tbe most uagnanimous Government you ever cav or

A day or two since, one Franco, NsW-Odeens Jew,

have 10 doubt many such as this jew will be turned
loose under our Generals benign proclamation.
There are some occurrences worth record which
escape the notice of the public during war Of mani
fold great events Ike the present. Among these II
the fact that When Buckner army first macLed into
Kentucky. before they had reached Bowling Green,
ssven men had the hardihood to FIRE iuto tie ranks.
They aimed so wen that two officers were killed and
snumber Of the men wounded. 4 heavy ire wai
poured upon them, but none were hurt. One wtf
taken prisoner, aud it is thought be was shot. Ny
informant saws thnt it was believed at the 6me oo'
of the officers killed in the Rebel army was tie Hon
James NJ. Quarles, formerly member Of tie Unite'
States CongIess from Tennessee. | DOUBT this eE
ceedinely, as have heard frequently from Tcuuos
zee since the invasion Of our STATE by Bulkuer, an,
should most likely have heard mention made Of tit
fact if a man OF such poe bad been killed in
skirmish.
In the invaded region, the Home Guards arc
hunted for their arms as orches hunted for their
feathers; and in these hunts the most revolving bar
barities are committed. In Christian County, as
squad Of these marauders were pa sung through
lane Monroe Cannon, Il loyal man, saw them ap-
proachng him. and attempted 10 run ont OF tleir wy
Immediately Eve or six Of them fred upon the un.
armed man, aud brought ha 10 the ground danger
ousy wounded in the back. A squad went, on ano-
ther occasion to the house of Mr.. liable, and asked
him to lend them valuable horse, to carry sick
soldier to camp. lie readily complied with their re-
quest The next day, when lie sent for bis horse,
some palry excuse was made for not returning him.
On bis sending second time, be was notified that if
he seut again. he would be compelled to submit to
some greater loss than his horse.
The notion Of sending arms all over the aeptral
Etate Of Kentucky. 10 unoIgaDized loyal men-thst
Il, to men merely organized into conpanies-was an
exceedingly rich and original idea; ana have no
doubt S. B. Buckner frequently laughed himself into
convulsions at the thought of gathering UP the m-
proved weapons sent out by our Uncle Abraham
have intimated already, unless one Of my letters
sent YOU was not published that, in the beginning Of
Mr. Lncoln's Administration, there WIS a screw
loose. Tie l0oseness OF that screw was caused by
the fact that Mr.. Lincoln fell into tie error Of sup
posing that soundDess Of patrotism necessarily car
ries with il sonndness Of judgment. Ireninded youl

saneed cases which were pointed out to tie proper
Department, but which that Department re)used to
see. All your readers know that, when a man re
fuses to see, bis blindness Is incufable That loose
screw in Tennessee was used by tue conspirators
for their own purposes. The very Rokes Seoession-
tsts were smugged into office, and agter serying the
purposes Of tie X &. G. as United States officers
were continued in place as G. S. A. officers. Having
drawn the loose screw flom the unsteady timbers Of
Government they fitted it properly into the work Of
treason, and made it tight.
