n by Yankees, to uphold the banner of Southern independence. It is humiliating to think that any part of Kentucky should be desecrated by the footsteps of invaders — and such invaders! but, most of all, that Lexington, the home of Henry Clay, the garden spot of the State, the seat of its greatest intelligence, refinement and wealth, should be in the possession of Lincoln's armed menials. No wonder that her best citizens have left her for the Southern army and for a more genial clime. Even the clergy who are true to the South can no longer breathe that once pure and inspiring atmosphere. Among other departures, we hear that Rev. Dr. Morrison, Rector of the Episcopal Church of that city, has left his distinguished and influential position, and returned to his native Virginia. If a man of such lofty virtues and signal abilities feels compelled to come out from among them, we want no better proof of the sad degeneracy and disloyalty to which the central city of Kentucky has fallen.

h it to the river, just as the bridge was thrown down and the last boat but one had been destroyed! Such an act of disinterested courage is seldom performed, and never by one who is not a brave man and a true friend. We have been deeply pained to learn to-day of the death of Mr. J. A. Totten, a volunteer from Logan county, who, for a long time, has been acting at our headquarters as Clerk, Provost Marshal, and Postmaster. He was much esteemed by all of us for his business habits and private virtues. He had just been promoted to a Quartermaster's place, when he was stricken down by that terrible scourge of the soldier — typhoid fever. He was a good Christian, but leaves a large and dependent family to mourn his loss. Lieut. Arrington, of Concord, is quite sick, and has been removed to Lewisburg. A good many of his companions are also sick, and one of them, whose name I have forgotten, has died. Capt. Rector, himself, has been quite sick, and is not yet fit for duty.
