A Military Despotism.

We frequently hear it suggested that
steps are on foot in certain circles to
fasten upon the people a military dicta
tor. We can we'll conceive how danger
GUS is such q contingency-how surely
we are drifting toward military despot-
ism, after reading recent ORDERS ema-
mating from the heads of Government
Look at the order published in our dis
patches yesterday, from President Lin
colnl Is there a despotism in Europe
equal to that now prevailing in our coun-
try? Did Americans ever believe that
they would quietly submit to what has
already been inflicted upon them by the
present dynasty--that they would SO
completely wear the yoke of their aboli-
ton rulers 2 And when thus much has
been borne, will not their tyrannical per-
secutors or masters be tempted to go still
further? We very much fear that our
"great and free people have not yet
reached the depths of degradation in
store for tnem-their cup of humiliation
is not yet fill Viacennes San. ~ y
Ifyou think there is not despotism
in Europe equal to that now prevailing
in our country" why don't you go to
Europe to i've Secretary Seward viii
gladly give you passport out of the
country, and we are not so sure but that
the patriotic citizens of this district would
raise a subscription to pay your expenses
just for the sake of getting rid of you.
We guess You s0iU quietly submit; if
not there is way to insure your sub
mission. Loyal men have nothing to
fear from the Presidents proclamation
and heartily endorse it 1t is reserved
for those who are plotting treason and

a prisoner in the hands of the guerrillas,
the women and children heaped upon
him every mark of contempt styling
him % Yankee" which they seemed to
think was the most severe term of re-
proach they could apply to any one.
On taking him to the guerrilla camp in
the rear of the town, Mr.. Dalzell found
it under the command of Col. Faulkner,

nSe The proceedings of the so-called
"loyal Governors at Altoona, shoes
some of them to be a set of pestilential
traitors and fanatics If the President
were to do his duty, he would dispense or
imprison them. These fellows, who,
thanks to temporary ascendancy of
radicalism in their States, have had en-
tirely too much latitude since the begin
ming of the war, and have done much to
retard the progress of the army and to
iniure the country They should be
taught, in a summary manner, to attend
to their own business ViaceRnes Sun.
There is patriotism, grammar and
logic, all combined A convention of
Governors, all loyal to the Government,
is called by the Only Democratic Cover
ernor, (Tod of Ohio.) They meet and
agree unanimously, with one exception,
to express their personal and official re-
spect for the President of the United
States; their determination to support
him in his constitutional power; that
they and their people viii sustain him in
all necessary. measures to suppress the
instruction They approve ofhis eman-
cipation proclamation, and finally they
suggest that it would benefit the wound
ed soldiers to be sent home to recover
from their wounds Therefore this loyal
Green-loyal to Jeff-concludes they
are traitors and fanatics, and should be
dispersed or imprisoned. That is the
logic Now to whom are those Gov
ernors traitors2 Certainly not to the
Federal Government, and why should
they be imprisoned? If the Sun had the
honesty and candor to speak its senti-
ments, it would say simply because they
pledge themselves to assist the President
in suppressing the rebellion. That is the
front of their offending. That is just the
thing the Sun editor don't want DONE
This is his patriotism The grammar
can be detected by the merest tyro.

we think, would do well by you.

Mr. EDIToR:-- ..rr tfsTF rseET
In the fight at Gigers Lake in Union
county, KY, four miles south, Of Shawne-
town, H., on the 9rd day Of September,
1862, between portion of the Kentucky
and Indiana cavalry, under the command
of Col Shackelford, and Adam Johnson
with some three hundred of his cowardly
bushwhackers, MIR. Irwin NJ Boyle, of
Newport, Ky, aged 40 years, was shot
through the right lung with minnie
ball, and was left on the field, but after
the fight he was found by a federal sol
der, who had his horse shot and killed,
The horse fell on him in such manner
as to hold him fast, and he was left
prisoner in the hands of the gnerrillas.
He had Mr. Bowie removed to the house
of a Mr.. HenshaR and his wound was
dressed and he was kindly cared for un-
til Saturday night, at o. clock, when he
yielded up his life a sacrifice to his coun-
try's cause When Mr.. Boyle was found
onthe field about two hours after he bad
been wounded, he was lying in the hot
sunshine calling for water. 1t was given
to him Immediately. He raised himself
on his elbow, and his first inquiry
was comrades have we won the day2Pa
This man had the evidence with him
that he had beer faithful soldier in the
service of his country for nine years and
had borne his part in many a hard fought
battle. He was also in the fight at Gym
thiana, Ky, in the Newport Home
Guards, and had enlisted in Col. Shack
Chords Ky cavalry regiment, but had
never been sworn into the service up to
the time he was MORALLY wounded, but as
he told his comrades who remained with
him till he died, he was satisfied to do
and die Unnecessary in the defense of his
glorious country. -r,.....-

/ think it my duty to make this statement,
and if you choose you may publish the
same in justice to one more true patriot
who has shed his blood in the cause Of
freedom, and that his friends and connec-
tons may know that he was cared for
properly by an old school mate of his
who had not seen him for thirty years up
to the time he found and recognized him
MORALLY wounded on the field of battle.

Ba~We heard a few days ago rumor
of the arrest of Capt W. H. Fairbanks of
this city, Adjutant on Gen Crufts Staff,
but discredited it until yesterday, when
we were assured such was the case. The
facts we learn were: Gen. Nelson rode
up where the Adjutant and several 9TH
ers were sitting and getting off told him
to hold his horse. Capt. f., turning to
an Orderly, requested him to take charge
of the Generals horse. At this General
N. waxed wroth, and the finale of the
affair was, Captain Fairbanks had his
sword taken from him and suspended
from the service forty days. Wabash
