This did not answer the case Of the rebel |
owners, and accordingly they procured an
order from Gen. G., most acceptable to the |
aed, sending the regiment away from Mt
Sterling. At Winchester, on the rond to
Lexington, the citizens threatened, with the
aid Of the 18th Kentucky, to "clean out"
the Illinois boys. Col. Atkins accordingly
marched through th- town with fixed bay
onets and loaded gu 8, and an excellent
stomach for the fight. 1t Lexington the
rabble came into the ranks Of the 92d aud
tried to take one Of the negroes, belonging
to one Of the worst secessionists in Ken
tucky. Col. Atkins went to the rear where
the tracas was going on and told them that
if they dared to interfere vita his march
he would fire voney into them, SO help
| him God! Whercupon they fell back in
disorder. The regiment then continued its
march toward Nic1eolasville.
But the negro hunters pcrscycrcd. Two
miles south Of Lexington they came into
the csnp OF the 92d with hat full OF docu-
1ncnts, Of which the following are samples;
