A call to Kentuckians. by A Southern rights woman. Sons of Kentucky, arise from your dreaming! Awake, and to arms!
for the foe draweth nigh; Must ye wait till our land with their legions are teeming, Ere ye rise in your might to battle or die? Oh, list to the wail from Missouri's heart coming, As trampled and bleeding she shrinks from the foe; Oh, such is our fate if thus ye lie sleeping; Then wake from your slumbers, and shield us from woe. The spirits of those who in battle have fallen, Are weeping in shame at your cowardly fear; The watchword of fiends hath already been given To crush and destroy all your loved ones so dear. Has the day gone fore'er, when 'twere nobler to be A son of Kentucky than diadems wear? Be ye cowards and slaves?
Are ye no longer free, That thus with your traitorous tyrants ye bear! Then rise in your might, and repel each invader, Nor let our loved land be disgraced by their tread; Let the watchword be, “Freedom and States' Ri

Southern war-song. by N. P. W. To horse!
to horse!
our standard flies, The bugles sound the call; An alien navy stems our seas-- The voice of battle's on the breeze; Arouse ye, one and all! From beauteous Southern homes we come, A band of brothers true, Resolved to fight for liberty, And live or perish with our flag-- The noble red and blue. Though tamely crouch to Northern frown, Kentucky's tardy train; Though invaded soil, Maryland mourns, Though brave Missouri vainly spurns, And foaming gnaws the chain. Oh!
had they marked the avenging call Their brethren's insults gave, Disunion ne'er their ranks had mown, Nor patriot valor, desperate grown, Sought freedom in the grave. Shall we, too, bend the stubborn head, In Freedom's temple born?-- Dress our pale cheek in timid smiles, To hail a master in our house, Or brook a victor's scorn? No!
though destruction o'er the land Come pouring as a flood; The sun that sees our falling day, Shall mark our sabre's deadly sway, And set tha

The secessionists in Kentucky, who have formed themselves into a regiment, are described as a savage set, who delight to keep every one in terror around them, and consider it a pleasure to chop up a man with an Arkansas tooth-pick.
The wife of one of them, who is also a vivandierc, is a thorough soldier, and acts as lieutenant to a company which she drills herself.
She is very handsome, and dresses in gay style, and the men all take pride in their dashing heroine, who expressed herself anxious to split a Yankee with her bowie-knife.--Albany Standard, Aug. 1.

Disguised as A bell-Wether.--The Louisville Journal gives the following account of a noted character:
Among the Tennesseeans now in camp in Kentucky is a little fellow of about five feet four inches, with gray and grizzled beard, dilapidated nose, and an eye as keen as a fish-hawk's. The manner of his escape was remarkable and highly ingenious.
He headed a large squad of his neighbors, and eluded the rebel pickets by wearing a big sheep's bell on his head, and bleating away over the mountains, followed by a herd of men who did likewise.
By this stratagem he deceived the rebel scouts, and passed within a few feet of them through one of the most important mountain passes.
Old Macfarland (for that is the name of the hero of the bell) thus won the sobriquet of the bell-wether, by which name he passes all through the camps.
He is a rough and good-humored old man, with a full supply of mother wit, and speaks of himself as under size and over age for a soldier, which he literall

Hundreds of those exceedingly sensitive Kentuckians who so eloquently proclaimed that they could never take up arms against the Southern States, inasmuch as those States were Kentucky's sisters, have now taken up arms for the conquest of Kentucky herself.
Isn't that enough to make the Devil laugh?--Louisville Journal, Oct. 12.

The Clergy of rebellion.--A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, writing from Marion, Ala., says: Rev. H. A. M. Henderson, late of Kentucky, is now canvassing this portion of the State, raising a regiment.
He is a Methodist clergyman, and was driven from Kentucky because he would not take upon him the Lincoln yoke.
It argues well for the Southern confederacy to see the clergy flying to arms.
It is stated here that one-half of the Baptist ministers of this State are in the army, so that from Marion, Ala., says: Rev. H. A. M. Henderson, late of Kentucky, is now canvassing this portion of the State, raising a regiment.
