liberal bounties are offered to induce
men to volunteer. A draft is resorted to
with great reluctance. But if miserable
party leaders aoiU use their position to
discourage volunteering, and thereby
make the draft a necessity, upon them
will the people lay the blame. They

will find that they have made political

Obviously, it is the interest Of all par
ties to encourage volunteering. The
draft must of necessity occasion hard
ships, which may be avoided BY the en-.
enlargement of volunteers. Counties
and cities ought to aid in the good work
There should be no fears about making

DIscouraging Yolunteerlng.

The Vincennes Sun of Tuesday even
ing contains three leading articles on
the subject Of raising volunteers under
the last call of the President We need
hardly say to those acquainted with the
anteeedents of that paper that each arti-
Gle is manifestly intended to prevent
those over whom it has influence, from
volunteering. It insists that none should
enlist but those endorsing the policy of
the Administration. That the "Union
Leagues alone should fill up the ranks
in response to the appeal of their Presi-
dent. 1t can't see that the late call
"ofers any additional inducements for
the democrats to volunteer. "Once," it
says, the President and Congress de-
clared that the war was prosecuted
solely for the purpose of restoring the
Union, and with no intention of inter-
fering with the institutions of any State
Then copperheads filed up the ranks.
They were willing, and are still willing
to fight for restoring the Union. But
you have declared that the war is waged
for something else. You have assured
the Administration and the people of the
South that you will not have the old
Union or the old Constitution. You de

If the ranks of the army were ever
filed up with copperheads, we do not re
member the time. The votes of the sol
diers from those States granting then
the privilege of voting don't indicate tina
the copperheads have filed up the ranks
to any great extent Nor viii they, i

be made out of such operations may b

A New Paper.


Wearied by the persistent misrepre-
sentation Of the unconditional Union
sentiment of Kentucky by the Louisville
Democrat and Journal, the Union men
have determined to establish a paper
that will more truthfully reflect their
views A prospectus has been issued,
which we publish in another place. The
capital of the new concern will be be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. 1t is the
desire of the originators of the enter
prise to make the paper first class in
every respect The first number will be
issued on the first of January, and we
have faith to believe it will be the har-
binger of new era in the politics of
Kentucky.
While the prospectus does not fully
set forth the character of the new paper
we are assured it will sustain the true
interests of the many, instead of pander
ing to the desires and opinions of the
few. It's Unionism will be of the correct
stripe. It will not hold its allegiance tc
the government subordinate to its allie
glance to slavery. 1t will not, as have
the Journal and Democrat, bow dowr
and worship the niger as "divine in
stitution ordained of God for the com
fort of man. On the contrary, if it il
decreed that the extinction of slavery i
necessary for the preservation of tn
Government, it will say amen to the blow
that rids US of the incumbrance
/ Kentucky has long had need of sucl
a paper. The dissemination of doctrine
the opposite of those taught by the Jou'
nat and Democrat, would have develope
a Union feeling more healthy than tina
morbid, sickly sentiment, which regard
the Union as not worth preserving, ez
cept for the perpetuation of America
slavery. We shall hail the advent {
the new paper with satisfaction, an
hope the friends of the Government wi
extent to it a helping hand.

ing Of the re-opening of the lombard

sources of information we judge the in
tention of the enemy to be the erection
within the battered walls of Sumter of a
sand battery, similar to Wagner, but, I'M
ike that work, secure from approach by

"On Tuesday the fire of one heavy
rihed gun between Gregg and Wagner
was directed at the spire Of St. Michael S
Church, in the city of Charleston, and at
least three shots exploded in the city.
Whether they caused any injury is not

One AGAINST NINE.-The Louisville
Journal says the vaunt of the 'chivalry"
of being able each one of them to whip
his weight in Union men has long since
been disproved, and it begins to look as
if the facts would show a reverse state
of the case. On the night Of the 18th
ult, nine bnshwhackers came to the
house of sturdy Union man in Lincoln
county named kirkpatrick, arrested him,
and started away with him. When they
had proceeded about two miles he per-
suaded them to return to his house and
get some supper, and especially some
whisky The last article carried an ire
sistible argument with it, and they went
back, obtained their drink, and some
thing to eat was ordered, and, while it
was being despatched, Kirk contrived to
send off for help. AS soon as the rob-
bers had satiated hunger and thirst, they
were. anxious to start again, and Kirk,
by every ingenious device possible, de-
layed their departure, and listening anx-
iously for the football of friends, but
finally they waited no longer.
When preparing to start, there were
six of them at the back of the house and
three in front Kirk, determined not 70
be captured without struggle, glanced
around, seized stick of wood, knocked
down one of those in front, and with his
doubie-barrelled gun shot the two others,
killing one on the spot and wounding
the other so severely that he died the
next day-Saturday.
Kirk took the man prisoner whom he
had knocked down, and captured nine
horses, three guns, and three pistols; he
received slight wound in the shoulder,
