HEAD QUARTERS KENTUCKY VOLUNTEERS, J
ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,
FRANKFORT, Nov 28th 1868. J

| FRANKFORT, Nov 18th 1868.
GENERAL ORDERS No 6
For the information and guidance OF all
concerned.
The President of the United States having
issued call for 800, 900 volunteers, the quo
ia assigned to Kentucky amounts to II, 7Ol.
This number should be raised by volunteering,
| for which time is given until the fifth day of
January next Should the enlistments not
amount to the required number by that day, a
draft will be enforced to make up the deficit
The accompanying list shows the exact num-
Der each County will be required to furnish.
Many ofthese sub districts have already exceed
ed their proportions and consequently no as
signment is now made them. The enlistments
will be entirely for those Regiments now in
the field, and for the space of three years or
during the war. A premium of SIS for each
new recruit, or $25 for each Veteran" will
be paid the party producing him, soon as
the recruit reaches the place of general rem
devious. Bounties of 1902 to new recruits,
and of $402 to those who have served at least
nine months, will be paid in convenient in
stallments, the first of which amounting, with
advance pay, to $75, will be given the recruit
on his arrival at the camp of general rendez-
vous at Louisville, and before his departure to
the field. An earlier expiration of the war
will still leave the recruit entitled to his full
bounty
Details from every Company in the service
will act as Recruiting Agents in the various
sub -districts Entire harmony of action ex
lists between Maj. Sidell, U. s. A, acting As
sistant Provost Marshal General of Kentucky
at Louisville, his District Provost Marshals,
and the State authorities.
1t behooves every man in Kentucky to Ia
Dor for the accomplishment of this common
good to assist in enlistng recruits sufficient to
obyate the draft, which is sure to follow if we
are delinquent in this duty. Let every one
lend himself to this patriotic purpose-let
every neighborhUod respond in the most tri-
umphant manner to the great moral and ply
steal legation. Let every County determine
to be among the first to satisfy this demand OF
tricts which have made records so proud as to
exempt them from the requirements of this
order, may write their history in still brighter
colorS by continuing their contributions to
our ranks
Let it be remembered that, in some manner,
our quota must be rGiSed-that volunteers re
ccive- large bOunties and drafted men receive
none-that for every recruit returned to
the Provost Marshal SIS, and for every one
who has served nine months S25, will be paid
the party producing him; that to the fifth of
January, 1864, only is given the privilege of
filling our quota by voluntary enlistments
and that then will follow an memorable draft
bearing in its train neither bounty nor honor

Engineer Corp, arrived from Memphis this
m orning. and reports that Chalmers. with
from to 1000 men, entered Salisbury,
Tennessee, on the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad, last Wednesday, and burned two
or three cars, and quantity of cotton. They
tore up the track for one mile. and fired on
the train coming west from Corinth with 35
rebel prisoners aboard. who cried: Come on,
we will get loose" The train was backed
out. and escaped without injury. The fol-
lowing day, about noon, the same force
made three desperate attacks on Wolf River
Bridge near Moscow, thirty-tve miles from
Memphis, and were repulsed with heavy
loss. Col. Hatch commanded the Federals,
comprising the 9th. 7th, and 9th Illinois,
and p Iowa Cavalry, and I'd Tennessee
negro regiment
twelve pound howitzer was placed at
one end of the bridge as the rebels approach
ed. They captured two negro pickete whom
they straightway hang afterward. 1t is SAID
the negroes threw rebel wounded into the
river, dragging them with ropes about their
necks, and refusing to touch them with
their hands.
The fight lasted four hours. About one
thousand Federal cavalry and six hundred
negroes. the Sth Infantry, did not arrive IN
til after the action. Col. Hatch was seVereI y
wounded in the right lung Toe 9Th Illinois
Cavalry suffered severIy losing many horses
in Company B. Three negroes were killed

Majesty OF Law.

Friedrich the Great, a century ago,
wished to enlarge his possessions and his
palace. A certain mill obScured the view.
and he offered tn Prussian fair price for
it. He refused to SELL because it was pa
terral estate Frederick then ordered the
mill torn down, which was done. The
miller stood calmly by. saying that he
would abide by the law. He must obey
his sovereign. but the law did not compel
him to sell his mill. He appealed to tee
courts, aud the courts decided that Fred
erck should rebuild the mill. This he
cheerfully did, thanking God thai he had
a court not Influenced by imperial favor.
Twenty years ago the present owner of the
mill became involved, and offered to sell it
to Frederick William, the successor ofFred-
erick the Great. The sovereign refused to
buy, but freely gave him $4,000, saying
that the mill must stand, as a monument Of
the triumph of law. and Prussia stands to-
dav as a constant monument of the majesty

of an Emperor 10 be submissive to law.
