Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1862-12-06

as Il no army were there. Col. o.. how
ever, was unhsaken. At the last accounts
warrant had been issued upon complaint
OF Judge ROBINSON, and the sheriff of
Jesssmine county directed to arrest and
hold him to bail in the sum of 1000. or.
in default, to conine him in the Lexington
Jail. The sheriff also had writ of replev.
in tor the boy, with directions in case of
resistance to demand a posse contains
from Gen. Baird and take him forcibly.
The correspondent from whom we have
condensed this account adds:
l think Judge Robertson will have
happy time getting his boy from the
| 22d, or in arrestng the Colonel The
boys came here to fight, and they will not
meet foe during their whole campaigning
they will fight better than these Kentucky
Union hypocrites. This trouble is brought
upon Colonel Utley by pretended Union
men, By Judge Robertson, Chief Justice,
who declares he is the moss loyal man in
Kentucky, and at the same time says the
Presidents proclamation is uncoustitu-
tonal and not binding, and never will or
can be enforced in Kentucky To this
| policy Gen. Wright, Gen. Gilmore, and iI
fact all the Kentucky generals are firmly
committed. No man who has not been
here, and seen felt and heard, has the least
idea what Kentucky loyalty is. 1t is just
this: they are loyal, not from motives of
patriotism or because they love the Union,
but because loyalty, in their estimation,
will protect their property. The most
loyal man in Kentucky will tell you,
that if the Presidents proclamation and
the laws of Congress are enforced,
in the State. We are in the heart
of the State, in the old Blue Grass region;
the home Of Daniel Boone, Henry Clay,
John g. breckenridge, and John Morgan
Still you may travel a whole day and not
| find one man in one hundred who has
ever been beyond the limits of his town
ship, or county. Daily papers are seldom
If ever seen. No schools-and no inter-
course with the world or other parts of
the nation. How can we expect such
people to be patriotic beyond the narrow
confines of their own selfish interests p
The inhabitants visit our camps with as
much interest and curiosity as we would
visit Museum. They see newspapers
and writing materials in every tent, and
are surprised that soldiers can read. Thew
"alloW we have a right smart O schools
up in Wisconstsnt" Having no inter-
course with the world, generation after
generation have lived and died without
knowing how to read or write, or leaving
the county in which they were born; how
can We expect them to have any patriot
ism, any loyalty, or anything else except
selfshness2
MI. sturgis' Report of Visit to Mound
City Hospital, Nov. Is. 1862.
EDWARD sAIoMoN, Governor of Wiconsn:
Your Eacetlescg II arrived at this post
at P. M, 10Th inst. On the passage
down the river had along interview with
Surgeon Il. P. Stearnes, Medical Director,
on his way to Cairo to remove the furni-
ture from the hospital there to Paducah,
hy., his intention being to provide and
put ID order the buildings now used for
the SOLDIERS Home" to be used only as
a rendezvous or quarters for soldiers Tin
transit " to and from their regiments, all
others to be sent to Mound City or Padu-
cab. L think l can assure your excellen-
cy that all Wisconsin soldiers will receive
hereafter all the attention and care from
Medical Director Stearnes that it is in his
legal power to grant, based on his personal
assertion to grant them ali, lis .taoor and
attention.
The hospitals at this post and also at
Paducah are but sparsely supplied with
books and reading matter and fresh
supply would be judicious and highly
valued. I find 81 Wisconsin soldiers in
this hospital, viz.
