the following:
CARRoILroN, KY, Nov, II, 1862.
The people of Prestonville, KY, the
most rabid secesh in the State, tore down
the Union flag about a year ago, and
put upa Confederate flag in its place,
and declared that another Union flag
should never float in that town again.
Col Isaac P. Gray, Of the 4th Indiana
cavalry, came that way the other day,
and issued an order that the citizens of
Prestonville should make with their own
hands Union flag and put it upon the
pole where they had the Confederate flag,
and have it flying by 9 o'clock Saturday
morning, They begged hard to have
flag furnished them, but the Colonel said
"No; you tore down the Union flag and
you shall replace it. If you do it volun-
tarily, all right; if not, will drive you
together and compel you TO make it.
When Saturday morning came it was
floating in the breeze The Union peo-
pie are highly gratiGed at the way Col
Gray served these rebels; in fact, the
course he has pursued here has done
much good.
Our paroled prisoners have been ex-
changed. On Saturday Gen. Noble tele-
graph9d to the Secretary of War state
ment of the number of the prisoners now
in camp in Indiana. On yesterday the
gratifying news was received, in answer,
that they were all exchanged The news
was conveyed to them yesterday by the
Acknowledgement, and the cheering that
went up from the threats of the soldiers
was loud and long. The arrival of Gov
Morton in camp was the signal for re-
newed cheering and manifestations of
qualification. In answer to their requests
he addressed each regiment, informing
them that they were now free to fight for
their country, and would soon receive
marching orders for the field. A hap
pier set of men could seldom be found
than our soldiers at Camp Morton dur
ing all day yesterday.
