What llic llcbcls Propose.

[l'rum the Richmond Examiner, Sept. 25.]

The natural bounderyof the Confederate Slates on the north is along the Missouri River to tho Mississippi thence along the Mississippi to the mouth of the Ohio thence along the Ohio to the Virginia line, thence along the Virginia and the .Northern Maryland to the Atlantic. The Ohio line is the most important portion ofthisfrontier. The battle of Manassas settled tho question of the independence of the South in the public opinion of the world. All the rest of the lighting that has occurred or that will havetobe done, will be it mere contest-for boundaries. The boundery is the real issue in Missouri that is the issue also in Kentucky it is the issue in NorthWest Virginia, and it will soon be the issue in Maryland,

Jt is a noteworthy'" fact that all the country for w.hich further hostilities will be conducted by the South, has become disputed ground by the action of its own inhabitants, in Missouri the people were divided, a large portion of them espousing the cause of the Lincoln government. In .Kentucky the case was the same,the counsels and aid of the gallant sons of that State were lost to the South by the treachery of its demagogues and its Dutch. In' Western JVi''^'11111 the Hessian politicians and llessian men did the same, bad work. In Maryland the treason oft he II iekse* an tPthe Hessians brought in upon Southern soil the invader and the despot. In Eastern Virginia, where IIickses and Hessians unfortunately had, tor a time, lull sway, the important Fortress of Monroe, which would now be worth a million a day to us. was surrendered to the ankces.

Southern independence is already achieved but the war cannot be closed until we shall have reconqured the Southern territory which was basely surrendered to the invaders by Southern traitors. I'ntil we shall have planted our banner along the natural confines of our country the war must go on. Had this territory not been basely relinquished the war would have already been ended. All of the life, and treasure, and sickness and suffering, which it shall henceforth cost our country, will be upon the souls of the base men who betrayed their native oilj their homes and hearthstones, to the invader.

It is idle to think of peace until we .shall have reconquered the surrendered country lying south of the boundery we havedeiined. Geographically,pol1 itic-ally, and stragetically, Kentucky is a part of the South, wnich she cannot afford to surrender to Northern control and jurisdiction. We cannot afford to have immaginary boundary lines with the Yankees. The line of Kentucky is too intangible to mark the separation between North and South. Without a bold natural line of separation lilce the great Ohio River, the border population of the South would be as completely demoralized through all future time, as experience has proved it to have been during the events of the last five months.

The. social systems and the domestic institutions of the two Confederacies are too dissimilar and antagonistic to he divided by a merely mathematical line. While the two populations were associated under one political l.'nion, even then we had enough of the Underground Railroad. We must establish'' our separation by such distinct landmarks that the institution will have no further existence on this continent.

The geographical confirmation of the country is such that a small portion of the boundery—that ofNorthern Maryland—must, of necessily, be merely astronomical but thifi portion must be iis inconsiderable as possible. It will be far better for both Confederacies, with view to prevent frauds upon their revenues, that their boundary will subserve the purpose of peacebetween them more effectually than large augmentations of their standing armies. To the security of the South, such a boundery is almost necessary. We can watch the enemy better standing upon tho banks of the Ohio than standing on this side of high mountain ranges. A\ should not know how to trust the Punic faith of a more than Carthagenian enemy, unless we were in possession to watch and foul them..

We have simply, therefore, to make up our minds to conquer a boundary by an adequite force of men. Our Generals in Missouri, in Kentucky, and in Western Virginia, should be furnished with arines ample in number to drive tho enemy across the Missouri and the Ohio rivers. The South has a great stake in accomplishing this expulsion during the present season. To allow the enemy to winter in our country is to lose the support of tlie whole population of the districts of country in which ho makes his Winter quarters. In that event we should next season have not only the enemy to drive out. but the local population itself to conquer.

Our true policy of defense lies in a vigorous push for the banks of the Oli io. We can afford to suffer raids 011 the. Southern seaboard, if wo can snccced in reaching, with a large force, tho enemy's own thrcshholds and homesteads in Ohio and Pensylvania. Then, if ho lands and ravages our coasts, wc will invade, pillage, and burn his villiages in retaliation. Until we shall have reconquered the

Tlie XJnion, in any event.

Southern Territory that has been surrendered to him, and planted ourselves right upon the border of his own country, we shail not be safe from his raids upon our Southern coast. It would require an army of a million of men to line our coasts in such a manner as to protect them from their naval excursions. On the contrary 50,000 or 75,000 men penetraiting to the banks oftheOhioat a few different points will effectually secure our coast from aggression by giving him aht.'m I and employment, at home, and by putting it in our power to retaliate upon him with a vengance. Twenty thousand additional troops ought to be forthI with sent into Western Virginia, and every available, regiment and company in Tennessee and Arkansas ought to I be precipitated into Kentucky and I Missouri. We have trifled away two thirds of the present season of campaign, let us make up, bv earnest work, in the other third for the indolence of the past.

Removal of Fremont. The Cincinnati Gazette of yesterday announces the removal of Fremont.— It says: "when the Secretary of War went to St. Louis, he carried an order from the President to General Fremont. reniovinghim from the command of the Western Department, and instructing him to transfer it to General Hunter. The delivery of the ordei was left to the Secretary of War. His visit to the Western Department convinced him that a change in the command

Wiis

imparatively required, and

he presented the order to General Fremont., who asked for a delay of a few days in the execution of the order, which was granted but his removal has been decided upon to take place next week, and will probably take place next Tuesday."

This removal hits boeii in some measure foreshadowed by recent events, and therefore, will not prove an entire surprise to the people of the west but however little or much we may be surprised, we apprehend "the removal will occasion 110 small degree of regret.— Without going into a discussion of General Fremont's ability as a military officer, or his manner of conducting the campaign—both of which subjects have been discussed to death it is safe to assert that according to all accounts tho "Pathfinder" had a strong hold upon the popular heart, and could call out volunteers in larger numbers than any other man. Tlie reasons for his removal have not transpired. All we know is that, it was "imparatively required." It is said that lie was needlessly extravegant—that he did not rt in force Lyon and Mulligan when Incould have dono so, etc., ito. The rtplv is, that this is not proved,and these accusions are at present, so far as we know, nothing more nor less than the revengeful charges of disappointed contractors and politicians. Yet the President and the War Department may have satisfactory evidence th: it is not proper that, he should hold the position. If so, wc can not see the propriety of allowing him to continue in it for a "few days." His removal should be immediate, one would think, especially as he is on ihe eve of a great battle. There will undoubtedly be much dissatisfaction expressed at this action of President Lincoln, and we sincerely hope that it will not prove detrimental to the interests of the W estern Department—Laf.

DOING MAGOKKIN'S WORK FOR HTM.— Gov. Morton, of Indiana, and Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, have each published earnest appeals to the ladies of their States iji behalf of their volunteers.— Tho cold weather is approachingwhen warm clothing will be required to shield the soldiers during bleak wintry maivhcs, and the Governors of these patriotic States urge the ladies to contribute their handiwork in the way of woolen socks, drawers,_ and shirts to secure the comfort of the brave men who arc fighting their battles. Now, our Kentucky Governor takes but littleinterest in these matters and don seem to care whether our soldiers are provided for ornot, or, indeed, whether we have any soldiers or not to provide for. Wc shall therefore presume to act for him in this particular and call the attention of the ladies of Kentucky to the subject, with the hope that they will respond and kindly aid in furnishing tho gallant volunteers of ourproud old State with the comforts for a cam-

Characteristic speech by General Lane.

HIS IIHMS OF Tin: WAR.

Exploits of the Kansas ISrigarie.

Gen. Jim Lane has many strong friends, and many bitter enemies also, in Kansas. Some of the hitter have been making severe but contradictory charges against the General's Kansas Brigade, accusing it now of inefficiency, and again of ferocity and lawlessness. In a speech at Leavenworth 011 the 8th, which we find reported in the Conservative of that city, the General gives his tnaligners some very plain answers. We make a few extracts:

THE nun 1 AUK NOT INEFFICIENT. Two months ago the Kansas Brigade was organized. I was put at the head of it., with the respect, aye, the love of every man in that command. Every day since it entered the field, it has been actively engaged for tho protection of Kansas and the Government.— It. has not been whipped—it has not surrendered. Why is it thsit then creatures at the Fort sneer at it? They abuse the Kansas Brigade because it has not surrendered to the enemy.— They sneer at the Kansas Brigade because we have never engaged the enemy without whipping them like the devil.

Go to Nevada, where fifty-six of the Kansas brigade met and defeated two hundred rebels. Go to Ball's Mill, where 130 Kansas brigade whipped 350 traitors. Go to Dry Wood, where 400 men under -Montgomery, for two hours fought 7,000 of the enemy, and drove them back from your soil. Go to Papinsville, where 200 of our men conquered 1,H00 rebels, killed five of their captains, and drove them back to their den. Go to Morristown, the death-bed of our gallant Johnson, where -100 of the Kansas brigade drove COO traitors from their entrenchments. Go to Osceola, one of the strongest natural points in Southern Missouri, where, after 80 miles march through the enemy'.1!' country, we met a greatly superior force, beat it, and took and destroyed more than a million dollars' worth of property. Go to these fields and tell me why the Kansas brigade is sneered at. Our sin is, that we have never been whipped.

TIIEIJ RIGADE NOT JAYIIAWKEUS.

Confiscated property goes to the Government, and this rule has been adopted by niy Brigade. If we are jayhawkers, we are jayhawking for the Government.

Now if—oh the dirty puppy—if that creature Prince, or that still dirtier creature, Robinson, can find an instance of a violation of this rule in my command., the guilty man shall be hung.

But they say we steal slaves—great God Lieut. Col. Blunt of Montgomery's regiment, has just returned from the interior of Missouri, and they tell me he comes back with more slaves than while men. [-Good," "Good."' and cheers.] Secessionists get no slaves from the Kansas brigade. When a Union man comes to my camp to recover slaves. I tell hi in to look upon the camp -as naked ground. "Resort to the same measures that you would if I were not here. If he fails to recover his slaves, we give him a certificate—as a voucher to the Government that such a man has lost such a slave by the march of the Kansas brigade.— Slavery disappears before my brigade. [Applause,] 1 guess that's true. [Renewed applause.] But it disappears 011 the principle I have laid down. I venture to say, that if I were to tell Montgomery, or Blunt, or St.'" wart, or Williams, or Bowles, "You shan't take those slaves," the reply would be— "Slaves are men, and you shan make me nigger-catcher for traitors." [G retit cheering.]

Is there a man here who would act as a slave-catcher for Price. I wonderif that dirty dog Prince would do it!— This is the sin—this is the charge made against "us. Wc march to crush out treason and let slavery take care of itself. If they don't want slavery to perish, let tliem lay down their arms, or do the other thing—keep Lane's Brigade, out of Missouri. [Rapturous applause.] In my opinion this war will never be successfully carried out so long as an army marches through slave States as a. boat goes through a flock of ducks. They fly upon its approach and nestle down as soon as it has passed. The boat is safe, and so are the ducks. When you march thro' a State, you must so march that traitors will feel the horrors of war. Take the Union man by the hand, but Jay waste the property of traitors. Why is so much sympathy shown for traitors, and none for Union men? Hundreds and hundreds of Union men have followed the Kansas Brigade to escape the clutches of traitors. Did you ever hear this puppy Prince say a word about Major Dean who was robbed and driven from his home by traitors? Not a word of sympathy for such men.— But let a slaveholder lose a nigger, and the very air resounds with cries for the return of the fugitive. ["Shame,'

1

"Shame."] Now I'll tell you what I want of you. We'll do your fighting. We'll try and not surrender.

WHAT TIIE BRIGADE HAS DONE. The Kansas brigade is to be dissolved because it built forts and organized I forces at Humboldt. Lerov, Verdigris.

Terms:

Neosho Falls, Walnut Creek, Fall liiver, Turkey Creek—seven forts on your frontier, where the people, instead of being stampeded and driven from the State, can rally for your defense.

Is itbecauscMatthcws invaded Humboldt? Four days before that raid I ordered a fort to be built there, but for some reason it was not done. But who followed Matthews and killed him?— My order book will show that I ordered Lieut. Col. Blunt to pursue Mathews to Arkansas, and he did pursue him till he slew him. Blunt marched down into the Cherokee country he followed Mathews to his den and killed him.

What is the reason Price and Rains did not march into Kansas? Did Prince keep off the 12,000? Did Robinson do it? Did Blood, who went in pursuit of a herd of cattle and ran to Pike's Peak, jdiri Blood drive away tho 12,000? Did jSam. Sinilh do it? But they say Price and Rains had no intention of invading

Kansas—that they had made an arrangement not to invade Kansas.— With whom did our authorities make the arrangement? Not with Gamble, for he is a Union man—it must have been with Claib. Jackson. All I can say is that he who would hold intercourse with Jackson, is himself a tntitor and deserves a rope. ["Hang him hang him!''

Price marchcd with 12,000 men from Springfield to within eight miles of Ft. Scott. He intended to take it. The "peace" men all left, and a town is always in danger when the traitors run away. There were more valuable stores at Forts Scott and Lincoln at that time -than there were at Lexington. But AVC get no credit for driving back the traitors because we lost GO mules. If I am charged with those mules, they ought at least to give me credit for what I have captured from the enemy. We took 150 at one haul at Morristown, and it wasn't much of a day for mules either.

What has the State Government done for the protection of Kansas? How was Southern Kansas saved? I called the people to the rescue—they came. found arms belonging to Uncle Sam. I took tho responsibility of opening the boxes and giving the arms to the people. Now you go to the Fort, and they will tell you Lane is a thief. But Kansas would have been invaded had not those two thousand men been armed with those guns.

I sim a robber because I am guilty of the terrible crime of taking arms belonging to the Government and giving them to Kansas men. 1 don't believe I have done a thing that Abe Lincoln will find fault with the President will say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

The officers at this port have thwarted me at every step. I begged them for one piece of artillery. I could not get it. If we had had one 12-pound howitzer, we could have whipped Price and Rains at Dry wood, and thus have averted the disastrous defeat at Lexington, and prevented tho shedding of rivers of blood but wc could not get if-

How would you like to see Prince a Major-General? What has I10 ever done to deserve it? On an inclement nio-ht he refused to let twenty-six sick Ohio soldiers into the fort. Prince told the Ohio Sergeant that the soldiers ought to be sent to the guard-house.— ilang him," "Hang him."] I am speaking from the record—from affidavits—and as Jim Lane lives, those affidavits shall go before the Government and drive the inhuman scoundrel from his position. ["Good," "Good."]

I have commanded seven armies and I have found that officers succeed when they treat soldiers as men do that and they will fight for you. Why, my soldiers would follow me right into the middle of hell. And let me tell you that if I wanted to make a sure job of capturing the Old Fellow, 1 titke the Kansas brigade, and I'd do it, though he had Robinson and Prince to help him. [Terrific cheering.]

As will be seen by tho words in brackets, which wc have copied with thcspecch, the General's audience sympathized with him. A\ hen he had left tho stand, they passed resolutions in favor of making Kansas, the Indian Territory and Arkansas a new department, the command to be given to Gen. Lane. lie was also requested to go to Washington, and urge tho matter on the Government.— C'in. Gazette.

Th0" Charleston papers publish the following order from Brigadier General Ripley:

Citizens residing on Sullivan's Island will hold themselves in readiness to proceed to the city 011 short notice.— Circumstances only can determine at what moment it may be necessary to order a removal from the Island.

That is to say, they are expecting a visit from the federal fleet.

MR. CRITTENDEN.—'Glory be to God," shouted an excitable gentleman to John J. Crittedcn this morning, 'McClellan is sending 20,000 from Washington to Cincinnati for Kentucky We're safe now.' 'Safe? exclaimed the veteran senator. 'Doesn it blister your tongue to tell it? Sofcl by Ohio and Indiana troops, while Kentuekians allow themselves to be protected by others. It's a shame to old Kentucky, sir. ,,

SI 50 PER YEAH IN ADVANCE 2 00 WITHIN THE YEAR.

A Worthy Son of a Noble Sire. While James B. Clay, who made merchandise of the Ashland relics, is a traitor, and under arrest for his crime, another son of Ilarry of the West is as true as was his distinguished father.-— In answer to a letter written by a friend in New York, Thomas II. Clay writes as follows:

MANSFIELD, Oct. 3, 1S61.

MY DEAR SIR—Your favor of the 25th ult. reached me only yesterday, having been absent from home at tho time of its arrival.

You write that almost daily you are asked by some one, "IIow docs Thomas II. Clay stand? Does he still adhere with zeal and devotion to the undying union sentiments of his illustrious father?" You were right in your answers to these inquiries. There is no abatement in my love of the Union and detestation of treason, and I shall carry them with me to the grave. In tho words of my fathcT on another occasion, "The power, the authority and dignity of the government ought to bo maintained, and resistance put down at every hazard." Our neutrality has been violated by the Generals of tho confederate armies our soil has been invaded and wc arc in for the war.— Ohio and Indiana are coming up nobly to the rescue. Our position of neutrality would have made us an easy prey to the robber bands of rebellion, which tiro being thrown upon us by Jeff. Davis and his myrmidons, but for their generous aid and assistance and all this may perhaps be unavailing, unless the general government shall order a large army into our borders without delay.

The enemy has determined to winter in Kentucky. The Governor of Tennessee has issued his proclamation for 30,000 more volunteers. It is said many of the regiments heretofore on the Potomac are ordered to the assistance of tho renegade Bucknerand Zollicoffer. Should General Anderson be sustained, in the words of Tom Corwin, "we will welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves."

Tho "dark and bloody ground" will again be the theater of war a war more bloody and relentless than any recorded in history.

We have all confidence in our noble Anderson and his staff. The fiery cross is gleaming everywhere the friends of the Southern Confederacy are fleeing from our borders, and what will be left will be pure gold with a little treasonable alloy.

Beaten back from Kentucky the war must, be carried into their own territories, their leaders must be surrendered, and the Constitution and laws must bo vindicated.

I remain, truly your friend, T1IOS. II. CLAY. JOHN B. FRV, Esq.

The Advance Kentucky Regiment In Danger. A letter from Mount Vernon to tho Louisville Journal says:

Notwithstvnding Knox. Whitley, Laurel, Clay, and Roekcastlo, counties have each two or more companies in the service of the Government, Zollicoffcrs robbers liavo been running riot in them all (except Rockcastlc)for nearly one month, and are daily expected in Rockcastle, either by tho way of Camp Wild Cat, where Col. Garrard's regiment is stationed, or by surrounding them.

Garrard is a brave man, a cool, prudent, high-toned gentleman, and understands his business, but I tell you now he is poorly prepared to resist such a force as might be brought &- gainst him in two days' time. Col. Woolford, with a portion of cavalry, was out a few days, a week or ten days ago but returned or was ordered elsewhere, and while the counties of Knox, Whitley, Laurel, and Clay aro being overrun and destroyed by tho most unscrupulous army that ever disgraced any eoutry, it seems that Col. Garrard is also to be left in imminent peril.— Why is this?

PATRIOTIC WOME1V. The Cincinnati Gazette says, "a correspondent sends us a report of the proceedings of meeting of young ladies, held at Logansport, Ind., on the 30th of September, by whom it was 7lesolved, That we deem it to be tho duty of every young unmarried man to enlist and fight for the honor of his country, his flag, and his own refutation. 2nd. That the oung men, in this time of our country's peril, havo but one good excuse for not being a soldier, and that is COWARDICE.,^ .. 3d. That the young inan who now fails to respond to the call of his country, is not worthy the kind regards or the smiles of the young ladies of our native Hoosier State, and that none but ladies of doubtful age will smile on such men. 4th. That we will have nothing to do with young men who refuse to go to the war, and that "Home Guards" must?'** keep their distance. 5th. That the young man who has not pluck enough to fight for his coun* try, has not got the manliness to mako a good husband. 6th. That Ave will marry no man who has not been a soldier. 7th. That we will not marry till after the war is over and then, "Home

Guards." JS'o, never!!
