They were instructions from a Department Com mander, in his ; luxurious auarters in a distant city, to a subordinate officer, in command ot a sub-department to "put to the sword " a large body -of Kentuckians now living,, but who live not by the grace ot General Boyle',' but really as the . result of the more moderate course pursued by Colonel roster. .- . . iu regard to tne assessments , or vrestamos levied' bv Col. Foster" in Hopkins County, we have, examined ' omcial documents establishing the j tact that these prestamos were an proved ' and indorsed by the Govern ment at Washington! We have also examined other ' official documents proving beyond caval that the moneys raised by these prestamos were applied lor tne purposes tor which thev were made, and that the accused did uot, at any time, have charge ot their dis posal: but that Mr. .Priest, of Hen derson, and other parties in Hopkins County, were the Commission having charge or tneir disbursement or application. : - We have given but an outline of the voluminous official documents wnien nave Deen placed oerore us. Many important facts bearing upon the history of events of deep interest to many hundreds of our Kentucky neighbors are contained also, which lead to a better understanding of the history or tne war tor the suppression of" liberty. "We are'hd 'apologist "for Col. Foster or any other man who lorded it in behalf of the Radical party over the people of Kentucky. God forbid that we should ever lend our pen onpaper 'to the vindication of any crusader against the people . of iventucKy or elsewhere; but we do not hesitate to say. what we deem- due and tight. With the documents before us. and which we have not yet, the liberty to publish in tull, we are tree.to say that the responsibility for whatever hgs occurred on the other side of .fhe xv. er,is upon General' Bdyle," and 'not Colonel" Foster ; that the Ordera- sent the latter gave him power'; to put?, tp death, at liberty, all whom he chose; that he. was authorized to take -110 f' )risoners; that he was empowered to evy contributions; that he was instructed to send Congressman Trimble to a lousy prison, when - ho, only confined him to the limits of Henderson; that ne was highly complimented fot his moderation by such-men as Jadse Fuwier; that the money raised by his prestamos was not applied by himself to his own uses; these and many other fact?, we say, are. proved by official documents in. his hands, audfwhieh are open to the inspection of the public.

fall, and -Jet t hose .who me responsible for the events -which transpired in Southern Kentucky, bear, their just burden of whatever odium mVy attach thereto. With not only the tpint, but the very letter of instructions from Gen. Boyle the great discretionary power placed in the hands of Col. Foster that officer had supreme power over the lives and fate of every citizen within his jurisdiction ABSOLUTE and unqualified ; while the orders constantly sent him' in the brief, laconic terms employed in telegraphing, taken lialf the lives in 'Southern Ken.' tucky, and been Justified, . , And. yet very few. men were killed, as we- are able to learn; but it' is . no fault, of Fosters superior officer f-.'v-.i'i Such is but an outline of" the uuSublishe'd history of events which are estinedto create a deep indignation in the hearts of all Kentuckians., It seems astounding that any commander could have exhibited such'a despicable barbarian' spirit in'his orders to a subordinate,' and still - preservefreedom from the responsibility by permitting jthe ; people to fasten the odium upon a subordinate; and it seems equally astonishing ..that such subordinate should consent ' to bear that odium, from a desire .to protect his superior, unon whom the fate of a railroad enterprise temporarily rests? I to his own prejuJice. We are i no disturber of th a peace fit Arvmi nifiAO i wrswf i - a rlai a "n. rake up the dead past from its fever ish sleep; ".But as an independent journalist," we deem the publication of j what bears, the unmistaka ble stamp of truth, to ce no crime affainst God or man, and we have thus given above a statement of facts contained in offi cial documents. We have been asked not to make this exposition-for the reason which has induced Co!. Foster to silently bear the mountain of obloI ' cv aa vi uva vuv uivuuvaiu Ul I P.uy which has rested on his name in . ii. . i I - certain quarters, lest the publication thereof should . prejudice the success of the " Evansville, Henderson and Nashville Railroad,", of .which Gen. Boyle is "resident; but, upon teflection, we feel that nothing will be haz arded by the statement. " It rests with-Uen. Boyle to satisfy the public as to the remarkable character of tho;txrdes Sdtfresf-ed by him to his subordinate in- command iu Southern', .Kentucky durinsr the war. which we doubt not his ability to dojIn l?.ct. bis reputation as a Christian soldier1 of "a nation, "priding .itself ..1. .- , i upon its civilization ana humanity. seems to ask an explanation. These "orders " are a part of the history of the country, anq will be read with intense interest by the people of South ern Kentucky at least, when made public. -.' ; ' . n 3 -;i ' .. From the Evansville Courier, 3Iay 30tb.J , A Statement. We:have notthe slightest dispo sition to do injustice to any human beinc. nor do we believe . in personal attacks upon the character of any person because he happens to be a political . opponent. , No . cause on earth was ever forwarded by such personalities, and while we have al ways been bold and tearless in denouncing the acts of public men that we believed to foe wrong; we have generally avoided assailiDB their motives '! A : v. . ci however, .by what ur men umaic maiaira . muug, was considered a in the Journal .of ;this ; papersonal allusion to the . proprietor per,, a paragraph slipped- into the" 'Courier some" days . asro which has been regarded as reflecting upon the character of one of the editor 'of- the Journal, in connection with his conduct as a military officer in Kentucky, in 1862. At the invitation and request of that gentleman, we have read and examined tris papers orders and instructions irom supe rior officers, receipts, reports. &e. having reference to his actions as a military commander in Kentucky, and must say, after a close investi gation, that we could see nothing in them that affected his integrity tor honesty. The orders' and instructions were very strict and severe indeed, and ;. in their -execution we are not surprised that Col. Foster gave great offense to that portion of the people ot Jventucky over, whom he was placed. Most emphatically do we condemn those orders. They were harsh beyond all necessity, and un just in principle and oppressive in their execution. Ibe idea ot making a large class of citizens, supposed to sympathize with the rebellion, responsible for the acts of a few iad men amone them, and levying con tributions off them, however innocent they;inight beto pay for the depredations of prowling band of guerrillas witii whom they bad no connection,' is: most abhorrent 'to every- sense of justice -and rigqt,' but a close .investi gation 01 tne. papers convinces 1 us that Colonel Foster .was ,in no way " benefited pecuniarily I:by .the collection i loV distribution "of these funds,1 and that he acted under orders' from his. superior officer in the mat ter, an ( his course, wa3 fnllyapproved by the Government.' We find that the moneys thus levied were used for the purposes indicated; that they were disbursed by other officers, ana fully accounted for . to the Govern ment; and that he did not receive any pecuniary beneht from the ' disbursement. : While most strenuously condemning the acts of Colonel Foster as a military commander in Kentucky, and holdinz our selves bitte; Jy opposed , to the policy of ; the ' Government, which, . he was -'the' . instrument,, to" carry into effect in his district, . candor ; compels us to'f av that .thee acts.

He informs us that he came ut of the army as rxor as when he entered jt, and that.11 the capital he had wherewith to commence business was "the distributive share of his father's estate.- From the evidence before us we believe the statement to ,fce true. It any inierence has been drawn from an artiole which appeared in the Qmrier of the 19th of Mav last. HErainst Col.
