that they retreatel because they have

marches through Southern Kentucky to

the war into the North, and by the ur.

Felio,c Ciisens.
It's necessary for our defense that
immediate steps be taken for a more
perfect organization and discipling Of
the militia Vt the several counties in
WHICH the authority Of the recognized
Stale Government is recognized.
A small force Of rebel cavalry have
cJossej from the Mountains to the Riv-
II. They have come among US, no,
with any expectation Of permanently
subjecting Virginia to the Letcher Gov.
ernment, but to steal our horses, de.
stfoy pablo and private property, Gre
ate alarm AMI confusion. and then es.
cape across the mountains with as much
plunler as they can carry away. With a
better organization Of our militia force,
few resolute men could have driven
them in disgrace from cur soil.
We shall be constantly liable to these
raids until we are prepared to protect
ourselves. Every tue man without re-
gard TO military age, who isableto han.
die gun, should enrol himself in some
militia or volunteer company, arm him
self, turn out frequently for drill, until
he acquires Unnecessary knowledge TO
make hinlsylf an rffaeiivc soldier, When.

defonse Of his hone; and more than this
