THE INTERNAL REvENUE MA
MISREPRESENTATION WANTED

OI4IAA W. ED
There is reason to fear that even Ashland
county is infected with thai official corruption
which has its source at Washington, and which
pervades all departments of the military and
civil service, and which, from its magnitude,
has appalled, the civilized world. IF there is
anything rotten in our Denmark, it does not
attain a dignity higher than petit larceny.
In some instances, we are Informed that
taxes and annual licences have been collected
twice from the same person for the same term.
Witness the following:

BIRD was confined to his bed by a long and

he was required even to pay penalty for al

II have counted twenty-five of the
feet of blockade runners in harbor al
once. All but two that 1 have seen are
English built, with horizontal engines,
and nearly all side-wheelers, the pad
dies so adjusted TO turn up out Of the
way when under sail Two are Yankee
steamboats,, built North, with the walk
ing beam engines, and they have had
their guards cut away since they came
out here, and one mast put into them.
Two of the handsomest the Juliet and
Fannie, belong in Charleston. All are
painted white
Since the 4th Of April 3 great num-
Der of them have sailed. Seven steam
ers and three sailing vessels have arriv-
ed all loaded with cotton. The moon
has been large most of the time, and
they only run in and out on dark nights.
"The gunboat Galena has also been
in the outer harbor two days She
came to the inner harbor and exch ang-
ed salutes with the forts and an English
man-of-War on this station.
There is large feet CT ships, barks,
brigs, and schooners here, say one hun
dred and seVenty-iYe sail, all of the larg
er ones from England, with coal and
merchandise for the steamers. Some
have laid here q long time for a return
freight of cotton. The schoouers most
all belong here, and are wreckers, that
being about the only business done here
before the war. A large number OF
store-houses have been recently built
here and filed with merchandise for
Dixie. Rents are very high, particular

A correspondent of the Mobile Adj

"This portion of Kentucky is I'M

The Federals have frequently declared
their intention to destroy Psducah, and
only wanted a pretext The course
which is being taken by Prentice,
Guthrie, Bramlette, and other leading

Federal administration is producing 8
great change, and viii tend greatly TO
revolutionize the State.
BY their works ye shall know them.
Here is a rebel testifying to the PERM
cious influence of the teachings OF the
leading conservatives Of Kentucky.
This testimony proves that the factious
opposition of the men mentioned in the
paragraph quoted, to the present admin
istration not only makes enemies TO that
administration, but causes men TO for

tors. Their teachings make rebels, while

Brilliant Affair.

One of the bravest incidents that we
have lately heard Of occurred beyond
Scottsboro, on the Huntsville and Ste
venson railroad last Tuesday morning,
about ] O clock Soon after leaving
Scottsboro, nearly one hundred shots
were fired into the train, thirty-eight
striking the locomotive, one Of them
wounding the engineer, B. w. Custer,
in the hand The train did not stop,
but went on nearly half mile, where
the track was torn up, which threw the
whole train into the ditch. As soon as
the accident took place all the available
force on board were set at work trying
to get the locomotive back upon the
track, but were obliged to desist, AS the
guerrillas, over seventy in number,
fired upon them. This caused great
confusion and fright among some, but
Lieut.. John Burrows, of the 3lst Mis-
souri, infantry, Military Conductor, took
the six guards of the 18th Pennsylva-
MIA Cavalry, and repulsed the guerrillas
AS the morning was foggy the attacking
party could not tell how many were
defending the wrecked train, and as
Lieut. Burrows kept his men together
at the point menaced by attack, firing
volley as fast they could load, the
guerrillas were afraid to approach Al
though oounselled by passengers to sur
render, Lieut. Burrows, like q brave
man and true soldier, replied that be
would not until compelled to do So
Two hours passed by, when two compa-
MES of the 56th Ill Vol Infantry came
TO their relief from Mud Creek, two
miles distant, attracted by the firing
They surrounded the place but captur-
cd only four guerrillas, the rest escsp-
ing. The train was well worth robbing,
as one person had SIS, 600 in money, and
the Adams Express Messenger had over
$4,000 worth Of goods in his car. Re-
port says that the messenger was some
what frightened, but succeeded in hid
ing three fifty dollar bills in q place
which we have no idea the guerrillas
would have searched had the train been
captured The engineer, Mr. Custer,
and the six guards Of the 18th Penn
sylvania Cavalry, deserve great praise
for their GOODNESS and bravery, and
Lieut. Burrows well deserves promotion
for his gallant conduct in defending
the train against such odds. No serious
loss was caused by the train being
thrown from the track except that one
brakeman was very badly bruised, but
it is thought that he will recover. We
repeat the assertion that this was one
of the most brilliant affairs we have
lately heard Of snyWhere.-NashviHs
