From the 9tst Regiment.
MAD1sONvLLE, Ky, Jan. y, I06

MADlsoNyLLE, KY, Jan. 20, 1868.
EDS JoURNAL:-I see by a special
dispatch from Henderson, to your paper
Of the 9th, an account of skirmish be-
tween a force under Lieut.. Cary and
band Of returned Southern soldiers and
guerrlllas. 1t also says that couple of
Captains were captured. Now, this IS
all literally true, but at the same time
the devil should have his due" In
reading the dispatch, a person Ignorant
ofthe circumstances attending the case,
would naturally come to the conclusion
that they (the Captains) were cap
tured by Lieut. Cary. This is quite
mistake Col Smackleford, hearing OF
the arrival in this region, from the South,
of Captain Ray, notorious guerrilla,
and nine of his associates, detailed Ma
jor Mattingly to look after them. At the
same time Major Brown, of the Goth, sent
out scouts in three difrent directions for
the same purpose. Lieut.. Colonel John
Mehringer of the 9lst, commandant at
this post, who is at all times on the alert,
sent "a squad Of men under Lieut.. New
kirk, Of the 4t.i Cavalry to SlaughterviIle
with the hope of heading the Capt Ray
and his party, and on arriving within one
mile of the place, Lieutenant Newklrk
jumped his game, and after smart race
of about a mile and half, captured
Capt. Ray and Lieut. Ray, his brother,
and brought them to this post. The
Captain, with his brother, had just re-
turned from Tennessee, where he claim
ed TO have left Morgan's brigade. Thus
you will see it was through the energy
and watchfulness of Col Mehringer, OF
the 9lst, that Kentucky has been ridden
of one of its worst men. l also see III
one of your notices that Capt. Gaines
is made to belong to the Goth, instead Of
the 9lst
There is no news at present, every
p thing remaining Ia statu quo. The boys
occasionally catch a bushwhacker, bu
they are getting very scarce.

SHOWING THEIR HANDs.-The Butter
nuts in the Legislature gave the lie to
their much boosted friendship to the SOL
diers in the army by voting to man
against proposition to amend the Con-
stitution of this State, so as to allow
soldiers in the army to vote.
They know they dare not permit the
soldiers to have voice in the elections,
as they would sweep their rotten party
from all power and place
The brave soldiers will yet have a
hearing at the ballot-box and in the Leg
islative Halls.

apnarentiy a Fraud.


The State Sentinel of January 80 con-
tains letter which it says was written
by Judge Samuel F. Miller, one of Mr.
Lncolns late appOintees to the Supreme
Bench. The letter states, among other
things, how much its author was delight
ed with the result Of the elections IN
1862, and he was confident that by the
success Of the Democracy there would
be a speedy restoration of the Union and
constitutional liberty" This letter, of
course, has gone the rounds, and, among
other papers, it was copied into the Nash
vile Dispatch, vile rebel sheet which
is still tolerated in that city. The Dis
patch, however, credits the letter to
Judge DANIEL F. MILLER, of Keokuk,
Iowa. Noticing the letter in the Dis
patch, an officer of one of the Illinois
regiments writes letter to the Nashville
Union, correcting the Dispatch, as fol-
lows:
"'Daniel T. Miller never was a
Judge of the United States Supreme
Court. or any Court He has for years
been known to the undersigned as a
mediocre lawyer of Fort Madison, lat
terly of Keoluk, Iowa, notable for no.
ting unless it be a greedy appetite for
Office. which he could never satisfy, and
the most accommodating facility with
Which he could shift his sails to every
political breeze"
He adds, in the same connection:
"The gentleman recently appointed to
the Supreme Bench Of the United States
was Samuel +. Miller of Keokuk, Iowa
the most eminent iurist of the State, a
man whom | have long aud intimately
known, as a preceptor and friend, ano
one who is too liberal statesman, toe
firm patriot, too loyal to his Govern
ment, in this hour OF its peril to b'
guilty Of such a foolish parade OF ego
tsm, sophistry, and badly clOaked trea
son, as the letter the Dispatch has takeI
the trouble to republish.
Now, putting this and that together,
looks to us very much as though the Stat
Sentinel has published letter, over IN
signature of SAMUEL F. MILLER, which
had reason to believe was never write
by that gentleman, but was the hand
work of one Daniel f. Miller, medic
ere lawyer of Fort Madison, latterly
Keokuk, Iowa" We may be mistake
in this, but We think not. The circun

10 o clock yesterday, brought confrma-
ton of the reported repulse of the rebels
who attacked Fort Donelson on Tuesday,
and their severe castigation.
Certain military movements that have
been going on during the week, but of
which we were not permitted to speak,
impresses the hope that Forrest and his
horde of rebels will be trapped between
the Cumberland and Tennessee, and the
whole of them be compelled to surrender.
The rebel experience at Fort Donel-
son, has not been such as to inspire in
their minds a great love for the place, and
if they have been well whipped there
again, it well not tend to increase their
love for that locality

The DlFFEREyCE.-No one, who has
carefully watched the proceedings and
speeches made in the two bodies, can for
a moment fail to believe that the Ken
tucky Legislature is far more loyal and
patriotic than that of Indiana.
1t is true that there are secessionists
in the Kentucky Legislature, but they
differ from their sympathisers in the In
diana Legislature, in their honest avowal
Of their sentiments, and do not attempt
to cover them by false pretenses of
loyalty.
They hold their secret, reasonable
causes like the K G. C's in Indianapo-
lis, but they proclaim openly that they
are secessionists.
The following extract from the Frank
fort correspondence ofthe Louisville jour-
nal, will give an idea of the loyalty of
the majority ofthe Kentucky Legislature,
and show how candidly the secessionists
acknowledge their sentiments:
FRANKFoRT, Jan. 81.
The secessionists held another secret
caucus in the Senate Chamber last night.
One Of the pages ofthe House of Repre-
sentatives was present part of the time.
a young man asked him if he was a Sc
cessionists. The page replied, No; are
your Yes, and no one but secession
lists are allowed here" The page heard
others say that all but secessionists
would have to leave the Senate Cham
Der. 1t is mercy that they permit the
Legislature to hold its sessions here.

strueted Kentucky soldiers not to enforce
the Presidents proclamation, by vote
of 90 to 10. On the contrary, the propo-
sition was rejected as unconstitutional by
this vote.
In the Senate, the bill to repeal the
law requiring school teachers to take an
oath-originally reported by the Judi
ciary, and referred to the Committee on
Revised Statutes-came up, being re-
ported against by the latter Committee.
After some discussion, the report of the
Committee was sustained.
