Mrs. Lincoln's Connexions in the Southern Army.
--The
Frankfort correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
‘
The
Hardin Relm who is reported to be moving down
Green river with a force of from two to four thousand rebels, is a son of
ex Gov. John L. Helm, lately
President of the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
This
Helm's wife is a half-sister of
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln,
Mrs. Lincoln has a full brother,
Dr. R. C. Todd, at
Richmond, who had the honor of being jailor to old Abe's soldiers captured at
Bull Run.
Mrs. Lincoln has also a brother,
Samuel Todd, who is a lieutenant in the rebel army in
Virginia.
She has also a half brother,
Alexander, who is now in the
South also hunting for his ‘"rights."’ Two half sisters of
Mrs. Lincoln are married to Southern gentlemen, also secessionist.
The younger part of the family, until within a year past, resided on their farm five miles from this place.
