Upon the announcement of a citizen having been stripped and cowhidcd by order of onr Provost Marshal, we heard the expression of its condemnation from persons who had previously been insensible to the horrors of similar outrages: and, Bince its perpetration we have received a number of commnnications inquiring if the people are to Bubmit to such enormi ties hereafter? We have foreborne, until the present, to allude to the subject in question, forthe very palpable reason, that if we had given expression to our ieel ings when the outrage was perpetrated, many of those who are now indignant would attribute our conduct to partisan considerations. Our silence, therefore, has given these an opportunity to reflect upon the beauties of arbitrary power. But let ub look a little further. This ease of whipping is simply an outrage to which no man can submit, if even a poltroon, public opinion will not permit him to rest quiet under snch disgrace. The poor man, himself, felt the degradation about to be inflicted, when he asaed to be shot, in preference' to surviving it. This mode of punishment was years ago considered too brutal for even the punishment of the worst of sail ors; and the whipping-post was long since abolished as a relic of barbarism. Bat after fully considering these facts, together with the Btaoning circumstance of our Provost Marshal having no authority, more than we have, to strip and whip a citizen, we are compelled to attribute the outrage to the numerous precedents estab lished by the Administration. This eon duot of Captain Foster is no worse than that of other Provosts, who have dragged men from their families and incarcerated them in prisons without a hearing. It is no worse than the outrage perpetrated by Gen. Bnrnside upon the once old Commonwealth of Kentucky, in declaring martial law, lor the purpose of robbing her citizens of their suffrages. It is no worse than the Administration sending home, from the army, three thousand soldiers to carry the last election in Connecticut; nor is it any worse than the dismissal from the ser- j vice of Lieut. Etheridge, a gallant New Hampshire officer, lor the offense of voting the Democratic ticket. These and similar outrages have been frequent throughout the country for two years, and we regret to be compelled to Btate that they have in every case been justified by some of ihose who are now shocked at onr Provost's mode of punishment. How is this? How happens it that these people, whose big American boßoms are now swelling with indignation,becanse of a particular outrage lmve been tor two years, totally insensi ble to a multitude of crimes perpetrated in all quarters of the country ? For de noncing these infamies, we, instead,of be ing commended, have only received con-- demnationand persecution. Onr opposi tion to them has been used by brainlesß Abolitionists, as evidences of disloyalty to onr government; and the genius of onr Union League has been taxed and invok ed to devise some means to prevent oriti" ciam of, and fitting comment upon, such palpable usurpations. Bnt as we had no proper conception of the terrors of war, until our own homes were lately threatened by rebel invasion, so we had no feeling for the countless vic tims of. arbitrary power throughout the country, until a caße occurred under our own observation. We now have a taste | as well as an idea of what “ military ne- j eessity ”is; we now have a practical il lustration of Bitting aside all law and trampling upon constitutions, if, in the es timation of some ass in authority, they be required to carry out his infamous designs either upon the citizen or the State. W© trust that this act of our Provost will canse some of our most violent advo cates of military and martial law, to re flect upon their conduct. Had they heard of some runaway slave in South Carolina being captured and whipped, as one of our own citizens has, in violation of all law, they would see in it another of the enor mities of the slave system. We treat that their sensibilities will hereafter be equally sensitive in vindication of the rights of their fellow citizens. Let them remember alio, thstiftbey do not check these mili tary nsnrpations and oppressions, that they may not be entirely free fronrithe conse qnences. License, and disregard for law, upon the part of those in power, suggests insubordination and outrage? The Ad ministration, at Washington, and its prin cipal supporters, throughout the Union are responsible for creating the spirit which prompted the late shameful crime against a .citizen. Had not precedents been established and jnstified, onr City wonld not now he subject to the lasting infamy she is. They have long taught the people military necessity, bnt that doc trine is too much to die borne even in days as degenerate as these.

Election was Carried. POST. Covington, August 5, 1 .To the Editor of the Enquirer fhave.read in the Commercial, Times *' age Uf ; ..tlie rejoicing overthe area! mon victory in Kentucky.,- I have also looked i but looked in vain) tor some article in your paper this morning, con cerning the way that the election was car ried. And wishing our Democratic friends m the Norrh to know the measures that were adopted by the Union party to carry their pomt, 1 will relate a few of the incidents that occurred at one of the polls on Mon day. These, are strictly true, having been an eye witness to some of them myself, and learning the rest, from mithoritu that cannot he doubted. The I nion League, not content with the proclamation of General Hoyle and Pro voat Marshal Berry, nor satislied with Ueneral Burnside proclaiming martial law and his instructions to the judges at the polls, hut still tearing the tremendons majority that they knew the Democratic ticket would have had if justice had been done, they placed at the polls a ”4 pound cannon and a guard o) soldiers {-perhaps to keep order, bat more probably to in timidate Democratic voters). But even this was not a safeguard ; so they brought up a reinforcement of I 'rounders” from the mills to challenge the vote of gentle men. The resalt was as follows : A young man, jof the best family i on asking tor a Democratic ticket, was asked if he was willing to take the oath laid down by the Legislature; he assented, when one ot the bullies thrust a Bramlette ticket into his face with ''Damn yon, if you don’t vote this tioket yon shan’t vote at all, for wedon't intend to allow any damned Bui tsrmU ticket to be voted at these polls,” and so the voter was driven away without voting at all. Another man voted all the Union ticket until he came to Congress maQ > when he requested to vote for Men ziea in place of Smith; the result was he was knocked down, badly beaten, and driven away. Another was treated the same way, because he preferred Richard eon to Benton. Hat, Mr. Editor, the moat shameful act of all was the knocking down of an old gentleman, between seventy and eighty year 3 o! age, merely because he wished to exercise the same right he so often had before exercised, that of voting for whom and as he thought best. Such incidents occarred at all the pulls yesterday, but I have given a few exam ples of the tyranny that, was exercised at £>?!<? o/ the pulls, and only such as 1 can prove. The result is as was expected.— ‘ln a ward that baa formerly polled hun dreds of Democratic votes, only eighteen have been polled this election. Still it is a glorious rictori/. Jn days gone by, when it was considered an honor to be an American, we consid ered it a still greater honor to be called a Kentuckian ; we were always proud of the honor, chivalry and justice that me thought formed a pari of hn-sr/i . it may be that on account af this ve;y State pride tbe Pivine Providence has seen iit to hu miliate us as He has done. Our only hope in this dark hour is that his anger may be of short duration, and that soon again Kentucky wHI recover the proui! position she has lost.

Per haps the purpose is to keep the men em ployed more than aoy other design. - Chattanooga is already defensible enough naturally. Besides there is not much likelihood that it will ever be attaeked.—' No point on the border is safer from aids. Its surroundings are admirably adapted for successful defence. The river in its bend from the base of Lookout Mountain, almost encircles it, leaving but a short apace ot perhaps half a mile from one bend to the other, which might be traced with a line oi earthworks, whic h would render it a complete fortress. The hills ol Chattanooga ascending from thej liver, are higher than those of Vicksburg, and command the opposite bank for miles back to the bade ol the Cumberland range. On the hill back of the cemetery, a fort, commenced some time since, under the supervision of Major Necuet, of the Top ographical Kngineer corps, is being com pleted- Fatigue parties paBS through the town daily to work on the trenches. The country above and below this point is so I crossed with creeks, ridges and almost impassible ravines, that a raid upon this point by even a very large body of incur-1 stoniats would be attended with many I difficulties, which would endanger the sue-1 cess of such an enterfriae, if the party at- I tempting it were not captured before they could even-make the assault. ' I A late letter from Washington lu the droy, IS. Whig, infrma ns that Mrs. Lincoln is recovering from her compound fracture of the cerebellum, caused by being thrown from her carriage, and is now drawing her rations out at the Sol diers Home. Abraham rides out to see her every evening, accompanied by a heavy cavalry escort; it is rumored that, Mrs. L , after the most cruel anxiety and I hesitation, has concluded to have her I summer dresses made up “biased,” with Bhort necks and low sleeves. Tut: Dubuque (Iowa) Times publisher the following: “Un the 28(h of June a gentleman residing in Galena, a warm per sonal friend of Gen. Grant, received a let ter from the commander of the troops be fore Vicksburg, in which was inclosed an invitation to a dinner to be given on the 4th day of Jnly, ISCM, at ,1 p. m., by U. S. Grant. The Galena gentleman is willing I to stake his fortune that Grant dined in Vicksburg at the time appointed.” A t a rod of one hundred and sixty-five mules from Montivede— the first ever im ported into this country Irom that port— reached New York on Monday in the ship Leonidas, Daring a passage of fifty-seven days, but six of the mules died.

Here is the President of the Lnited States officially bidding us thank heaven for the Dearprospeet of peace, and the Secretary of State in the same breath calling upon us aemi-offici&Hy to prepare for war, wilder and worse ihau ever yet we have waged. The Secretary of State we say, for the article from the National Republican which the telegraph throws this morning like a bomb into all the circles and church es o! the land bears too conspicuously the u strawtwry mark” of its origin to be cast aside as a foundling, Mr. Seward “semi officially,” as it were “disfiguring or presenting” a linn cornea and roars a most terrible roar. Mr. Solioifor-of-the-War- Department Wh.Lrn;, wo are left to infer, has gone to England, not as a solicitor, but as a pur suivant. a sort of Rogue-Sanglier, hearing detianea of war in his red right hand. On the “slightest occasion;" on the least ap roach to the metaphorical knocking off of a hypothetical chip from the imaginary left shoulder of Columbia, we are to plunge into a fresh and fearful centest with Eng land. Our steam marine, disdaining the Fioridas and Alabamas and Georgias of the confederates, is to pounce directly upon Ihe commerce of the country from which the Fioridas and Alabamas and Georgias have sallied out to harass us, and m a short time, in very much less time, no doubt, than " sixty days," is to Bweep the meteor, flag of Britain from the seas. Whether, after accomplishing this “job," our steam mam .- under the orders of the vigorous and vivacious Welleß, will im mediately return to receive the homage of a nation’s gratitude and aid in enforcing the Conscription law, or whether it will be allowed to finish the good work by dis posing of the confederate cruiserß which have skirted our coasts for two years past, does not yet appear so clearly as one might wish. I.et us be satisfied, however with one thing at a time. We may not be able to suppress the confederates at sea, but if we can annihilate the British on that element ,t will be a creditable thing to do R Mnch injustice barf been done Mr. Sew ard uf late. He baa been thought, for in atauee, lo have shrunk from asserting the tradumuhl American policy in the face of the breach invasion in Mexico, blow lit tie 01,1 tnose who cherished such a notion understand the miDgled subtlety and spirit of our premier ! Tne old proverb bids us • beware the anger of a patient man," and Mr. Seward incarnates the warning in his character and his course, He has not interfered with the French advance into Mexico ; he will not interfere with the consolidation of French power in Mexico ; he will smile serenely upon the establish ment of an empire in Mexico, because he remembers, yes remembers, what we all in onr impatience are forgetting, "the great Wt ‘ ran lQ rn the French out of Mexico and re-establish the republic there whenever we think fit so lo do. The no torious facility with which French armies can he dispersed, and the acknowledged tendency of Napoleon 111. to do as he is hid, are sufficient guarantees that, in for bearing immediately to eject Gen. Forey from Mexico, Mr. Seward is actuated by no unworthy motives whatever. The designs of France being apparent, 11 is not worth while lo compel that power to unmask them. Hut b.uglaud, perfidious England, is in quite another ease. She has exhibited such an indisposition to fight us, that it is evident she must be concealing some deep design against us, and Mr. Seward means to force her band. If, after all, it should turn out that she does not mean to fight us, that she pre fers not to have her commerce swept from the ocean: that she will adjust the quea t‘°ns in issue between us, at least we shall have seen that the semi-official valor of onr Secretary of State is of so high astrain that -.veie it not tempered by official dis cretion, the whole world had long ere this been overshadowed l.v the wings ol our eagle. V\ lira language can adequately describe the satisfaction which this faith ought to give us ’ fo our Celtic population partieularly, and to all such persons as have been in dimed to abstain from volunteering, to be drafted, mainly by their fears that they sonld not have enemies enough to fight the pleasing hope of a war with England and the confederates combined will de scend blip sweet shoWs upon frogß in marshes parched with August heat, lhey will swarm to the front of battle, and shout Ila. ha ' among the enrolling officers 1 his result of his “semi official" manifes t ?,, B '. of ( ' 0 . 0r3e ' never entered as a pos- Bible thing info the calculation of the premier; hot we are confident the sugges tion of it will not displease him. There will naturally be persons found in the country so incapable of appreciating true statesmanship as to question the wis dorn and to doubt the propriety ol "semi official" declarations of war. It may even occur to such persons to reserve their belief of the consternation caused in court circles abroad, by Ur. Seward’s decisive attitude Until further and more explicitly advised. Such persons as these are to be looked for among the responsible classes ol the community, the people whose habits of life breed in them the cheap vir- P .u Ud< ii nC c and J'gn'ty, and hamper in them the (lights of the imagination.— lhe only comfort we can condescend to offer to such persons is the consideration n iJj 6reaa Mr. Seward now semi offici ■ l rT 8 , us P ro Pare for an immediate war With England, even so in December, 1860 i Mr. Seward semi-officially bade us prepare i tor an immediate peace with the South.

The children of an insane mother, who may, at anytime, recover her reason, cannot in the sense of the law, or with any propriety of language, be tsrmed motherless children. The father of such, though they may be dependent on his labor for their Bupport, cannot, there* fore, claim exemption from the draft.— The case is a hard one, and would proba bly have been provided for, had it been foreseen, it is, however, the law as it is and not as it may be supposed it ought to be, that is to be so enforced.

Iq the case ol aged and infirm parents I having two bods subject to military duty, the father, or if he be dead, the mother may elect which of them shall be exempt.

MAINE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION The Rebels Fear the Pal «f Charleston. Memphis, August 4. -The steamer Hope has arrived, bringing prisoners from Port Hudson, Vicksbnrg and Jackson. Every thing was quiet on the river below. C'ol. Hatch reports Forrest, Biffles and Wilson retreating, their forces entirely broken np and their men deserting in every direction. Col. Hatch has divided his forces and is scouring the country, picking np all small squads he can find. A sront that left Meridian on Saturday and IIL-okma on Snnday, reports John ston’s army at Enterprise and Brandon, under direct command of Hardee. Most of the forces at the former place are ready to move at any moment, cars standing on the side track ready to move at a momouit’s notice. Johnston went to Mobile on the 27th. The scout thinks the rebels will remain where they are, unless Mobile is attacked, and says John ston has lost lOjOOOtnen by desertion since the fall of Vicksburg, and the remainder of his force is terribly demoralized. They are poorly fed, and officers and men great ly disheartened. Rebels it- official circles acknowledge that Morris Island will be taken. A great mtiny secret societies have been organized with the intention of bringing the State back into the Union, and officers are arresting citizens and soldiers for be ing connected with them. Ruggles is at Columbna, Mississippi; Cnalmera is at West Point, and Tippah on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. The late conscript act will not avail much in the Southwest. ihe Mobile News of the 30th, has a leader on despondents and croakers, and tells the citizens to “avoid them as they would a pestilence.” It states that Grant's army has mostly gone to Virginia, where the great final struggle is to take place, and callß upon the citizens of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia to join Bragg and Johnston, aod all will be well. We are at the point when this Confederacy should throw everything into the scales, and turn the tide of this fatal campaign ; that Lin coln can put no more men into the field, and if they only checked the Yankees now he 13 used up, and the revolution at the North at an end.” The article closes up very bitterly as Follows: J ‘ \Ve have to choose between the whip of the slave or the whip oi the master. Choose ye. Among recent arrivals from Europe, is Pierre Soule, who says he is not sanguine of mediation movements by the emperor of France, on the oi-onnd of popnlarity in Mexico.” A'*Richmond telegram of July 28thsays • ’in the fight at Manassas Gap we lost twenty-three hnndred in killed and woun ded, when we retreated, overpowered by superior numbers.” ' ahe Mobile News of Jnly 3,lst says edi ,? rl r/ : “ Grßnt ’ B conduct in parolling ’ tcksburg prisoners is being investigated, and hopes hia head will be cntoff, for he could not have struck a heavier blow to the confederacy. Pemberton's army dia persed. and Teias and Alabama troops then crossed the Mississippi river, and are lost beyond reeall. The whole mass of them were precipitated npon Johnston’s camp to eat his stores, and to discourage and decimate his ranks, and n»w they are ordered to report to the samo officers as last as they are exchanged, which they will cut do, as they hate how we r»ur it upon record. If Pemberton is assigned to the command of that army again it°will be r.univalent to its annihilation, not a title of it will be eyer gathered again to togethe. Poeti.svs. Me., August 6.- The Demo cratic State ( onvention met to day. Nine hundred delegates were present.

Second—The Union was formed in fra ternity and concession, and cannot exist in the absence of that brotherly spirit. third—We will earnestly support every constitutional measure tending to preserve he Union of the States. therefore; support the present Adminis tration, whose course is the destruction of the I mion and the Government. hourth—The war is now being conduct ed not for the restoration of the Union, but for the abolition of slavery and the destruction oi the republic. Fifth—Under our form of government, our sovereign power is vested in the peo pie, andl rests on no other foundation than their will. The people are the only lawful sovereignly, whose public functionaries' are servants. Sixth-On the part of the Kebel States, if a disposition is shown to return to the Union, they should be wel comed back with all their dignity, equality and rights unimpaired. The seventh res olution denounces arbitrary arrests. The I eighth asserts freedom of speeeh and of the press.
