THE LATE WHIPPING BY OBDEB
Or OUR PBOVOBT MA.RBHAL.
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. A few more snch
as the one complained of, hap
pening m each community, wcnld cause
onr people to awake to the dangers and
artifieea which are, i n the name of neces-'
«ty, fast depriving them of their liberties

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.

I The hills surrounding this warlike v,l
: liage are being fortified, of course. 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.

Mr, toward Prophesying War, j
It is uo ie“n strange than true, and do
icfi-'i «ftd than strange,. that the adminifl-1
tration ne:na to know the feelings of the
people. 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

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

Opinion. —ln the case of aged or in
firm parents having two or more sons sub

sons of snch parents is already in military
service, the other is exempt, provided his
parents are dependent .on his labor for
their support.
OP PERSONS HAVING CONSCIENTIOUS SORT

Persona having conscientious scruples
in regard to bearing arms are not on that
account exempt. They are not found in
the list of exempted classes, and the act
expressly declares that no persona except
those enumerated in that list shall be. ex -1

others entertaining similar sentiments, i(
dratted, may find relief from their scruples
in the employment of substitutes, or in

Opimon. 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

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.

Opinion— In the <-aae of a father having
four sons, two ol whom have died in the
military service, it seems clear that the
remaining two are not exempt from the
drafu ftefore such exemption' can be al
lowed it must be shown that the father
has not had two sons In the military ser
vice, so the law is written. Congress
might well have accepted the loss of two
sons in the field as equivalent to their con
tinuance irt the service, and therefore se
curing the same privileges to their lami
ly ; but this bas not been done. To hold
otherwise would not bo interpretation, hut
legislation.
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.
The right of this exemption does not rest
upon the parents' dependence on the la
bor of their sons for support. The law
doeß not contemplate any such depen
dence.

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

Ruggles is at Columbna, Mississippi;
Cnalmera is at West Point, and Tippah on

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.

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
