McClasshan -imprisoned at Louisville as guerrillas and bushwhack- ers-are taken under . strong guard to Franklin, Simpson co., to be executed ; in retaliation, it is said, for some Union citi- zens shot by guerrillas. After reaching there, an order comes to send Cave back, but at 6 p.

" All officers having negro women in their employment will deliver them up to the patrol to be brought to these headquarters. Any one attempting to evade this order will be arrested and punished."

are repulsed with loss of 3 killed and 5 wounded.

Aug. 26-The 1st Ky. Federal cavalry, formerly commanded by Col. Frank Wol- ford, now by Col. Silas Adams, arrives in Lexington (for service in Ky.) from the severe battles in Georgia. It still num- bers 618 men, with some 200 in Confed- erate prisons, although much depleted by remarkably hard, constant, and gallant service.

Aug. 29, 30, 31-At the Democratic na- tional convention at Chicago, spirited let- ters are read from two Ky. delegates to the convention, prevented from attending because arrested and confined as political prisoners at Louisville-John W. Leath- ers, from the Covington district, and Dr. Jos. R. Buchanan, from the state at large ......... The 1st ballot for nominee for vice president stood : James Guthrie, of Ky., 6512 ; Lazarus W. Powell, of Ky., 3212 ; Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, 5512 ; scattering, 7212. On the 2d ballot, Mr. Pendleton was nominated unanimously.

Ex. Gov. Chas. A. Wickliffe, of Ky., said, in a speech : "Many of the best and most loyal citizens of Ky .- among them 20 or 30 ladies-are now imprisoned by the military in Louisville, in damp and dirty cells, with only straw to lie upon, and the coarsest fare ; and the news- papers of Louisville are forbidden to make the slightest allusion to this terrible state of affairs. I proclaim it here and now- at the risk of my liberty, perhaps of my life."

[Dr. E. O. Brown, surgeon in charge, subsequently denied that the female pris- oners are confined in "damp, dark, and filthy cells," but says their prison is " a good dwelling house, well ventilated and dry, and as comfortable as could be ex- pected under the circumstances."]

Sept. 4-Frank M. Holmes, of Clover- port, and three others, shot at Branden- burg, Meade co .- in retaliation for the rc- ported killing by guerrillas of Mr. Henry, near that place, Aug. 28.

Sept. 4-Gen. John H. Morgan is be- trayed, then surprised and surrounded at Greenville, East Tennessee, by Federal cavalry under Gen. Alvin C. Gillem-one of whom killed him as he was trying to escape, or after his surrender. Gen. Duke [Hist. Morgan's Brigade, p. 539], says : " His friends have always believed that he was murdered after his surrender ; his slayers broke down the paling around the garden in which they killed him, dragged him through, and while he was tossing his arms in his dying agonics, threw him across a mule, and paraded his body about the town-shouting and screaming in sav- age exultation." Thus he met his death at the hands of brutes and ruffians ; "it was notorious that his death, if again cap- tured, had been sworn." The body was dragged from the mule and thrown into a muddy ditch; where Gen. Gillem said "it should lie and rot like a dog;" but he after- wards sent it to the Confederate lines under a flag of truce. It was buried first at Ab- ingdon, Va., then removed to the cemetery at Richmond, Va., and in the spring of 1872 to the cemetery at Lexington, Ky., his home until he resigned it for the cause of the South to which he gave his great energies and his life.

Sept. 5-Gov. Bramlette issues his proc- lamation calling upon the county courts- the county judges and justices-to "refuse obedience to (or else immediately resign, and let their places be filled by those who will refuse obedience to) order No. 20, issued Aug. 29th by Brig. Gen. Hugh Ewing, requiring the county courts to levy upon the tax-payers a sum sufficient to arm, mount and pay 50 men, to be raised in each county, and maintained until further orders. He denounces Gen. Ewing's order as "for unlawful and op- pressive uses," and as " violating the laws of the land, the duties of the officer, and the rights of the citizen ;" warns the courts against making such levy of taxes, and forbids them to do it. [President Lincoln afterwards revokes Gen. Ewing's order.]

Sept. 5-Slight skirmish ncar Lagrange, Oldham co., between Col. Jessee's Confed- erate rangers and Lieut. Col. Wm. B. Craddock's 30th Ky. mounted infantry ; former retreat, loss 7 taken prisoners.

three weeks from daylight till dark ; it re- quired two days to hear them, and then only by skipping them about so as to test the correctness of their memorizing. Three other girls, in four weeks, memo- rized 1,063, 1,280, and 604 verses, respect- ively.

Sept. 8-Brig. Gen. S. Meredith suc- ceeds Brig. Gen. E. A. Paine in command at Paducah-the latter being removed.

Sept. 9-Upon positive representations made to him by Lieut. Col. Jesse J. Crad- dock, Ist regiment Capital Guards, Brevet Maj. Gen. Burbridge details Brig. Gen. Speed Smith Fry and Col. John Mason Brown as a commission to proceed to Padu- cah, and investigate the conduct of Gen. Eleazer A. Paine, recently in command of the western district of Kentucky. Gen. Paine and his subordinates fled to Illinois, not daring to be present at the investiga- tion. [Gov. Bramlette had previously, Sept. 2, requested of President Lincoln the appointment of a military commission, " composed of good, brave, just, and fear- less men," to inquire into the conduct of "Gen. Paine, and his confederates Hon. Lucien Anderson, member of Congress, and John F. Bollinger, for unjustly op- pressing, and most iniquitously extorting money and property from citizens for their own private gain."] The commis- sion reported that Paine's " violence of manner terrified some of the best citizens into leaving their homes ;" "he continu- ally uttered sanguinary and brutal threats, and the execution of some guerrillas (or persons charged with that crime) gave such color to his threats as to alarm the entire country ;" "his usage of gentle- men was harsh and brutal in the extreme ;" " curses were heaped upon all who ap- proached him ; " "a favorite expression, and frequently made use of-totvards the most elegant ladies, as well as towards gentlemen-was, ' You are a God- damned scoundrel ; God damn you, I' Il dig a hole, and shoot and put you in it ;" "citizens against whom not an earthly charge could be made, were summarily arrested and thrust into the guard-house ;" he scized a man named Dougherty and ordered him to execution, after he had been tried and acquitted by a court martial - his life being saved only by Paine himself being hurled from power. The number of per- sons who had suffered death at his hands could not be ascertained ; some stated it as high as 43, and showed the graves to prove it; others only " knew" of 5; at Mayfield, Col. McChesney, 134th Illinois, executed 7 men ; 4 citizens (Kesterton, Taylor, Mathey and Hess) were executed without a shadow of a trial.

Sept. 6-During the last 8 weeks, two young girls in Mrs. Dolly Seeley's Sunday school class, in the Mt. Vernon Baptist church in Fayette co., have been commit- The commission furnish sworn testi- mony, upon which they charge that Lu- cien Anderson, John F. Bollinger, R. H. Hall, provost marshal of Ist congresional district, and Maj. Henry Bartling, of a negro regiment, 8th U. S. colored heavy ting to memory nearly the whole Bible, in contending for a prize. Miss Mary Stout memorized 157, 251, 233, 709, 1811, 4,000, and 12,000 verses-19,161 in all; and Miss Maria Wordrober 166, 171, 234. 887, 1,694, 4,000, 6,000, 12,000 verses-25,152 | artillery, arc guilty of corruption, bribery,

and malfeasance in office ; Thos. M. Redd, [ Of aiding the enemies of the country by surveyor of the port of Paducah, guilty of illegal fees, and one of the principal agente in the entire catalogue of assess- ments, extortions, and oppressions ; Col. H. W. Barry, of same negro regiment, guilty of extorting $150 in gold from a bank to pay his prostitute ; Col. McChes- ney, 134th Illinois, guilty at Mayfield of the most disgraceful extortion and oppres- sion-especially of forcing cripples, sick and infirm old men, to do hard mannal labor on useless intrenchments, unless they purchased immunity by paying from $5 to as high as $400. [Gen. Meredith turned 51 prisoners loose at Mayfield, and emptied the guard-house at Paducah.]

[For a full resume of the oppression and tyranny-by trade orders, charging Fed- eral soldiers from 10 to 50 cents for each letter to their families, extortionate tariff on cotton and tobacco, assessments on Union men as well as rebel sympathizers, banishment of citizens and confiscation of their property, impressment of citizens, imprisonments and abuse in all forms-see Report of the commission, accompanying Gov. Bramlette's message, in Senate and House Journal, 1865.]

Sept. 10-Death, at Mobile, Ala., of Wm. Tanner, formerly editor of the Frankfort Patriot in 1826, Harrodsburg Central Watchtower in 1829, Maysville Monitor in 1833-37, Frankfort Yeoman in 1843-52, and other Ky. newspapers.

Sept. 10-22 guerrillas visit Henderson, and help themselves to any property they fancy-the citizens having been disarmed by the Federal officers and soldiers, and then abandoned by them.

Sept. 12-Gold in New York 219.

Sept. 12-U. S. marshal for Ky. levies upon the property and credits at Louis- ville, of J. C. Johnston, Robert Ford, and others, for confiscation ; they are in the Confederate army.

Sept. 13-Danville Tribune appears only on a half-sheet, the " board of trade " at Lexington returning its application for a permit for " positive evidence of loyalty."

Sept. 14-Gen. Burbridge issues an or- der saying " he is pained to hear that in various portions of his command, squads of Federal soldiers and companies of men styling themselves ' State Guards,' ' Home Guards,' 'Independent Companies;' &c., are roving over the country, committing outrages on peaceable citizens, seizing without authority their horses and other property, insulting and otherwise mal . treating them ...... That any onc armed in the cause of Union and law, should en- gage in robbing and plundering defence- less citizens, is humiliating in the ex- treme." He gives severe instructions to- wards putting down such lawlessness.

Sept. 15-Col. Frank Wolford-having given his parole to President Lincoln in person, at Washington city, July 7, to repair to Louisville, and to await an im- mediate trial upon the charges furnished by Judge advocate John A. Foster, "1.

the public expression of disloyal senti- ments ; and 2. Of discouraging, denoun- cing, and opposing the enlistment of col- ored troops "-on the 12th Sept. respect- fully notifies the President that he will wait a few days longer ; and then, if trial not arranged for, will leave Louisville for Camp Dick Robinson, in Garrard co., to make a speech in favor of Gen. McClellan for the presidency. July 30, he had posi- tively refused a parole sent him by Presi- dent Lincoln-which required him "to pledge his honor that he would neither do or say anything which will directly or in- directly tend to hinder, delay or embarrass the employment or use of colored persons as soldiers, seamen, or otherwise, in the suppression of the existing rebellion, so long as the U. S. government chooses to so employ or use them ;" saying to the Pres- ident by letter, " I cannot bargain for my liberty and the exercise of my rights as a freeman on any such terms. I have com- mitted no crime. I have broken no law of my country or state. I have not vio- lated any military order, or any of the usages of war ......... No, sir, much as I love liberty, I will fester in a prison, or die on a gibbet, before I will agree to any terms that do not abandon all charges against me, and fully acknowledge my in- nocence." Aug. 10, the Judge advocate had countermanded an order for him to go to Washington for trial. Sept. 15, Col. Wolford published a history of the whole controversy-in which his defense forms one of the most brilliant, spirited, and triumphant passages in the state trials of the world.

Sept. 15-Col. Basil W. Duke, promoted to brigadier general, and assigned to the command of Gen. John H. Morgan's cav- alry. [It now appears that the order had been issued which relieved Gen. Morgan of the command of the department of south-western Virginia, and he was to be court-martialed for coming into Ky. last May without orders of Gen. Bragg. But the Richmond Examiner proclaims it boldly, that " Morgan's invasion of Ky. was the only thing that could then save that part of Virginia from ravage by Gen. Burbridge and his 6,000 raiders."]

Sept. 19-Draft in many counties, to make up Kentucky's quota of the call for 500,000 troops. Many drafted men dis- appear, and join either the Confederate army or guerrilla bands; others fly to Canada ; others furnish negro or white substitutes ; comparatively few report for duty.

Sept. 19-Gen. Burbridge, without in- structions from the President, as he ac- knowledged, orders Col. Frank Wolford " to at once return to Louisville, and re- main until officially relieved from the parole given him by the President ;" which Wolford obeyed. 28th-Wolford, hearing nothing further from either Bur- bridge or the President, publishes the cor- respondence.

Sept. 19-Speech of Gov. Thos. E. Bramlette at the " Mcclellan ratification" meeting at Frankfort, in which he de- fends himself and other Union men of Ky. from charges made in a speech, Sept. 12, at Lexington, by Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, D. D .; he speaks of Dr. B. as "the reverend politician who has been aptly characterized as 'a weathercock in politics and an Ishmaelite in religion.' "

Sept. 21-Gen. Burbridge issues an or- der sending to Memphis, to be forwarded through the lines into the South, Mrs. Marshall, of Lexington, Squire Turner, jr., Miles Baxter, jr., and Thomas J. Bronson.

Sept. 21-Gen. Sherman, in reply to a letter of Gen. John B. Hood, command- ing Confederate forces, asking him to treat as a prisoner of war a Confederate soldier named W. C. Glover-who, while employed as a scout, was captured and condemned to be executed at Chattanooga as a spy-says, " I assure you that no one can be executed by us without a full and fair record trial by a sworn tribunal, at which the prisoner is allowed to have his witnesses and counsel. Also, by act of Con- gress Dec. 21, 1861, in case of the sen- tence of death, the case must be reviewed, and the necessary order be given by the officer commanding the army in the field or the department to which the division be- longs. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas is the de- partment commander, and you must know that he would never order the execution of an innocent man !" [Can this be the same Gen. Sherman who, it is pretended, or claimed, gave general authority and com- mand for the frequent recent military murders in Ky. under the plea of retalia- tion, "four for one," and without even the form or mockery of a trial ?]

Sept. 22-Death of Thos. F. Marshall, in Woodford co., aged 63 ; his disease was of the heart and lungs.

Sept. 24-Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckin- ridge, in a recent public speech at Lex- ington, said : " As to these [illegal ar- rests], all the fault I have to find is, that more should not have been arrested than were; and many of those that were ar- rested, were set at liberty too soon .. .. When Simon de Montfort was slaughter- ing the Protestants in the south of France, he was appealed to by certain persons- declaring that his men were mistaken, that they were killing many who were good Catholics. To which he replied : " Kill them all; God knows his own." And this is the way we should deal with these fellows ; treat them all alike; and if there are any among them who are not rebels at heart, God will take care of them and save them at least."

Sept. 26-Gold in New York fallen to 189; and cotton to $1:15 for middling- a decline of 70 cents from its highest point.

Sept. 29-Gold in New York 19014.

Oct. 1-Fall of snow, two inches deep, in western Ky., opposite Cairo.

Oct. 2-Battle of Saltville, Washington co., Virginia, between 4,000 Federal troops (only 2,500 actually engaged) under Gen. S. G. Burbridge, and 2,000 Confed- erates under Brig. Gen. John S. Williams, of Ky., (including a small brigade of Ken- tuckians commanded by Col. Wm. C. P. Breckinridge.) In the Federal forces, besides Michigan and some negro troops, were included Col. Milton Graham's 11th Ky. cavalry, Col. Jas. W. Weatherford's 13th Ky. cavalry, and the following Ky. mounted infantry regiments : Col. Cicero Maxwell's 26th, Col. Francis N. Alexan- der's 30th, Col. Edmund A. Starling's 35th, Col. Chas. S. Hanson's 37th, Col. David A. Mims' 39th, Col. Clinton J. True's 40th, Lieut. Col. Lewis M. Clark's 45th, and Maj. Chas. W. Quiggins' Sandy Valley battalion of Ist Capital Guards. The fighting was handsome and at times desperate on both sides. During the night succeeding, Confederate reinforcements were coming up, and they prepared to renew the engagement vigorously at early dawn; but Gen. Burbridge had begun to retreat soon after dark, in good order-ac- knowledging a loss, in killed, wounded and missing, of 350 ; among the killed, Col. Mason, of a Michigan regiment, and among the dangerously wounded and aban- doned to the enemy, the gallant Col. Chas. S. Hanson. Oct. 3, Burbridge received an order from Gen. Sherman to return to Ky. The Confederates followed him for several days, harassing his rear guard ; but the exhausted state of the country compelled them to desist; their loss in battle not known; they claim a decisive victory.

The entire advance of Burbridge's troops from Pound Gap had been a suc- cession of skirmishes-every mile being gallantly contested by Col. Giltner's cav- alry (late part of Gen. John H. Morgan's brigade) ; those at Clinch mountain and Laurel Gap partaking of the nature of battles.

Oct. 3-Maj. Gen. Geo. H. Thomas tele- graphs to Gen. Sherman, from Nashville, that " two Ohio and three Kentucky regi- ments of the re-enforcements have ar- rived.". [And this, in striking contrast with all the harshness and bad faith shown to Ky. by the general government !]

Oct. 6-Rev. Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge thrown from his horse, and so much in- jured as, for two weeks, to prevent him from meeting his engagements to speak to the people.

Oct. 7-Difficulty at Versailles between the citizens and a command of negro sol- diers stationed there ; several shots fired, but no blood shed ; negro soldiers stationed at every street-corner, with orders to dis- perse all gatherings on the street of more than two citizens.

Oct. 10-Guerrillas make a raid on South Tunnel, defended by negro soldiers ; 5 negroes killed and several wounded ; loss of the former not known.

Oct. 11-Train on Kentucky Cent'I R.R., at Lowe's station, 11 miles N. of Lexington,

fired into by guerrillas, and several killed | it supports Gen. Mcclellan for the presi- and wounded. They expected to capture dency. Gen. Burbridge, but he was not on the train-very greatly to their disappoint- ment.

Oct. 13-40 guerrillas burn the jail at Irvine, Estill co., after releasing 4 pris- oners, and then plunder the town.

Oct. 13-Brandenburg, Meade co., plun- dered by 22 guerrillas.

Oct.13-Guerrillas plunder Bethel, Bath co., and whip the county judge with a strap-most wanton and outrageous bru- tality !

Oct. 13-Maysville Bulletin issued to- day, and for several Nos., on small tea wrapping paper, 12 by 16 inches-being refused, by the " board of trade," a per- mit to purchase regular white paper. Sin- gularly enough, to-day's issue contains an account of the defeat at Saltville, Va., of Gen. Burbridge-the very officer whose trade-regulating order had been so much more successful in stopping the meat and bread and business of "Southern sympa- thizers " in Ky., and of Ky. Union men, than were his military orders and bravery in stopping the salt-rations of Southern soldiers, by destroying the salt works at Saltville.

Oct. 15-Capt. McCarroll's guerrillas attack Hardinsburg, Breckinridge co., but are driven off by citizens-after losing McCarroll killed and 3 wounded.

Oct. 16-Explosion of steamer J. C. Irwin, at Eddyville, Lyon co., killing 8 persons, and wounding more.

Oct. 17-Long proclamation from Gov. Bramlette, explaining who are not entitled to vote, how to preserve the elective fran- chise and have a free election, and depre- cating any military interference as "with- out power or authority in the federal or state governments to authorize it, a wan- ton violation of law, and placing the per- petrators in rebellious contumacy to the government."

Oct. 17-Gold in New York 217.

Oct. 17-Capt. W. H. Harrison, acting Major, of Gen. Forrest's command, ad- dresses a note dated "Headquarters Confederate States Army, Department of Kentucky," to Major. Gen. Burbridge. He says : "I have heard with pain and regret that you have thought proper to have two Confederate soldiers shot, for depredations committed by bands of guer- rillas-who prowl through the state, dep- redating alike upon friend or foe ... ..... .İf Confederate soldiers are hercafter shot for acts of guerrillas and thieves, retaliation will be visited six-fold upon any Federal soldiers who may be taken prisoners by this command .. ... I indulge the hope that it will not be necessary for this com- mand to adopt the retaliatory measures your cruelty and inhumanity suggests."

Oct. 19-Lexington Observer, always a consistent Union paper, is refused a per- mit to purchase paper, and thereby com- pelled to cease publication-because its loyalty is not of the extreme radical cast ;

Oct. 19-Encounter at Mudlick Springs, Bath co., between a portion of the 1st Ky. Federal cavalry under Capt. Samuel Bel- den, and 250 Confederates under Col. Geo. M. Jessee ; several killed and wounded, on each side.
