1t lie no excuse for departure from the duty
enjOined, that the quarrel is not personal, but
national So much stronger the current we have
to stem in holding our anchorage as Christians
so much wider aud more evil the influence of our
example, if we yield to the pressure. "Who is
my neighbor," is n question TO be put again,
and often, in such times as these. And the
words of our Lord, expounjing the second Of the
two great commandments OF the Law, should
now be well considered. ii so love them that
love you, what reward have yc?" They that
would be children of Him "who makes the sun
to rise on the just and the unjust" must love
their enemies, and do good to those that hate
them.
That there will be an evil spirit in some classes
Of minds, we must expect. War sweeps in itj

From Kentucky.

The following is a portion of a private letter
received by a member of the House from his
son who is Assistant Surgeon in the 10Th ILL.,
nois Regiment now in Kentucky
E~LlzABE1HTowN, Ky, Oct. %, 1861.
DEAR FATHER :-Elizabethtown, where we
are now encamped, is 4 pleasant village OF some
1900 inhabitants situated on tho Loui-yllle ana
Nashville Railroad, 43 miles from Louisville,
and II miles from our advance, under ten
Rosseau, at Camp Nevin. There are, as near
as | can ASCERTAIN, about 20 900 men at Camp
Ncvin. This place was probably as bitter a Sc
ce85ion hole as there was in this part OF the
State, but since our troops have taken possess
ion Of it, most Of the rampant Seoessionlsts have
left for more congenial quarters. There Is still,
however, Il strong Secession element lett, and
when we arrived here, not a flag was to be seen
flying over the town. On the night after our
arrival the Il" Star Spangled Banner y was
raised over the Court House by our boys, where
it now waves in proud defiance of the Traitors
to it's &C glorious Stars and Stripes" who would
gladly trample in the dust the emblems OF the
" shed blood " of their ancestors.
Troops are constantly pouring into this State,
and the Indications are that it will be the
theatre of a bloody struggle. The hatred OF
the true men of Kentucky for Buckner is most
bitter and intense, and can hardly be realized
by one who has not heard the terrible anathe-
mas hurled against him. Thousands of dollars
have been offered to the man who would deliver
him, dead or alive, at Louisville. 1t is almost
entirely owing to his influence that the State
has been placed in her present unhappy position.
Our Regiment have taken possession of a Scces-
sion Printing Office, and will issue n paper to-
morrow titled the Zouare Gazette.

Covering Back Tracks.

4 private letter written to the editor of this
PAPER under date Camp Griffin, Nov. |, by a
Eermonter in the army. q gentleman of the
highest character and responsibility, touches
the real cause Of the comfortable statement
made by Gen. Davis Of the condition of ON
troops on the Potomac. The writer says
" He Davis SO hates the Ex-Governor. that
ne would, | fear, let us 60 naked if he could
thereby help himself In his contest with the
Governor, before the Legislature. When you
send w man again, send one uho has no back
tracks to c over" This points out at once the
mistake the Legislature made in commissioning
Gen. Davis to visit our troops and ascertain
their wants. Those wants We're partly, if not
entirely. cliargeahlc TO Gen. Davis. %inasmuch as
it was unqucstionably his duty-if he had any
duties as Quartermastcr IN connection with the
Vermont Rcgimcnts-to see that they were
properly furnished with comfortable and sufi-
Gent clothing and tents IF Gen. Davis had
reported that the troops were seriously in want
he might very reasonably have had some alarm
lest such a report would unCayorably affect his
chances for Il reelection
His interest certainly demanded a favorable
report, and perhaps it WAS asking too much of
him that he should condemn himself, or furnish
facts that would reaec. unfavorably upon his
iaithtulness or competency in the Office of Quar-
termaster. Thu result is what might have been
expected. Greater efforts have been made So
cover up - back tracks - than to clothc the
troops.
We also print elsewhere a letter from IA mem
her OF the 81 Regiment, who urges tie cauec
o' the soldier in feeling terms. and we COM
mend it to the attention Of the Legislature, and
nope the General Assembly will consider, in
the election of Quartcrmastcr this wear. that il
is OF INFINITELY more consequence to our troops
10 have just the right man in that place, than
1t Is to vote any one man up or down. If Gen.
Davis Is the right man, elect him if not. or if
there is II reasonable doubt thai ne is. give
the soldiers tho benefit Of that doubt.

On our first page will be found an &C
count of seizure of sCastle'' of the
8" knights of the Golden Circle" together
with the records, and IN exposition by a
member of the horrid oaths which bind
them together. This infamous order, the
sworn friend of Jefferson Davis, and the
rebellion, is largely on the increase in the
loyal States. No doubt large majority
of the " Compromise men" in the North
are connected with this diabolical and fend-
ish association. Even Kansas has not es
capped the curse, and we hear from quite
respectable authority that our own vicinity
is Infested with gang of these vile mon
sters. Let the loyal people keep sharp
look k-out, and mark those who appear dis
affected, and disposed to find fault with the
conduct of the war, and the Administra-
ton, for it is among such men that these
miscreant I" Knights" will be found. We
commend the article in question to our
readers, for information respecting the dev-
ilish designs Of the order.

WOOL DECLINES THE WEST.
ERN COMMAND.

Advices from Washington are that Gen.
Wool, the officer second in rank in the Uni
ted States army, had been rendered the
command. as successor to Fremont, of the
Military Department of the West and that,
after examining "the situation uere, as
exhibited by official reports at tie capital,
Gen. Wool declined to accept, unless guar
auteed immediate reinforcements, and addi-
tions supplies of war material. These
could no, be assured TO him. aud his conse-
ouent refusal was final. This significant
fact doubtless taught certain high officials a
much needed lesson. Probably they began
to open their eyes upon the actual necessi-
ties of the Department aud the paucity OF
the means conceded 10 Fremont for his i'm
mense task. Perhaps they thought that
after all, nothing had occurred that should
weaken the cogrnt reasons that had led to
the selection of Fremont.
The veteran Wool was too sagacious to
peril his hard earned fame BY trusting It to
