2utternut Preachers.

We have heard so much about the IA
natical, abolitionist preachers of New
England, that we didn't suppose there
could exist In that latitude the human
perfection necessary to constitute con-
sentative minister of the Butternut hue.
We find, however, that Rev. Copperheads
prevail in that section to as great an ex-
tent, relatively, as copperhead laymen.
Dr. Lord of Dartmouth College is
furnishing the copperheads throughout
the north with many crumbs of comfort
and his utterances are eagerly copied by
the various organs of the snakish or
ganziation.
In the Hartford, Conn, Times we find
letter from Rev. Mr.. Benedict, an
nouncing that he devotes his week days
to preaching the unadulterated copper
head faith He says he breaches politics
on week days because" 1--WE quote his
own language) 81 was thrown into pris-
on by this Administration for net preach
ing politics on Sunday" The italics are
as we find them. We were not aware
that the Administration had gone SO far
as to throw ministers into prison for not
preaching politics on Sunday, and the
Rev. gentleman's integrity and purity
shines with respondent glory when he
admits that the administration didn't
prescribe the kind of politics he should
preach. That Butternut divine would
go to prison rather than preach the But
ternut faith on Sunday is most marvel
GUS Why, we thought it was the opin-
ion of many of the leaders that their po-
litical and religious faith were so near
identical that to preach the one was but
to proclaim the other, and if by any pos
sibility there could be conflict between
the two, religion was to give place to
political belief
We fear DR.. Benedict's letter will not
commend him to the faithful to the ex
tent his prosecutions deserve, especially
since the Connecticut elections. All,
Doctor, if you had only put in your Sun
days how different might have been the
result

Condition of Affairs In the Green
River Country.

Col Foster has just made business
expedition through the counties of Cald-
we'll, Lyon, Crittenden, Union, and other
counties of Kentucky, that has failed to
furnish any incidents of interest.
This country has never been so free of
guerrillas as at present There are a
few struggling squads of them, but they
are kept well hunted down by the noun
ted men of the Goth lid.
The secesh in Henderson are becom-
ing very submissive. They closed up
their stores and workshops on Thursday
last, keeping open.might be construed in
to violation of Gen. Burnsides order.
The town was quiet as a Sabbath, but
we doubt if many of the secesh tasted or
prayed much fbr the Federal cause.

LARGE HAUL or JEwELRY.-On the
last trip of the Courier, just as she was
leaving this port for Cairo, man went
a laa I'd NTH t1un- haa111- ta.A.-l.. IL
passage to Cairo After the boat was
fairly under way, Mr.. Kercheval, Reve-
nue. Agent on board, enquired if the
trunks were permitted by the Surveyor,
and finding they were not, examined
them and found them both packed full OF
fine jewalry.
This violation of the revenew laws was
SO palpable that possession was at once
taken of the property which is valued at
$4,000, and the owner and the goods
were brought back to this city, and the
case turned over to Major Robinson.
The man in charge of the goods, who
gives his name as Curran, processes to
be from Philadelphia, and had come by
river to this place and hence to Cairo
The whole case bears strong evidence
of an intention to smuggle the goods
South, and they will doubtless be confs-
Gated.
Mr.. Kercbeval has been very success
full in detecting men endeavoring to
smuggle goods South, and has made very
few mistakes.

UNSUITABLE HoM1cIDE-This is the

UNSUITABLE HoMICIDE-This is the
title given by the State Sentinel to the act
of shooting down Union soldiers, in cold
blood, and with generalization, By
Knights Of the Golden Circle, as was the
case with Prosser in Brown county,
few days ago. Prosser went to Union
meeting armed with shot gun and re-
volver and with a friend also armed.
He broke up the meeting once and when
they assembled at another place he fol-
lowed them there, boasting and offering
TO bet that he would kill two abolitionists
before night, meaning federal soldiers.
He killed one soldier and tried, and had
his friend try, to kill another This the
Sentinel calls "justi6ble homicide"
Dozens of similar cases have occurred
in the last few weeks in this State, in
Ohio and Illinois, and the Sentinel and
papers of that character denominate these
acts "Justifable Homicide" and in the
same breath boast that the party they
represent are law abiding citizens. The
hanging of men in East Tennessee for
refusing to become traitors, the tearing
to pieces of delicate women by blood
hounds, is in the estimation of the SEN
tinel, doubtless, simply Unsuitable
Homicide

CRATIC na rtu are LEADING. them2

INDIANAPOLIS. = The Fast Day ap-
pointed by the President seems to have
been very generally observed at the State
Capital. The newspaper Offices, work
shops and various business houses were
closed, and religious exercises were held
in the different churches.
Major W. W. Frybarger, the senior
artillery officer of the State, was the re-
cipient-or rather his wife was the re-
cipient of magnificent testimonial
from the 23d Indiana Battery, Captain
Myers, on Wednesday last. The present
consisted of magnificent silver service
of no less than fifty pieces, including
spoons and napkin rings. All were
richly chased, and mounted on large
salver which showed in beautiful in
scription the destination of the costly
articles. Major Fryherger had renaiuad
the appointment OF Col. OF artillery from
Gov. Morton, but the President or Secre-
tary of War, while willing enough to
give such officers to Ohio, Michigan and
Illinois, could see no reason for doing
the same thing for Indiana.
The military authorities are still pick
ing up the sympathizers Wednesday
noon, Sergeant Harvey of the 18th Reg
ulars, arrested DR.. Dorsey for inducing
and aiding soldiers to desert, giving rebel
prisoners money and assisting them to
escape, and conducting reasonable cor
respondence. The Doctor, we believe.

many years has been resident of the

proper person to be made use of as a tool
