SPEECH OF
HON. ANDREW JOHNSON,
SENATOR FROM TENNESSEE.
We make some extracts from the speech of Sena
tor Johnsen, delivered in the Senate on Friday, on
the resolution to expel Senator Bright, of Indiana,
regretting the impossibility of printing it in full:
THE POSITION OF THE TRUE DEMOCRACY
lam a Democrat now ; I have been one all my
life; I expect to live and die one ; and the corner
atone of my Democracy nate upon the enduring
basis of the Union. Democrats niay come and go,
but they shall never divert me from the polar star
by which I have ever been guided from early life—
the great principles of Democracy upon which this
Government rests, and which cannot be carried out
without the preservation of the Union of these
states. The pretence hitherto employed by many
who are now in the traitors' eamp has been, it we
are for the Union '
• we are not for dissolution ; but
we are opposed to coercion." How long. Senators,
have you heard that ayren song snag ? Where are
now most of those who sang those syrezt tones to us?
Look back to the last session, and inquire where
now are the men who then were singing that song
in our ears ? Where is Trusten Polk, who thou
stood here Bo gently craving for peace ? Bo 14 in
the rebel camp. Where is John C. Breekinridge ?
a man for whose promotion to the Presidency I did
what I could physically, mentally, and pecuniarily ;
but when he satisfied me that he was for breaking
up this Government, and would ore long be a
traitor to his country. I dropped him as I would
the Senator from Indiana. He was hare at the last
session of Congress; and everybody could see then
that he was on the road to the traitors' camp. In
stead of sustaining the Government, he, too, was
crying out for peace ; but he was bitter against
"Lincoln's Government." Sir, when I talk about
preserving this great Government, 1 do not have
its executive officer in my mind. The executive
head of the Government comes in and goes out of
office every four years. He is the mere creature
of the people. I talk about the Government with.
out regard to the particular executive officers who
have charge of it. If they do well, we can conti
nue them; if they do wrong, we can turn there
out. Mr. Lincoln baying come in according to the
forms of law and the Constitution, I, loving my
Government and the Union, felt it to be my duty
to stand by the Government, and to stand by
the Administration in all those measures that I
believed to be necessary and proper for the
preservation and perpetuation of the Union.
=MU
How is this Government to put down domestic
violence in a State without coercion? How is the
nation to be protected against insurrection without
coercing the citizens to obedience? Can it be done?
When the Senator says he is against the entire co
ercive policy of the Government, he is against the
vital principle of all government. I look upon this
as the most revolutionary and destructive doctrine
that ever was preached. If this Government cannot
call forth the militia, if it cannot repel invasion,
if it cannot put down domestic, violence, if it cannot
suppress rebellion, I ask if the great objects of the
Government are not at an end?
Look at my own State, by way of illustration.
There is open rebellion there; there is domestic vio
lence; there is insurrection. An attempt has been
made to transfer that State to another power. Let
=cash the Senator from Indiana if the Constitution
does not require you to guaranty us a republican
form of government in that State? Is not that
your sworn duty? We ask you to put down this
unholy rebellien, What , answer do you eve us ?
We ask you to protect us against insurrection and
domestic violence. What is the reply? "I am
against your whole coercive policy ; I am against
the enforcement of the laws." I say that if that
principle be acted on, your Government is at an
end : it fails utterly to carry out the object of its
creation. Such a principle leads to the destruction
of the Government, for it must inevitably result in
anarchy and confusion. "I am opposed to the en
tire coercive policy of the Government," says the
Senator from Indiana. That cuckoo note has been
reiterated to satiety; it is understood; men know
the nature and character of their Government, and
they also know that " coercion " and " Subjuga
tion " is mere ad taptandum, idle and unmeaning
alangwanging.
Sir, I may be a little sensitive upon this subject
upon the one hand, while I know I want to do
ample justice upon the other. I took an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States.
There is rebellion in the land; there is insurrec
tion against the authority of this Government. Is
the Senator from Indiana so unobservant, or 56
obtuse that he does not know now that there has
been a deliberate design for years to change the
nature and character and genius of this Govern
ment ? Do we not know that these schemers have
been deliberately at work, and that there is a party
in the South, with some associates in the North,
and even in the West, that have become tired of
free government, in which they have lost eonfi
dence ? They raise an outcry against " coercion,"
that they may paralyze the Government, cripple
the exercise of the great powers with which it was
invested, finally to change its form and subject us
to a Southern despotism. Do we not know it to
be so? Why disguise this great truth? Do we
not know that They have been anxious for a change
of Government for years? Since this rebellion
commenced, it has manifested itself in many quar
ters. Row long is it since the organ of the Go
vernment at Richmond, the Richmond Whig, de
clared. that, rather than live under the Government
of the United States, they preferred to take the
constitutional <wen of Gient Britain as their pro
testor ; that they would make an alliance with Great
Britain for the purpose of preventing the enforce
ment of the laws of the United States? Do we not
know this ? Why then play "hide and go seek ?"
Why say, "Oh, yes, I am for the Union," while
every act, influence, conversation, vote is against
it ? What confidenee can we have in one who takes
such a course?
TEE UNION PEOPLE IN THE BORDER STATES
The people of my State, downtrodden and op
pressed by the iron heel of Southern despotism,
appeal to you for protection. They ask you to
protect them against domestic violence. They want
you to help them to put down this unholy and dam
nable rebellion. They call iipen this Government
for the execution of its constitutional duty, to gus
rantj to them a republican form of government,
and to protect them against the tyranny and des.
potism which is stalking abroad. What is the cold
reply? "I am against the entire coercive policy ;
lam not for enforcing the laws." Upon such a
doctrine Government erumbles to pieces. and /map
chy and despotism reign throughout the land.
Indiana, God bless her! is as true to the Union as
the needle is to the pole. She has sent out her
"hordes "—she has sent her thousands into the
field, for what? To sustain the Constitution and
to enforce the laws; and, as they march with
strong arms and brave hearts to relieve a suffering
people, who have committed ito offence save devo
tion to this glorious Union; as they march to the
rescue of the Constitution ' and to extend its bene
fits again to a people who love it dearly, and who
have been ruthlessly torn from under its protect
ing aegis, !what does their Senator say to them ?
4 -
lain against the entire policy of coercion." Do
you ever hear a Senator who thus talks make any
objection to the eXereiSe of unconstitutional and
tyrannical power by the stnealled Southern Con
federacy, or say a word against its !practice of co
ercion ? In all the speeches that have been de
livered on that point, has .one sentence against
usurpation, against despotism, against the exercise
of doubtful and unconstitutional powers by that
Confederacy, been uttered ? °hone ! Have you
heard any objection to their practising not only
coercion, but usurpation? Have they not usurped
government? Have they not oppressed, and
are they not now tyrannizing over the peo
ple? The people of my State are coerced, borne
down, trodden beneath the iron heel of power.
We appeal to you for protection. You stand by
and see us coerced ; you stand by and see tyranny
triumphing, and no sympathy, no kindness, no
helping band can be extended to us. Your Go
vernment is paralyzed ; your Government is power
less ; that which you have called a Government
is a dream, an idle thing. Yon thought you had
a Government, but you had none. My people
are appealing to you for protection under the Con
stitution. They are arrested by hundreds and by
thousands; they are dragged away from their
homes and incarcerated in dungeons: They ask
you for protection. Why do you not give it?
Some of them are lying chained in their lowly
prison-house. The only response to their mur
mur is the rattling and clanking of the chains that
bind their limbs. The only response to their ap
peals is the grating of the hinges of their dungeon.
IVhen we ask for help under the Constitution, we

They are hunted and pursued like the beasts of the
forest by the secession and disunion hordes who are
enforcing their doctrine of coercion. They are shot
or hung for no crime save a desire to stand by the
Constitution of the United States. Helpless chil
dren and innocent females are murdered in cold
blood. Our men are hung and their bodies left
upon the gibbet. They are shot and left lying in
the gorges of the mountains, not even thrown into
the caves there to lie, but are left exposied to puss
through all the loathsome stages of decomposition,
or to be devoured by the birds of prey. We appeal
for protection, and are told by the Senator from In
diana and others, "we cannot enforce the laws;
we are against the entire coercive policy." Do you
not hear their groans? Do you not hear their
cries? Do you not hear the shrieks of oppressed
and downtrodden women and children? Sir, their
tones ring out so loud and clear that even listening
angels look from heaven in pity.
A HISTORICAL INCIDENT
Alluding to the defeat of the Crittenden Com
promise, and the scene in the Senate at the time :
I sat right behind Mr. Benjamin ) and I atli not
sure that my worthy friend was not close by, when
he refused to vote, and I said to him, "Mr. Ben
jamin, why do you not vote ? Why not save this
proposition, and see if we cannot bring the country
to it?" Ho gave me rather an abrupt answer,
and said he would control his own action without
consulting me or anybody else. said I, "vote,
and chew yottimielf au helmet matt." As soon as
the vote was taken, he and others telegraphed
South, "We cannot get any compromise." Here
were six Southern men refusing to vote, when the
amendment would have been rejected by four ma
jority if they had voted. Who, then, has brought
these evils on the country ? Was it Mr. Clark?
Ile was acting out his own policy ; but with the
help we hed from the other side of the Chamber, if
all those on this side had hoes true to the Constitu
tion, and faithful to their constituents, and had
sated with fidelity to the country, the amendment
of the Senator from New Hampshire could have
been voted down, the defeat of which the Senator
from Delaware says would have saved the country.
Whose fault was it? Who is responsible for it? I
think that is not only getting the nail through, but
clenching it on the other side. and the whole staple
commodity is taken out of Elio smell, Wh o did it?
Southern traitors, as was said in the speech of the
Senator from California. They did it. They want
ed no compromise. They aecomplished their ob
ject by withholding their votes; and hence the
country has been involved in the present diffi
culty.
THE REFUSAL OF THE REBELS TO COMFROMISE
When we had it in our power to vote down the
amendment of the Senator from New Hampshire,
and adopt the; Crittenden resolutions, certain South
ern prevented it; and yet, even at a late
day of the session, after they had seceded, the
Crittenden proposition was only lost by one vote.
If rebellion end bloodshed and murder have fol
lowed, to whose skirts does the responsibility at
tach? I summed up all these facts myself in a
speech during the last session ; but I have prefer
red to read from the speech of the Senator from
California, he being better authority, and having
presented the facts better than I could.
What else was done at the very same session'?
The House of Repreeentatives named, and sent to
this body j a proposition to amend the Constitution
of the United States, so as to prohibit Congress
from ever hereafter interfering with the institution
of slavery in the States, making that restriction a
part of the organic law of the land. That constitu
tional amendment came here after the Senators
from seven States had seceded ; and yet it was
passed by a two•third vote in the Senate Rave
you ever heard of any one of the States which
had then seceded, or which has since seceded,
taking up that amendment to the Constitution, and
saying they would ratify it, and make it a part of
that instrument ? No. Does not the whole his
tory of this rebellion tall you that it was revo.
lution that the leaders wanted, that they started
for, that they intended to have ? The facts to which
I have referred show how the Crittenden propo
sition might have been carried ; and when the Se
nators from the slave States were reduced to one
fourth of the members of this body, the two Homes
passed a proposition to amend the Constitution, so
as to 'guaranty to the States perfect security in re
gard to the institution of slavery in all future time,
and prohibiting Congress from legislating upon the
subject.
But what more was done? After Southern Se
nators had treacherously abandoned the CollSkitn
tion, and deserted their posts here, Congress passed
bills for the organisation of three new Territories,
Dakota, Nevada, and Colorado; and in the sixth
section of each of those bills, after conferring, af
firmatively, power on the Territorial Legislature,
it went on to exclude certain powers by using a
negative form of expression : and it provided,
among other things, that the Legislature should
have no power to legislate so as to impair the right
to . private property ; that it should lay no tax dis
criminating against one description of property in
favor of another ; leaving the power on all these
questions not in the Territorial Legislature, but in
the people when they should come to form a State
Constitution,
Now, I ask, taking the amendment to the Con
stitution, and taking the three territorial bills, em
bracing every square inch of territory in the pos
session of the United States, how much of the sla
very question was left? What better compromise
could have been made? Still we are told that
matters might have been comproinised, and that
if we had agreed to compromise, bloody rebellion
would not now be abroad in the land. Sir, South
ern Senators are responsible for it. They stood
here with power to accomplish the result, and yet
treacherously, and, I may say, tauntingly, they
left this Chamber, and announced that they had
dissolved their connection with the Government.
Then, when we were left in the hands of those
whom we had been taught to believe would en
croach upon our rights, they gave us, in the con
stitutional amendment and in the three territorial
bills, all that had ever been asked ; and yet gen
tlemen talk about compromise. Why was not this
taken and accepted? No ; it was not compromise
that the leaders wanted.; they wanted power ; they
wanted to destroy this Government, so that they
might have place and emolument for themselves.
They had lost confidence in the intelligence and
virtue and integrity of the people, and their capa
city to govern themselves ; and they intended to
separate and form a Government, the chief corner
stone of which should be slavery, disfranchising
the great mesa of the people, of which we have seen
constant evidence. and merging the powers of go
vernment in the hands of the few. I know what I
say. I know their feelings and their -sentiments.
I served in the Senate here with them. I know
they were a close corporation, that had no more
confidence in, or respect for, the people than has
the dey of Algiers. I fought that dose corporation
here. I knew that they were no friends of the peo
ple. I knew that Slidell and Mason and Benjamin
and Iverson and Toombs were the enemies of free
government, and I know so now. I commenced
the war upon them before a State seceded ; and I
intend to keep on fighting this great battle before
the country for the perpetuity of free government.
They seek to overthrow it, and to establish a
despotism in its place. That is, the great battle
which is upon our hands. The great interests of
civil liberty and free government call upon every
patriot and every lover of popular rights to come
forward and discharge his duty.
THE STELOGLE FOR WEIGH WE FIGHT
We see this great struggle ; we see that the exer
cise of the vital principle of government itself is
denied by those who desire our institutions to be
overthrown and despotism established on their
ruins. If we have not the physical and moral
courage to exclude from our midst men whom we
believe to be unsafe depositors of public power and
public trust—men whose associates were rolling off
honeyed accents against coercion, and aro now in
the traitor's camp—if we have not the courage to
force these men from our midst, because we have
known them, and have been personal friends with
them for years, we are not entitled to sit here as
Senators ourselves. Can you expect your brave
men, your officers and soldiers, that are now in
4, the tented field," subject to all the hardships and
privations pertaining to a civil war like this, to
have courage, and to march on with patriotism to
crush treason on every battle-field, when you have
not the courage to expel it from your midst? Sot
those brave men an example ; say to them by your
acts and voice that you evidence your intention to
put down traitors in the field, by ejecting thorn
from your midst, without regard to former asso
ciations.
Ido not say these things in unkindness. I say
them in obedience to duty, a high constitutional
duty that I owe to my country ; yes, sir, that I
owe to my wife and children. By your failure to
exercise the powers of this Government, by your
failure to enforce the laws of the Union, I am sepa
rated from those moat dear to me. Pardon me,
sir, for this personal allusion. My wife and chil
dren have been turned into the street, and my
house has been turned into a barracks; and for
what ? Because I stand by the Constitution and
the institutions of the country that I have been
raised to love, respect. and venerate. This is my
offence. Where are my sons-in-law? One today
is lying in prison ; another is forced to fly to tho•
mountains to evade the pursuit of the hell-born and
hell-bound conspiracy of disunion and secession ;
and when their cries come up here to you for pro
tection, we are told, " No ; I am against the entire
coercive policy of the Government."
THE QUESTIOR IN ITS PARTY ASPECT
The speech of the Senator from California the
other day bad the effect in some degree, and seemed
to be intended, to give the question a party tinge. If
I know myself. although, as I avowed before, I am
a Democrat, and expect to live and die one—l know
no party in this great struggle for the existence of
my country. The argument presented by the Sena
tor from California was, thatvre need not be in such
hot pursuit of Mr. Bright, or those Senators who
entertain his sentiments, who are still here, because
we had been a little dilatory in expelling other trai
torous Senators heretofore, and he referred us to
the resolution of the Senator from Maine, [Mr.
Fessenden,l which was introduced at the special ses
sion in March last, declaring that certain Senators
having withdrawn, and their seats having thereby be
come vacant, the Secretary should omit their names
from the roll of the Senate. I know there seemed
to be a kind of timidity, a kind of fear, to make
use of the word 4 r expel " at that time ; but the
fact that we declared the seats vacant, and stopped
there did not preclude us from afterwards passing
a vote of censure. The resolution, which was
adopted in March, merely stated the fact that
Senators had withdrawn, and left their seats va
cant. At the next session, a resolution was intro
duced to expel the other Senators from the seceded
States, who did not attend in the Senate; and my
friend (Mr. Latham) moved to strike out of that
very resolution the word "expelled," and insert
"vacated ;" so that I do not think he ought to be
much offended at it. I simply allude to it to show
how easy it is for us to forget the surrounding cir
cumstances that influenced our action at the time
it took place. We know that a year ago there was
a deep and abiding hope that the rebellion would
not progress as it has done, that it would cease;
and that there might be eireumehmeas which, at
one time, would, to some extent, justify us in al
lowing a wide margin which, at another period of
time, would be wholly unjustifiable.
All this, however, amounts to nothing. We have
a ease now before us that requires our action, and
we should act upon it conscientiously in view of the
facto which are presented. Because we neglected
to expel traitors before, and omitted to have them
arrested, and permitted them to go away freely,
and afterwards declared their seats vacant because
they had gone, we are not now prevented from ex
kielling a Senator who is not worthy to be in the
benate. I do not say that other traitors may
not be punished yet. I trust in God the time
will come, and that before long, when these
traitors can be overtaken in the aggregate, and we
may mete out to them condign punishment, auoh
as their offence deserves. I know who was for
arresting them. I know who declared their con
duct to be treason, here in their midst. I told
them it was treason, and they might make the best
of it they could.
IZEMMEM
Mr. President, I have alluded to the talk about
compromise. If I know myself, there is no one
who desires the preservation of this Government
more than I do ; and I think I have given as much
&deuce as mortal man could give of my devotion
-my wife' in... My property has been sacrificed ;
dears my Eons I,lllm, ~have been turned out of
law has had to run to the Mont my son-i°•
deed a large amount of bonds in trying tirgitWn• - __
evidence of my devotion to the Government under
which I was raised. I have attempted to show you
that on the part of. the leaders of this rebellion
there was no desire to - compromise—compromise
was not what they wanted ; and now the great
issue before the country is the perpetuation or the
destruction of free government. I have shown
bow the resolution of the venerable Senator from
Kentucky (Mr. Crittenden) was defeated, and that
Southern men are responsible for that defeat—six
sitting in their places and refusing to vote. His
proposition was only lost by two votes; and, in the
end, when the seceders had gone, by only one.
Well do I remember, as was described by the Se
nator from California, the sadness, the gloom, the
anguish, that played over his venerable face when
the result was announced ; and I went across the
• chamber and told him that here were men refusing
to vote, and that to me was administered a rebuke
by one of them for speaking to him on the subject.
Now, the Senator from Delaware tells us that if
that compromise had bees made, all these conse
quences would have been avoided. It is a mere
pretence ; it is false. Their object was to overturn
the Government. If they could not get the control
of this GoVernment, they were willing to divide the
country and govern a part of it. TAUS Sot Of OOM
promise now. What, sir, compromise with traitors
with arms in their hands ! Talk about "our South
ern brethren" when they lay their swords at your
throat, and their bayonets at your bosoms !
this a time to talk about compromise? Let me
say, and I regret that I have to say it, that there is
but one way to compromise this matter, and that is
to crush the loaders of this rebellion, and put down
- treason. Yon have got to subdue them ; you have
got to cot qutr them ; and nothing but the sacri
fice of life and blood will do it. The issue is
made. The leaders of rebellion have de
creed eternal separation between you and them.
Those leaders must be conquered, and anew set of
men brought forward who are to vitalize and de
velop the Union feeling in the South. You must
show your courage here as Senators, and impart it
to those who are in the field. If you were now to
compromise they would believe that they could
whip you one to five, and . you could not live in
peace six months, or even three months. Settle the
question now ; settle it well ; settle it finally ; crush
out the rebellion and punish the traitors. I want
to see peace, and I believe that is the shortest way
to get it. Blood must be shed, life must be sacri
ficed, and you may as IYOI begin at first as last. I
only regret that the Government has been so tardy
in its operations. I wish the issue had been met
sooner. I believe that if we had seen as much in
the beginning as we see to-day, this rebellion would
have been wound up and peace restored to the land
by this time.
TILE ?WIT in LOYAL MEN.
• •
But let us go on ; let us encourage the army and
the navy; let us vote the men and the means neces
sary to vitalize and to bring into requisition the en
forcing and coercive power of the Government ; let
us crush out the rebellion, and anxiously look for
ward to the day—God grant it may come soon—
when that baleful comet of fire and of blood, that
now hovers over this distracted people, may be
chased away by the benignant star of peace. Let
us look forward to the time when we can take the
flag, the glorious flag of our country, and nail it
below the cross, and there let it wave as it waved in
THE PRESS.-PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1862.
the olden time, and let us gather around it, and in
scribe as our motto, "Liberty and Union, one and
inseparable, now and forever." Let us gather
around it, and while it hangs floating beneath the
cross, let us exclaim, " Christ first, our country
next." Oh, how gladly rejoiced I should be to see
the dove returning to the ark, indicating that land
was found, and that the mighty storm had abated.
I trust the time will soon come when we can do as
they did in the olden time, when the morning stars
sang together, and all creation proclaimed the
glory of God. Then let us do our duty in the Se
nate, and in the councils of the nation, and thereby
stimulate our officers and soldiers to do theirs.
A Pennsylvanian Defends the Pennsylva ,
nia Troops in Kentucky.
The following letter, which we find in the
Cincinnati Gazette, explains itself
A special correspondent of your paper, writing
from Munfordsville, Ky. ' in describing the oonduot
of certain regiments on the 17th hut., speaks thus
of the Pennsylvanians :
The Seventy-seventh anti the Seventy-ninth
Pennsylvania remained in. the entrenchments.
Four companies of the Nineteenth Pennsylvania
were sent out to make a reconnoissance to Horse
Cave. Arriving at.that point, they heard firing,
which seemed to come from their rear, when they
suddenly conceived lhe idea that it was the enemy,
and that they were likely to be cut off. This was
enough; it is believed the Pennsylvanians became
panic-stricken.
At Horse Cave, where the railroad and turn
pike diverge, part took the turnpike and part the
railroad, coming together again at Rowlett's Sta
tion, Which party it was that despatched the
courier, is not clear ; most likely the party that
returned by the pike. Judge of the mutual sur
prise when they metat Rowlett's. It was supposed
the faring was on our left. and " played the will-o'-
the-wisp caper which so frightened the Pennsylva
nians."
In the hurried retreat of the Pennsylvanians,
they nattered the report that the enemy were ap
proaching to attack us.
These statements are incorrect. Pennsylvanians
little desire that kind of bravery which appears
only in newspapers; but, when a disereditableunpu
tation is cast upon their courage, and bravery, and
military demeanor, they are not willing to pass it
unnoticed, unanswered, or unrebuked.
Now for the facts. On the morning of the 17th
inst. a detachment of one hundred and eighty men
from the Seventy-ninth Regiment P. V., by re
quest, started on a reconnoissance in the direction
of Horse Cave.> At one P. M. distant firing was
beard—musketry soon followed by artillery. Si
multaheou§ly with this a bugle signal was de
tected to proceed from some point in front o;ejour
outlying picket The signal was thought by a bu
gler who was with the remaining companies of the
Seventy-ninth (cm tour of duty at the outposts) to
come from his bugle comrade, who accompanied
the reconnoitring party.
As the shrill tones were transmitted from hill-top
to hill.top, they were ascertained to be the " rally
for skirmishers." Two citizens of Kentucky, and
a captain from the same State, came hurriedly in,
and informed Col. H., commanding the Seventy
ninth, that his scouts were attacked by a superior
force, and also that the enemy was advancing in a
large body. This same Kentucky captain carried
the news to the interior, and not the Pennsylva
11ia2ZS, as asserted by the special correspondent of
the Gazette.
Col H., of the Seventy-ninth, feeling it a duty
to move forward a short distance to the support of
his own scouts, ordered a signal sounded for five
companies to rally into the centre ; also sent a mes
senger t 9 C9l, LI, 9f th 9 tO'retity-Seventh, to Mil
py temporarily the outposts thus rendered vacant.
Two companies of the Seventy-ninth—one on the
right, and the other on the left—remained firmly
at their posts. Regiment after regiment Sled over
the pontoon bridge ; some occupying positions with
in the entrenchments, others passed a few hundred
yards beyond, but aside from the pike, the ap
proaches by which an enemy might have entered
were guarded by unaided Pennsylvanians.
-Your correspondent states that the Seventy
seventh and,Seventy-ninth P. V. remained in the
entrenchments.
This is incorrect. Not a single member of the
Seventy.ninth was, at any time during the excite•
went, within or behind the breastworks. Three
companies of the Seventy-seventh were promptly
placed under the command of Colonel If., of the
Seventy-ninth. The remaining companies were
distributed at the outposts, and held in reserve.
" It is believed the Pennsylvanians were panic
stricken," undoubtedly, by your correspondent,
who seems to have been on the north side of the
river, at least two miles from any danger. Let us
see. The reconnoitring party proceeded to Horse
Cave, and was welcomed, or rather greeted, there
as the first detachment of the Federal army.
The scouts returned in good order, in a body,
were not alarmed, neither were they aware any
alarm had been given. Those led by Col. H. to
aid his detachment marched southward about two
miles, when an eclat messenger ordered the
forces to retreat.
Col. 11. directed no one to transmit intelligence
to headquarters, and was really astonished to learn
upon his return that the whole division was called
out to repel an attack.
From the above, it is clear that the "will-o'-
wisp's caper" did not frighten the Pennsylva
nians ; and, as no retreat was made, the statement
that the report of the enemy's approach being
scattered, merges into the common error that dis
tinguishes your correspondent's letter.
" They met at Rowlett's Station." No such thing.
They met at the point et' starting, nue are Ad
folds. Your readers may decide the question of
cowardice for themselves. It is to be regretted that
any falsehoods, so grave in their tendency, should
ever have emanated from military sources. Doubly
so when we reflect that, although from many States,
we are one soldiery, enlisted under one banner,
ready to bathe its glorious folds in the warmest
blood of our bosonis, and as one people looking
down to futurity for the benefits and blessings
which those who now fight our battles must secure.
Pennsylvanians have a profound contempt for un
earned laurels. They
i do not covet plaudits un
deserved, but their indignation at this wanton
assault upon their courage and valor can be better
imagined than described.
They claim (and challenge dispute) to have gone,
at this date, several miles further into the enemy's
country than any other troops in the central divi
sion ; never to have been caught in a trap ; never to
have bad buildings or wood fired within two hundred
yards of their picket-lines; never to have permitted
the destruction of property in full view of their posts.
I hare much to speak of the noble manner in which
Ohio and other Western States responded to the
call for succor from loyal Kentucky. I have much
to speak of Kentucky herself; of all the generals, but
still more to say to your readers, that, under the lead
ership of the accomplished General Negley and three
gallant colonels, the Pennsylvanians propose to
carve their fortunes by deeds, and to write the glad
or mo-ergsful tale of their military earner with
their swords. A PENNSYLVANIAN.
