gGen. Burbridge Of Kentucky, is a
live man and too much for oil the secesh
and all their sympathises ia that State.
He whipped Morgan's force twice and
shot lot Of his guerrillas whom be
caught engaged in highway robbery. He
quelled Gov. Bramlstte's incipient ten.
dencies to resistance of the Government
and open rebellion, BY sharp word or two
as to the consequences which be would
visit on the Governors head, and fiually
he arrested that Col. Wolford, Who had
been spouting treason in most chivalric
rhodomontade to the great delight Of
Prentice and his Copperhead associates.
Burbrigde and Breckinridge are amongst
the few names in Kentucky worthy to be
recognised ~ -countrymen of Henry
