Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Gazette.1
LOUISVILLE, Jan. %, 1852.
Persons arrived from Bowling Green recently declare
secessionss are growing dayn the graces Of their
spirit. In acts Of atrocious vlany psrpetrated ON
Union men and women, each day excels its predecessor
NO wonder They have found out that unconditional
Unonists have few friends In the United States.
And then, they know that whatever outragss they offer
to the property Of Union refugees there win be
taliatifn In the way Of conhscaton They know very
that.
A. Bowling Green they have few pieces Of navy size

the other day wishing to try Of them at object,
used the residence Of Judge Underwood . target. No
thanks to them, but rather to the Indifferent quality

federae officers sre having grand time. driving Union
bands have been compelled TO esve homo and usHg fc

will not be able to- get of on such plea that The
great Foyd-one Of the most amiaBe and ostimable Of
gentlemcr-occupes the residence Of Captain Grider.
When Mr. Grider forced to leave home, he left his
dwelling in the Of his aged mother lady between
seventy five and eighty years OF age Ono would SUPPOSE

loyal men they can find combining them in jail sending
them further South One loyal gentleman was moved to
tears when he informed that they had imprisoned
and matreated faithful old slave of his to such
degree that he died The old negros wife, WHO had been
superannuated by her kind mnstcr and furnished
with servant to attend her in her declining years was
impressed As Yasherwoman for the hospitals.
Some days since, tho rebels gave out that they
pocted an attack at Bowling Green, and advised
the citizens to leave; but Unionists. suspectng 1t

with Indifference, and remained. Once out they would

The opinion seems to be daily gaining ground in quar-
