him. Ills Honor, Judge Humphreys,
bore testimoney to the good character and
high standing Of Mr.. Dickinson, and
proposed t. him that he at once, and with.
out any investigations take an oath Of al.
leglance and fidelity to the Confederate

How ~ Works.

slow "a Works.
The progress of the strife in Kentucky
illustrates the working of the adverse pol
icies Of the two governments. The Con-
federate authorities and armies seize and
cantiscate the slaves of Union men wher-
ever found, while as matter of course
they respect the right Of property Of their
own friends. The Union army, on the
contrary, respect the sacred right Of prop
erty of traitors in their unfortunate fellow
men, and only confscate the less valuable
and more common property.
This course of proceeding offers pre-
MUM to shareholders to take sides with the
Confederate oligachy. The slaves of ev-
cry traitor STAKEHOLDER are safe from both
armies alike, but the slaves of loyal Union
men are sure to be confscated whenever
they fall into the hands of the rebel forces.
Thus the selfish instincts Of shareholders
are enlisted in the cause of rebellion, and
their patriotism must not only rise above
their prejudiccs and their sympathies, but
must utterly ignore their own personal in
terests, if they would remain true to the
canse of their country. True, there are
thousands of kentuckians whose patriot
ism is Of that lofty type which sacrifice.
all earthly interests on the altar of Their
country and who are unconscious of the
temptation held out to them to save Their
property by deserving the cause of their
country But who doubts that there art
thousands more who are impelled by per
sona Interests to choose the position which
best COMFORTS with their own personal in
terests, and secures to them their mos
valuable property.
An army correspondent of the Cincin
natl Gazette, writing from kentucky
gives the following facts:
The father Of Gen Wood, an aged Ken
tuckian, of high social position, and uni
versally respected, has actually been driv
en- from his home by men who had beer
constant and welcome guests for Years
his table His property has been de
stroyed his family compelled to abandon
their homes, and his slaves forced to tax,
u the mountains, 10 avoid being stolel
md sent South.
That, by the way, may be regarded TIL
richest joke of the war These high.tone,
rebels, Who are constantly accusing tn
national troops of being negro thieves, ar
themselves doing the only negro stealth
done at all 1t remains for those of tn
people Of Kentucky, who are still dreadin
that this war will run into a " Fremor
Abolition crusade, to decide what the
think OF 1t now, when the "nigger stea
ING turns out to be all on the other sid,
aud to be conducted by Wholesale.
OF course the unsclfsh patriots of Ker
lucky will be stimulated to more intens
hatred OF the marauding traitors, but thos
who have special regard to their ow
personal interests will find in these fac
new arguments against imperiling the
property BY joining or adhering to I'll
friends of Union.

1t appears to be the general belief, says
the Wheeling Intelligencer, that the cam
paign in Western Virginia is virtually
ended. Rosencrans has fallen back and
taken position on the Charleston and
Lewisburg turnpike, a short distance
above the junction Of New aud eau
ley rivers. The rebel army appears also
to have retired toward Lewisbnrg. The
roads are represented as having become 50
bad IN that region as To render military
next To impossible, and that,
ot course, renders any important army
