SIXTEEN loyal Kentuckians were hung by the
rebels about Oct. 20th, near Cumberland Gap.
Most Of them belonged to Lincoln county, and
were captured by Tennessee regiment under

protection against rebel guerrilas. Shall not

Perseverance in a Good Cause.s

il the Temperance men in the South real
desire to see the evils of in%tempcranee
fated in the land, they must make strenuous
81 persistent efforts to accomplish it, under
81 circumstance and amid the most discour
eiag prospects. To labor in a cause only
then the prospect is inviting and fair, and
hen to relax when difficulties and fears are
occuntered, never yet brought success and
nctory. Such has not been the course of
Gtlon with our government and people in
<1nducting the great struggle in which we
sc engaged for freedom and independence.
Fhe darkest hours and the most serious re
sTses, have only stimulated them to more
ptermined, bold and ~resolute action. So it
lust be in the Temperance cause. The
ttadcl of Alcohol must continue to be as
quilted every day and on every occasion /;
sd. the siege must be protracted, though it
pay last for many years, until he is driven
ssnd routed from lis stronghold. We must
oppose, denounce and assail the drinking
asages of society, on all fitting occasions,
ind in. this way perpetuate a temperance
sentiment in the land. IF this warfare be
neglected, the great question of temperance
lvill be lost sight Of, and we shall hear moth
Ing more of il. We must talk about it
circulate temperance papers and tracts, ans
in every other way in our power keep i

~ We have heard less complaint made
ever passed by our National or State Legis-
%lature. If there be any GROWERS however,
and it would be strange indeed if there We're
none, it would be we'll for them to remem-
Der that it is much better to pay a heavy tax
now and sustain the Government, than to
fail in the struggle for independence and lose
ali we hsve-property, rights and honor
We had q thousand times better give the
Government onet half Of what we possess
and thus enable it to drive back the brutal
and murderous foe, than to fail and see the
South subjngated to the despised Govern
ment of Abe Lincoln and his thieving people.
Above all things let us remember that there
never can be peace until our independence is
achieved.
OF the tax in kind feature of the law,
the committee that reported the bill, gives
the following conclusive and satisfactory
reasons for It:
1t ensures the means of prosecuting the
war, couIc what may to the currency: With
food, we can and Will protract the contest an
til our enemies arc exhausted. Defensive
war has this advantage at least, an advai4ta e
that YOU promi,e success even if the. in
ducements to fight were equal on both sides.
But when . spirit of conqnest and oppression
animates one party, and a determination to ds-
fend home, honor and liberty directs the 9TH
err, there can be no doubt as to the party which
will 'protract the contest for the longest peri,
Cd. Nothing is wanted to ensure success to
the latter but the means of prosecuting the
war. We have these means, and the only
question IS as to the proper use of them.
To the extent that we collect what VI want
