If we are to Judge bY the speeches of
Wicklih', and Democratic papers, Ken
lucky is not so so much in faver Of emf
a~ncipation as Middle Tennessee, Mist
souri, and Western Virginia. It seems
she is intensely opposed to the Presi-
dents Proclamation. Not that ii directly
effects slavery in her limits, but she is
opposed TO it on principle. The secret is
her Rebel slave-leaders want slavery
perpetuated in the Cotton States, so the
can have a market for their surplus
blacks and mulato children. The day is
not far distant when this miserable, dam
nable traffic viii be abolished. W. think
The next election in Kentucky will give
the lie to Democratic assertions as 10 the
sentiments of her people. There is a
respectable minority, if not q majority,
of her people that are in favor Of getting
rid of the curse Of slavery.

Honorable Disgrace.

"Gov. Wright, who, as a Decocrat, has
disgraced himself, will now have to leave
the Senate and go into Obscurity."-M
Louis Republican.
So has Jno. W. Noel disgraced him
self. So have Henderson, Dickinson,
Holt, Stanton, Dix, Butler; so has brave
Andrew Johnson. All, upon similar logic,
have disgrdced themselves as Democrats.
The essential element of Democracy
seems TO be opposition to the Government
to the very farthest extent that will be
permitted by the people or by the militia
ry authorities. Open and direct treason
is its highest embodiment.-M. Louis

From various letters received BY citi-
Gems of this county from Col. Pennick's
regiment, stationed at Independence, Mo.
we learn that the bush whackers 10 that
vicinity are constantly committing MUIR
ders of the most shocking barbarity. All
of the State Militia who happen to be
out scouting, or are on picket duty, are
in therpOs,T ipaninens sABgfroqf being
way aid and shot. The following ex-
tract of a letter received from Lieut..
FAIRBRoFHER, by bis wife, gives an, ac-
count of the murder Of LEWIS HUrFMAN,
and his cousin, Mr.. JOHSsoS, both resi-
dents of this place: afo0Ti1E I'd
"They Che guerillas,) killed four of
our men the ovher day, aud the mex day
fired upon and severely wounded n of
q company. The men who were killed
were milulated in the most horrId man
ner; being shot several times after they
fell into the rebel hands. One of them
was a young Huffman, that lived between
BrownviIle and Nenaha City, another
was of the name Of johnson who used to
be connected with the Brownville Ferry.
The latter presented the most horrible
sight l ever beheld; equalling any thing
| ever heard Of being committed by the
most feroeious savages. He was shot in
several places his ears were cut of,
and powder put in his head through the
holes where his ears were, and her ig-
nued; his face and head were mangled
all over with boot-heels and bayonet
thrusts. II was a terrible picture Of
savagism, which / did not think even
sh-whackers could perpetrate,"
Mr. Huffman was a young man of
modest department and excellent charac.
ter, and respected by all who knew him.
Mr.. JOhnsOn's character, 50 far as, we
know, was equally good but he was re-
~markably ialkanve, and by this habit,
perhaps, secured the especial hatred Of
the BUSH haCkers. who, in the guize of
''peaceGbLe-citizens," "nOn-resisfants, 9 or
good union-pusn,' may have heard him
talk.

New InFeHtlenS by a Citizen OF
RPOWnVilIe.

We clip the following item from the
Washington ChroaicaI, merely correcting
a mistake by inserting Nebraska in the
second line instead of Kansas:
"a New INvENTIoN.-Mr. Thomas
Welham, a. resident of Nebraska, has
recently procured a patent for an eleva-
tor, to be used in the army instead of
balloons, or other contrivances for the
purpose of taking observations, or on the
coast as a lighthouse, or on ships as a
signal of distress. 7 The instrument is
very simple in its mechanism is portable,
ard can rsisea person to the height of
thousands of feet. The same gentleman
will ina few days have a patent for a
flying machine which has successfully
borne the test Ola trial. A new kind of
0le by which houses may be rooted
cheaply and effectively he has also in
hand.''
Mr.. Welham is an excellent mechan-
ic, and possesses considera bic inventive
genius. We hope he may secure a for
tune by his Inventions.

General Orders,
NO.4.

~Nu f. t
The attention of the General Commanding the
District has been called to the fact that Officers of
this command have exercised the power in numsr-
Gus instances of Granting fCrIoughs.
The practice is in direct eontravention of Orders
and must cease. The following extract from Gen
eral Orders No. 65, from the War Department, da-
ted Adjutant Generals Office, Washington, june
18th, 1882 is published for the information of all.
sRurloughs will not be given by Captains of Com
panies or Colohels of Regiments on any prstext
whatever. A furlough from such authority will
not relieve a soldier from the charge of desertion.
Enlisted men absent from their regiments with
outAuthority, are in fact d~eserters, and not oRly
forfeit all pay and allowances, but are subject to the
penalties awarded by law to such offenders. 20
plea OF sickness, or other cause not officially estah-
lished, and no certsicate Of a physician in civil
life, unless it be approved By some officer acting rs
4 Military Commander, will hereafter avail to re-
move the charge Of desertion, or procure arrears Of
pay, where a soldier has been mustered as ahse ut
from his Regiment without leave"

Charleston will drive back the invaders in ignomin-

her banners flying. There is in command of that
coveted city an old acquaintance of the Yankees
he who made Fort Sumter bend its proud head and
who first sent the Yankees to the right about at
Manassas with velocity unparalleled in the annals
of war He is man whose heart burns with an
intensity of patriotism than equal to the ardor
