Kentucky Aiming for the Union.

The following extract from letter to q
mercantile house in Philadelphia, dated
Danville, Kentucky, August Z, 1861, shows
that the State is rapidly preparing to do
her full duty to the Union
/ presume that you are satisfied that
Kentucky will remain loyal to the Union.
We are now raising volunteers for Uncle
Sam, and there is very large encampment
at Hoskins, Gross Roads, seven and a half
miles from this place. Captain Fry has
been made Colonel of one regiment, Judge
Bramlet is Colonel of the second regiment,
and - Woodruff is Colonel of cavalry
regiment, which came from Crab Orchard.
Five hundred of them passed through this
place yesterday, and the remaining five hun.
dred are to come through here tomorrow,
on their way to Camp Robertson, at the
Cross Roads.

questioning support as to seriously impair
the strength of the government, and to fur
nish to the rebels the aid and comfort, the
hope, they are constantly and anxiousIy
looking for from dissensions among the peo~
pie of the loyal States.
1t is not proposed by this movement to
create third party, but it is hoped that a
PEOPLES UNION may be formed for the pur-
pose expressed in the call, which shall gather
such impetus and strength, by the day for
which the convention is called, as to induce
the present political parties to omit party
nominations.
1t is hoped, therefore, that all who favor
the movement will cooperate together
in effecting county and township organ
izations, and in electing delegates to the
convention.
In the selection of delegates, we would
suggest that they be chosen, so far as may
be, in equal numbers from the Republican
and Democratic parties.
Very Respectfully.

What DR.. Stewart Says.

The correspondent of the World says the
Surgeons at Washington on parole, were
allowed their liberty from the fact that they
remained on the field to take care of our
wounded, and did not therefore join in the
retreat with other officers. For this hu-
name as we'll as brave act they were COM
plimeuted by Generals Beauregard and
Johnston, and, being non-combatants, have
been allowed great privileges. The World
Publishes the following intelligence derived
from DR.. Stewart:
DR.. Stewart, Surgeon of the First Minnesota
Regiment, who was taken prisoner when the
retreat commenced, states that the surgeons
were not allowed to 60 on the field after the
battle had concluded. but were permitted to
enter the hospitals and attend to the wounded.
The wounded and their attendants were treat.
ed very kindly by the people living in the vi
cinity of Manassas. No distinction was made
done to allie viate suffering. After day or so,
he and his companion, together with other
prisoners, were taken to Richmond, where
they were confined in prison formed
out of large tobacco ware house. Here
they were closely guarded, but treated kindly,
being furnished with good food and as com.

remarks which they heard were TIT most bitter
invectives from the women, who freely COM

LETTER FROM Gov. RAMSEY TO MRS. Nc.
KuNE.-The following letter was yesterday
addressed to the widow of the late Captain
Lewis McKune, by the Governor of the
State. The tribute to that gallant officer
is sincere and well-merited. He was an
independent farmer, surrounded with all the
comforts of life, and went into the war from
patriotic motives solely, caring as little
probably, as any officer in the service for
even the honors he might gain in the con-
test. Taking him by the hand before he
left with his command, we expressed the
belief that we should hear good account
of him. You certainly WILL" said be, " if
they give US half a chance at the rebels"
The letter is as follows:
STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
St. Paul. Aug. II, 1861.
MRS. MCKUNE, Morristown, Rice County, Min
nesota.
RESPECTED MADAM-It is my melancholy du-
ty to inform you that when Adjutant General
Sauborn was recently on an official visit to the
First Regiment at Washington, he was entrust.
ed with the S,uord, Bible and Uniform of your
lamented husband who fell with 50 much gal
lantry on the fatal field near Manassas Junction
Virginia, on the 2lst of July, ult., and that
these memorials of your brave husband are
now held here subject to your order.
While you will, know, treasure these relics
as precious mementos of the beloved departed,
believe me with no less affection will the PEG.
pie of this State cherish the memory of the
gallant deeds and selfsacrifcing patriotism of
Captain Lewis McKune. History will transmit
his name with honorable mention to future gen.
erations as an example for their imitation when
the great hour of public danger falls upon the
State, inducing other brave men to volunteer,
as he did, on pure principles of public duty, to
defend and maintain in all its integrity, the
great Republic of the Western Hemisphere, the
only hope for free institutions in the world.
Believe me, Madam, that in this hour of your
sore affection, you bear with you the heartfelt
sympathy of all our people.
l have the honor to be, most respectfully,
Your Obedent Servant,
ALEX. RAMSEY,
GoAernor of the State of Minnesota.

The Rebel Faulkner.
Occasional writes from Washington to
the PHILADELPHIA Press as follows:

Occasional" writes from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press as follows:
Charles James Faulkner, who, since the
death of his illustrious predecessor, j ohm Y.
Mason, as American Minister to France
(both Virginians), has been the occupant of
palatial Partisan residence, is now con,
templating the beauties of secession and the
moralities of treason through the bars of
our common city Jail. Mr.. Faulkner has
completed the circle on the Southern ques-
ton. A Representative in the Virginia
Legislature and the Congress of the United
States from the Martinsburg or Harper's
Ferry district for some years, be was almost
an Ab0litionist at one period, until he found
that hostility to the Union was more profit.
able, when he became first class Fire
eater. An aristocrat of the most offensive
type, he was ready to assume any doctrine
to secure place, and so, from a bitter assail-
ant of the Democratic party, be became the
very slave of the Masons and Hunters, who
despised him, and whom be had effected to
despise in return. 81
When he was nominated for the French
mission by Mr.. Buchanan, whom he court
ed and coaxed until the place was given to
him, his confirmation was opposed in the
Senate, on account of his known Secession
proclivities. The loyal press of the Free
States protested against his confirmation,
but the leaders of the pro slavery oligarchy
in that body, recognizing in him their ready
tool, and anticipating the uses he was ready
to lend himself to, forced him through the
ordeal, and sent him forward to complete
his contract with them. He remained long
enough in Paris to strike the most deadly
blow at the Union, interpolated his dis.
patches to the French Government with
insults upon his own, and like the Infamous
Floyd, left to his successor an Office de.
bauched and demeralized by treason, and
people divided by his baleful designs With
characteristic insolence, be came here under
the plea of desiring to settle his accounts
with the State Department, having undoubt-
eddy previously been in concert with the
Secession agents in New York and elsewhere
and intending to start home to retail what
ever be might have gathered in this quar-
ter, and to assume a military position in the
traitors army. For once, an enemy of the
Union has calculated without his host.
