The Louisville Journal itself does not
go before us in admiring the sterling
qualities, the patriotism, the gallantry,
and intelligence of Col McHenry, but we
would suggest to the Journal the ques-
ton whether it would be good policy for
the war department to submit to the
dictation of Col. McHenry in this mat
ter?
Is there no danger that other officers
would follow this example in other re-
spects? Or does the Journal consider
that Kentucky officers are exempt from
obedience to the articles of war r?-EU-
GnSrilIe Journal.
We said in our articles on Colonel Nc
Henry, that, in issuing his hastily-writ-
ten order, he had no thought of violating
any order of the Government He ever
recognized fully the duty of obedience
If he had felt that he could not, as an
officer, execute conscientiously the COM
mands of the powers above him, he

severe proceeding? Does it not think
that an admonition, gentle or stern,
would have been better? And would it
not now, with the assurance that there is
not the smallest particle of insubordina-
ton in him, be glad to see him restored
to the service in which he has struck so
many good blows for the country?
The last question of the Evansville pa

1t would be rather doubtful comph-
ment to Col McHenry, to say that he
did not know when the order was pro-
mulgated that its execution would be a
palpable and direct violation of the arti-
Gle of war, prohibiting the return of fugi-
tives by the military power.
Had he felt that he could not, as an
officer, conscientiously execute the arti-
Gle alluded to, or what was easier still,
simply obey it, as it requires no active
obedience, he should have resigned.
Had Colonel McHenry recalled the
order when his attention was called to
its conflict with the article of war which
lit violates, if indeed he issued it unwit-
tingly, then gentle admonition alone
would have been sufficient.
The order, as we understood it, was
never withdrawn or receded, and much
as we admire Col McHenry, we can not
but approve of his dismissal 1t was
necessary to the preservation of discip-
line to the army.
Were General Burnside or Gen. Rose
Grams to issue similar order, the same
punishment should be meted out to them.

in the matter, and would so express him.
self to the Government, we should hearth
ly rejoice in, not only his restoration to
command, but also in his promotion, to
which his gallant services have entitled
him.
Our last question was only meant to
draw from the editor of our Louisville
cotemporary the acknowledgment that
no oficier in the army, either regular or
volunteer, should be allowed any particu-
lar immunity in the discharge of his
duty.

Our GENERALs.-A Washington cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
writing on Saturday, says: "I could not
repress my regrets, as passed rapidly
through Wizards parlors last evening to
see the stout, grizzly old Heintzelman-
that prince of fighters-so like one of the
elder Napoleon's Marshals-the gallant
Keyes, whose Republican heart is in his
work-and the keen-eyed Martindale, the
hero of Hanover Court House and
Hunter, wise and brave, who fought so
well at Bull Run and ruled so benignly
at Port Royal-and Wadsworth, sagac-
ious in council, whose heart never knew
the emotion of fear, and who chafes to be
sent to the feld-and, but will not emu
merate. True, these tried chiefs are upon
duty here of some sort, but methinks they
are more needed at Fredericksburg than
in Washington, just now, when the crisis
battle of the war is imminent

Official Account Of the Kingston Ar
fair

HEADoU'Rs DEP OF NORTH CAROLINA, !
Kingston, December IA, 1862.
To Major General HaLeck:
| have the honor to inform you that
left Newbern for this place, on the 11th
inst, but that owing to the bad roads
and the delays to my trains, did not
reach Southwest Creek, FIVE miles from
this town, until the forenoon of the 18th.
The enemy was posted there, but by a
heavy artillery fire in front, and vigor-
Gus infantry attack on either flank,
succeeded in forcing passage, and
without much loss.
This morning advanced on this town,
and found the enemy strongly posted at
defle through marsh, bordering on a
creek The position was so well chosen
that very little of our artillery could be
brought in play. The main attack was,
therefore, made by the infantry, assisted
by few guns pushed forward into the
roads. After FIVE hours hard fight, we
succeeded in driving the enemy from his
position. We followed him rapidly to
the river. The bridge over the Neuse,
at this point, was prepared for firing, and
was fired in six places, but we we're so
close behind them that we saved the
bridge.
The enemy retreated precipitately by
the Goldsboro and Pikeville Roads. Their
force was about 5000 men, with twenty
pieces of artillery. The result is, we
have taken Kingston, captured eleven
pieces of artillery, taken 400 to 500 pris-
oners, and found large amount of
Quartermaster and Commissary stores
Our loss will probably not exceed 200
killed and wounded

ent servant, S. G. FOSTER.

HORSE PRESERVATION TO GENERAL
A. P. HOVEY.
Address by VIM. P. Edison.

GENERAL: In behalf of your fellow
townsmen of Mount Vernon, who have
long and intimately known you, and who
have ever admired you for your talents
and ability-rejoicing in your success,
whether civil or military present to
you this spirited war horse as the most
fitting tribute of respect they could be-
stow upon you, occupying as you do, the
merited position of a Brigadier General
in the United States Army
The noble qualities and inestimable
value of the war horse are known to the
warrior; and in every age and nation,
they have been the theme of the Poet,
and the object of universal admiration,
being extolled in the Book of Inspiration
itself Bucephalus is as renowned in
history as Alexander the Great, and in
the age of chivalry the richly caparisoned
steed is as celebrated as the mailed
Knight, armed cap a pie, whom he bore
in search of adventures bold and en-
prize high. a
Accept, then, this noble steed, who
will proudly bear you to the conflict, en-
countering with you the dangers of the
battle field undismayed, and who will in
stinctively share with you in your pride
of victory.
The following is the letter of presenta-
ton your friends have addressed to you:
Brig Gen. Alvin p. HoUey:
SIR: Accompanying this, accept the
spirited charger "Barney," which we
present to you as a slight testimonial of
the high regard we have for you as an
estimable citizen, born and reared in our
midst, winning for yourself the highest
civic honors; and also of our warm ap-
probation of your patriotic services as a
military commander, fighting in defense
of the Union, and for the preservation of
the free institutions bequeathed to us by
our fathers-having proved yourself wor
thy of the high position you occupy by
your undauhted bravery on the battle
field of Shiloh, and by the able manner
in which you commanded the Army of
the South West, and conducted the late
expeditions in the vicinity Of the Port of
Arkansas, and to Grenada, Miss. Be-
lieving that Barney will prove to you
a trusty and true war horse that knows
his rider" Drawing peril on the battle
field IN its numerous forms, we leave him
with you. Like yourself, he has seen
service, having been formerly owned by
Major Josiah Forth, of the 1st Indiana
Cavalry, carrying him through the cam
paign of Arkansas and Missouri; and we
trust that the gift will ever prove worthy
of his rider Yours, &c

RESPONSE OF GENERAL HovEY.

Gentlemen Accept my thanks for
your magnificent gift-for your spirited
and beautiful charger. He has been
trained, and we'll trained in the proudest
column of Cavalry that halls from your
own proud State, and l am sure that the
gallant Major Forth, in all his many
lessons, has never learned him to turn
his back upon the foe.
You kindly allude to my civil and mil
itary honors. Whatever they may be, lit
tie or great, they would have been moth
ing but for the fostering hands that have
surrounded me from childhood; and
when remember all your kindnes, my
eyes fill with tears, and my heart thrills
with emotions that J. cannot express.
In the long dreary march, in the mid
night camp, in the midst of battle, with
hunger, cold, pain, disease and death
around me, my mind reverts to your
happy homes, and find myself involun-
tarily supplicating God to shield you and
yours from that desolation that follows
in the footsteps of war
