Rebel conscription IN Kentucky.

We understand, says the Louis
vile Democrat, that tits the intention
Of she rebels in aud about Owensboro
to commence conscriptiug all the
young in Daviess and adjoining coun.
ties. In consequence of this fact, n
great many young men are fleeing
from their homes, going to different
places in the Northern States, On
the last trip up of the Morning Star
to this port, there were quite uum-
bor Of persons who were escaping the
conscription' on hoard. A number Of
young married couples came up rs far
ms Rockport, aud other points, where
they expect TO remain until the rebels
leave that portion of the country
Matters along the Ohio seem to be
getting more quiet of late, which is
an evidence that guerrillas are scarce,
or that all the small rebel forces have
been consolidated at Henderson and
Owensboro', previous to their de-
parture for Dixie.

SHAMEFUL.

1t is wrong, but how are we TO help
it-Lincoln is in power. This is the
common expression used by the
Copperheads, after abusing Lincoln
for some of his official acts. 1t is
shameful, but Lincoln is in power
is to continue so for four long years
to come.
But the most shameful" thing of
which we have heard them complain
is the way in which Lincoln carried
Missouri "He allowed Price to in
wade Missouri, whereby many of the
Mcclellan men were enticcd into his
army, thus losing votes and throwing
the State into his own hands"
This was an awful invasion OF
the purity of elections. What pity
that Mcclellan had not been in com
mand there; he would have prevent
ed Prices entrance in that State, and
his vigorous style of prosecuting the
war would have been just the thing.

Rebel Terror Of Fianking Operations.
Sheridan's way of curcumventing
the rebels disgusts the Richmond
Editors. The Whig says: "The
name of flank movements raises q
lsuperstitious terror in our Generals,
it seems to us. They hove but one
way to check it, and that is to fall
back aud get out Of the difficulty.
At least. we do not know that they
have attempted another, unless the
attack Of General Lee upon grants
flank ut the Wilderness be an excep-
ton"
The Mobile Advertiser publishes q
letter from Capt. Ben. Lane Posey,
which contains the following para
graph upon the advantages and dis
advantages OF nauking and getting
flantcd "Sherman's move was
very. desperate one, and was last
resort Had we remained Mt Atlanta,
Sherman's movement would have
played itself out of its one weight.
cannot understand this morbid fear
which West Point men have of being
honked, or having their communica-
tions cut of. Communications are
necessary for two purposes only: To
get ratiOns and ammunition, and to
get endorsements. The way to OBJ
viate such necessary is to have all
your army together already; have it
large enough for the purposes, and
have with it, all needful supplies; have
n little more than the enemy has,
Then let him flank. He is then in
our rear, and we are in his rear. We
are in the heart of our country and
near our supplies. The enemy is in
motion-has his supplies to haul in
WAGONS over dirt roads, which roads
we command He is four hundred
miles from home. and has less to eat
than we have. Who will starvc tirstp
Who can stay longest? say, then,
that ] cannot understand this morbid
fear which West Point men have of
being 1anked. If hanking is so dam
gerous to us, it is more so to them
and WHY, and why don't we try it
on them 2
The Richmond Wing, commenting
upon this letter says "The Russians
and Austrians at Austcrlitz attempted
to do the thing which Sherman ac-
tuallv did do at Atlanta. The at
tempt in their case brought on the
destruction Of their army. In Sher-
mans case it brought on the defeat
of his cncmy's army. There must
have been wonderful difference in
= the manner in which the manoeuvrc
was met by the French Emperor and
Confederate general"

rnE LATE PRESiDEN .IAL EtEC.
TIDN


There is Latin quotation, which
translated reads. "The voice of the
People is the voice of God" It is
an expression in common use, but is
particularly applicable to the pres
ent time. The people have spoken,
and through them is heard the voice
of God proclaiming that the Union
shall he restored in its unity.
Yes, the people have spoken. From
the coast of Name down to the very
verge of the Confederacy to the
shores of the Pacific; to the Canada
border--eyerywhere all over the 10y
al States, comes the glorious tidings ;
Union-Liberty--Peace
The people have spoken--what
have they said "The Union must
and shall be preservedw The war
must go on till the rebels throw down
tlNii W hio, tuc ItuclilOu IL crushed
out and the Union is restored to its
former integrity. A permanent
peace is attainable only through a
vigorous prosecution of the war -
Believing that Abraham Lincoln has
done all that mortal man could do to
further the restoration of the Union
and has nearly accomplished the
glorious work, we delegate him to
complete it. Nothing will satisfy us
but restored Union, lasting peace
and a Chief Magistrate who will
give us them.
God bless the people--snd may
lie in his Infinite wisdom give them
speedily what they have hoped, vo
ted and PRAYED for--Union, Liberty
and PeaceI

A paragraph in the receut foreign
news says that the Danish Govern
ment is anxious TO sell its West India
possessions to the United States. -
Considering the straits of the Danish
Government, arising from the war
waged against her by Germany, this
is 10y no means improbable. The
Danish dominions are composed OF
the Farce Islands, Iceland, Green
land, the Nicobar Islands, and the
West India Islands, ST. Thomas, Santa
Cruz and San Juan, in addition to the
European kingdom and duchies.--
The three West India Islands contain
together an area of about one hundred
and eighty eight square miles, and an
aggregate population of 10000 souls
St Thomas, the most important OF
these Islands, enjoys n very extended
commerce.

The Moryland Free Constitution
makes some very important changes
in tbe law of the state. 1t declares
that all men are created equally free,
and entitled to the enjoyment of the
proceeds on their own labor; that here
attcr there shall be neither slavery
nor Involuntary servitude, except in
nnpishment OF crime, whereof ,the
party shall have been duly convicted;
and and all persons held to service
or labor rs slaves are declared free.
If nrohibits the General Assembly
passing any law to comenpsate mas
tcrs or claimants of slaves emanci-
pated by the Constitution. Lotteries
are forever aGoli shed by the Constitu-
tion. It anlrms that the Constitution
and laws of the United States are the
supreme law of the land, to winch
every citizen Of the State owes para
mount allegiance. The Legislature
is to make provision for 'ahing the
vote of soldiers in the field. An inn
portant feature of the Constitution is
that which renders ineligible to office
and incompetent to vote at any elec
tion, unless restored to citizenship by
a two third vote of the Legislature,
all persons who have aided the REBEL
ion in any way, either by service,
money, goods, letters or by informa- /
tion. This will disfranchise a great
many of the richer citizens of Mary
land, and is the first attempt made by
any State to punish its citizens for
lending aid to the rebellion.
