believed in the philosophy that distance

HoRRoRs or CWIL WAR.-During tne
hottest of the battle on the Saturday before
the surrender of Fort Donelson, two Ken
lucky regiments were brought face to face
one on the federal the other on the rebel
side. In each of these regiments were two
companies from Henderson county, and in
each of the companies were two brothers.
The one in Capt. Holloway's company
battling for the old "time honored ban
ner was dangerously wounded, while
his rebel brother escaped nnhurt and twas
taken prisoner. Old school-mates in these
companies were forced to shed each others
blood by the infamous authors, of this infa-
NOUS rebellion. What punishment at all
proportionate to their crime can be melted
out to these traitorous leaders -
