CoNFEDRrT X ROADS,
W1oH Is IN THE STATE Nv KENTUCKY,


HEv notist with delite which hez
no bounds the encurridgin skeems with
our brethren NV the South, the uncon-
kered and undismayed adherents NV the
late Confedracy, wich wuz crushed by
the unholy minyuns NV the late feend,
A. Linkin, but wich will rise agin to
elaine its own, hev put in to the late
Fedrel usurphashen for the improve
ment NV the commershel facilities NV
the South and the developin NV its
greatnis. The sum NV two hundred
milyuns for the improvement NV South
ern rivers, and the buildin NV Southern
railroads, though not ez much ez we
ought to hev, will anser ez beginnin.
Ef the North is willin to vote that
amount to consulate the gallant South,
it will be willin to vote ez much more
to keep her conciliated, and when that
is properly expended it will be easy
enough to git up another rebelyun
wich will hev to be settled the same
way. The sunny South hez done well
by her rebelyun, after all. She has now
control NV the lower house, and the
subsidies and appropriashens now be-
fore CongTis will more than pay her
for all the war cost, espeshelly when
we take into account the fact that we
repudiated all the debts we owed the
North at the beginnin, and that En-
gland furnisht all the money on wich
the war wuz carried on. The two hun
dred millyuns wich the Fedrel. Govern
ment is goin to give us, eff Republican
SENT don't prevent it, is, / may say,
cleer game.
The Corners hez been anxus to be
consiliatid ever sence it hez gone over
the Appropriation bills. Sence them
| bills hev bin understood at the Corners,
the citizens hev murmured. They want
to know wat symptom NV bein recon

know why they shood not be brot into
akkord with their oppressors the same

why they shoodent be pacified ez is

the Confedracy, or wich contribbitid no
more to the destrukshen NV the Fedrel

Pogram both insistid when they red the
list NV these appropriations, that on
less Congris did suthin to attach 'em to
the Fedrel Government they shUod re-
Fmane embittered to the end NV ther
days, and shoOd never be reconsiled.
They wuz conkered, but they wuz not
destroyed, and the tyrant mite look for
'em to rise; in their mite. at almost
any time.
We held meetin over it, and the
follerin resolooshens wuz past: a
WAREAs, The Corners wuz ez firm in
its devoshun to the late scotched Con-
federacy ez any porshen of the South
and --
WAREAs, The Corners wuz never
consiliatid and hates the Fedrel Yoon-
yum ez hartily and bitterly ez it ever
did; and
WAREAs, The Fedrel Congris is a
passin all sorts NV appropriashen bills
to pacify the Southern hart, and to show,
practically, that by-gones is by-gones,
witch the Corners approve NV ez it dom t
pay no taxes and never did; therefore
ReSOlUed, That the Corners is NV the
opinyun that it kin never regard the
North ez brother, and clasp hands
with it, with one flag fyin over EN-, till
the Corners shell see itself numbered
among the pints wich are to hev appro-
priashuns for improvements.
ReSOtUed, That the Corners is NV the
opinyun that to restore the feelin NV alb
sloot yoOnanimIty wich is so desirable,
and to bring the Corners into perfect
akkord with ther brethren NV the North,
the follerin appropriashens by the Gen
eral Government are necessary:

800 600 for q Custom House at the
Corners, in antissipashen NV the public
biznis wich will hev to be done here
when the other expenditoors hev bin
made.
ReSOtUed, That these appropriateness,
eff made at all, shood be made without
delay, afore the cold weather comes,
when the Corners will hev to Law in
pervishins and boots for the winter.
Resolved, That eff the General Gov
ernment, actooatid by sense NV iustis,
makes these sppropriashens, the Cor
ners will consider itself soothed, and
the gore now seriously impendin will
be averted.
ReSOlUed, That so long ez the Fedrel
Government is willing to support us,
we shell be willin to stay in peece.
There is other apprOpriashens wich
don't okkur to me now, but they will,
ez time rolls on. The Deelin wants
more apprOpriashens, now, but think

to be consiliated at all, hevin full con-
trole NV the Government, wich wood
be jist ez well ez tho we he'd succeeded
i'll the struggle for our rites in 1864.
Let Congris heed this call and soothe
us to wunst. The wants NV our trade
demand it, and our citizens demand it
likewise. We ask for it not only in the
interest NV consiliashun but TO revive
our shattered commerce.
