INTERPRETING WITH ENLIsTNESTs.
Negroes who tried to enter the
Union army, andy were rejected for I'M
soundness, have been seYerly punished
by their rebel masters. Among well
authenticated cases we note the follow
ing Felix Ashbrook, of Cynthiana.
had some slaves who came to Covineton
TO enlist One Of them was rejected
Captain Wilson, then in command ct
Covington, ordered him TO be return
ed to his master. When Ashbrook.
reached Cynthiana he put the slave in
jail, and ordered the iailer to give him
a certain number of lashes daily until
further orders The iaileF, John Bruce,
whipped him two days successfully.
and on the third day notified Ashbrook
that iishe whipped the slave again. he
WAS afraid he would die.
!. I. Martin took back one of his
negroes under similar circumstances,
and whipped him almost to death.
De Rebels coUcHAST.
Cynthiana is to-day the headquarters
for skulking rebels. Scouting PARTIES
have developed the fact that Waidrop's
mill, a few miles west of that place. is
a rebel rendezvous; and that the gang
now in Trimble county, short time
ago we're there, having been collected
from the debris of Morgan's forces, and
still threaten descent on stations be
low talDouth on the Kentucky Central,
when they think the Union guards may
be weak. The reliance of the Cynthi-
ana rebels upon such gangs makes them
bold and defiant, taking from the hos
pital the rebel wounded to their own
homes The rebel women who receive d
Morgan with cheers, scornfnlly insult
United States officers and soldiers on
the streets. 1t is useless to talk Of con
eiiiating such persons They are rebels
at heart and in fact are spies, lreuf3in-
ing behind because they can letter
serve the rebel cause, hoping to drive
true Union men from the soil of KEN
lucky
1t Is but meagre tribute TO. the
Union men and women Of Cynthiaha,
TO say that their devotion TO their Gov
eminent at the peril Of midnight assas-
sination, IN the midst Of rnarauding cut
-throats, and with the flames consuming
their homes, has not been surpassed.
When the bullets whistled in the
streets, and the town was given over to
Morgan's gang when the rebel women
were drank with exultstion, the Union
women of Cynthians did their whole
duty to the wounded and dying de
tenders. 1t rests with the military au-
thorities to decide whether they shall
be driven from their homes now by
rebel terrorism. and a premium be paid
to treason, or not If ever traitors de-
served the iron hand of justice laid up
on them with no abatement. the rebel
citizens Of Cynthiana have merited it,
and the loyal men Of Kentucky and
Ohio whose cons have baptized the hills
Of Cynthiani with their blood, expect
it TO fan stelnly and at once. SlCNA.
