KENTUCKY. - The vote in Kentucky, with
eleven counties to hear from, foots up an aggre-
gate of l26,6Ss. The total vote for Governor
in 1889 was l4S ,479; in 1850 for President,
l47 PIG Border State Convention in 1861, Ill,
1873. The eleven counties to be heard from will
probably bring the vote OF this year up to $780,
OO0-but Is, 900 less than that of 1859, and not
quite II 900 less than that Of the Presidential
election in 1860. More than this deficiency of
voters have left the State and Joined the rebel
army. All thing considered, therefore, the vote
in 1862 must be considered a fair average, as
compared with elections OF previous years All
the noise and dust raised by the copperhead
press about the suppression of the Wickliffe
vote is manifestly to break the force of the de-
cision Of the people of Kentucky, and give the
enemies of the Union an excuse for insisting
that Kentucky is held to Der allegiance By Fed
eral bayOnets. The returns, however, sufficiently
refute such al assumption.

We last week gave account OF the oestrue-
ton of Lawrence, Kansas, by QuantFelFs band oil
gueriIlas. As the details OF this wanton act OF
barbarity are brought TO light its cruelty and in
humanity become more and mere intensified, an1
sickening in the extreme. A band Of men who
would be guilty of committing such acts are not
worthy TO be called human beings The widest
savages that have ever existed would have
seorned 10 perform such nhuman acts. Nearly
200 human beings we're cruelty murdered in cold
blood, without any warning, or without having
committed any offense. The sole object Of the
hearth s. band Of desperadoes who committed
this crime was 20 plumber and destroy, and lay
waste the property Of the inhabitants of what
ever section Of country they CHANGED to pass
through. To effect this, they murdered whoever
they CHANGED to meet, or they thought might
modest them 10 the accomplishment Of their hel
lish purposes. By such acts as these We sup
pose We are 70 learn What is meant By a regular
system of guerilla warfare, so frequently spoken
of by those whom some Of our own citizens,
even, have seemed pleased 10 call Southern
brethren" To such a system do the rebels In
tend 10 resort when forced 70 abandon their reg
ular army organization. How such acts as these
accord with their complaints from Charleston
and other quarters that our Generals are not
conducting the war on the principles of civilized
warfare We say with the y. Y. Times that II
this Is a specimen Of guerrilla warfare which has
been promised, the general order just issued by
Ma. Gen. Resecrans ought at once to be put in
force, not only 10 the Department of the Cum
berand, but wherever single wretch OF tins
description exists. That order declares that
guerriIlas, "roaming as individuals, or banding
with other brigands, and living by stealing and
plundering, will be treated spies and robbers
enemies Of the human race, against whom It i'
the duty OF all, both military and civilians, tC
wage a car Of Inflammation Moreover Gen
ROsecrans makes the districts which harbol
them responsible; and proclams that, " unless
satisfied that the inhabitants have done thel
full duty and used their utmost endeavors tC
stop the guerrilla warfare, he will lay waste then
country, and render it untenable tor robbers.
This is severe but every consideration OF justice
and safety requires It. Such warfare ia beyond
the pale Of civilization, aud claim neither Law
nor mercy. 1t can be met only by RELENTLESS
determination.

Frederick Douglas announces in his paper that
he has abandoned his post as editor and publisher.
He saws he can now find place for his views
on slavery in some Of the leading papers of the
country, and that a special organ is no longer
necessary. But his real reason for laying down
his pen is as follows:
1.-THE United States are now in the bitteresi
pangs of civil war. Slavery is the cause OF this
terrible war, and its abolition is decreed by one
of the parties TO the war. | am with the aboh
ton party in war as in peace. | discontinue my
paper, because / can better serve my bleeding
countrymen whose great opportunity has nov
come, BY going South and summOning them "a
assert their Just liberty, than can do by staying
here. / am going South to assist Adjutant Gen
eral Thomas, in the organization of troops, who
shall win for the millions in bondage the inestm
able blessings OF liberty and country.
"Slavery has chosen to submit her claims Il
the decision of the God of battles. She has de
iberstey taken the sword, and it is meet tina
she should perish by the sword. Let the op
pressor fall by the hand Of the oppressed, ans
the guilty STAKEHOLDER, whom the voice Of trutl
aud reason could not reach, let him fall by tn,
hand OF his slave. That | should take SOM

KENTUCKY ELEcrIOS.-The hypocrisy of the
cOPperhead journals in asserting that the Ken
lucky election was carried by the force Of Union
bayOnets, is fully illustrated in the following in
cident. The Louisville Democrat, the organ OF
Wicklif, makes this statement:
The postmaster at Fairview, Todd county,
says the election passed off quietly. There were
no military present, and all who felt a clear con
science, and would take the oath prescribed b.
the Legislature, could vote " icithom any HIN
drance." We are pleased to record the fact,
that at one voting precinct in Kentucky, troops
we're not stationed to overawe the voters, aud
that the judges regarded the Law OF the State,
instead Of ii military order.
But look at the result in this district The
Journal shows it up follows:
We have before Us the official vote of this
bright spot" where all could vote " without
any hindrance," who had clear cOnsciences
and were willing to negative their repatriation
on oath. The result OF the election in Todd
county. was: Bramlette. 577 Wickf, 6. Here
il is acknowledged that the election passed of
