LATE FROM KENTUCKY.

Through the courtesy of
friend we have had the priyilege
Of reading a letter from Lexington
Kentucky, bearing date of Sep
tember 9TH. From it we make
the following interesting extracts
"Wc have been suffering much
from the presence Of the Lincoln
army here. They took a fine
mare from me, a field Of oats, all
my fruit, and all the other pro-
ducts Of my place, paying ne not
one cent for anything. am sat
isfed, however, as it is. Iescaped
imprisonment and took no oaths.
"We are confident now that
Cincinnati and Louisville VII be
promptly taken by the Confeder-
.ates, and that the Ohio will be a
permanent line Of defense. Dc
not be surprised to hear that the
capitals of Ohio and Indiana sur
render to the Confederate armies
SOON" f
I 70 the same gentleman we are
also indebted for a copy Of the
Lexington Statesman, Of the 9th
instant. 1t is full of interesting
news and we use its columns free
~. ..s-.4
The Statesman was suspended
nearly a year ago, and has been
revived the moment freedom Of
speech was secured to that gar
den spot Of the world. Its pifn-
cipaI editor, Major Thomas B.
Monroe, Jr., fell gallantiy leading
the 4th Kentucky regiment in a
charge at Shiloh, s,I

all the Blue Grass region, velun-

other. This is fair sample of
the loyalty of the mass OF the Ken
tuckians.
4 From all I can learn respecting
the number, condition and organi-
cation of our forces here, and the
Notifications, / have no fear but
that we shall be able to repulse
the enemy. ! hope we may yet
be able to bag Kirby Smith aid
his horde of unwashed and ragged
rebels, and once more rid kentneky
Of its invaders, and punish those
of her citizens who, while profess
ing loyalty to the Union, have, on
the first appearance Of rebel SOL
dier, halIoed as loudly as any one
for Jeff. Davis and the Confcderacy.
If our armies in marching into
.rebellious city were only received
in tie same manner as those OF
the rebels are when entering a city
or town, we should then have
some hopes regarding the loyalty |
of the people, but they are not,
ard I much fear this feeling against
us is growing worse and worse ev-
cry day. l have yet to learn OF
one instance, fully established,
where our men have been received
in the South, or rather in slave
territory, as were the rebels the
other day in Lexington and Paris.
What are we to infer from this
Certainly not that there is a strong
Union feeling existing among the
and a wish to come
once more under the old flag. When
we see the feeling existing ameng
fcmales-they who naturally de-
sire peace--so bitter, SO clanorons
for war and blcodshed, and desi-
ring the determination OF the
Yankees, we can hope for no better
feeling on the part of their faith !

POLITICAL AFFAIRS N TIE NORTH.
The political campaign in the
North is creating a good deal of
attention. The Washington Re
publican, the home organ of Mr..
Lincoln, holds. that the real issue
in the present political contest
of the North .'is not the Execu-
tive management Of the war, but
the action of the republican mem
bers of Congress. for which alone
the republican party is response
bic The election in Maine had
resulted in the choice of Abner
Cobwan, formerly a whig and NOW
a republican, for Governor, and
IN unbrokcn republican delegation
TO Congress. The republicanshave
carried both branches of the State
legislature and thus secured the
of United States Sena-
tor tosueceed Hon. Lot. NJ Morrill,,
whose term expires March 4, 1863.
Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr., the
present Governor, is a candidate
for the position. Returns from

,.s We suppose that in many cases
the statements made in our news
papers, of the alacrity with which
they say recruiting is going on,
are prompted by creditable mo-
tives., IN some of the smaller
towns Of the State the quota has
been filed up without much trouble;
but it is certain that volunteering
drags heavily in the cities and, in
fact, in a large majority Of the towns
in the Commonwealth. Some of
the newspapers in question doubt
less desire to encourage enlist
ments, and therefore put the best
show possible upon the matter;
but it is very, poor policy, after all,
unless the substantial fact is such
as'to warrant the belief that we
can SO raise the men required by
such means and by a little extla
exeftion. In orr judgment. there
is 10 reason whatever to think
that third part of the quota Of
Massachusetts, or of any part Of
New England, can be obtained
without draft. A correspondent
sends lis a communication from the
early battlefield of the r. yo.ution,

would suppose the fires of patriot

The Adyeniu eS Of a Rebel En-
lsSarY
NIAGARA FAILS, Aug. %.

There have been several -bfleI
accounts of the successful passage
across the Canada frontier Of Geo.
N. Sanders, rebel emissary to Eu-
rope, but the following statement,
gathered from those who personally
witnessed the adventure in It's We
rious stages, gives the fullest de-
tails:
SANDERS AT THE BRIDGE.
A few days ago man dressed
in well-worn working clothes pre-
sented himself TO the United States
Provost Marshal on the Bridge. He
wore pair of very short trousers
Of striped Kentucy jean, and a
seedy coat Of the same material.
A coarse, not over-clean shirt. and
a Jagged straw hat completed the
costume. The man had no collar
or cravat, and his face was appa-
rently greatly tanned by exposure
to the weather.
He wanted to 60 over the river
he said, but had no pass, and did
not know that any would be need
ed. He stated that he was an
Englishman from Cornwall, and
a miner by trade. He had been
working for some time in Penn
sylvania, but had lately received
a letter from his brother, a farmer,
near London, Canada West, stating
that he was short of help, and
urging his miner relative to come
on to his assistance, at least till
the harvest time was over.
The miner held his tools in one
hand and in the other carried an
old carpet bag of the black glazed
style in common use. The glaz-
ing in many places was come of,
and the outside was moreover spot
ted and soiled with dirt,
This carpet bag was more val
liable than the famous one of John
Brown; for itcontained the papers,
dispatches, and money of the rebel
emissary Sanders.
TIE PASSAGE ACROSS.
The Marshal pondered awhile,
but the poor miner gave 'sach a
consistent story, and seemed SO
disappointed at his unexpected
trouble in crossing, that the Off
ciafs heart wasmelted and he gave
him the required pass.

ALWAYS TRIUMPHANT YET ALWAYS

cent battles, saysof the Federal

Notwithstanding all these splen-
did victories and great gallantry,
the ''invincible" Federal forces,
who were once in few miles of
Richmond, are now behind the fer
tlfications upon Arlington Heights
If things SO on much longer after
this fashion, Jackson will be in
possession Of Washington. In all
our reading we have no recollec-
ton with having met before with
a victorious army always triumph
ant yet always retreating. Like
most other sciences, the science of
war, we suppose, is progressive,
but this ront OF victorious progress

Of men who are demonstrated to be unOt

we are now undergoing. The people are
awake 10 the-langer, ard are resolved to
meet il. We have tried the radicals, agi'
tators and abolitionists long enough. They
have succeeded, 10y their foolish and i'm
practicable schemes and legislation, only
in uniting the South as one man against
US, ard o. dividing the North into par
ties, which, unless more moderate councils
prevail, promise soon TO become Us deadly
hostile to each other a3 the South can
wish.
The President who regards his oath, the
general who is opposed to negro insurrec
ton, and the citizen that dares talk Of
constitutional obligations and privileges,
have already become obnoxious to this
progressive school, and where the end

The ballot box is now our only remedy.

Besides the State ticket, which we have

Wilmot, will expire ON the Ith of March
next, at which lime it will dcyolye upon

rendersNt especially desirable that the

ate Republican like Cowan as his col

Our readers have doubtless heard some.
thing Of the rumoyod proposals of peace
from the Confederate Government GoY-
ernmont at Richmond From the follow,
ing 'emarks of the Richmond Enquirer it
would seem that the rumor was not alto.
gcthcr without foundation.
1t will be remembered that certain
"peacc propositions were referred to the
committee ON foreign relations, in the
House OF representatives, some days ago,
and were duly reported on We have
published the speech Of Nr. Foote, chair.
man Of that committee, in favor Of the
policy Of making peace oyeItures at this
time, Inrou IN The action of Congress. We
copy tooday, on lhe other side Of the ques-
zion, the report Of the minority OF the
committee which was presented to the
House on the l9ta instant, by Mr.. Barks-
dale.
There is no doubt that our whole Con
tedoracy ardently desires peace. We nev.
or wanted war. We did not make the
war We stood, and are standing on our
defense against a wicked aggression Wo
are lighting Tor peace; OF course we wish
for it.
For ourselves, too, we look with much
interest, not only for peace, but such di-
vision Of the present Northern RupubIic
US shall secure peace in the future.
But while We want peace, and want TO
see the division of the republic that Dor.
de.s Us on the North VIC think, with the
majority report, that the best way to sea
