the following correspondence:
LOUISVILLE, June 2S.
Hon. 7. e. Branaiette
DEAR SIR:-Your old friend Wolford has
been arrested, and is to-day In the hands of
traitors to our Constitution; he is your bosom
friend and political friend. You are the Gov
ernor Of Kentucky, and ought to see that no
citizen Is imposed upon by any power on
earth.
The community knowing the intimacy that
exists between you and Col. Wolford, are
looking to you anxiously, aud every one says,
What will Gov Bramlette do? One man re-
marked to-day that you would submit like
whipped dog, as you did on the negro enlist
ment; another one said it was your OK gored;
another said 1t was not your ox-so you see
the diversity Of opinion. Some people think
you had him arrested, and others, having
more charity for you, don't think so.
Bayonets elected you last summer, and
bayonets will now keep your mouth shut, II
you open 1t; that is the universal sentiment.
Your doctrine Of putting down the rebel
lion as being universal cure for all diseases
is all boeh.
How are you going 10 put down the aboli-
tion party, II you are not allowed TO speak?
You are in the vortex and will be swallowed
up.
AOu WILL cudOtet the duiiilutUdllOn DeiOrG
twelve months; mark what say.
Bob Breckinridge has been traitor TO the
Constitution of his fathers, and since he has
used you up, you viii fall in also.
Yours, W. j. BENTLY.
{ COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY,

w. J. Bently, Louisville;
Sir: Your insolent letter OF yesterday,
t2Sthl came TO hand this morning. ! learned
when a boy at school TO
Let dogs delight to bark and bite.
For God has made them so:r
and most cheerfully do extend TO you the
benefits of the lesson; for whether dog or
puppy, the instinct Is the same.
But as you manifest decided symptoms OF
reasonable Rabies, If your master JEFF Davis
expects you to grow to full-sized dog, he
shonld keep you muzzled or in doors during
dog days" lest the "dog- slayer shou Id pass
your way on "his beat"

are stigmatized as fanatics. We have never
met a man hardy enough to call DIR. Franklin
a fanatic, yet he presented petition to Con-
gress, in the year 1870, a few weeks before his
death, calling for the abolition of slavery, in
terms that have not been improved upon by
the most ardent Emancipationist of later days
The petition was signed by "B. Franklin,
President of the Society for promoting the
Abolition OF Slavery, the Relief of Free Ne
groes held In bondage, and Improvement OF
the African Race" and set forth the following
doctrine: THAT mankind are all formed by
the same Almighty Being, alike objects of his
care, and equally designed for the enjoyment
OF happiness, the Christian religion teaches
US to believe, and the political creed of Amer
leans fully oincides with this position" The

buiialoes, rhinoceros, tigers and wild boars,
and the ground all about the pools Is covered
with their footprints. We live almost in
besieged place, every moment dreading some
attack of the enemy, aud keeping our guns
constantly loaded. Sometimes they come
close to our quarters, and we cannot go even
a few steps into the woods without hearing
them. As general rule, however, they
fly from the approach of man, and in or
der to get shot, 1t is necessary to lie in
wait either amongst the branches OF a tree
or hidden amid the brushwood near the spots
where they come to drink. Scorpions, cent?
pedes, and above all, serpents, were the ene-
mics we most dreaded, and against which
precautions were chiefly requisite but the
mosquitoes and the leeches, though less dan
gerous, were the most troublesome and most
inyeterate plaques. During the rainy season
you cannot be too much on your guard; go-
ing to bed or getting up, you are ever in per-
il of putting hand or foot on some venomous

AN INCREDIBLE BARBARITY. The chiv-
airy OF the South has exhibited fresh proof
of their boasted devotion to woman. Not
content with giving her the precedence in
the ball room and by the fireside, they would
have her take the advance on the battle.fie
also. These brave Southrons rally valorously
behind woman's skirts. A telegram from
st. Louis informs us that at the late fight at
Paducah they put their helpless females for
ward as the bulwark of defence against
storm of Federal bullets. and with a sharp
ness which even Yankee would not have
practised, availed themselves of a flag of
truce to restore their shattered lines In
Southern parlance this may be chivalrous,
but the world will unite in pronouncing such
atrocity fiendish, and the annals of civilized
warfare will be searched in vain for parallel
for so barbarous an outrage upon woman.-
We trust that for the honor of humanity the
despatch will prove to be unfounded.-[ Wash
ington Chronicle.

Saturday Morning, April o, 1864.
Proclamation OF Freedom.

When the final draft of the proclamation
was presented by the President To the Cabi-
net, it closed with the paragraph stating that
the slaves it liberated would be received into
the armed service OF the United States. Mr.
Chase objected to the appearance OF docu
ment OF such momentous Importance withou
one word beyond the dry phrases necessary
to convey its meaning: and finally proposed
that there be added to the Presidents draft
the following sentence:
And upon this act, sincerely believed TO be
an act ofjustice, warranted by the Constitu-
tion, invoke the considerate judgement of
mankind and the gracious favor OF Almighty
God.v
Mr.. Lincoln adopted the sentence as Mr..
Chase wrote it, only intermngling after the
word "Constitution" the words, upon militia
ry necessity" and in that form the procla-
nation went to the world and history.
The President originally resolved upon the
policy of issuing this proclamation in the
summer of 1862. As he expressed it himself.
everything was going wrong; we seemed to
have put forth our utmost efforts; and he
really did not know what more to do, unless
he did this. Accordingly, he prepared the
preliminary proclamation, nearly in the form
in which it subsequently appeared, called the
Cabinet together and read it to them
Mr.. Montgomery Blair was startled. "If
you issue that proclamation, Mr.. President
he exclaimed, you will lose everyone of the
fall elections
Mr.. Seward on the other hand, said, / ap-
prove of it, Mr.. President, just as it stands
approve OF 1t in principle, and approve the
policy of issuing it. ! only object TO the
time. Send it out now, on the heels of our
late disasters, and it will be construed as the
convulsive struggle of drowning man. TO
give it proper weight, you should reserve it
till after some victory"
The President assented to Mr.. Stewards
view, and it was withheld till the Fall, when
1t was issued almost precisely as originally
prepared. The one TO which Mr.. Chase sup
piled the concluding sentence was the final
Proclamation, issued on the subsequent first
of January.-lCor. Cincinnati Gazette.
This story that Mr.. Chase supplied the con
GLIDING sentence of the emancipation procla-
nation, has been contradicted by Mr. Lincoln
himself.
