EANP TEMPLE FRANKFORT KY.
July 24th 1862.
Editors 0roniek.-A week ago last Sabbath
July 18th the 85th Regt. O.-V l., ex-
cept Companies B. aud K, was sent off
from Camp Chase in hot haste for Lex
ington KY.
Our purpose was ostensibly to repel the
rebel raider Morgan, but not a Morgan
have we seen. We have however stayed
in "0ld Kentucky" until he is in all
probability out of it, and we have march
ed at least twice in pursuit of him, Our
Infantry Regiment however was ordered
to remain at Frankfort Il guard the State
Capitol while what Cavalry the State could
raise was sent in pursuit of Morgan and
his band, on the night of 18th of which
pursuit and the result, or rather the non
results you have already read more than
1 can tell you.
What has interested me more than any
thing else that / haYe seen OF heard
of since 1 came into the State, is the Gem
etery of the place which l visited for the
first time to day. We Lieut.. NJ. and y
after passing back of the arsenal, which
is situated on a hill just on the edge of
the town facing toward it, walked for a
mile along a romantic path, cut out
ofthe side of a high bluff running up from
the Kentucky river, until it gradually
brought US to the top of the bluff and in
to the midst OF the most beautiful spot in
The first thing that met our eyes rs we
traced the topof the hill was a pond which
at first sight was cut out of the solid stone,
but Oh ! deception; we found on close ex-
animation that it was bricked and plaster.
ed. On, the back of this little lake is a
family vault built of the purest Italian
On either side of the door stands
u angel and Oh the top the third angel,
II of them elegantly carved in marble.
We passed on through grave after grave
for the most part similar to what we
would see in the best arranged cemeteries
my where, until finally we came out in
ull view of the Military Monument
by the State in 1850, which is
decidedly the most beautiful thing of
he whole, and which is the pride of the
'eOple of Kentucky as being perhaps the
most beautiful monument in the eouRtry. !
The monument is sixty-two feet high,

The gentlemen mentioned in the order

The gentlemen mentioned IN the order
are now at Head Quarters and held as in
dictated: and further positive evidence
from an undoubted source has reached
here, that at least two of them were active
and efficient didcrs and dbcHorS of the viii
famous practice. Theresult of the urse
adopted has proved most satisfactory.
B~usk0kacking since their arrest, has entire

Now that the way has been pointed
out by a General, fearless enough to as
sumo the responsibility without waiting

with frmness sufficient to carry the order
into execution las no one doubts who

humanity, he may be fully sustained in
the course adopted, by the powers that he

The people of this portion of Va, are
nearly all secesh, professedly so, at least,

parties rendering that the only safe side
Tor them to choose, for, it is well known,
that a man protesting secesh sentiments
no matter how strongly, is just as safe
when our army is in possession, as the
most devoted Union man and on the
other hand, when not under the imme-
date protection of u army, it is sure
death for a man to be even strongly sus-
pected of Union sentiments. We have
been treating them-the willing and per-
%sistent supporters of their unholy cause
with far too much leniency, a more vigor-
Gus policy in this respect is demanded it
is fully time the authorities begin to act
towards this class of men, as though they

ray, as a strong picket or outpost ; since
there they have had several skirmishes
with a squad of rebel cavalry that is hang
ing about in that direction, in which they
have lost some half dozen men taken
prisoners, besides havinga couple wound
ed. They took quite a number of prison
ers, and probably wounded a good num-
Der of the enemy. The boys find plenty
of work to do. The Reg't. is now under
command of Maj. Stedman, Col. Lloyd
having been placed in command of the

strength of Mcc1ellan,s Army.

There having been considerable specu-
lation as to the numerical strength OF
General McClellan's army, the following,
from the army correspondent of the Gin
csnnati Commercial, will be read with inter
est:-It would not be prudent to attempt
to state definitely how Ruch it has been
reduced numerically, but there can be no
improperly in stating that General Nc
Clellan was never able to carry over $4,000
electives into battle. When he landed
81 Fortress Monroe his muster rolls exhib-
tied lis, 900 men of all armies. A consid-
cradle proportion of these, say 5000, were
cavalry, of which 1000 were servicable.
The remainder would have served their
country better behind their plows at
home. Others were necessarily detailed
to keep open communications and
protect our fianks-leaying about 100000
to be disposed of. A very large per CEN
tage of sick were then to be subtracted.
1t is not very ~extIavagant to say that
wounds and deaths at Yorktown cost US
1000 men; Williamsburg cost US 5000;
West Point $50; Hanover Court House
500; Fair Oaks, so a official bulletins,
500. Iwish 1 could believe that were

oh how many? Where are the stray
To be sure the enemy have lost
ull as many, but they could afford it.
Without attempting to estimate the aver
age number of sick, / will give one ex-
ceptional fact which may cause you to
shudder. When General Casey's division
at Fortress Monroe it numbered
Is, 900 men. When his division was rout-
I'd at Seven Pines it numbered less than
5000. All the rest were dead and in the
hospital. But no other division suffered
Is much. After Seven Pines it was no
at all. Many of these losses
we're compensated by reinfoFcements-
even regiments-say 5000 men, from
Fortress Monroe, and General McCalPs

AUCTIONS, the army could sustain itself

The Union men of TrumbuIl County,
without regard to past political differen-
ees, who are in favor of sustaining the Adj
ministration in its efforts to suppress the
rebellion who believe that the perpetua-
ton of our Government is a matter of
more vital importance than mere ques-
tons of party expediency, and who are
ready to make every reasonable sacrifice
which the good CT the country may de-
mand at this time, are cordially invited to
unite with us, that we may turn our unit
ed energies against the enemies of the
Union, instead Of allowing ourselves to be
divided by the schemes of selfish and un-
scrupulousf actienists. Omitted we stand
