Immediately after the second
flag of truce retired, the rebels made
a rush from the positions they had so
treacherously gained, and obtained
possession of the Fort, raising the
cry OF No quarter" But little OPP
portunity was allowed for resistance.
Our troops, white and black, threw
down their arms, and sought to escape

the Fort, and secreting themselves be-
hlnd trees and logs in the brush, and
under the brush; some even jumping

above the water. Then followed n
scene of cruelty and murder without
parallel in civilized warfare, which
needed but the tomahawk and scalp

KENTUCKY LETTER.

GREENvILLE, KY, Aug. 26. 1868.
Editors Journal:
It has been debatable question for
some time upon what condition the
Democracy of Kentucky are willing
to receive the Conservative Demo
Gratis into their ranks. This matter
was settled, beyond cavil, by the Hon.
w. N. Sweeney, Democratic candidate
for Congress, in speech delivered in
this town yesterday. They are re-
ceived into the Democratic ranks in
full fellowship. simply by laying aside
their former love for the Union; re-
nouncing their former acts; begging
forgiveness for the same; p!edging
themselves ever afterwards to be true
to the Democracy, and subservient to
the will of their leaders; provided,
however, that they will remain con-
tented in the ranks, work and vote
for all the nominees of the Democratic
party; but in no case shall they be
trusted to lead or hold office of trust
or profit. ~
The Republicans of this county are
getting on their armor for the Fall
campaign, and intend to give an in
creased vote for the great hero, civil
ian, and statesman, U. 5. Grant. M.

When rebels raised the stars and Bars,
And trampled on the Stripes and 81 ars,

Hurrah, &C., as above.
At first his offer was neglected,
In homespun gsrb no one suspected

And whispered in the Governors ear,

His genius fits him to command;
Could he control our army grand,
He'd wave in triumph everywhere
Our banner, minus not a star.

He left kis raw hides In their vats.

THE gentlemen appointed com
mittee to report declaration. of prin-
ciples to the Conservative Soldiers
and Sailors Meeting, held in this city
on Tuesday night last, among other
things asserted the following:
ResolUed, therefore, That we ad-
here to the plan of restoration inau-
gurated by Mr. Lincoln
In adopting this resolution the gem
tIemen were evidently of the impress,
sion that Mr.. LINcoLN's plan of
restor ,tion was identical with that
adopted by Mr.. JOHNSON. Indeed.
the Courier, of Saturday, insists that
the two were the same. This is a
great mistake. The difference be-
tween the two plans was marked
and distinct. Mr.. LINCOLN all
the time recognized the authority
and power Of Congress in reconstruc-
ton, and Mr.. JOHNSON attempted
first to ignore and then to defy that
authority 1t was this difference that
enabled Mr.. LINCOLN to get along
with Congress harmoniously, while
Mr.. JOHNSON succeeded in placing
himself in hostile attitude towards
that body. Therefore, when the young
men declare that they will " adhere to
the plan of restoration inaugurated
by Mr.. LINCOLN" they propose to ad-
here 20 a plan that recognized the
right of Congress to fix the terms
upon which representatives from the
rebel States could be admitted to that
body.
In Mr.. LINCoLN's speech, delivered
Immediately after the victories which
closed the war, he alluded to his plan
of reconstruction proposed in his De-
cember message, and again declared,
as he had done in that message, that
he " distinctly protested that the
Executive claimed no right to say
when or whether members should be
entitled to seats in Congress from
such States" One of his Cabine
officers insisted that he ought to omi
the protest against his own power il
regard to the admission of members
of Congress. but he refused to do so
Not only 50, but Mr.. LINCOLN evi
IDENTIFY regarded the question of negro
suffrage in the South in a favorable
light. He expressly avoWed his de-
sire that the elective franchise shoulc
be conferred ON the most intelligent
negroes, aud those who served the
Union cause as soldiers. The only
miscreants, then, who impeach this
resolution adopted by the meeting OF
which we speak, are those who sun
port SEYMOUR aud BLAIR and abuse
Congress for exercising power which
Mr.. LINCOLN expressly said was con
fded to that body.
