Hawkins was a relative of his, and reprieved him for a short time; and by means of the countersign and a Federal uniform, kindly furnished by a friend in the enemy's ranks, he escaped, obtained a horse, and struck out for Bowling Green, 175 miles distant. On the road he met with both friends and foes, was re-arrested twice, and finally got home with the assistance of Mr. Todd, a brother-in-law of Lincoln, and brother of the two gentlemen now in the Confederate service in Virginia--Mr. Burnam's brother is Adjutant of the 1st Kentucky regiment, at Fairfax Court-House. The Federals treated him very well while they had him; but they were the worst scared set of men he ever saw when the report of the advance movement of Confederates reached them; they never thought of making a stand, only of retreating. Yours, truly, Kentuckian.
