Southern Kentucky, we believe that those OF
Us who are happily at distance from the rebel

should have their memories vividiy refreshed
by a renewal of the sad story Of the robberes,
outrsges and desolation which exists in the
lower portions of our State. Thousands of ma

been the ornament aud the strength of this
Commonwealth, and whose only offence is their
love of country, have been chased, like wild

where he remained insensible ior some time
His chief injuries seemed 10 be about the throat

daughter was thrown off the track, but so close
that the wheels passed over a portion Of her
clothes and her muif She supposed herself
under the cars and lay with her face close To

had severe flesh wound on her arm and wa
