Editors Journal:
Some time has elapsed since l last
wrote you, but nothing of interest has
Itranspired in this benighted region,
Tor | would have told you. Our Cir
Scuit Court has closed its Fall term,
and to accompany Stone to the peni-
ltentiary we have two other represent
atives, one negro and one white man.
The negro has gone for the long term
of ten years; the white man for five.
Stone was only elected for two. It
lis hard to tellrwhich will make the
best representative.
As Congress is now in session, ali
eyes seem TO be turned in that direc-
tiOn, but more especially the rebel
portion of the community. Their
guilty consciences keep them contiI-
ually on the look out for some sad ca
lamity TO befali them. The Union
men have no fears, knowing their
destiny IS in loyal hands. The rebels
are looking continually fer the papers
TO announce the admission OF the
rebel delegation from this State. But
am In hopes the day IS still far in
the distance when a rebel from any
State will be admitted as Il member OF
our National Council Lit is hard
enough to bear them in our State
Governments, but we will not do as
they did, rebel because we cannot
rule; but as good citizens we will
submit. hoping the time is not far dis
tant when, by the voice of free and
enlightened people, rebels will be
hurled from power, End our Govern.
Or's chair and Legislative halls Will
never again be disgraced by any Of
the God -f0Isa Ken tribe.
As the Presidential canvass an
proaches, l hear many names sug
gested, but none so prominent among
Union men as General Grant, and if
the party think proper to nominate
him he will get the entire Union vote
Of Kentucky On the rebel side. |
hear of many candidates, but Brock
inridge and Vallandigham stand the
best show, if Princeton rebels had to
nominate them. If JEFF. Davis's trial
was over, he is their first choice.
The Progress has not got its ticket
out yet. 1t is waiting for some Of the
! larger dogs to lead off, then he will
follow. At the present time | do not
think he could find a ticket to suit
him if he was to try. All OF the candi-
dates are too loyal for his style. He
is now quietly waiting for some one
to do mean enough trick to entitle
him to the nomination at the hands
of his party, (for that is all the quail
i6eation they need to elect them now
and then he will hcist his name at
his masthead, if he does not play cut
before that time, but from the ap-
pearance of the Progress this week,
it has about played out. 1t is out this
evening in a hand bill size. Next
week, suppose, it will come out in
card form, announcing its departure.
Should this be the case, we, as one Of
its constant readers, will ask OF the
Colonel and two Majors to give it d
decent burial, and inscribe on lis
tomb, Thou art gone to the grave.
but we will not deplore thee"
BY the way, the lesser man has
added one half to his former size by
taking unto himself ore of Prince
tons fair daughters. We wish you
much happiness, socially, Blande,
but n0t'a drop politically.
l have just scanned over the jour
NAL Of the 2lst, and find it as good
as ever. When we get our railroad
completed and such, a paper az TIC
JOURNAL established in our town.
then Princeton VIII come out Of the
ashes shining as bright as a silver
dollar does to a hard-up rebel. But
enough. / close with my best wishes
for your excellent JOURNAL.
ANXIOUS.
