KENTUCKY VOLUNTEERS.
For several days past, Volunteers from various parts of the state have been marching through our town, to join the army under gov. Harrison. Men more hardy and determined, or more capable of braving the fatigues of an active campaign, we have never seen. They are the sons and true representatives of those old warriors, who first conquered and defended and then settled Kentucky. They will support the reputation which Kentucky has acquired for valour and patriotism. They know, they fight in a just cause, and are eager to avenge upon our enemies the wrongs done to our country.
We were much pleased to see Mr. McKee and Mr. Montgomery in the ranks as private soldiers. Mr. McKee had voted in Congress for the war, and now proves the sincerity of his professions, by offering his blood and life to his country's service. Mr. Montgomery is a new member of that body: and his present conduct affords testimony of what we may expect in time to come.
