Southern Kentucky.

II is the fixed purpose Of the leading |
rebels Of Kentucky, to scourge this great
tobacco growing region with all the evils
of guerrilla warfare, IL possible. The
chiefs and their understrappers are now
busily employed in raising recruits, Sc
lecting suitable stopping places, and pro-
curing spies and informers preparatory
to series Of incursions through the
First Second, and Third Congressional
Districts, which embrace some of the
most beautiful and fertile parts Of this
State. The Confederate leaders are anx-
ious to have control Of the Cumberland
river from a point e1ui- distant from
GAINESVILLE and this city, down nearly TO
its mouth, so as to render its navigation
hazardous. The guerrilla leaders know
that vast sum of money has been re-
ceived by the tobacco growers through
the region referred to recently, and hope
TO replenish theirpockets by general rob-
berry. We advise the planters 70 dispose
Of their funds without delay, if they wish
to keep it from the hands Of these shame
less and insatiate thieves. 1t is certain
that the tobacco cropwill bring an enor-
nous price during the coming Fall and
Winter, and the guerrilla leaders have an
eye on this A successful tour through
that region would be as profitable as the
piracy Of a California steamer. These
raids can be prevented by the planters, if
they have the patriotism and the energy
TO do il. If they will begin Immediately
to organize forces fortwelye months SER
vice in the State, break up the guerrilla
nests before the eggs are hatcked and
the viper puts out its head, contribute
money literally to fitting GU. young men
who have not the means TO 60 into the
service, and show by their words and
conduct that theyuare in earnest about
putting down these guerrillas, they will
have no trouble with them But if they
fold their arms in idleness, and trustFolely
to others for protection, they will embol-
den and virtually ihyTte the marauders 10
ravage and desolate their farms, and cut
Off all trade and commerce. We urge
our friends TO attend to this in time, Il
they do, we predict that they will find the
coming Fall the most lucrative season Hsl
hare eUey get enjoyed, and good tobacco com.
manding from $50 to $40 por hundred
Farmers, will you act the part Of vigilanf
and determined patriots, and prosper
or will you initiate the example set yor
by the infatuated cotton planters who
instead Of meeting treason at the outset
yielded TO II, until they find themselves
the helpless victims Of its fury, and thei
splendid plantations one wide field o
black and smoking desolation? Arm i'm
mediately against the gueirillas-driv
them out Of your country-you have no
a day to lose.
The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1862-07-31

War is no holiday business, for the en-
tertainment Of spruce gentlemen and
fashionable beaux; Il is stern conflict
which taxes 70 the utmost all the powers
Of mind and body. A commander,
whether high or low, should be yigilant
for the comfort and health Of his soldiers;
he should have them as well fed, as well
clothed and as well lodged as himself,
as far as possible; he should attend yigi-
lantly TO their health, and watch over the
sick he should be with his force always,
with rare exceptions, and never be alb
sent in time of danger; he should cul-
tivate the acquaintance and gain the af-
fections Of his men, furnishing the bad
and honoring the brave he should never
allow his soldiers 10 be siragglers, and
should dread surprise by the enemy as
one Of the most disgraceful things that
could befail him. Doubtless many have
entered the army with good inlendons,
who find now that they,fall short Of this
standard We blame them not for their
! ignorance--alI men cannot know them
selves but we do demand of all such
officers, in thc name Of an imperilled
country, that they shall immediately re
sign, and let their commands be taken by
those who viii sacrifice all they have got
upon the altar of their country. .ua.

The Buffalo On. " Commercial says
A dispatch from Gen. MoClellan's
headquarters says that "many rosigna-
tions of officers are being sent in, but
none are granted, except TO those who are
worthless" When the gentry who have
worn shoulder straps and drawn Cow
crnment pay during the long months of
preparation, abandon their posts and re-
turn TO their homes, like towards, in the
hour of danger, let it be remembered that
they were allowed TO leave the army
simply because they have been tried and
found "worthless,' and that Mcclellan
prefers 20 have their posts occupied by
men who are competent to fiji them hon
orably and with profit TO the country.
Cannot some means be devised to rid
the armyof the leechcs who have fastened
themselves upon il, TO suck out its life
blood 2 At the hotels of nearly every
city may be seen scores Of stout, stylishly
dressed young officers, who have been
absent from their post and their COM
mands for weeks and in some instances
for months. When with their commands
they are insolent tyrannical, and distant
10 their soldiers, and show the most
heartless indifference TO, or tho most
wretched ignorance Of their wants. Hun
dreds of noble men are sacrificed to the
incompetcncy of their officers, This in
competence must be branded as Infamous
and not only infamous, but the Govern
ment must punish it with the heaviest
penalties. 1t is fact that mulutudes Of
