rzy-A letter from the west part Of thc


E1-A letter from the west part Of the
county says he secession sympathizers ale
using every influence to bring out indepen-
dent candidates in view of drawing off
enough votes to secure the election of anti
war democrats to the county and Assem-
bly, offices. No true friends to the gov
eminent and union can favor such factious
conduct these perious times. The county
conventions, a body Of as good and faith
full citizens as ever met together in this
county, have nominated ticket Of as good
men as were ever selacted. Where so
many excellent men We're candidates, there
was but li.te choice. and the chances are
that the Independent candidates however
worthy will be no improvement upon the
regular andidates-while their running
could but hazard the election Of regular
candidates without holding any show on
their own behalf, yet aiding the election Of
anti war democrats.

U. s. Senator TO be Elected.

"A successor to Hon. j. r. Doolittle, in
the u. S. Senate is to be elected by the
Assembly chosen this fall. Of course
mono but out and out union and active
friends of the war and administration
should be chosen for the Assembly. Re
member friends Of the union, that you
may regret to the end Of life, should your
vote be the means Of electing to the u.
S Senate man whose every vote in Con-
gross shall be cast with and for the enc
mics of your country. In the light before
us all, no man can plead ignorance and
say, II aras deceived and voted for that
enemy TO nay country" Slavery has come
to bette sole cause of treason. The indi-
vidual who believes that the rebel institu-
ton Of slavery should be especially pro-
teeted by our army, is traitor at heart,
whatever his profession may lie.
Therefore, see that no sympathizer for
the corner stone Of rebellion" is chosen to
the Assembly, and then there will be no
danger Of being deceived. Republicans
and war democrats, rally as one man for
such men for the Assembly as are sound
for the union, for the war, for liberty!

Louisville. Oct. 2


The Journal is informed Of a sharp
skirmish last night with Gen. Stills advance
and 1000 rebel cavalry, at Floyd's Fork,
the enemy being posted on surrounding
hills. We repulsed them; they returned.
We then brought our artillery against
them, when they again fled. We captured
in an old house in that vicinity 10000
rounds Of ammunition.
Heavy musketry firing was heard on the
Shelbygille road sixteen miles distant, at
8 o'clock this morning. The result is un.
known.
The Journal also says a skirmish took
place this morning five miles distant on the
Batdstown road. The rebels were epulsed.
Their loss is unknown, Our loss i twenty
five in kiled and wounded.
Gen. CIV. Morgan,with bis whole force
from Cumberland Gap, has reached the
Ohio River opposite Portsmouth at the
mouth of the Scota River.
Cannonadine has been head here to-day
near Mount Washington, in the vicinity Of
Salt River.
The rebels evacuated ShelbyyilIe last
night, first compelling store keepers to re-
ceive confederate scrip in payment for what
they wanted. At Paris, Kentucky, all
stosss keepers, excepttwo secesb, send their
goods away. The rebels procured Of the
two supply Of blankets, paying in confed-
crate scrip. The blankets giving out, they
insisted in cutting up the store keep
er's carpets for blanketing. These secesh
store keepers declined receiving confed-
crate scrip for the carpets, when they were
arrested and put in jail for dlscrediting con-
federate money.
We learn that Kirby Smith has been
playing the same game upon several secesh
store keepers at Lexington.

ARE NEWSPAPERS LIARS Rev. Henry
Wurd Beecher, in the course of a recent SER
mon, made an eloquent plea for newspa'
pers, speaking of them as one of Che most
potent elements of our civilization. "There
is," said he, "a common vulgar objection
about newspapers that they lie So; they
don't lie any more than you do. Man is
naturally lying creature. Truth is gift
from Heaven, and very few of US possess il
before they get there. Tho newspapers give
both facts and rumors, and they would
be blamed if they did not do so. 1t is for
the reader to judge of these rumors. The
last economy should be in regard to news
papers. 1t is better to deprive the body OF
some ribbon or jewel or garment, than to
deprive the mind Of its sustenance."

has sense enough to know that she eau, ana

She will not miud telling her age If she looks

of their aged relatives and preceptors, some
of whom If thew catch them doing so, are
so incensed as to scod them, making them

which il does not bring to every body, will,
if their dispositions are kindly and genial,
