The readers of the Journal can afford to

not the representative of the people. IL Is
a gross insult to the citizens of both ciues'
to be annoyed by such putrescent ex-
creeance. The citizens of Greensboro and
Evansville generally, are known to be hon
orable, patriotic gentlemen and ladies, who
would scorn to condescend to such a7lpioias
profanity and pusllanimous billingsgate as
contained in that letter. 1t is not less re-
pugnant to the taste of one than the princi-
pies of the other. Col. Wallace and all
men of common sense will doubtless con-
slider the source and treat it with merited
contempt Col. Wallace is not here to vio-
late law or be intimidated by threats. 10y
al citizens will find protection, and the way
of transgressors will be hard. Between cit
liens of Kentucky and Indiana, there
should be no hostility, no elimination OF
TecriminatiOn. We have a common inter
| est in the prosperity, not only of each 9th
! er, but our whole country, and it would be-
the madness Of folly to permit unprincipled
/ irresponsible blackguards to jeOpardize the
| lives and property of citizens of both States
| to crafty the malignant, fendish spiri
manifested by the correspondent. Let re
| sponsible citizens of both States. put a stol
/ to all lawless proceedings, and hold men re
/ sponsble before the proper tribunals for in
| cendiary communications and unlawful
| demonstrations. 1t is time for loyal sitizen
to assert their rights, and rescue the com
mon cause of justice from mobocratic incen
diaries South or North. Let the law-abid
ing citizens of border States and cities unit
to suppress a spirit of mutual prescription
Let there be a free interchange of senti
ment. Let incendiary communications b
laid under the editors table. Let there b
a sitting of facts before publication, and lie

exists assert supremacy of law, and vindi
cate the rights of all loyal citizens, regard

MORE SEcEssroN.-Th Memphis Bulletin
of the 10th, says it is reported that the
Southern counties OF Kentucky mean to Sc
cede and join their fortunes with the Con-
federate States and that rs soon as the
declaration is made, Gen. Pillow, with a
large force, will move to their support from
his headquarters at Union City, few miles
from the Kentucky line.
1t is stated that Col. Burnett, just elected
to Congress in that District, has not yet sig
nifed the Congress that he will attend. Not
fe,s believe he intends representing that
District in the Confederate Congress. We
do not believe this, however, for Mr.. Bur

of her disasters will make application for
peace before the war is carried into their
borders. So long as Virginia bears the

leatherwas sent to this city from St. Louis to

CAPTURED ARTICLES.
The amount Of plumber secured in Camp
Vest, or Bacon, as the citizens here call II,
from the name of the gentleman owning a
fine house close by, was very large. One
thousand two hundred shoes, twenty or
thirty tents, quantities of Ammunition, some
fifty guns ofearious patterns, blankets, car
pet sacks, and two secession flags were in
cluded in the sum total.
Captain Richardson had landed below,
and with the support of the bowitzer from
the steamer Mcdowell, captured their bat
terry, consisting of two six-pounders with
which they intended to sink our feet,
twenty prisoners, one caisson, and eight
horses with military saddles.
GEN. LYONS GOODNESS.
At one time when bullets were flying
thick, and G zen. Lyon was at the head of the
column mounted. he undertook to dismount,
that his position might be a trlfie less con-
spcuous, when his horse suddenly jumped
with fright, throwing t. General to the
ground, but without injuriu him seriously.
The rumor suddenly spreal through the
ranks that Gen. Lyon had been shot from
his horse, and the indignation and cries OF
vengeance were terrific.
JOY OF THE PEOPLE.
You can hardly imagine the JOY express
ed and felt by the loyal citizens here when
the federal troops entered the city. Stores,
which had been closed all day, began to
open, the national flag was quickly run up
on a secession pole, with cheers for the
| Union, Lyon, Blair, and Lincoln were fire.
| quently heard, and everything betokened
/ the restoration of peace, law, and order
/ True men say had the troops delayed ten
/ days longer it would have been impossible
| for them to remain in safety. Irresponsi-
1 BILE vagabonds had been taking guns
wherever they could find them and notify
| ing the most substantial and prosperous cit
zens to leave. As a specimen of the feel
ing here, Mr.. Mcpherson, proprietor of the
! City Hotel, denounces the whole secession
movement as the greatest crime committed
since the crucifxion of our Savior.
FIGHTING PARsoN.
Speaking of prizes, the brilliant achieve
ment in that line was made by cur
reverend friend, VIM. A. Pill, chaplaiu
of the First Regiment. He had charge
of four men, two mounted aud two on foot,
with which to take charge of the wounded
/ Ascending the brow off hill, he came upon
company of twenty-four rebels, armed
with revolvers, aud fully bent upon secur-
ing place of safety for the carcasses. Their
intentions however, were considerably moe =
fled when the parson ordered them to halt,
which they did, surrendering their arms.
Surrounded by the squad of five men, they
were then marched on board the Louisiana,
prisoners Of war. The parson also captured
two other secessionists during the day, and
at one time, needing a wagon and horses for
the wounded, and finding friendly sugges-
| tions wasted on stubborn old rebel, placed
a revolver at his head, and the desired arti-
| cles were forthcoming. In time of peace
the preacher had prepared for war.
