
was committed express themselves gratefu
TO Governor Dennison, for the readiness will
which he entered into their views, and tn
promptitude with which he acted upon tn
conclusions at which they jointly arrived.

nrroRs AND PRoPRIEToRs.


TIE report that the Federal troops have
met with disaster on the Kanawha, doubted
by some, and reasoned against by others on
the ground of its improbability,sppears to be
true. That regiment at an advanced post
in the enemy's country should permit itself
to be surrounded before it was aware of the
vicinity of an enemy, seems so nearly impos-
sible, that the story was rejected as fiction.
There must have be. mismsnagement some-
where, or the thing could not have occurred.
From the nature of the country, and the
character Of the service-simply to hold pos
session-the advantage in choice of position,
and means of information, must have been
upon the side of the Government forces. 1!
is not, perhaps, right to pronounce upon the
case while the facts are so little known; but
it probably resolves itself into one Of official
incapacity.

ANOTHER SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE SoUrHER,

AkOTHER SLIGHT UHANGE IN THE SOUTHERN
PRoGRAMME.--The Memphis Avalanche, Of
August 81, says:
The conviction is becoming general
throughout the South, that the war can only
be ended by carrying it into the North. The
Northern Abolitionists will have to be
scourged into good behavior. The sooner
this shall be done the better. All the mighty
energies and resources of the South should
be put forth to crush out the Northern con-
spiracy against her. The bombardment of q
few Northern cities would bring our enemies
to their senses. Philadelphia and Cincinnati
present convenient points of attack. Mary
land and Kentucky, we have good reason to
believe, will soon be with us, when those
Abolition cities should receive the special
attention OF the gallant avengers of Southern
| wrongs.
