honor to command is here for no
purpose Of war upon Kentuckians,
but to repel those Northern hordes,
who, with arms in their hands, are
attempting the subjugation of a sis
ter Southern State. They have
closed your rivers, embargoed your
railroads, cut off your natural, and
proper markets. left your stock and
produce on hand, and thereby almost
destroyed the value of your lands
and labor. We have come to
open again your rivers, to restore
the ancient markets for your produce
and thereby to return to you the ac-
customed value of your lands and Ia
Dor. They have represented us as
1nurderers and outlaws. We have
come to convince you that we truly
respect the laws, revere justice, and
mean to give security to your per-
sonal and property rights. They
have forced many Of you to take up
arms against us.
We come to take you by the hand,
as heretofore, as friends and broth
ers. Their government has laid
heavy taxes upon you to carry on
this unnatural war, one object of
which is openly avowed to be to set
at liberty your slaves, and the ensu-
ing steps in which will be to put
arms in their hands and give them
political and social equality with
yourselves. We saw these things in
the beginning, and are offering our
hearts's blood to avert those dread
full evils which we saw the Abolition
leaders had deliberately planned for
the South. All men must have the
bullet or none"-said Mr.. Seward,
the present Federal Secretary Of
State. How long will Kentuckians
close their eyes to the contemplated
ruin of their present structure of soci-
ETY.? How long will they continue
to raise their arms against brothers
of the South struggling for those
rights and for that independence COM
mon to us all, and which was guaran-
teed to all by the Constitution
1887?
For many long years we rcmon-
strated against the cncroachments
against those rights, and the insecuri-
ty to that property thus guaranteed
which these Northern hordes so re-
morselessly y inflicted upon us. They
became deaf to our remonstrances,
because they believed they had the
power, and felt in every fibre the will
to "whip us in" We have disap-
pointed them. We have broken their
columns in almost every conflict
We have early acquired Il prestige of
success which has stricken terror into
the Northern heart Their "grand
armies" have been held in check by
comparatively few but stern-hearted
men, and now they would invoke
Kentucky valor to aid them in beat
ing down the true sons of the South
who have stood the shock, and in
bringing common ruin upon Ken
tucky, and her kindred people. win
you play this unnatuual part, Ken
tuckians? Heaven forbid! The
memories Of the past forbid. The
honor of your wives and daughters,

viii We Ever Learn.

The capture Of the Fairplay at AIilGksn' 8
Bend, on Sunday night, is another Of those in
staEces of gross csrelessness and over conf
denee, which has already cost the South so
dearly. Ia every misfortune of this kind It has
invariably been the result Of a sel-c0ncsi.ed,
OveTweening confidence Oh the part of those in
terested. After the feet had Withdrawn from
cur vicinity, we all went 10 work as If there
never had been an enemy within a thousand
miles, and our frail steamboats, resumed their
trips up the river entirely unprotected. and self
reliant as in times Of peace.
in connection with the affair Of the FairDlay,
as it is reported to US, we can see nothing but
the most culpBble negligence on the part Of those
who hsd charge of the craft. It is almost in
credible that officers of = steamboat, veuturing
upon precsriOus trip, in unsafe waters. with a
valuable cargo, and numerous psssenge should
be SO entirely lost to all sense Of danger and
prOpnety, as to let their steam cool down and tie
up securely and unc0neernedly, at place where
the enemy might fan upon them at any moment.
Yet such is the report as it comes to us from the
Eairplsy. IL was well known from cur pickets,
as well as by the openly avowed plans of the
Yankees, that they would keep their feet patrol
ing the river between this place aud Cairo. and
this knowledge should have made our officers
extremely careful how 10 venture upon such
trip. Experience is s costly teacher, and every
lesson of this kind that we take puts Us 30 more
expense than would a sufficient guard al along
the whole length OF the river so lar as it IS in our
possessiOn.-Ei J icbSburg Cfi-GR.

Feeling i'm NashvIIIe.

A correspondent of the Montgomery Adcer-
issr, who recently visited Nashville, and had
excellent opportunities Of making observations,
says:
Notwithstanding the CALLING yoke Of oppres-
sion under which the people of Tennessee have
been crushed to the earth for the last six months
notwithstanding there are a few weakened,
supple jointed individuals in the State who have
sOlI themselves, body and soul, for the pslHy
consideration Of dollars and cents-still the
great masses Of the people are true as steel to
the Southern cause. In Nashville the feeling
Of bitter hatred toward the cowardly, white
hvered seoundrels who pOllute the sidewalks
with their degrading presence, grows more deep
and lasting every dy. As I was passing up
Cottage street saw two ladies turn off the side
walk into the street to avoid meeting two richly
esparisoned Yankee officers, coming in sn oppo-
site direction. Incidents of this kind are of
everyday occurrence. The ladies of the Rock
city God bless their patriotic souls) would
sooner drag their flowing robes in the mud OF
the streets any time than be contaminated by
contact with these vile invaders of their homes
They shun them as they would the csnnibsls OF
South America, or the Thugs Of India Let no
one doubt that Tennessee is all right. When
our victorious legions shall enter the Old Vol
unteer State" driving the vile invaders before
them, the hesrtless mercensries viii be greeted
on every side, from rock, tree, and bush, by the
keen crack of the country rife, as they keep step
TO the music Of the singing bullets, sent as
svenRing messengers for the oUtTsges committed
on defenseless citizens, women and children.

EXTENSIVE COUETERFEFTING.-Ih Lynch
burg Virginian says that Wilson G. Hewitt, of
Liberty, proprietor of the Hewitt House, has been
detected in passing counterfeit money on the
Bank of BainbTidge, Georgia, and the Central
Bank OF Alabama The notes were printed in
this city, upon the order OF Roger L. Martin,
purporting to be in the hospital at Liberty,
though no such person was ever there. Hewitt,
or his son, were agents Of the express company,
and Of course received the packages of notes
that were sent by express Information was
sent to the Central Bank of the fact that these
notes were in circulation, and sn officer Of the
bank was sent on to investigate the case. He
arrived incog at the Hewitt House and received
one Of the spurious notes in change. Hewitt
was thsreup0n arrested and lodged in Jail last
Friday On Saturday his case underwent inves
tigatiOR, and be was sent on for further trial.
There were printed $13,500 of the Central Bank
notes, of the denominations two, three and four
dollars, signed B. Bon, president and ?. Cam,
cashier OF the notes Of the Merchants Bank
Of Bainbridge, 81 600 in all were printed. They
are signed J. S. Long, cashier. Many Of these
notes are supposed to be circulating in Frank
lin and the people are cautioned against them.
Il is supposed that Hewitt circulated from te
10000 of the Liberty Savings Bank notes
These were scarcely less fraudulent upon their
face than the others, as no such institution is ia
existence.

From this cynosure point of interest I drop
you line of information concerning our condi-
ton Some number Of our troops you may I'M
agineare spread around here, stretching along the
river some five miles, and inward about mile
inclosed by earthwoTks of a strong and thor
ough character. We feel perfectly safe behind
these on the one hand, aud protected by the
gunboats on the other. A few days ago quite
spirited skirmish was had at Malvern Hiu of
which we took possession, but the rebels being
reinforced We retired Several of our troops
were wounded and two killed. Col Gamble re-
eeived wound in his breast while gallantly
Leading on bis command. Our forces are now
facing the enemy with the expectation Of an en-
gagement at any moment. Indeed, the general
feeling seems now to be on to Richmond, +" from
which we are distant about twenty y-hve miles.
The papers report the evacuation of that city by
the rebels, but hope your readers are net green
enough to believe such stories They are aceu-
mulating troops and preparing for another grand
rush, which, if we have strength enough, we
may successfully resist. We can hardly be
driven from our present eneampment, nor can
successful blockade be established on the river,
as there are only few points from which they
could annoy our vessels, and these are daily re-
c0nnoitered by our gunbOats. The general I'M

can be no doubt that Gen. Mcclellan does bis
best as general, but evidently he is not the
man for his position. did not uso to think so,
but personal observation and experience has
convinced me of this. He sffse too muchpo
and parade for these critical times.
COntrsbands abound here and are doing all
they are permitted to do. As yet they have dug
no intrenchments, nor help build up no fortf-
cations. The story Of McClelsn's sending for
colored laborers to North Carolina is all bosh.
He don't employ the help he has, except in un-
necessary labor. Our war worn soldiers are
compelled as yet to do their own drudgery.
Well, perhaps this is the true way, but it does
not seem to meet the exig gsnces of the times. 1t
nothing more they ought to be organized into
companies and be made to work under proper
officers in a military way.
know not, but there is more truth than poe
try in the assertion, that this is a white mans
war, and nigger's have no business with it..
White men have stolen the negro, they have
robbed, oppressed, and bestiahsed him. He has
been passive sufferer in their hands, and now,
perhaps, Providence intends that the white man
shall fight and suffer as his punishment for the
great wrongs he has inflicted on the race. How
ever, we will wait the developments Of tha fu-
ture which now is vested in Obscurity,
