iam Keen, a highly respectable citizen of Cumberland County, Ky., is an honored member of the Methodist Church. The Rev. T. J. Moore, of Franklin, Simpson County, a well-known Methodist preacher, was a chaplain in Morgan's band. It is difficult to understand what Morgan's band wanted of a chaplain, but very easy to understand that, if they did want one, Moore was exactly their man. Thus Keen and Moore belong to the same church. Morgan's band, upon the occasion of their late advent into Kentucky, took possession of Keen's house, south of Cumberland River. Before retiring at night, Keen, courteously and in a Christian-like manner, asked Moore to pray. Moore consented, and offered up a fervent prayer, Keen occasionally responding Amen. Near the close of the prayer, the rebel parson prayed for the success of the rebel cause, and, in a loud voice, asked God that, if necessary to the success of the rebellion, he would strike dead every man, woman, and child in the United States.

Negro recruiting in Kentucky.--Going to try soldiering, are you? I inquired of an intelligent contraband whom I met in the road, hurrying on to the rendezvous. Yes, boss, I thought I'd go ‘long with the rest of the boys. Why did you leave k off for the rendezvous, expressing a determination to see it through. I asked another recruit if all the negroes in Kentucky were going soldiering. Pretty much all of 'em that are able, sah, was the reply. There ain't none left in our neighbor People who don't own slaves, and are subject to the draft, appear to be delighted with the movement. No more draft in Kentucky! is the gratified exclamation with which they accompany the rubbing of their hands. Slave owners are generally sullen, on the old farm. I'd a sight rather a nigger would be killed than me, any how, and I wouldn't care if every nigger in. Kentucky, male and female, would go. And he gave a gratified snort of self-approval, a look out of the stage window at a passing

Rebel terms of peace.--Save on our terms, we can accept no peace whatever, and must fight till doomsday rather than yield an iota of them; and our terms are: Recognition by the enemy of the independence of the confederate States. Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from every foot of confederate ground, including Kentucky and Missouri. Withdrawal of the Yankee soldiers from Maryland, until that State shall decide, by a free vote, whether she shall remain in the old Union or ask admission into the Confederacy. Consent on the part of the Federal Government to give up to the Confederacy its proportion of the navy as it stood at the time of secession, or to pay for the same. Yielding up of all pretensions on the part of the Federal Government to that portion of the old territories which lies west of the confederate States. An equitable settlement, on the basis of our absolute independence and equal rights, of all accounts of the public debt and public lands, and the advanta

n and sister Ruby both said I shouldn't go; But, I ax'd 'em both, and Susan, to think of me in dreams, For, I'se bound to go to Richmun, old Richmun. on the Jeems! You know, through tribulation, we marched on, night and day, Through woods, and mud, and dusty roads, and fighting in the fray; By smoke-houses and chicken coops, and where the biler steems, Which cooked our hard-earned rations tow'rd Richmun on the Jeems. And, now we're going homeward — me and the other scamp, Yet, far from old Kentucky, we are obleeged to tramp; And him who's out of postage stamps, there's nobody esteems, E'en though he's been in Richmun, and seed the river Jeems! To hell with old Phiginny, and all her sacred sile! She's made a heap of trouble, and kept it up a while; And if she's helped herself right much, 'tis like to them sunbeams The niggers squeeze from cucumbers, in Richmun on the Jeems! --And then his boon companion convulsively turned o'er, And, grunting an affirmative, straightway began to snore,
