A VILE FALsEHooD- Gen. Burnside pre-,
tends to give as an excuse for declaring
martial law in Kentucky, that "the rebels
were invading the State for the purpose Of
controlling the election" A more trans
parent falsehood was never invented to
cover a vile proceeding. According to the
government telegraph" good authority
against them, every rebel" was driven out
of the State on the very day that Burnside
issued his order! And there never had been
but a few, and those in one corner of the
State, at any time. Suppose few guerillas
were in Chautauque county, of our State,
would it be proper to put the whole State
under martial law on that account? But it
can be proved that there was not a southern
soldier in the State on THE VERY DAY THAT
BURNSIDE ISSUED HIS oRDER!-Neio York

quietly. On which the Democrat very

TEE WAR NEWS.

The past week, has apparently been one
OF inactivity, except before CharlestoH, the
siege of Fort Wagner being still in progress.
The armies of Meade and Lee have made
no important movements, both probably
gathering re-enforcements. The present
quiet, however will no doubt be soon dis
turbed by the bursting thunders of battle
There is nothing important from Grant,
Rosecrans, Johnston or Bragg, except the
old rumor, repeated for the hundreth time,
that Bragg's men are deserving him in great
nuubers

MISTAKE IN THE PR1NT.-The platform
adopted by the bogus Union party pledges
them to correct errors and wrongs by the
peaceful and powerful agency of the suf-
frages of free people. They meant by
military orders and the bayonet. That was
what they meant, but by slip of the pen
or tyre they said otherwise. They ought

pie will think they intended to-to--to--lie.

WAsu1seroN August Ex-Governor Sey

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Governor Sey-
mour, under date of Albany, August .,
writes to the President with respect to the
draft in New York and Brooklyn. He con-
demus the course of the Provost Marshal
in commencing the draft without consulting
with the city or State authorities, at time
when the militamen were absent at tho
seat of war, while there were not even SOL
diers enough to m an the Notifications IN the
harbor. The Governor complains OF IN
fairness in the enrolment, and thinks in the
lottery fer human life, as he termed It,
tn ere should be strict impartiallity.
In the rural districts the draft has been
executed with Justice, and conscripts have
accepted tb cir fate without a murmur, and
sometimes joyfully. In the districts OF
New York, however, with population
much less. the number to be drafted is in
some cases double that of the former
The attack on the enrolling officers, which
subsequently grew into the most destruc-
tive riot known in the history of the coun-
try, he pronouuces unjustifiabie. In speak
ing further of riots in New York, he says
the disregard for law and disrespect for ju
dicial tribunals produced their natural re-
suits Of robbery and arson, accompanied
by murderous outrages in helpless place,
and for time the very existence of the
commercial metropolis of our country was
threatened.
1t is gratifying to know that the citizens
of New York were able, without material
assistance fIom the State or Nation, to put
down this dangerous Instruction. For a
time it had not means to protect its own ar
senals and navy yards; one thousand men
could have seized them all aud then used
the ornaments for the destruction of the
SHINING and the city itself to saw nothipo
of the vessels which were at that time en-
gagged in burning our merchant ships al
most within sight of our coast. The Gov
ernor also complains that no credit has been
given to the city for the number Of volun-
teers sent and the noble exertions of the
militia in times of peril; he therefore asks
for suspense, at least. of the draft tilt its
constitutionality Is tested.
The President, in reply. under date of
August z. says he can not suspend the draft
in New York beause the time is too ;mpor-
tant. He admits the disparity of quotas in
the different sections. and accounts for it
by the fact that 30 many more who were
unfit for duty are in the city than In the
country, who have too recently arrived from
Europe to be included in the census of
1860, still he would not consider ;that rea-
son sufficient
He would direct the draft to- proceed to
the drawing of only the everage quota of
all the districts. After this drawing, city
districts shall be carefully enrolled, and
the Governors agent might assist. Due
credit will be given for all volunteers
The President would not object to abide the
decision of the Supreme Court. He would
be willing to facilitate it, but could not con-
sent to lose the time.

direction of M sjor General Foster. accompa-
MED by tn turreted iron clad Sangamon and

set, proceeded up James River, and when
within seven miles of Fort Darling, at a
point called Dutch Gap. torpedo was ex-
ploded under the bow of the Comm odore
Barney, by lock strongly connected with
the shore. The explosion was terrific. It
lifted the ganboat's bows ten feet out of wa

| into the ar, which, falling on deck, washed
overheard fifteen of the crew. Among them
was Lieutenant Gushing, Commander of rhe
Barney. Two sailors were drowned. The
rest were saved. Major General Foster was
on board when the explosion took place.
The enemy then opened upon them from
above with twelve pound field pieces. The
Barney was penetrated by fifteen shots; be-
sides a great number of musket balls, but
not man was injured except paymaster,
who was slightly wounded by splinters -
Inc gunboat Cohasset received five twelve
pound shots, one of which passed through
her pilot houuse, instantly killing her COM
mander, Acting Master Cox, striking him in
the back. -
The Commodore Barney was towed to
Newport News to be repaired.
The object of the reconnaissance was ac-
complished and the feet returned.

To the Editor of the Enquirer:
The election is over in old Kentucky, and
1 suppose Bramlette is elected, not because
he got majority of the voters of the State.
but because the election was carried at the
point of the bayonet. General Shackleford
issued an order that no candidate should
run for Office, or be voted for, who was not
in all things loyal, and who was not for a
vigorous prosecution of the war, and for m en-
and money, &C.; and that he would enforce
the order by his army: So we did not vote.
Wickliffe if the order had not been stuck up;
we would have gotten a majority in this
part of the country if the loyal D emocrats
had been allowed vote. Democr ats are
called secesh or traitors. We, here in Ken
lucky, do not have the same freedom that
you of Ohio do. Kentucky is more under
military rule than any free State.

Our Late Victories.


The people Of the Confederate States have reason
TO be thankful for the splendid victories which h:ye
recently crowned their arms. At Fredericksburg
theaower of the enemy's troops-the hosts on which
they confidently relied to take Richmond have been
hurled back with immense slaughter. At MUIR
freesborough signal victory has been achieved,
which, together with the failure of the enemy in
their attack on Vicksburg, will 60 very far to break
their power in the Mississippi valley.
The new year opens brightly for the Southern
cause. The Yankees are no nearer the consumma.
OF their work of subugation than they were year
ago. Let US be patient and hopeful, and cour'
ageous Peace may yet be distant, but one thing
we know, and that is, we are on the road to it. A
constant succession of disasters to our enemies and
OF victories for us, must sooner or later, end the
war
