nA- Kentucky assumed a position of
neutrality with the declaration that it
should not be violated, with impunity, by
the Southern or the Northern government,
and then right upon the heels of that de-
claration, elected men to the Lincoln Con-
gress to vote meu and money to make war
upon the South. And now, after this pal
pable violation of her neutrality, she de-
mands that it shall still be respected by the
party against which she is actually waging
war as far as she can do it through her re-
representatives., acting in concert with our
enemies. A strict regard for her assumed
neutrality demanded that she should have
nothing to do with the government at
Washington and in not needing that OBJ
vious demand, she placed herself in an at
titude of active hostility to the South.

disgraceful character. The Colonel ignored the

The men wished 70 thrash their officers, and the
officers "to have it out at once"

aA.- We have been reliably informed
that old Abe, the Kangaroo President, is
the bastard son of man by the name of
Cisney. One of the same name was i'm
prisoned in Hopkinsville for horse stealing,
but escaped in Scotch plaid. Perhaps he
is Abes cousin but as his biographers
have studiously avoided any allusion to his
paternity, we can not certainly trace the
relationship between the horse-thief and
the wholesale murderer.

A CARD.

The friends of DR.. James F. Johnston
Surgeon of the 14th Regiment of Tennessee
Volunteers, now in Virginia, will be pleased to
read the following conclusive vindication of his
conduct, against certain rumors which have been
current here since the departure of the Regi-
ment:
The undersigned; officers of the 14th Regimen mt
of Tennessee Volunteers, stationed at Big Spring
North western Virrinia, having heard with re
greet, of some rumors at home, prejudcal to the
character and standing of DR.. johnson, the Sur
geOn of this Regiment, take pleasure in vindi-
eating him and relieving him $50 far as our
statement may do SOY from the unfounded charges
and baseless rumors aforesaid.
We state, unhesitatingly, that TO man could
be more prompt, energetic and attentive in the
discharge of his duties as Surgeon of regiment
than.Ae is, and as. to his capacity to fill the posi-
ton assigned him by the Governor of the State
of Tennessee, Dr-JOhnson may, with just pride,
appeal to the Health Records of the regiment,
which show as large or perhaps larger amount
of sickness than those of any other regiment il
the service perhaps, and some diseases of aggra-
waited form, and but single death among those
who remained in the regiment, and came under
his treatment, and that case of total paralysis
which was irremidsble, and terminated in death
in a few hours.
We deem the foregoing statement due from us
Though unsolicited by DR.. Johnson) as a single
act of justice, and to place him right before the
community at home, who may have been misled
by false and unfounded rumors from irresponsi
BILE sources. DR.. johnson has our esteem as q
gentleman, and, we believe, the confidence of the
entire regiment as Physician and Surgeon.

pas- To see twenty million of people
led on to their own political and CONNER
cial ruin by some half-dozen scoundrels in
Washington, is strange spectacle, and no
one can behold it without being forced to
doubt the capacity of man for self-govern-
ment. Democracy is perfect system for
perfect men, but for man, as he is, it is the
direct road to despotism through anarchy.
Let the South profit by Northern expert
ence, and in the incipiency of its existence
as an Independent power, provide ample
checks against radicalism and consequent
popular depravity. Place the Judiciary
beyond the reach of political influence,
throw stronger guards around the ballot
box, and do everything that can be done to
bring out the talent and integrity of the
country and to break up the trade of the
demagogue. Now is the time to effect
these reforms. An elective Judiciary is a
death blow to Justice, and universal suf-
frage is universal ruin.
