they lost ell right 70 property Of all de-

they had unfortunately forgotten, and /

they shall have their rights, and we sol

lucky, does not want them in her midst.
She is loyal to her great hearts core, and
prays deIiverance from these obnoxious

tens Of thousands have marched TO the
bloody field, under the old stars and
stripes, and have moistened the various
scenes of conflict with their blood, de-
mand at least their expatuatiOn.
Recently, however the sympAthizers
OF the South in Kentucky have become
wonderfully exercised upon the doings
Of Federal armies in the South. The
Presidents proclamation was thunder
peal TO them. The Tyrant, as they term
ed the President, was going TO crush out
the last hope Of liberty in the South; for
liberty with them means nothing more
nor less than the right of holding human
beings in bondage. South Carol ee ma

rotten aristocracy of that miserable
abode of tories and nullifers were 70 be
crushed. Houses, lands, and princely do
mains were to be oonliscated, and The
proud scions of a rebellious fatherhood,
were 10 be put upon the level wi,hsshonest
hardfstod workingmen. This came near
breaking the hearts of the turbulent dis
lOyalists of Kentucky. They swore;
they got drunk; they did everything
but say their prayers. They wept much
over tho future condition of their beloved
South, and amid their groanings, they
invited John Morgan to bring his band
Of robbers into the State, and do some
thing for them. John came and saw. Int
did not conquer. He left in disgrace, with
out inspiring one ray of hope in the
minds of his crestIallen admirers. Then
came the oonfscation law This with
them was most pestilental. They were
not going to fight Liucoln's battles-no,
not tiey. They were peace men, and
were not going 10 imbrne their hands in
the blood OF their Southern masters.
Their hearts sickened at the idea Of aid
ing those who were sustaining the gov

The bb'e institution Of slavery. But mu-
tatiCn is written upon all things earthly,
and especially upon all things connected
with the Southern Confederacy. In an
auspicious moment, General Burnside
was ordered to the department of Ohio.
Kentucky is in his district, and in one OF
his general orders, he rather insinuated in
plain way that something was going to
be done. The General said there

stupid set Of asses, and remarkably great
liars. They we'll knew who and what
