But some who were with us did actually ei.
feet their escape. Why might not all nave
followed their example, and thus haro avoided
the notifying surrender? This objection
presents far the most plausible argument
against Col. P.'s course. But, though plausl,
bic, it will not bear Investigation. 1t does not
follow that, because a few men, concealed for
q time in friendly houses aud afterwards dis
cuised as herdsmen, did escape through the
mountains, that 500 men could be as effcctual-
ly hidden, or as successfully attempt : disguise.
When the vigilance Of the enemy had been
lessened by the capture Of the main body Of
those whom they pursued, squads Of ten and
twenty did make out to elude their scouts, and
obtaining food at loyal houses, did succeed in
reaching a friendly country. But it would be
very unsafe to infer from this that Col. Pegram
could have led to a place Of safety this large
detachment, with whose leaving the camp and
present position the enemy were SO well
acquainted. | think scarcely any rea-
sonable man, csgnizant of the circumstances,
can doubt that, if he had persisted in the at.
tempt, nearly his whole command would have
been starved or cut to pieces.
am sorry this communication seems to call
for so much more space in your columns than
I had expected or desired. II, however, 1t

estimate in the mind Of any human being OF

who now lie sick and in prison, | trust We

Position of Kentucky.

The Columbus ga "Sun" gives the opin'
ion Of an Albanian who has lately visited
Louisville and number Of other localities in
Kentucky, that that State will yet ''turn up" on
the Southern side of the present controversy.
Both parties there arc determined and unyield-
ing, and civil war may occur at any day. The
Un;onists are numerically stronger now, but
the Sccassionists have their plans laid and ma.
tGreG, and are determined on resistance to ty-
ranry to the bitter extremity, if need be.
Many Of those who voted with the Unionists
will DO among the first to take up arms in re.
~sisteoce to the usurpations Of Lincoln, as was
the csse in Virginia, Tennessee and other
States now of the Confederacy. Unionism
there does not imply an attachment to the
Union that would array its ~votavies against the
South in an actual fight
A private letter from an intelligent gentle,

Keep Back the Cotton.

The following shows the importance which
our Congress attaches to the policy Of keeping
the cotton crop away from our seaports during
the present restrictions on our foreign trade.
The planters and factors who have adopted
this course will find much to reward and en-
courage them in this WARM commentator Of
our rulers:
"Resolved, That the Congress heartily ap.
prove Of and commend the course pursued b.
the cotton planters and factors Of the country,
in sending no cotton forward from the interior
to the sea.ports Of the Confederacy during the
existence Of the blockade, and the determine
ton Of the Insurance Companies to insure the
crop only when retained on the plantation
