Army Correspondence.

BOWLING green, KY. Nov 5, 1862
Ed Free Trader-We have just arrived
here after ten days hard marching We
tnued our march day after day until about
S o'clock last evening, when we reached
our present locality. We are now en-
camped on Lost rivera most singular
south OF us, and flows along through the
country, sometimes above ground and
then underneath, but the course of the
river is distinctly marked until it reaches
this point, here it rushes with a roar into
the jaws of en- immense cavern and disap.
pears Whittier it flows to from here is
unknown, as there are no further indica-
tons on the surface to point out its course.
Bowling Green is about miles from our
camp 1t is pleasantly located town, of
from four to five thousand inhabitants in
ordinary times but at present the greater
part are driven off by the contending
armies who have held the place in turn
ever since the war began. We are also but
a few miles from the famous battle field Of
Mill springs, where the noted Zollicoffer
was killed by Col. Fry, OF Ohio.
On Monday we passed Cave city, the
stopping place of visitors to the Mammoth
Cave The city" consists Of a few old
huts surroundings tolerable looking coun-
try tavern and an immense water tank.
The foundation, however, of spacious
and comfortable hotel is laid here and the
walls of the first story nearly completed.
This region abounds in excellent building
material The whole countryis under!aid
by the finest quality of lime stone, much
of it nearly pure white, resembling Yer
mont marble The soil, however is mis-
cradle compared with Illinois, consisting Of
yellow and red clay, and SO rocky that it
and tobacco seem to be the leading pro
ducts Everything is scarce and very
high The whole country this side of
Bardstown has been laid waste by the con-
tending armies.
At Munfordsville we passed over the
recent battle field The graves Of those
who fell are still fresh. Cannon balls,
grape and shell were found scattered
around on the field, and many parts Of it
still show evidences of the bloody conflict
| 1t was here the rebels took some 1000
prisoners in the early part of September.
The march from Frankfort here was
very severe upon the men, bnt they stood
it remarkably well. We (Co. A left but

fraudulently pretend to do it, and leave
the whole thing undone, as the republicans
did. Perhaps they will think that, in ex-
ercising the power of confscation, some
discrimination ought to be made against
slave property and in favor of The freedom
of the 'chattel," and perhaps not. The
whole subject is surrounded with Difficult
ties, and when the democratic party take
it up, they will do SO with all the calmness,
wisdom, and forecaste that belong to
statesmen, instead of being carried away
with the blind fury of small FASHIONED
demagogues They will levy their confs
cation in such a way that it will tell in de
fraying and indemnifying the expences Of
the war, and thus save the people, pro rata
against having their substance eaten out,
and their land covered by horde Of
greedy and officious tax gathercrs
The subject grows on our hands, aud we
must defer its continuance to another

La SALE COUNTY-The 10th Regiment,

How many Republicans voted the Demo,
cratic ticket at the last election?
A pretty close approximation can be
made to a correct answer to this question
1t is tolerably certain, that of all the re-
cruits that haye left La Sale county, OUT
side of those comprized in the lO4th Reg'.,
there was about an equal proportion OF
Democratic and Republican voters. Opin-
ions do not G. eatly differ on that question
among those best informed we think ra-
Their ,pseponderance of them were demo
Gratis
Then, take the 10ith Regiment, perhaps
three-quarters of these were Republicans,
tSat is a liberal estimate for them. About
600 bona tide voters of La Sale county left
with the Regiment. $50 of them, then,
were Republicans, $50 Democrats; deduct
these from the $50 Republicans, and it
leaves 800 as the net loss Of the Republi
, can vote Assume that all these votes; in
1850, which is little more than can be
true, and deduct them from the Rrepubli-
can majority then-lO5O-and it leaves
80 as the majority which the Republicans
ought to have ,had to,have held their own.
But, thesyote of 1862 was not SO large by
about one. fifth as the vote of 1850 There,
fore, deduct one fifth from the above ma.
jority, and it leaves 600 as the majority
that the Republicans ought to have had
Il
with 1860. But, instead of having this
majority. they were in minority of go
which added to 600, shows difference OF
SO in the result; and it follows: of course,
that half that number, 435 Republicans
who voted for Lincoln in 1860, must have
now voted the Democratic ticket, in order
to produce that result
That will do to begin with: keep the

Yes, come on, we give you our pledge"
was the reilly.
Accordingly the secesh volunteer came
over and swallowed two large cups OF cof-

meat. After he had satisfied himself. he
expressed his thanks, pronounced the re-
