Truly Humiliating.

II" is humiliating to observe how despicably low the editor of the Review and his dirty co•'workers in iniquity will stoop, to advance tho interests of a few selfish political knaves who are trying to icorvt themselves into office. The means to which this nofarious and ungodly set of rascals resort to accomplish their purposes, fully establish the baseness of their natures. Any one who has had the patience t» examine the columns of the

Jteview for the last few months, cannot fail to discover the results of its teachings. From week to week it is filled with the filth and scum of that pestilent secession shoct, tho Chicago Times.

The Negro is the burthen of its song—tho savoTy morsel that it rolls under its venomous tongue. Every scurrilous, low-flung paragraph it can find in regard to the unfortunato and degraded slave, is heralded forth in its columns to create a prejudice against liini, for the purpose of arousing the baser passions of the heart and inciting tho ignorant and unfeeling to mob law, violence and murder. As evidence of this look at the devils incarnate who broke looso on society in Now York city, a at in 1't is noble—it is magnanimous, to do something to alleviate tho sorrows of the oppressed—to assist the weak and cheer up tho degraded, and to enlighten the minds of tho ignorant, but tho shaN low-minded being who wjuld kick, cuff aud goad, the black racc for the purposo of hulping into power sordid selfish men, has certainly divestod

So intense is tho hatred of tho Roviow to the unfortunato black racc, that he could fina no room in his paper for the hellish atrocity committed by his misguided Southern brethren on the defenceless town of Lawrence and its citizens. Not a word about rebel barbarities can be found in the Review. The people of Kansas might all be rebbed and murdered, and every town in the State consigned to the flames, by the myrmidons of Jeff. Davis, so far as the Review is concerned, and its readers "know nothing about it, till the Chicago Times manufactured some palliating circumstance to mitigate their barbarous conduct.

For shamo, Charley! -Do rise superior to your narrow-minded prejudices—give reason and justice fair play—resume'your lost manhood—recollect you haves country to save in preference to a party to serve—in short, let patriotism take precedence of party fealty, and in place of pandering to the depraved appetites of demagogues and lawless mobocrats, cast them aside, and let them wallow in their own mire and pollution, while you join in with the good gathering army of the Union, "shouting the battle-cry of freedom."

The Union men of old Montgomery

will hold a Mass Basket Meeting, at Crairfordsvlllc, on Saturday, September 12th, 1S63.

Let every Union man, woman and

child in tho county, turn out and de

vote one day to their country and to

the honor of our glorious flag.

truction.

Como then! one and all! and show

by your presenco a determination to

stand by your country, and uphold

your sons, brothers, husbands and fath

ers, now in tho field for your defense.

Como! and by your numbers and your

words, show tho sympathizers in your

midst—the secret and sworn allies of

Southern traitors—that tho Union still

lives, and shall live FOREVER.

Eminent speakers from abroad will

be present.

Uulon Fair.

The Agricultural Fair which commcnccd on Monday of this week, at Russellville, (notwithstanding the copperhead opposition.) so far, wo understand, promises to be equal, if not superior, in every respect, to any exhibition LclJ by tho Union Society. The copperhcad opposition doubtless, all grows out of the fact, of this society having "Union" attached to its name. Nothing else tho Review to the contrary, notwithstanding.— There's no use talking about anything boing an •'abolition concern," where such men as T. II. Fitzgerald and Joseph Allen, Esq., of this county, officiate. The people havo too much sense to believe such base fabrications. It won't go down.

GROSS NEGLECT.—Charley

appcaranco at the next session of the Court, way of the transgressor is hard.

VALLANDIGIIAU AND DISUNION.—What

will tho

sticklers for the Union as* it was, say to tho bill introduced into Congress by tho traitor Vallandigham, to divide this Union into four Confederacies. Val. is infinitely worse than Jeff. Davis in gotting up Confederacies. Jeff, is satisfied with half, but Val. goes thtf whole hog.

Charley, we thought you advised all good democrats not to go to Indianapolis any more.— Now, Jack Snydor and McMaken havo disregarded your advice, and headed a delegation to that unholy place. Wondor if the Grand Lodge of K. G. C's. are in sossion thore? "Ah, me 1 the ills that do environ,

S—r Your very kind and Welcome

^o|ter camo to han|. on ':F^day lasiif. It is vo'ry gratifying to rcceive an occasional letter from the old neighborhood' through wjiieh I have so often passecLand in which so many lasting friendships havo often formed. It is pleasant to know that though, long absent I am not wholely forgotton.— It is still more pleasant to know.t"hat most of my old friends' are. true to -themselves, true to-their government, and loyal to our glorious UniOn.— There is nothlhg more gratifying' to the fcoliirgs of those who havo gone forth in defense "of the great principles of civil and religious freedom— who have left all the comforts and:enjoyments,of pleasant homes and exposed their lives to the,terrible dangers of camp and of battle—than to know thoy have the sympathies of thoso they have left behind. Often have I seen the big tear start in the eye of a brave and gallant soldier when reading a-lctter which breathed the true spirit of patriotism and expressed kind wishes for his and his comrades welfare but on tho contrary when letters from the' "no more inen and no more money party," or in other vforda from men of the Vallandigham and "Van Voorhee»" stripe, I have

the.fire of stern'indignation flash from the eye and words of bitter condemnation escape from their lips. I know there are some of this class of men in old Montgomery and in your own neighborhood, but most of them have been misled by designing demagogues, who love party more than country, and self more than party—whose God is their hobby, and who, thank God, will ere long be swept away as with tho besom of destruction.— They arc men who claim all wisdom to themselves and their party—who proclaim that the country can be saved alone through their party organization. Such men seem to forgot that they voted for James Buchanan and John C. Breckinridge, the vilest traitors that havo infestod our country.

forget that the principal leaders*in this rebellion, the men who first taught secession, who inaugurated this war, whoso skirts are red with tho blood of hundreds of thousands of our fellowcitizens, were men of their own party, whom thoy warmly supported, and for whose political promotion they labored day and night. But a few years ago they voted for and sustained traitort for tho higliost offices in the gift of the people, and thoy are compelled to acknowledge the fact. Will they have tho kindness to inform the people how much better or wiser they arc now than they wetc then? When and from whore sprang the light which illuminated their minds with higher wisd'qm and loftier patriotism? In what departmcnt^-of government or whero in civil life have they displayed thoso qualities of mind and heart which justify such egotistical boasting?

They clectcd traitors to the Presidency and Vice Presidency in 1856, and many votod for the traitor Breckinridge again in 1S60. What assurance then have tho pooplc that they would not elect men of like charactor in 1S64? That the Vallandigham and Yoorhcet men would elect traitors, is n6w as clear as the noon day and such man are doing more to.prolong the war—doing more to desolate the land—rto carry mourning to evory family—to cast tho shadow of death on every household— than all tho rebels in arms. But for their sympathy—but for the hopo of disaffection in the north the rebellion would come to a speedy end. And I thank Heaven that the auspicious day of peace seems ready to burst upon us in spite.of tho '-'aid and comfort'' extended by Northern sympathizers and when that day shall have arrived, the bold but nii?guided or impressed Southerner may bo pardoned and respectcil, but the selfish ^emagoguo of ths North who was too cowardly to fight for tho rebellion and too moan to support the government, will be overwhelmed with an oblivion, deep, dark and bitter as tho waters of the Dead Sea— and from which there will be no hopi-of escape. And for thoso who, at first, engaged earnestly in the defense of the government and then fell back into party and quaji-rebel ranks, there will be, in my humble opinion, no hopo-in the present life nor in that which is to como. •"!»,.

Tho rebel privates aro anxious to have peace on any terms and stop the war. Thoy nre better Union men to-day, most of them, than those men who constitute the Vallandigham' and Veorhees party in Montgomery county^ and hundreds would fight sooner nnd more promptly for the government. ,,

My kind regards to yourself and family, and all loyal neighbors.

I have never voted anything but a Democratic ticket in my life. The first vote I ever gave was for Vallandigham for Congress,and Frank Pierce for President. [Mr. S. was then a citizen of Butler county, Ohio, of which he is a uative.l, I voted for James Buchanan and John C. Breckinridge,, in 1856. In thq.Legislature of Indiana I voted for Jesse I.

It should be remembered that Gen. Eosecrans Was, prior to the war, an un vary in#Democrat. Writing from Murfreesboro, he says "I am glad So 'se6 *th^splefid id fctand you have tatecii against slavery^ With all its ...horrors,., .barbarities an.tCshocking immoralities. Slavery is dead, and nothing can rcstiscitate it. To. .understand this fully.you should pay us a visit. Slavory is doomed, and those who now uphold it will soon be held up to public odium and execration. No statesman will vindicate it, no friend of human progress will stretch forth a hand to break its. fall. Almighty G'od has certainly ordained the destruction of slavery in this country, where it has been more offensive and immoral than in others. sfc "W. S. ROSEUEANS."

Garibaldi to Lincoln. The following is the letter of Garibaldi to the President, of wnicn uie public has so often heard recently,-in full:

CAPRERA, August C, 1863.

Tv Abraham JJncoln, Emancipator of the Slaves in the American Republic: If in tho midst of your Titanic battles, our voice can yet reach you, let us, O Lincoln, free sons of Columbus, send you a word of good wishes and of admiration for the great work you have begun.

Heir of the aspirations of Christ and of John Brown, }rou will pass to posterity with the name of the Emancipator more enviable than any crown or any human treasuro.

An entire race of men, bowed by selfish egotism under the yoke of Slavery is at the price of the noblest blood of America, restored by you to tho dignity of man, to civilization, and to love.

America, mistress of liberty to our fathers, opens again the soicmn epoch of human progress, and while she astonishes the world by her gigantic daring, she makes us sorrowfully think how this old Europe, which also fights so great a battle for liberty, finds neither mind nor heart to equal her's.— While the revelers in despotism raise their bacchanalian rejoicings over the fall of a free people, let free men relig iously keep sacred the day of tho fall of Slavery. There',are mysterious parallels in histoi-3*—The ronbery of Mexico, and the Lincoln Proclamation. Prosperity to you Abraham Lincoln, pilot of Liberty hail to all you who for two years have fought and died around her regeneratiag banner Weal to you redeemed sons of Ham—the free men of Italy kiss the glorious marks of your chains.

The address is signed by the Italian Liberals, the first named being that of Gaiseppo Garibaldi, who also wrote it.

Southern Testimony to Vallaniligliam's Treason. Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gaiottc.

STEVENSON, ALA., Aug. 31.—In conversing with Union citizens of Aiaba ma and Tennessee, I learned that Vallandigham, while in this section, repeatedly' exhorted the rebels to hold on to Vicksburg, declaring that the success of his party in Ohio depended altogether on the ability of the rebel Government to bafliu the Union armies besieging that place. I confess I was staggered at first by this statement of Vallandigham's atrocity :i,l could not believe that even his treason was of so dark a character. I hesitated to make the matter public, and I should not do so, did: 1 not know that tho Evidences of the facts are abundant and indisputable. Loyal men in both the States I have named are ready to testify to it.

The Infamous Five.

When the bill for raising money for paying our soldiers in the field was put upon its final passage in tho United States House of Representatives, it received a voto of one hundred and fifty in favor to five against it. The names of those five mctabcrs who voted against paying our brave troops were:

Clement L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, now an exile in Canada, having been charged with complicity with tho enemy.

Benjamin Wood, of New York, reelected Representative to Congress. H. C. Burnett, of Kentucky, expelled from tho House of Representatives, for treason, now in the rebel army.

Elijah H. Norton, of Missouri, who ran away from his home, and now in the rebel army..

John W. Reid, of Missouri, expelled from the House of Representativer, for treason, and now or lately iu the rebel army.

The principal point is the threat of Beauregard to retaliate in the most seCSr&manner if Gilmore again fired into Charleston without giving uuo notice for the removaLof .non-^onxb^tftii^s^.^^

The Daily Dispatch says that the conference between Commissioner Ould for the Confederate States, and Merideth, for Lincoln, relative to exchange of prisoners, did not obtain favorable results. Tho Yankee Commissioner has gone back for the purpose of consulting his government upon the terms required by the Confederate Commissioner.

Its succeeding editorial on the division of the North is as follows "There is no good reason, in our opinion, to calculate upon any speedy division among tho Northern people,.of an extent sufficient to be very beneficial"to us, for the natural effects of disturbing causes which must disrupt society and separate tho population of the North, time is necessary."

The Star has reliable information from the Shenandoah Valley to the' effect that leading rebels in that quarter are transferring their property to men who, make some pretensions to being Union. This is, of course being done under pretence of sales of property, to save it from confiscation under the laws of Congress.

Our Defenders at Baton Rouge and I*ort Hudson. A correspondent of The Times gives a very interesting account of a trip from "Now Orleans to. Baton Rouge, Port Hudson and Natchez, by a very distinguished party, among whom were Major General Banks and a large number of. subordinate military offi-corSj-jthe British Consul at New Orleans,, ect., cct. Tho writer says: "At Baton Rouge we found tho fortifications, which are among the most splendid constructions ol the kind in the United States, completely manned by colored troops a more orderly, stalwart, efficient and well drilled set of men it would be difficult to meet.— One evening a body of their infantry was so posted as' to receive Gen. Banks with the honors: and, alter we returned from the fortifications, they were put to light artillery practice. To see the precision, exactness, nnd Frenchified elegance with which each man went through his manoeuvres the evident pvide he seemed to take in his work, elicited praise from every officer who witnessed it. I was silling by Gen. Weitzel's side, and heard him saythat nothing could bo better and Weitzel is a soldier if there is-one livrig. "We arrived at Port Hudson at 2 p. in., July 30. Descending from the vessel and mounted the steep declivity a splendid body of colored troops met the General in truly regal style.- I took another fuller view of the terriffic battle-ground where Col.

Guerrilla Warfare In Kentucky. LOUISVILLE, August 31st.—Bands of guerrillas, one or two thousand strong, have recently appeared in Cumberland, Clinton and Monroe counties. On Saturday one band captured four of Wolford's cavalry at Albany. Small parties of guerrillas are reported in Trirablo county.

jfrgv- On Friday morning, as the steamer John T.

He was but five miles ifrom home, having a family at Tell City. When be was put off at that place he was living, but with no possibility of his recovery.—iV A. Ledger.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31.

Charleston papers of last Monday givo particulars jf tho bombardment of the city by Gilmore. Of thirteen shells fired, twelve 8-inch shells fell into the city. The firing commenucd between one and two Saturday morning, arousing tho peoplo from their slumbers. No person was injured.— Most of the shells fell into the middle of the streets. One entered a warehouse—Williams & Co.'s—corner of King and Church streets, exploding in tho upper stories, making a largo opening in the brick wall of the rnedical purveyors house, scattering things in great confusion. Some straw ignited causing an alarm of fire, but was extinguished without trouble. Four shells fell in this locality, v.. ..

Inauguration of BramleUe.

FRANKFORT, KY., Sept. 1.

QOV. Bramlette has been inaugurated. In his inaugural he contendsthat the revolted States did not chango their status by rebellion that all that is necessary is for them to roturn to their fealty and take their positoin as States that rebellion did not them to a territorial status. He sayB we have now and will have when the rebellion closes, the identical constitution which the extremists seek to destroy—the one by innovation, the other by force. It is not a restored Union, not a reconstructed Union, that Kentucky desires but a preserved Union aud a restored peace on a Constitutional basis. Tho Governor strongly objects to the arming of negro regiments, and asks what is to be done with such soldiers at the end of the war. He points to the result of the recent election as proof uhat Kentucky will not fraternize with rebellion, either open or covert, and declares that Kentucky has ever been, now is, and always will remain loyal to the Government of our fathers.

jarThe Leavanworth Conservative of Friday, says:' John Calloo was tried in Lawrence on Monday by a jury selected by the citizens. It was proved that he knew of the raid, and noved his family out of town on Thursday night: After being sentenced to be hung as a' spy, he confessod that he came in with Quantrell, and that he killed the widow Allen's son. He was then hung.

Four more suspected persons were to be tried yesterday—Dally and his son, and two men named Wallace.
