Tho Position of KentucIrv.

To the Editors Of The Daily Press:
The Gazette has an article stating what
Kentucky should not have done. The Ga
zette last May or June, insisted that Ken
lucky should not be neutral though her
leading men said the Secessionists would
then control matters if the State was COM
PEELED TO abandon the position she had as
sumed. We all have known that Kentucky
had strong party of rebels to control and
have for weeks seen that we were about to
have war there. We should have had arms
and men ready in sufficient numbers TO put
down promptly all hope of successful resist
ance in Kentucky, and have iu,p ,pired the
Union men with confidence. The last ac-
counts from her intelligent citizens, many of
them now in this city, say that the State is
almost without arms while the Secessionists
have been privately providing themselves
with them.
Our newspapers have all along assured the
loyal men there that we had auy amount of
regiments and surplus arms ready on call
for them Now that it is apparent that Ken
lucky will be overrun from Tennessee and
her SecessionisUs, and this city and Louisville
put in danger, it appears we have not the
regiments and arms required. They should
have been in Camp Dennison weeks ago.
The furry which frightened the old women
about defending the city and getting up mar
it been directed in common-sense way in
bringing men from the interior to the bank
of the Ohio, would not only have been the
best mode of defending our city, but Of re
moving the seat of war from Kentucky to
Tennessee.
We have met with great losses in Missouri
in the defeat of General Lyon and the loss of
Mulligan's command, arising from blunder5
and negiect-apparent to every one.
Is it possible 10 arouse our friends in Ohio
and Indiana to act with energy, and save
Kentucky from being devastated and her
Union men ruined-as has been the case in
Missouri
Nothing is more easy if it is quietly but
correctly gone into, not by public meetings
and ford speeches, but by quiet, determined
appeals to the officials of the State and Gov
erDment.
We want action now, prompt action, and
nothing else will do. 1t will soon be too late.

SENDING Coal TO NEWCASTLE. sale
Of twenty five thousand cigars was made
this morning by Mr.. A. Amann, retail dealer,
to a wholesale house in Cincinnati. This, it
seems to us, looks as if Newport wants to
prove the old saying of sending coal to New
castle can be carried into effect and be made
TO pay.
MAYORS COURT. This morning the Court
was busy trying the case of Edward Riley,
charged with striking John Mills with a
hammer, a few days since, while fighting
near Davis's foundry. Quite large number
of witnesses were present, and the trial will
probably last during the day.
CRAzY.-A crazy woman, named Welsh,
was lodged in Jail last night for safe keeping.
She Will probably be tried by jury and sent
TO the Insane Asylum at Frankfort.
On GUARD.-The guns furnished by the
Stale in the Washington Artillery Company
were last night in the Courthouse yard. A
guard was placed around the guns, fearing
an attempt might be made by the securities
to seize them. The company is under orders,
and may depart st almost any hour.

Irish Place hunters,

To he Editors Of the Daily Press:
There is a certain class of individuals who
make use of their "Irish birth " in support
OF their claim for public office holding in
this country. Such creatures are eternally
reminding the community that their
country men are brave soldiers, loyal citi-
zens, and true men Now, srs, | am proud
to call myself an Irishman, and l claim a
right 10 disGVow the beggarly growlings of
those worthless dogs that in ali cities in the
Union are to be found hungering after the
bones Of public patronage.
Who are they who look for Office on the
score of Irish nativity? Uniformly, sirs,
they are ignorant, pTesuming persons, too
lazy or too incompetent TO earn livelihood
by any Of the more legitimate means.
The Irish are able, ready and willing to
cross bayouets with the foes of this glorious
Union, which gave them a shelter from
tyIaDous misrule; and they know we'll
enough that their valor is too strongly testi-
fed 10 by the battle fields of the old and the
new world to require any advocacy in the
present day. II is not the gallant disiuter-
ested portion Of my countrymen that whine
about the political neglect toward Irishmen;
it is not the competent, educated class. 1t

eis, whose capsbility lies in cunning using
of The prejudlcrs of an ignorant class to for
war0 their own private interests
Let an Irishman, whose merit fits him for
the office he seeks be nominated by his
countrymen, and | am satisfied that the lib
eIal good sense of the American community
will generally indOrse the man. On the
other hand, let the brawling whisky-treaters
hrszenly push their ignorant pretensions be-
fore the people; know THAT even the loudly
proclaimed merits of their country can NOT

place they scramble for.

The st. Louis papers of yesterday give
note Of movements in General Fremonts
division:
On Saturday nine steamers lying at the
levee were chartered by General Fremont.
Their names are Emma, Emile, Minnehdha,
u. ID. Bacon, Nortderner, w. L. Etoing, j.
d. Perry, Sam Gdty and Post Boy. These,
added to others already engaged, make a
fleet Of fourteen or fifteen steamers which
are now actively engaged in an important
expedition under General Fremont.
Yesterday, the ~. W. Graham, Northsrner,
W. H.. Etging, Sam Gaty, d. G. TAYLOR, II. d.
Bacon, and A. Nc DoVeH, were busy at the
landing taking on troops and military stores
and equipments. The Northerner Graham,
E,ciag, and Gdty, shipped Colonel ELliss
cavalry Regiment Of seven hundred and
fifty men, and the same number of horses.
The Taylor took on board Colonel Keltons
Regiment; the Bacon, Colonel BANDS Regi-
ment; and the McDotcen Colonel Knobles-
DORIS Regiment of Northwestern Rifemen.
All we know of the destination of this
formidable feet is, that the boats have turned
their noses up stream, and are undoubtedly
bound for the Missouri River.
The First Nebraska Regiment, Colonel
Thayer, has gone to Jefferson City; the Illi-
nois Regiment of Colonel Hovey and Carlin's
Ohio Artillery to Ironton.

Colonel nInllienn- Freedom of sresoh

Noloutt HENGuum Ol bpGbCus
The failure of the military authorities at
st. Louis to re-enforce Colonel Mulligan
having been animadverted upon with some
severity by the editor of the NeVs, in that
city, the Office of that journal has been seized,
the editor arrested and the publication sus-
pended. How far this will go TO prevent
people from having their thoughts upon the
subject can better be told by. and. by. If the
military authorities-it will not do to say
General Fremont-want the people to do all
the more thinking the shortest way to pro
duce the desired result is to suppress the
newspapers.
There has been one other instance Of the
abandonment of a brave and meritorious of
fcer in Missouri; and after these things
have been several times repeated, the people
will begin to inquire at whose door the
blame is to lie. The inquiry, in the public
mind, will not be hushed up by the sup
preston of newspapers, nor the arrest of
editors. Somebody" says the cautious
telegraph, somewhere, has been guilty of
great wrong Who that somebody is we
are unable to say. 1t could not have been
General Fremont tor it was for mentioning
his name in connection with the affair that
the editor of the NeVs was arrested; and
this would not, of course, have happened,
had General Fremont been to blame. That
brave, active, and accomplished officer was
it is to be presumed, deeply engaged in COM
pounding another proclamation by which the
rebels were to be terribly frightened, and
Quakers, strong-minded women and Minis
tiers Of the Gospel elevated to high degree of
moral heroism and blood-thirsty valor--so
absorbed as to be totally unaware of the
danger to which the gallant Colonel was ex-
posed.
Literary pursuits are very absorbing.
While engaged in them, General Fremont
does not see his most intimate friends. It is
possible that the first proclamation cost us
General Lyon about whose untimely taking
off, in consideration of the feelings of his COM
manding officer, too little has been said He
was sacrificed and some think it was enmity
and some incapacity, which left him to fight
the only real battle of the war, and fall, over
powered by superior numbers. What was
being concocted when Colonel Mulligan was
forgotten, time perhaps will disclose. Per-
haps in the minds of those who love swelling
periods and have taste for strong meas
ures-on paper-the literature will pay for
the loss.

Denth Of Colonel Johnston. Of OhIo.

Colonel H. P. Johns on, native of Ohio,
but leaving Kentucky a few years since for
Lawrence, Kansas, was with Colonel Mont
gomery in the late fight at Morristown, NO.,
and was killed.
Victory crowned the expedition led by
Montgomery, whose force numbered six
hundred men. One hundred rebel horses
were captured. Colonel Johnston rode at
the head of the column. The first shot OF
the rebels was directed at Colonel Johnston.
He rode gallantly and fearlessly far into the
ranks of the enemy, and nine shots took
effect upon him. No similar instance of
personal bravery has occurred since the war
began.
Colonel Johnston received three bullet
wounds in the head, two buckshot in the
neck one bullet in the left shoulder one in
the left thigh, one in the right hand and one
in the left. His death was almost instanta-
neous. He died urging Kansas men to fight
for the flag his own life was lost in defend
ing
The engagement was brief and complete
Union victory. Our men killed and captured
all who did not run too rapidly, and burned
the villain town. Six were wounded on our
side.
The following is an extract from letter
dated Charleston, Mississippi County, No.,
September IA, 1861;
All quiet here. Pillow
has left New Madrid, after robbing the peo-
pie of this county of seven thousand dollars
worth Of property, consisting of wagons and
horses. 1t is thought by some that to effect
this robbery was the only object he had in
view in invading Missouri.

THE NEXT LIEUTENANT GENERAL.-About
six months ago, says the New York Adyer-
tise7, distinguished gentleman of this city
was dining with General Scott, and in
course of conversation remarked to the Gem
eral that be would in all probability be the
last Lieutenant. General of the Uuited States,
that there was no one now who was worthy
to succeed him, or by whom his mantle could
be justly worn. The old General drew him
self up in his dignifed manner, and replied
"Sir, you talk like a civilian; Congress con-
ferTed the title upon me, but there is young
man in the army who will before many
years elapse earn that distinction for him
self" No more was said on the subject at
that time, but when General Mcclellan S
name became better known to the public,
General Scott being asked by mis- former
guest whether Mcclellan was the young
man referred to in his remark, replied in the
affirmative.

cumstances: The negro, it appears, was

disposition to make great noise about the

reports are true in reference to the matter,
the sentinel did his duty as instructed.

BATTLE OF BLUE MILLS LANDMG.-The
rebels, under Boyd, Patton and others, num-
bering four thousand FIVE hundred, were in
strong position near Blue Mills Landing.
Colonel Smith, from Cameron, and Lieuten.
ant-Colonel Scott, of the Iowa Third, ex-
pec;ed to unite their forces, but the latter
not waiting the arrival OF Colonel Smith, ad-
vanced mis- skirmishers-his force being part
OF the Third Iowa, a few Home Guards, and
part Of German artillery company from st.
Louis, with one slx-poupder.
A long list of wounded attests, in bloody
record, the preciptancy of this attack. The
Third Iowa needed retrieving their character
for courage in the affair at Shelbina, and
went TO the other extreme.
The killed of the Iowa regiment were
three, six of the Home Guards, and one ar
tileryman. Six are missing, and ninety
wounded.

ANOTHER CATHOLIC VoIoE.-The New York
Tablet, Roman Catholic journal, utters
these patriotic sentiments:
In common with, perhaps, large major
ity Of the people Of the North, we wished to
live in peace and harmony with the South,
and we believed that the best way to pro-
mote and maintain that peace was TO let our
Southern neighbors manage their own busi-
ness, provided they did not interfere with
ours, If this course had been taken, in all
probability affairs had never come to this
crisis, but now that the harm is done and the
SCutheTneTs have seen fit to have recourse to
war for a settlement Of differences which
might have been arranged on more amicable
terms, we deem it the duty of every good Oiti-
zen, be his creed or politics what they may,
to stand by the Government of the country
in defense of the Union, 1t matters not to
US what political party holds the reins, the
Tablet is committed to no party in the State,
and speaks for none, but it will ever support
the Government of the United States with
out regard to the name of the Chief Magis-
tIate or the peculiar shade OF his politics.
