BILE for the events which transpired
in Southern Kentucky, bear their just
burden of whatever odium may attach
thereto. With not only the spirit, but
the very letter of instructions from
Gen. Boyle-the great discretionary
power placed in the hands of Col.
Foster-that officer had supreme pow
er over the lives and fate of every cit
izen within his jurisdiction--ABsoLUTF
and unqualified; while the orders
constantly sent him in the brief, la

were such as to urge him on to a gen

very few men were killed, as we are
able to learn; but it is no fault of
Fosters superior officer. COOL i.1@
Such is but an outline of the I'M
published history of events which are
destined to create deep indignation
in the hearts of all Kentuckians.
1t seems astounding that any COM
mander could have exhibited such a
despicable barbarian spirit in his or
ders to subordinate, and still pre-
seryefreedom from the responsibility
by permitting the people to fasten
the odium upon a subordinate; and it
seems equally astonishing that such
subordinate should consent to bear
that odium, from desire to protect
his superior, upon whom the fate of a
railroad enterprise temporarily rests,
to his own prejudice
We are mo disturber of the peace
of communities; nor do we desire to
rake up the dead past from its fever
ish sleep. mBut as an independent
journalist, we deem the publication of
what bears. the unmistakable stamp of
truth, to be no crime against God or
man, and we have thus given above
statement of facts contained in Off
cial documents. We have been asked
not to make this exposition for the
reason which has induced Col. Foster
to silently bear the mountain of oblo-
guy which has rested on his name in
certain quarters, lest the publication
thereof should prejudice the success
of the I" Evansville, Henderson and
Nashville Railroad, of which Gen.
Boyle is President; but, upon refec-
ton, we feel that nothing will be haz-
arded by the statement .a
1t rests with Gen. Boyle to satisfy
the public as to the remarkable char
acter of therorders addressed by him
to his subordinate In. command in
Southern Kentucky during the war,
which we doubt not his ability to do.lI
In TACT, his reputation as a Christian
soldier of a nation. priding itself
seems to ask an explanation These |

the country, and will be read with in
tense interest by the people of South /
ern Kentucky at least, when made

From the Evansville Courier, May 3Oth.I
A Statement.
We have not the slightest dispo-
sition to do injustice to any human
being, nor do we believe in personal
attacks. upon the character of any
person because he happens to be a
political opponent. No cause on
earth was ever forwarded by such
personalities, and while we have al
ways been bold and fearless In de-
nouncing the aetseof public men that
we. believedto be wrong, we have gen.
orally avoided assailing their motives
or their private character. Stung,
however, by what was considered
personal allusion in the Journal
to the proprietor of this pa
per, paragraph slipped into
the Courier some days ago
which has been regarded as rejecting
upon the character of one of the edi-
tors of the journal, in connection
with his conduct as a military officer
in Kentucky, in 1862 At the invita-
ton and request of that gentleman,
we have read and examined his papers
orders and instructions from supe-
rior officers, receipts, reports, &c
having reference to his actions as
military commander in Kentucky,
and must say, after close investi-
CATION, that we could see nothing in
them that affected his integrity for
honesty. The orders and instruc-
tions were very strict and severe
indeed, and in their execution we
are not surprised that Col. Foster
gave great offense to that portion of
the people of Kentucky over whom
he was placed. Most emphatically do
we condemn those orders. They were
harsh beyond all necessity, and un-
just in principle and Cypress i've in
their execution. The idea of making
a large class of citizens, supposed to
sympathize with the rebellion, re-
sponsibie for the acts of few BAD
men among them, and levying con-
tributions off them, however innocent
they might be, to pay for the depreda-
tons of proWling bands of guerrillas
WITH whom they had no connection, /
is most abhorrent to every sense of
justice -andsright, but a close investi-
cation of the papers convinces'l us
that Colonel Foster was in no
way benefited pecuniarily by the
collection or distribution Of these
funds, and that he acted under orders
from his superior officer in the mat
ter, aud his course was fully approved
by the Government. We find that
the moneys thus levied were used for |
the purposes indicated; that they
were disbursed by other officers, and |
fully accounted for to the Govern
ment: and that he did not receive |
any pecuniary benefit from
the disbursement. While most !

of Colonel Foster as military com
mander in Kentucky, and holding our-1

was the instrument to carry into
