Courier without any just provocation, on my part, commenced a personal attack upon me, and has continued it from day to day. The writer makes 110 direct charges against me, bail refers to my military administration . of affairs., in Ken tacky during ; the war,1 and,- fcr eowardly, innuendoes and unmanly insinuations', ' .seeks to .' create '. the impression that I levied forced money assessments upon the people of that region for my own personal gain Such "intimation was made more than a year ago by his immediate predecessor, It. S.- Sproule. editor of the Courier who, after'an examiuation'of the facts, gavc : me a Treej and complete vindication through the columns of the Courier. I took oecasidu'at that time to inakVa-fall state--mcnt of my administration of affairs in Kentucky , during the, war, which, with the letter from General Boyle and. the editorials from the Courier and Sentinel-on-the-Border, satisfied every candid citizen; and I reasonably supposed that i -would never a?ain have occasion to refer to the subject. But the editor of the Charter, blind t6 the facts known io every one and publicly acknowledged by his predecessor, not having the manliness to make an open' and direct charge against me, with the. instinct of a coward, has for days passed been publishing innuendoes and indirect insinuations against my integrity. Regretting the necessity, I deem it jastto myself to reproduce, the.

From EvaasTiHe Journal, Mar 31, 1867. ' i , .1 Personal Card. - n ' In view of the publications which have appeared in the Democratic pa rjers of this city, and which are copied elsewhere, it becomes necessary for me reluctantly to make a few public statements of a personal nature. .' I have long been aware of the bitter awtwww tertaitted towards me by a large number of the. people of Southwestern Jventucky. on cccoun of mv military administration o affairs in .that region in. 1302-3, while an oflicer. oi tha. 1' ederat army kre casional vague charges affecting my character as an' officer and f citizen have reached me, but always from suoli, irresponsible sources as to lead me to pass tnem.Dy as,.tne. expression of the expiring venom or rebellion. I r6lied upon' the record which I had made in the army, and the knowledge of mv character possessed by my lei low-citiaeus, amoog wtOm I bad lived from childhooOL J'or a.rtfatatioo of adv eueh charges. During the -heatedr. campaign of 18G0, in which I, as a public journal ist. necessarily participated, some par tisan newspapers made oecasonal ref erence to matters which, by innuendo rebec-ted upon my character for hon csty and reputation as an officer. I very well knew that in the excite tnent and bitterness .of ' a politica contest, it was idle to attempt to ob tain a" candid" hearing. After the campaign was over, 1 prepared an account of my connection with military and civil matters in Southwestern) Kentucky, which every fair minded man would be constrained to acknowledge relieved me from all censure, and fully exonerated mo from any charges which-had been made. I was induced by Kentucky gentlemen, high in authority and possessing the confidence of the dominant party of that. State, to fprego it3 publication, upon the assurance that 1 should be vindi cated by the testimony of my enemies themselves." " . , ' For the present, especially, in view of great public enterprises, in which I had a common interest with all other citizens, I had concluded to bear quietly the unjust odium of ft large class of people in the adjoining State of Kentucky. But on the 19th of May the Evansvillc Courier made a publication, which, by innuendo, reflected i upon; my character for. honesty, and which was grossly libelousy 't was; the first. time that the vague rumors alluded to had assumed anything like a responsible authorship. I resolved that it should be met at once:" Through a mutual friend I made a demand upon the proprietor of that paper for a public retraction, and a vindication of my character, with a proposition on my part to submit to him official and authentic evidence to fully satisfy him. He very promptly and courteously disavowed any intention to do me injustice, and denied : all knowledge of the intended publication of the offen sive article, throwing the responsibili ty upon a subordinate employee. Af ter as full an examination as he de sired to make, the article which is copied elsewhere, was ' published in : Knowing that comments would be made upon it by the other cuy daily, the entinel-on-the-Border, I invited the editor to maker such examination as he deeired into the official papers in, my possession, in order that , he might have a correct understanding of my instructions and acts as an officer ot the Government. I made no re quest of. Kim for any 'vindication of my cnaracter or conduct. My only orject was to prevent any misrepre sentations. . i .:.! , . . . I As a soldier of the Grand Army of the Unionvsl have no apology to make for my service of more than three years against the enemies of my country. I glory ia the fact (hat I had an opportunity in common with the hundreds of thousands of my fellow-citi-zecs to do what I could to put down, a wicked rebellion. I have no disposition to enter into an extended defense of my acts in- Western ; Kentucky unless it shall be made necessary. My conduct and administration of affairs were lolly approved and heartily commended by my superior officers, and, at the time,' by every loyal man in Kentucky. I have" the satisfaction of knowing that the brave: men under my command in a few weeks restored peace to a large region ol country in that State, and as long as we remained there,' preserved it; and that we kept the , rebel army from the border of Indiana, and from our own homes and families.

Ken tucky m 1SG2. At the invitation and request of that gentleman, we have read and examined his papers- orders and instructions from superior officers, receipts, reports, Ac. having reference to his actions as a military commander ia Kentucky and must say, after a close investigation, that we could seetj nothing in them that affected , .his integrity , for honesty. -Tne orders and instruc tions were r very strict and severe indeed, and in their execution , we are not surprised that Colonel Foster gave great offense to (hat portion of the pcople: 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- 1 he idea or making a large class -of citizens, supposed to sympathize with tne reoeiuon, re sponsible for the acts of a few bad men among them, and levying con tributions off them, however innocent thev mieht be. to nay lor the depreda tions of prewlmg bands of guerriltas with whom they had no connection, is most abhorrent to every sense, of justice and right, but a close icvesti gation of the papers convinces us that Colonel Foster was in no way. benefitted pecuniarily by the coiieo tion or distribution -of these funds, and that he acted under orders from his superior officer ia the matter; and his course was fully approved by the Government." Wo fiud that the moneys thus levied were used for the purposes indicated: that they were disbursed by other officers, and fully accounted for to the Government ; and that he did not receive any pecuniary benefitfrom the disbursement.. While most strenuously, condemning', the acts of Colonel Foster as a military commander in Kentucky, and hold ing ourselves bitterly opposed to the policy of the Government, which he was the instrument to carry Into etiect iG his district, candor compels us to say that these acts were done under orders, and that we could had nothing, in the transactions showing any lack of honesty on Col. Foster's part.- Ho informs us that he came out of the' army as poor as when he entered it, and that all 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 : be true. If any inference has been drawn from an article which appeared in the Courier of the 19th of May last, against Col. Foster's honesty, wo hope what we have here stated wil remove such impressions from the minds of our readers. From Kvansville Sentinel, May 30. UNPUBLISHED HISTORY. Who Is Responsible for the Events In Southern Kentucky Daring the War? Extraordinary Orders !" We have heard much from Ken tuckians regarding the history r f mil itary rule in Southern Kentucky during the late war, but more espe cially concerning the reputed trans actions of Colonel John W. Foster, in regard to the treatment of those who adhered to the cause of the Confeder ate Government, either as soldiers or from sympathy as citizen?, as well as to the levying of two certain contri butions, orT as-the Mexicans would say. pre$tamos, for the purpose of in demnifying "Union men,' so-called who claimed that their property had been, used by the Confederate regula: or partisan forces, during the raids that were made in '62 and'63. And we have continuously heard the name ot Uolonel 1 oster, as the more imme diate commander of . tho Federa troops, used by the people who have complained of the consequent oo prcssions, in terms by no means com phmentary to him as a soldier or citi zen. . . , . ; We assert that we have examined a series of orders to Colonel John W, b oster, requiring of him. in some in stances, to commit barbarisms which are not charged against him. while in others, giving the fullest discretionary authority to nim to do as hisjudg ment should. direct.whi!e the spirit of all ot them - was far beyond anything of which he has been charged by any citizen of Kentucky, to our knowledge, of having done. in regard to tne assessments o frestamos levieu oy uoi. x oster m lopkins County, we have examined official documents establishing th A . it . .1 iact mat tnese prestamos were ap proved and indorsed by the Govern ment at Washington! We have also examined other official documents proving beyond caval that tho moneys raised by these prestamos were applied for the purposes for which they were made, and that the accused did not. at any time, have charge of their dis. posal; but that Mr. Priest, of Henderson, and other parties in Hopkins County, were the Commission having charge of their disbursement or ap plication. - 1 "We have given but an outline of the voluuiumus official -documents which have been placed before 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 of the war for the suppression of liberty. . We are no apologists tor 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 or paper to the vindication of any crusader against the people of Kentucky or elsewhere ; but we do not hesitate to say what we deem due and right. With the documents before us, and which we have not yet the liberty to publish in full, we are free to say that thejesponsibiiity for whatever has occurred on the other side of the river, is not upon Colonel Foster; that theTorders sent the latter gave him power to put to death, at liberty, all whom he chose; that he was authorized to take no prisoners; that he was empowered to levy contributions; that he was instructed to send Congressman Trimble-to a lousy prison, when he only confined him to the limits of Henderson; that he was highly complimented for his moderation by such men as Judge Fowler; that the money raised by "his presfamos was not applied by himself to his

iFrom Kvanaviile Journal, Jane 1, 1S67. , Letter from General JT. Boj le. EVAKSvu.i-e, Imi., May 31st, iSfiT. Vol. J. IF. Foster: Sir: I wrote of date, of last week in regard to the charges made against your integrity, and stating my un abated confidence in your honor and ntegrity. , 1 hnd in your paper of this morning aboard with articles taken rotn the' Courier and Sentinel, vindi cating you and reflecting on ma. I had no recollection of the tele graphic orders in your possession, but on examination I find somethings I lo not approve and some that I do approve. They were made in the midst of revolution and fierce civil war. Doubtless the state ot excite ment pervading every one. and the exaggerated accounts of the action of individuals and bodies of men, led to the issue of the orders. The orders are stringent and severe against guerrillas and bushwhackers, but 1 believe consistent with the laws of war.. I believe sush men ought to be shot down, but ought not to "be murdered after being captured," and this is the substance of the ordern to you. . discretion was given you to ex ercise leniency to such as were rew pentant, and would not further violate the laws of the country. I had the fullest confidence in your capacity and. humanity, and did not hesitate to confide to you the greatest discretion. I made such orders in pursuance of orders from my superior com manders. I believe that no cruelty was ever practised by you,or any officer oy my orders, towaras any prisoners. I am sure that I never treated any prisoner, not even guerrillas, with cruelty or severity, and never failed, as far as I could consistently with my orders and duty, to exercise leniency and kindness, it is true, 1 believed the war a reality, and believed in theses pressiou of the rebellion by force of arms, and killing men in armed hostility to the Government, and in ex terminating guerrillas, and those mak ing unlawful warfare, without author ity trom anr Uovernment. in regard to levying contributions, I believe it was wrong. On your re commendation 1 ordered it to be done in one case. I authorized your levy ing contributions for a soldier's wife and children who had been killed. named Hawkins. This is the only case I now remember, but afterwards 1 always disapproved it, and forbid it, though in several cases the War D partment authorized it to be done by direct orders to officers under my command. In the contributions levied by you. they were not done by pay or ders, except as stated ; but I know they were approved by the (jovernment; and I have never entertained a doubt that all the moneys collected under your orders were honestly disbursed by your orders, and no part thereof e ver appropriated by you to your own use. 1 found you an honest and faith ful officer, and you were retained in command at your post over an officer who ranked you, at the solicitation of citizens of Henderson County, be cause or ttieir connaence in your ca pacity and fairness. I am, very respectfully, Your friend and ob't servant, J.T.Boyle. Bowling Green. Ky.,1 Feb. 28, 1867. J I was appointed by Col. John W Foster, then commanding in Western Kentucky, Volunteer Aid and Adjutant, in August, 18C2. upuDi the recommendation of the citizeas of Hop kins, Henderson and other counties I remained in that position with Col Foster for several months, and was fully conversant with all his military acts. 1 The levy which was made by his orders upon tho rebel sympathizers of Hopkins County in the fail of 18G2, I know was, m the first instance, sug gested and was recommended and fully endorsed by all who were at that time recognized by the military au thority as Union men. It was con sidered by them as the only way o remedying the evils arising from the guerrilla warfare then being carried on. j ' The fund so levied was almost en tirely collected by other officers than Colonel Foster, and was paid over to Oreorge M. .frieat, ot Henderson, and by him disbursed to Union citizens upon the orders of a committee of citizens selected by the Union men of Hopkins County, lhis committee was composed of the following per son3 from Hopkins: James W. Wil kin. George L. Weatherly and S. B Nesbit. if I remember correctly. Col. Foster neither collected the money or controlled its disbursement, except as stated. T. VV. Campbell.
