ROCHESTER,, KY, Feb. IA, 1903.
ED JoURNAL:-Company II, OF the
Goth, (the Vauderburgh company is still
stationed at this place. The boys have
got their pay, and are in excellentsplrlts
Co. B, Capt. Stillwell, is here also. Co.
II sent home about $3.50, and about
ten members were absent, and conse-
ouently missed their money. Ii they
had all been paid we should have sent
over $4,000 home We have lost two
soldiers by death, John Hall and Charles
Meminger. The troops here are in toll
erably good health, and they have no
guard duty to perform. The water is
coming up over the locks again, and the
mud is getting deeper When the water
gets very high, we are completely sur
rounded by water, and the mud is so deep
that man does not dare to stir about at
night, for fear he should sink out OF
sight.
Those soldiers who cannot read and
write, have to attend school one hour
each night. They have to furnish their
own pens, ink, paper, and candles, and
haze to attend. There is no way of get
ting aroundit A majority of them seem
very willing to learn, and go at 1T with
a determination to succeed. 1t looks
strange to go into the school and see the
bows with their hair combed nicely, and
looking neat and clean, qnietly sitting at
their desks, learning to write. 1t is de-
sired that every soldier shall be able to
sign the pay roll himself when the pay
master comes again.
l will write again.
Yours, fraternally, Tom.

pies expense. AS it is, they are not
likely to be sent there again.
The Government or people of the
North-for they are the Government
are fighting in self defense. They are
waging an aggressive war as the wlsest
mode of defense. They will keep the
desolations of war from their homes and
fresides while they may, and compel
those who inaugurated the struggle to
bear most of its evils. Every intelligent
man knows that recognition OF the
Southern Confederacy, but transfers the
seat of war from Southern to Northern
soil, and transforms our smiling country
into a land of desolation and death
There is but one way whereby the rebels
can conquer, and that is, by dissensions
among the people of the Northern States
| If our feuds become so bitter as to insure
the triumph of the Southern oligarchs,
they will be sufficiently strong to inau-
gurate war among ourselves We could
rot remain confederacy of Earring fac
tons for any length of time with pow,
erful, consolidated military despotism on
our Southern borders TheHopportunity
to avenge themselves would be too tempt
ing for the Southern people to resist it
and their armies would soon be seer
marching across our territory with tht
sword and fire band. This, we think, the
people can clearly see and understand
Our only safety is in crushing the rebel
lion and compelling the Southern State
to return to their allegiance.

He DESIRES A KING.-We heard a dis
tinguished butternut say, yesterday, that
he would rather have a King to live I'M
der than this Government.
We have no doubt of it, although this
same admirer of Kingly rule has taken
an oath of fidelity to this government
If he desires to live under monarchy
let him emigrate to Austria or Madagas-
car. He would make an admirable cour-
tier to the Emperor of Morocco. He
may have aspirations to the Office of
Kings fool, but alas, we fear'he has not
brains enough to wear with honor the
cap and bells.

-A1Oo'ss10rs '-.-...ii-.a-
er prosecution of the war is to save the
North from an avalanche of ruin which
the success of the South must precipi-
tate" The Dispatch states the case
quite fairly. Loyal men have always
realized the vastness of the issues at
stake. the first gun fred at Fort Sum-
ter was an assault upon the institutions,
as well as the liberties, of the people of
the North. 1t was vicious expression
of determination on the part of a small
slave-holding faction to coerce a large
majority of their countrymen into their
way of thinking and acting 1t was
knowledge of the character of the as
sault upon Sumter that so aroused the
people at the beginning of the struggle.
1t was consciousness of how near the
conspirators were to success in carrying
out their infamous designs, that occa-
stoned the second great uprising after the
battle of Bull Run, and that raised our
army from $4,000 to 100000 men, and
that poured money into the public treas
ury like water.
But the movements and success of our
armies failed to keep pace with the i'm
patience of the people. While a great
deal has been done, more than was ever
accomplished BY any nation within the
same length of time; while many bloody
battles have been fought and victories
lost and won; notwithstanding We have
+. occupied vast tracts Of the enemy's
country, and have captured and held
most of their seaports, still, - anxious
hostilities, so opposed are they to useless
sacrifice of life, that they have given too
willing ear to the insidious fault-fnd-
ing of artful demagogues. Impatient,
many of them became unjust; and when
piled with arguments to the effect that
the Administration was composed of
perjurers and thieves; that the war was
not conducted with either energy, homes
ty or ability-that it was carried OF solely
for the benefit of the negro-and would
never be brought to close so long as the
present party was in power, they voted
for and elected the men who were thus
claiming their restoration to Office as the
only hope of the country. In supporting
these demagogues the people were still
true to their conviction that the rebel
lion must be put down, and the Union re-
stored to its former unity and grandeur
They have never lost sight of that truth
Now that the men who gained their
support by falsehood and deceit are be-
ginning to show their true character, the
people are taking the alarm, and the en-
thusiastic Union meetings being held in
ell parts of the country Enthusiastically in
dictate that treason to the Government
will not be tolerated North or South.
Had the members of the present LegisIa-
ture told their constituents that they
would talk ano vote previous to, as they
have talked and voted since, their cleo
ton, numbers of them would never have
visited the Capital this winter at the pee
