WHAT THE REBELS ARE DoINd IN LEX
INGTOE.-A Union man who escaped
from Lexington, Kentucky, and arrived
in Coyington on Friday, states that, by
a recent order of Gen. Kirby Smith, all
the stoves in that city have been seized,
and carried to the founderies, where thew
are cast into shot and shell. The refu-
gee thinks that the rebels are making
preparations to evacuate that city at an
early day. They will make desperate
stand on the south bank of the Ken
tucky river, where they have had large
force at work for several weeks, fortify-
ing. Every yard of Jeans in Lexington,
Georgetown, Versailles, and other places
has been taken by Kirby Smith to clothe
his soldiers, who are now in pretty good
condition, having been living of the fat
of the land for a month or more The
rebels are kept well posted in regard 10
the movements Of the Federal armies, by
daily arrivals at Lexington of Southern
sympathizers from Louisville, MaysvilIe.
OoviDgton, and other border cities and
towns The daily papers from Louis
vile and Cincinnati are received one day

And then thou shalt experience the truth
that,


But here is another letter Of rather a
different character from any VIC have had
yet An indignant Mrs. CAUDLE writes
to her spouse, who is doubtless as blame
less as Joseph of old; 81 hear bad news
of you, for they say that you have got
another woman for sweetheart p
Madam, we don't believe a word of it !
Your consort is no doubt as true to you
as he is to Dixie--and dirt Think too
of the absurdity of fellow going to
see a sweetheart, wearing rimless hat,
raw cOwhide shoe ON one foot, and a
toeless boot on the other, one gallows on,
both elbows out, and his shirt-tai
streaming in the Autumn windsl Nom
sense Madam, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself!
And here is one--the last and saddest--
from whose sorrow shadowed leaves we
dare not quote 1t is from a mother, a
bereaved mother, who writes to her hus-
band, far from home, and in the ranks,
that she has just buried their two and
only little children--one on one day, and
the other on the day following - and
now, like RACHEL, she is left desolate
amid the shattered fragments of the
household gods whom she worshipped.
The bright and loving eyes of her little
cherubs are closed in the long eclipse of
death, and starless gloom gathers around
her, and mortal coldness strikes her in
most heart In her husbands absence
they had become doubly precious to her,
and their sweet "Mother" and fond "Good
night" were musical to her ears as the
song Of birds Now, the little hat and
the little bonnet hang uncalled for against
the wall, and their pattering feet ring no
more through her chamber, for they are
gone forever Sad is thy fate, Oh mother;
but thou art not alone in thy bereave-
ment; for this inhuman rebellion has
made tenfold sharper the tortures Of such
Affections to thousands of mothers, who
mourn their coflined babes, in the abb
sence of the husbands who should be
present to comfort and support them in
their sore agony. Oh, corrupt, reckless
heartless leaders of this unholy rebel
lion, how these households you have des-
olated, these hearts which you have
bruised, rise up in judgment against you

Rebel Recruiting in Kentucky,

The Louisville journal Of the 9th
says:
Il will be remembered that Abe Bu-
ford was commissioned 10 raise a rebel
brigade upon the arrival Of Kirby Smiths
army az Lexington and Frankfort We
have positive information 10 the effect
that he met with indifferent success
that he has not succeeded In getting up
more than a regiment and but the mini
mum number AZ that. After all their
boasting about the uprising in their ia
vor upon their arrival in Kentucky, even
if permitted TO retreat beyond our bord-
ers without a fight the rebels will take
fewer soldiers out Of the State than they
brought into il.

Gov. Morton aud the War Tax.

immediately after the passage by Con.
greSs OF the bill to assess a direct tax, for
the purpose of aiding the Government in
crushing this most wicked rebellion, the
ann war, southern sy N pathising men OF the
north, commenced hue and cry of lis ter
rible oppression. These men from the day
II rs passage, have been cons sn,ly at work
upon the ignorant and unsuspecting They
outton-hoie every man whom they think
they can mould TO sal their views. and tell
him bow nard aud oppressive this tax IS

er with the stump orators who have been

cas- + de.anct party, have steadily work
ed upon the n inds and feelings OF the peo
PIE. an1 me have even goae 50 far a. to
tell the people that the Government had a
mortgage on every thing owned by them. -
l. is true. since this war commenced, money
has been scarce and times hard" and the
people have touad it d fficulr to raise mon
ey sufficient 10 paw their State and county
TAX mich is now due.
Governor Morton seeing this, about a
fortnight ago went to Washington, to en-
deavoI 10 make some arrangement with tho
authorities there, to offset the amount OF
this dire-t tax. which the 5 ate of Indiana
$ as TO pay. with an equal amount due the
State for arming ard equipping the soldiers.
We are informed that he has succeeded ia
making this arrangement.
But how does this suit the anti war party
/ the country, who hold party above the
Union! Thev Immediately commence an
tack upoa the Governor that he has trS rs
ended his authority. They say the law
,rnvldes that all reimbursem-nts by thu
federal Government for a iyances made by
ne State tor equipments, should be first ap
piled 10 the purchase of war bonds. and II
these could not be obtained, equa. TO the
amount OF The money received. then the
money is to be invested in Indiana 25 and
5 per cent. bonds. Grant it. But there
are some things to be looked at in the mat
ter. H. the first place, this law was passed
by our Legislature, on the 4ih 81 june, one
month be!ore Congress met, and no man
then even dreamed that the Government
would have 10 resort to this direct tax, rs a
means of raising portion of its revenue
1t the Legislature had expected this, it
would unquestionably have shaped the law
different in this particular.
Look at the benefits Of this arrangement
The expense of an extra session of the Leg
islature is avoided, aud the State pays
debt, with one due her. aud the result is the
.same as i would be If the direct tar were
Aassassa1 aud snlisxted The people are re.
lisved OF the expense Of calling an extra
session Of the Legislature aud of collecting
this tax. which has saved to the State thou
sands of dollars, and we are satisfied thst
whatever indireetness there may be. in re-
gard to the law, in making this arrange
ment, the people will indorse the action of
the Governor in this matter, and thank him
heartily for SO doing Wabash Express.
