across those rivers just proceeding i'm
portant elections, in order to preserve
order at the polls and enforce obedience
to power The Government Is now
erecting strong permanent Notifications, at
the cost of millions of dollars, through
out Kentucky, which the Abolitionists
consider a troublesome border State, and
filling them with negro soldiers mainly re-
cruits from loyal citizens in the State.
The same thing is being done, you know,
from Cairo to the Balize, SO that when
the rebellion is crushed out, and the white
rebels :" extirpated - for that is the pro-
gramme-the whole Southern country
will be under the exclusive control of the
free negroes, with State lines and consti-
tutions obliterated or held for naught.
The western and northwestern States will
find, to their sorrow, when the Alississ-
ippi river IS thus under this ignorant Afri-
can control, they will be forced to submit
TO the degradation and danger, or aban-
don all Southern trade
The black troops are everywhere the
pets and favorites Of Lincoln & Co.
Every Abolition political General lauds
them to the skies, and yet l have never
heard Of their whipping white troops
single handed, and never expect to hear
of it.
An instance of naked fayoritism came
under my own observation in Lexington
within the last three days. On Saturday,
as i landed from the cars, large negro
regiment, mainly Kentucky slaves, were
parading the stTeets, with full band of
music, mounted on good, fat horses, finely
dressed and with fancy caps, armed cap

Yesterday I saw three regiments of
white cavalry, or mounted infantry, as
they were termed-I think from Illinois
and iadiana-ljust returning from Stone
mans raid, pale, sallow and leg weary,
(lor they were all on foot and ragged
clothes and dirty shirts, vending their
yyay slowly through the city 10 some tenn
poraCy camp, until they could be sent on
another expedition to the front, while the
negroes would be left behind, marauding
through this country to bedevil our citi-
zeus and keep our families in constant
terror.
l think my old Why friends north of
the Ohio, if they could witness what l
have described, would rush in solid masses
TO the polls in November, and help to save
the country, by voting once for Demo-
cratic ticket, rs / intend to do.
l fully rcciprocate your kind expressions
: Of personal regard, and subscribe myself
Very truly yours,

know when we will get paid,-they say
there is not a cent of money in this de-
partment.
