Letter from Kentucky.
Garretsburg, Ky., Aug. 13, 1861
To the Editors of the Dispatch.--Our cent election shows a large Southers gain in the State.
I think the enormous bill has produced a great many changes, but sincerely believe that a large majority of the people of the State are willing that their property should be sacrificed at public sale, in der to enable them to pay the tax; and I there is a large majority in the State who take up arms against the South if they forced to take sides in this unholy Christian county, a county bordering on Tennessee, has a regiment of eleven hundred armed by the Lincoln Government, a many of them natives of Virginia; those are not native-born Virginians acknowledge their ancestors to be. Yet those men say they are ready to aid the Government in during this ‘ "rebellion"’ (as they pronounce) in the seceded States, and some of them ture so far as to say that they would every man, woman and child slaughter the South, that the Laws and the Condition that the usurper Lincoln has so violated may be executed in every State, Value to California; and there are local in this county where Secessionists are no lowed to express their sentiments; but I that the day is not far distant when every man may see the errors that they had been committing, and awake to a tree their duty, and rally around the banner of South.
While it is with deep regret give you the feelings of a majority of the ple of Kentucky, I am happy to inform that there are a great many, although minority, who are ready to rally around banner; and it is my sincere prayer may waive victoriously in every conflict did on the memorable 21st of July Manassas.
