DREW Associate Xdixoe 8"Forgetful of the short lease of power in Kentucky, the rebel leaders are "putting on airs," and issuing proclamations with all the hauteur of petty despots. The following is a copy of a proclamation issued by one H. C. King, commanding ( as he says himself) Kentucky volunteers. Judge Williams is one of the oldest and most estimable citizens in the first Congressional district. He owns a large plantation near Mayfield, which he has been compelled to abandon, as he would not abandon bis loyalty to the Government and institutions he loves. He is now engaged in raising a regiment of Kentuckians at Paducab, and we predict that an attempt at his arrest will be attended with sufficient danger to give spice to the effort. Who H. C. King is, we do not know. We presume he is one of the miserable adventurers who have taken up arms against the Government, in hopes that their fortunes at a low ebb in times of peace may be improved in the confusion attending a rebellion. His proclamation indicates to onr mind that he has fixed his longing eyes upon the home and property of Judge Williams, and doubtless, ere this, he has appropriated many of the valuables on the plantation to his own use : Proclamation. Mayfikld, Oct. 7th, 1861. Whereas, R. K. Williams has fled from his county and ha3 gone over to the enemy, and has erMeavored, as far as in him lay, to introduce among the good people of Jackson's purchase, a band of cut-throats, robbers and murderers ; and whereas, the said R. K. Williams, keeps himself within Padncah. I hereby warn all well-disposed persons from having anything to do with him, and I hereby ask all gooi and loyal men to arrest the said Williams and to deliver him tome, and I promise to hang the traitor on the Erst tree. H. C. Kino, Commanding Ky. volunteers, C. S. A It perhaps, will he well for the secession neighbors of Judge Williams to pack up their duds and move South, in case any hound reaches his family or property. He will hold them to a strict accountability, and will have a force at his back sufficient to make them rue the day they permitted any interference with his family or plantation. Rebel Force at Prestonburg, Kv. The Louisville Democrat of Sunday learns on unquestionable authority that J. C. Breckinridge, Col. Wra. Preston and other notables in the secession ranks, are at Prestonburg, Floyd county, Ky., organizing a large rebel camp. They have gathered around them a force of some six or seven thousand men, and are drilling them eight hours a day. They are reported to have some cannon, and are well provided with other arms. Mr. Breckinridge and Col. John S. Williams made a trip to Richmond recently, and returned to their rendezvous at Prestonburg last Tuesday. They are engaged in the work of alarming the people of the mountains, by circulating incredible stories as to the intention of the Government, and are using every means, fair and foul, to win I jllowers to their camp. It is time these men were looked after. They are the chief traitors, because of their influence for evil. Let the Government see that a requisite force is promptly placed in the mountains, where the Union forces may rally to a man in driving these traitors from Kentucky soil. From a private letter, we learn that the sympathizers with secession in Warrick county made a desperate effort to defeat Mr. Johnson, for Treasurer. On the 4th day of July last, that gentleman made a bold and outspoken speech for the Union, and in favor of prosecuting the war until the rebellion was crushed For this he was proscribed, and although no charge could be brought against him as a public officer, a determined effort was made to bring about his defeat. It was aBticipated that as 000 or 800 good Union men had left the county to fight for the Government, all of whom were Mr. Johnson's friends, that the secessionists might muster force enough, aided by those who could be induced through misrepresentations to also vote against him, to succeed in electing Mr. Fuller. The resalt is gratifying, as affording an index that old Warrick is loyel to the backbone. Johnson's majority is between 300 and 40 To Correspondents. We have received two or three communications from eur friends in the army, which we have failed to publish for want of space in part, but principally, because the news they contain have already appeared in our columns in another shape. We hope they will not feel slighted but will write often, and, as a general thing, their letters shall appear in the Journal.

The Trial of Sile Weed. The Vanderburg Circuit Court was engaged yesterday in the trial of Sile Weed far the murder of Capt. Ashby. Messis. Robinson and Hynes represented the State, and the prisoner was defended by Msssrs. Pitcher and Denby. The testimony for the plaintiff and defendant was taken inside of three hours, and the speeches of counsel were short and to the point. The testimony was conclusive as to the killing, and the only question now before the jury is the intention of Weed at the time he struck Ashby. The particulars of the sad affair are fresh in the mind3 of a majority of our readers, and it is not neces

sary to recite them. The long confinement of the prisoner in the dark and unwholesome jail of this county has almost reduced him to a skeleton. He appeared yesterday as though he might have been hid away from the sunlight since his birth. He fondled upon his lap the same terrier dog he held at the time he killed Ashby. It has been the companion of his lonely hours during his confinement. The prisoner's fate will be determined to-day, and whatever it may be, his case is a lesson and a warning to all young men who allow themselves to be overcome by the power of an evil habit. Whisky placed Sile Weed in the criminal box yesterday, and Whisky will doubtless consign him to a felon's cell tor many a long year to come. BSL.The sanitary condition of the 42nd Regiment, is very gratifying, and reflects credit upon Dr. Magennis, who yesterday had only two patients in the regimental hospital. The sick of the late expedition to Green River, have all ben cured and returned to duty. gi3gWe are informed that the members of Col. Willich's German Regiment, before leaving Indianapolis, took an oath to drink no liquors, wine or beer, during their enlistment. o election returns nave yet been received from Crawford county. In Perry county, Smith and Barkwell received all the votes for Prosecuting Attorney. So far 83 heard from, Hynes leads Stinson for Prosecutor, over 300 votes. From the N. Y. Evening Poet, Sept. 28.J BROWKSOS'S HUARTERIiT REVIEW ON SLAVERY AND THE REBELLIOS. The October number of Brownson's Quarterly Revi, v, ihe official quarterly of the Roman Cat: tiics iu the United States, contains a most able and patriotic essay on the different questions raised by the pro-slavery re bellion, and in particular on the relations of slavery to the rebellion and to the union. Mr. Brownson takes th position that, if we value peace, honor, liberty, prosperity, all we have or hope for, we mnst maintain the Union ; and he believes that to put down the rebellion, and bring back a peace which shall bo lasting and honorabie as wel! righteous, we must not only put down the rebellion, but also that which is the sole cause of rebellion Slavery. We have not room for all that the Evening Post has copied from Mr. Brownson's Quarterly, but what we copy will give onr readers some idea of the article. Editor Journal. mr. brownson's position. Wo need not say, for the fact is wel known to our readers, that no man, accord" ing to his ability and opportunity, has, since April, 1838, more strenuously opposed the abolition movement in the free States than we have ; not because we loved slavery, or had any sympathy with that hateful institution, but because we loved the Constitution of the Union, and because we believed that liberty at home and throughout the world was far more interested in preserving the Union of the3e States under the federal constitution, than in abolishing slavery as it existed in the Southern section of our common country. But we believe, and always have believed, that liberty, the cause of free institutions, the hope of philanthropists and Christians, both at home and abroad, are more interested in preserving the Union and the integrity of the nation, than they are or can be in maintaining negro-slavery. If we have opposed abolition heretofore, because we would preserve the Union, we must, a fortiori, oppose slavery whenever, in our judgment, its continuance becomes incompatible with the maintenance of the Union, or of our nation as a free republican State. A WORD TO WORKING MEN. Look at the question as we will, we have now no alternative but to subdue the rebels or be subjugated by them. We must either depose that Confederacy and enforce the authority of the federal government over all the rebellious States, or it will enforce its authority over the free States, and impose upon them its system of slave labor. If it enforces its authority over us there may still, perhaps, be liberty for a cl-iss or caste, but our laboring classes will no longer be freemen they will be placed on a level with the negro slave on a Southern plantation. For the Christian commonwealth, founded by our fathers, toiled for and bled for, we shall have re-established a Pagan Rome. We put it to our Christian countrymen, if such is the Commonwealth their fathers fought and suffered through the long seven years' war of the Revolution to establish, and if they can be contented to let the hopes of liberty in the New World set in a night of blackness and despair. After treating of the magnitude of the present struggle, of the slave population, and the right of the Government to control the entire population, in a time of rebellion, the writer proceeds, THE BORDER STATES AND FREEDOM. But if it be required to tre it them as free aad loyal citizens by the military operations for the preservation of the I'diod, or even to remove the causes ot the present rebellion, the government is bound so to treat them. The only doubt that can arise is aa to the fact, whether it would or would not prove useful to this end. It may be objected to such measure that it would deprive us of the aid of Western Virginia and Eastern Tennessep, and drive into open hostility to the Union Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. The objection deserves grave consideration. But it is in substance the objection that has embarrassed the government from the outset, and compelled it to take only half-way measures to suppress the re bellion, ror ourselves, we cannot respect ttw fear to which this obligation appeals. Fear is the'worst posaible counsellor in tbworld, and the government that hesitates to adopt the best policy Ibr fear of alienating its friends, is lost. Let the lines be at once sharply drawn between our friends and onr

enemies. In a crisis like the present, luke- I warm friends, or friends who will be oir friends only by virtue of certain concessions j to their interests or prejudices, are more j embarrassing than open enemies, and do more to weaken onr forces than if arrayed 1 in open hostility against us. If these States are for the Union they will insist on no ' conditions incompatible with the preser- ' vation of the Union; they will niakesacri- 1

fices for the Union, as well as the other '1 loyal States, and there is no reason nor ! justice in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the great States northwest of the Ohio, pouring out their j blood and treasure for the gratification of the slaveholding pretensions of Maryland, I Kentucky or Missouri. The citizens of these j States who own slaves, are as much bound, 1 if the preservation of the Union requires it, to give up their property in slaves, as we at the farther North are to pour out our blooc and treasure to put down a rebellion which threatens alike them and us. If they love their few slaves more than they do the Union, let them go out of the Union. We are stronger to fight the battles of the Union without them, than we are with them. EMANCIPATION. Under this head, Mr. Brownson says: Whether the time for this important measure has come or not, it is for the Presi dent, as Commander-in-Chief of our armies, to determine. But, in oar judgment, no single measure could be adopted by thegovernment that would more effectually aid its military operations, do more to weaken the rebel forces, and to strengthen our own. Four millions of people in the slave States, feeling that the suppression of the rebellion and the triumph of the Union secures to them and their children forever the status of free citizens, are more than a hundred thousand men taken from the forces of the enemy, and twice that number added to our own ; for they would not only compel the rebels to keep a large force, that might otherwise be employed, at home, to protect their own wives and children, but would deprive them of the greater portion of that labor by which they now subsist their armies. Now slavery is to them a source of strength ; it would then be to them a source of weakness. Its abolition would, in our judgment, be striking the enemy at his most vulnerable point, precisely where v. e can best sunder the sinews of his strength, and deal niui the most fatal blow. Moreover, it would not only bring to the assistance of the federal arms the co-operation of the whole colored race in the Union, but would secure us, what we now lack, the sympathy and the moral aid of the whole civilized world, and remove all danger of our coming into conflict with either France or England. The war would be seen then likely to effect a result with which Englishmen and Frenchmen could sympathize, and instead ot wishing for the success of the Southern Confederacy, they would wish with all their hearts for the success of the federal arms. It would do more than this. It would bring to the aid of our volunteer force from one hundred to two. hundred thousand brave and stalwart volunteers from the free States, aye, and even many from the slave State3 themselves, who will not, and cannot he induced to volunteer their services in a war which, even if successful, promises to leave the institution of slavery not only existing, but more firmly established than ever. Everybody knows that slavery is a the bottom of the controversy, and that ihe real object of the southern leaders is not simply to protect slavery against abolition movements where it exists. The writer proceeds to show, by arguments familiar t6 our readers, that free and slave labor can never be harmonized in the same nation, that there must always be an irrepressible conflict between them, and that, however homogeneous in race or cfaarac- j ter, habits or manners, may be the people I of a country in the outset, they separate j and grow gradually into two distinct peoples, with almost entirely diil'erent ideas, habits i and customs, if one half of them in the one I section adopt the slave system, and the other ! half, in the other, the free labor system. This the writer illustrates by the history ! and condition of our own country. He ! then shows that the whole country must necessarily come under the control of the one system or the other, that the universal control of slavery was the sole object of the j rebellion, and will be its inevitable result, unless it be suppressed that emancipation I is practicable, and would benefit the whole country, North and South. He then adds: The proposition, then, involves no wrong, ! no injustice, no iDjury to the white popula- j tion of the Southern States ; while it would I be an act of justice, though tardy justice, to j the negro race so long held in bondage, and forced to forego all their own rights and interests for the pride, wealth and pleasure of their white masters. It seems to us, then, highly important, in every possible view of the case, that the federal government should avail itself of the opportunity given it by the southern rebellion to perform this act of justice to the negro race; to assimilate the labor system of the South to that of the North ; to remove a great moral and political wrong' ; and to wipe out the foul stain of slavery, which has hitherto sullied the otherwise bright escutcheon of our Republic. We are no fanatics on the subject of slavery, as is well known to our readers, and we maie no extraordinary pritensions to modern philanthropy ; but we cannot help fearing that, if the government lets slip the present opportunity of doing justice to the negro race, and of placing our republic throughout in harmony with modern civilization, God, who is especially the God of the poor and ' oppressed, will never give victory to our ! arms, or suffer us to succeed in our efforts to ! suppress rebellion, and restore peace and j integrity to the Union. We have too long ; turned a deaf ear to the cry of the enslaved; I we have too long suffered oni hearts to grow callous to the wrongs of the downi trodden iu out- own country ; we have too 1 long been willing to grow rich, to erect our ! palaces, and gather luxuries around us by i the toil, the sweat, and the blood of onr enslaved brethren. May it not be that the : cry of these brethren has already entered j the ear of Heaveo, and that He has taken ' up their cause, and determined that, if we ! refuse any longer to break their chains, to set them free, to treat them as our brothers ! and fellow-citizens, we shall no longer exist : as a nation'' May it not be that, in this ; matter, we have Him to reckon with, and that the first step towards success is justice to the wrsoged? We confess that we fear, if we let slip the opportunity which the southern rebellion gives us to do justice to the slave, or to make his cause ours, in vain shall we have gathered our forces and gone forth to battle. We fear God may be using the rebels as instruments of our punishment instruments themselves to be destroyed, when through them our owu destruction has been effected. We speak solemnly and in deep earnest ; tor h fights at terrible odds who has the infinite aurl just God against him. It may be that an allwise Providence has suffered this rebellion for the very purpose of giving us an opportunity 'if emancipating rightfully, without destroying, but as a means of preserving, the Union, the mr.-i, women and children now held in bondage, and of redeeming our

past offences. If so, most fearful will he His judgments upon us, if we neglect the opportunity, and fail to avail ourselves of the right. Now is our day of grace. This opportunity neglected, our day of grace may be over, and our Republic follow the fate of all others, and becoming a hissing and a by-word in all the earth. Which may God in His infinite mercy avert, m

Suffering of Troops in Western Virginia. The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette gives a most deplorable account of the sufferings of our brave soldiers on the mountains of Western Virginia. We copy an extract: All operations were stopped on Thursday afternoon by a terrific storm of wind and rain. The tents were no shelter. Tue water came through as it the linen was intended for a filterer. The men began to suffer, and the horses, which had no feed for three or four days, except some hay, and which had worked too hard for wellfed horses on the muddy, steep roads, commenced to tremble with hunger, exhaustion and cold. When the next daylight appeared, the rain increased in fury, and nothing could be done all day. The calamity increased among the soldiers as well as among the animals. Toward evening the rain began to be colder, and the wind blew fiercer. Everything was so wet that it became impossible to build a fire and to cook the only stimulant which was to be had in camp a cup of coffee was out of tha question. The night was colder than the day, and many of our brave men chose to walk in the rain all night rather than lay in the wet tents, where fever was certainly in store for them. But it seemed as if the night would have no ead as if daylight never would appear; and when the day broke finally and the drops of rain fell from the branches of the pine trees and gathered on the branches of the chestnuts, it looked to us as if every drop was turning into ice. Most everybody was shivering with cold. But the horses poor animals! fifteen of them died within half an hour. How many have starved and died I cannot tell. They are dying constantly on the road and iu the camp. There has been no feed for them for three days, and the cavalry companies received orders this morning to get forage for their horses wherever they could. But even this will afford them little chance tn feed their horses, most every thing has been taken away by the rebels. Horses, wagons, oats, wheat, hay, cattle, even sheep and hogs have been led off by them, and were paid for with pieces of paper. I saw one farmer this morning who had sold to Wise fifty head of cattle. As an equivalent, he received an order on the Quartermaster, aud was told that he wuld receive his money if he would come to his camp. Mr. Anick went, but instead of being paid be was put into the guard house and kept there for three days as a punishment for his insolence in asking the Confederate States for money.

Tbey are manufactured by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and successful Physician, and hence, should not be classed among the quack nostrums which flood tha conntry, and against which tbs Medical profession are so Jnstly prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not been fairly befere the public for ene year, and yet there is a heavy demand for them from alt parts of the Union. Dr. Fr.nk, No. :t0 West 36th street, New York, says: "I have been greatly beneflttud by using Dr. Dons' Wins Bin ens, and am now using them freely and successfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females, I consider them unequalled." Dr. Guernsey, No. 18 West 23d street, says : "I have used Dr. Dods' W ink Bitters in my practice, and in all cases where a tonic is required, I consider them unsurpassed, aud cheerfully recommend them aa a Family Medicine." Dr. Meacham, of Florida, says : "For several years 1 suffered all the horrors ot Chronic. I used ail other remedies without avail. I discarded prejudice, and used Dr. Dods' Wins Bt iters, which have greatly benefitted me, aad I believe will cure me." Mr. ii. S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y.,says: My wife was sinking rapidly with consumption ; the best pbjsiciaus in Albany aud New York City pror,ourid her case hopeless. She used Dr. Dods' Wine B,ttbs, snd is cured." Mr J. K. Ma.tiH, of Newark, N. J., says: "My daughter was extremely ill ; she had been attended by four of our best physicians ; her disease was 1 nil tuiuiation of the Bowels, which had produced extreme debility. Her ease was considered hopeless by all who saw her. A friend recom mended Dr. Dons' Wine Bittejm ; the ased them, and it well." Mr. RiiitHiii. BilfeH ol the Banner of Light, Id Boston , says : "Dr. I. Movsf: Do ' Wine Litters have cured me of Piles of the worst and obstinate character."
