urn to drag us in chains at the feet of a relentless despotism, which is already pressing heavily upon themselves. When in the hour of our country's peril the extreme North slunk away from the raging contest, thousands of Kentuckians poured into the frozen North to fight on British soil the battles of New England. In return she sends us her hosts of fanatics to despoil us of our homes and of our liberties, and through William H. Seward she invites the outcasts of all nations to join in the carnival of blood. Let us once more fling to the breeze the proud standard of Kentucky. In every valley and on every hill-top let its folds be kissed by the breezes of Heaven. Let our lone star shine, an emblem of hope, from the deep sky-blue of our banner, over the brothers who join in the grasp of friendship; and let the soldier's motto of our State bespeak, under the Providence of God, the strength of the cause which He commits to our hands. S. B. Buckner. Russellville, Ky., Sept. 12, 1861.

ion of dependent vassals, we believe that the recognition of the civil rights of citizens is the foundation of constitutional liberty, and that the claim of the President of the United States to declare martial law, to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, and to convert every barrack and prison in the land into a bastile, is nothing but the claim which other tyrants have assumed to subjugate a free people. The Confederate States occupy Bowling Green as a defensive position. I renew the pledges of commanders of other columns of Confederate troops to retire from the territory of Kentucky on the same conditions which will govern their movements. I further give you my own assurance that the force under my command will be used as an aid to the Government of Kentucky in carrying out the strict neutrality desired by its people, whenever they undertake to enforce it against the two belligerents alike. S. B. Buckner, Brigadier-General C. S. A. Bowling-Green, Sept. 18, 1861.

is now almost well again. May he be spared to the army and the country. Yesterday we received positive intelligence that the rebels had burned Green River bridge. The account was so circumstantial that it seemed there could be no doubt that this long-meditated outrage had at last been perpetrated. But a man arrived this morning, who says he saw the bridge yesterday afternoon, and it was certainly standing then, if any faith is to be put in human vision. It does not seem credible that Buckner should destroy the bridge until the last moment, especially as he can command it with his heavy guns from the southern bluff. I am now able to give you a complete account of the skirmish which took place on Saturday between a detachment of the Thirty-ninth Indiana and a squadron of rebel cavalry. The scene of the fight was a log house by the roadside, two miles beyond Upton's, fourteen miles below this camp, and eight miles this side of the rebel camp. A squad of the rebels had come up

rses, wagons, &c., and about five hundred pounds of powder. Our boys, worn out and fatigued, gave up the chase, well satisfied with their light's work. After burying the dead and leaving the wounded well cared for by the citizens near the scene of action, they returned to camp with their captured property. The wounded are all doing well. Sergeant Taylor, who fell at the beginning of the action, was shot in the right leg, just above the knee. His wound, although very bad, fortunately is not fatal; he will be able to be out in a short time. Lieutenant Grayson's wound was but slight; he is on duty at this time. Sergeant Dunlap is on duty again. There were several of the Indiana boys slightly wounded, but none fatally. Perhaps you have heard of this affair before this by telegraph, but knowing more about it than any one else, I send you the full particulars, as near as I can recollect. The boys are anxious to meet General Buckner and the rest of his cowardly rebels. W. G. M.

ty of Rochester, but with what result we have not yet learned. Col. Burbridge, in his attack, had one man wounded, but lost none. We believe these particulars to be entirely reliable, and think that further reports will only confirm last Tuesday's work as a day of glorious achievements. The marching, as Col. Burbridge did, with about three hundred men from Owensboro to Woodbury, a distance of sixty or seventy miles, in two days--attacking and utterly routing a force of five hundred of the enemy within less than eighteen miles of Buckner's Headquarters at Bowling Green, where he is reported to have a very heavy force, destroying the entire camp and camp equipage, driving the enemy off with a loss of fifty or sixty in killed, an unknown number in wounded, and recrossing the river in safety, with only one of his own men wounded and none killed; and doing all this, too, with raw troops who had never smelled powder before, is one of the most brilliant exploits of the entire campaign.

ecord of Buena Vista. It will be seen from the official report of General Grant, that the object of the expedition was not for the attack of Columbus, but for the purpose of diverting the enemy from sending reinforcements to Thompson, Price, or Buckner, and I have further learned from Gen. McClernand, which is corroborated by prisoners taken at Belmont, that a large rebel force actually had their knapsacks packed to reinforce Buckner at Bowling Green, and make a forward movement against LouisvBuckner at Bowling Green, and make a forward movement against Louisville. To further show that the object of the expedition against Belmont was not intended for Columbus, I was shown a letter in Gen. Grant's quarters to-day from Assistant Adjutant-General McKeever directing him to move only against Belmont and avoid Columbus. Thus the movement intended and directed was a complete success and a triumph over the superior numerical forces of the enemy by destroying their camp and twice routing them, and driving them, with terrible slaughter, before our bayonets.

ny wept with vexation and despair. Their officers appealed earnestly to their patriotism, announcing to them that General Thomas had ordered them to countermarch in order to meet the rebels, who were reported moving toward Crab Orchard in strong force to cut them off, and that a retrograde movement was necessary to save the expedition. It was also stated by officers of various regiments, that Zollicoffer was reported marching up from Tennessee with a strong column, to form a junction with Buckner, to penetrate the Blue Grass country. Such were the facts and statements prior to the hour of marching. The subsequent facts will appear in the following diary: London, Ky., Wednesday, November 13. Long before eight o'clock P. M., most of the troops of the Wildcat Brigade, with three days rations in their haversacks, were prepared to march. The sick who could be removed — and there were many too feeble to walk, yet able to ride — were transferred to those wretched instruments of
