WAR HAS ITS TRIUMpHs, So HAS PEACE
While the armies Of the Union were
winning brilliant victories, the Chemical
Saleratus was enjoying series of unin-
terupted triumphs over the popular aver
sion to all saleratus, because the common
kinds in use were found to be destructive.
Science had demonstrated that the Chem-
ical .Saleratus was not only pure in its
nature, but wonderful in its effects, pro-
ducing better bread and biscuit than any
other kind of saleratus or soda known.

LETTER FROM KENTUCKY.
Provost MARsTAL's 0FFICE,)
LEXINGTON, June II, 1868. {
Editor nemocrat :


Editor Democrat:
After having the privilege of visiting the
friends at home and shaking the friendly hand
of many friends, and receiving many heart
felt " Good health and success to you,.' l am
again at my favorite desk. The big guns are
all quiet on the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock" ra
Lexington is clothed in quietude, peace and
tranquility. And the same may be said of
the District of Central Kentucky. Changes
(Which constitute one of the main operations
in the army however are still being made.
Gen. Wilcox is relieved from the command
of the District of Central Kentucky, and
takes command of the Department of Indi-
ana and Michigan. Brig. Gen. Sturgis, is.
commandant of this Post.
Gen. Burnside's army is again on tho move.
/ Its place of destination is no doubt, Vicks-
burg. Many are the anxious thoughts of
Fathers and Mothers, Brothers and Sisters
that center about Vicksburg Thousands
have already fallen, and it is to be feared that
thousands are still to fall We are glad to
know prospects are exceedingly favorable for
us. The day we get Vicksburg that day is
the back bono of the rebellion broken. The
rebels have got to be whipped. 1t is so Or
dered by Divine Providence. The day has
not yet come but it is coming, no-mistake it
is coming. And Gopperheads of the North
can't change this decree. By the way, of all
the things that conspire to make the soldier
boys mad when they come home, is to find
rebels within shot of our homes Oh, the
Copperheads they are to lie pittied obliged
as they are to live among Union folks,
among those that love their country and are
willing 10 sacrifice their sons and husbands in
IFS defense. Would that they might enjoy
the blessings of their southern friends in
Dixies land And if ], in my small sphere
of action in the army, can do anything for
them in their suffering condition, with all my
heart I will do it. If by reporting their names
to Gen. Burnside with statement of their
expressions, sentiments ard sympathies for
their southern patriots, l can get transport
for them to the blisstul climes Of rebeldom
will do all in my power to do it. And I'm
Gle Sam will furnish them the necessary trans
portation. With Gen. Burnside's help Val
landigham got over the lines, and presume,
Others can in the same way. Quite good
squad could be raised in Portage County
Would that the 1O4th o. v l. could be de-
tailed to make the arrests.
In Kentucky let man be heard to express
one sentence of disloyalty, and he is arrested.
It ought to be so throughout the whole North.
No mistake, Northern Rebels, slavery has
got to be crushed. There is no such thing as
peace and slavery existing at the same time.
just so long as slavery lasts in this nation,
just so long will there be war. We are not
fighting for the "niggers,o no indeed. But
we are fighting to support the present admin
istration, and for the Government of the t,ni-
ted States; and are ready to spill our blood
upon the battle field in their defense.
