arrival approached their foes anXious,y prcpar-

pots containing sulphur, Others with torches of pine

The sun was lost to our view, yet not pigeon had

gazing on the clear sky, which appeared in gimpses
amidst the tall trees. Suddenly there burst forth
general cry of"Hcro they come" The noise

The pigeons arriving by thousands, alighted
every where, one above another, until solid masses
as large as hogSheads were formed on the branches
all around Here and there the perchcs gave way
under the weight with crash, and falling TO the
ground destroyed hundreds of the birds beneath
forcing down the dense groups with which every
stick was loaded. Il was of uproar and
confusion. l found it quite useless to speak, or
even to shout TO those persons who were nearest
TO me. Even the reports of the guns were seldom
heard, and was made aware of the firing only by
seeing the shooters reloadng No one dared venture
within the line OF devastation. The hogs had bean
penned up in due time the picking up of the dead

l was anxious to know to what distance the sound

miles distant from the spot. Towards the approach

KENTUCKY SENATOR.

We republish the vote for Senator, from the
Commentator extra. We have learned no particu-
lars, but we infer from the following note from q
friend at Frankfort, that the Jacksonians made des.
Perate efforts TO postpone the election, for the pur-
pose doubtless of getting partial instructions from
some of the counties to paralyse certain members.
FRANKFoRT, 10th Nov. 1881.
have only moment to say to you, that the long
agony is over, and Mr. Clay is elected Senator over
r. M. Johnson, by majority of nine votes. The
Jackson men died hard. / have never seen moro
generalship manifested in my life to postpone the
election; for what object can't conjecture, de-
feat inevitable.
We glad that Mr.. Clay is elected on every
account; on his own account, because spportuni-
ties will be afforded him in the Senate of explain-
ing his views of national policy, of removing the
prejudices of many who have come into the public
councils since he left them, and of disarming the
tongue of systematic, calculating and rewarded
SANDER On account of the country--because the
approaching session of Congress is far more impor-
tant than any of its predecessors-becaase Dues
tons will be agitated involving the existence of the
Union, and demanding the whole stock of public
virtue and experience happily to dispose of them
because we know Mr.. Clay to be animated by the
most compromising and conciliatory spirit towards
the great interests whose enemy he has been called
and because knowing his inclination TO corrss-
pond with his ability, to be useful, augur tho
most favorable results from his exertons-the final
and pacific disposition Of the harassing disputes
about the Tariff and Improvements, the removal
of all of enmity between the North and
South, the East and West, and finally the re-es-
Enlistment of the Union on 4 basis moro firm AID
solid than ever.
His enemies will give him credit for no PATRIOTS
purpose, for dsinterosted intentions towards the
Union. Already his election assaulted corrupt,
and his presence in the Senate denounced as de-
signing; will these persons agree to await the evil
dence of events2 Will they suffer Mr.. Clay'u in
tentions to be judged by his labors2 Will they
wait to what he shall do, before they begin tho
work of dctraction and poison the public mind
against him? Thus much is due to fair play, and
to the juncture in public affairs, which demands
some concession from every friend of his country.

u The Telegraph, laboring inccssantly to in
duce the withdrawal of Mr.. Clay and tho substtu
tion of MIR. Calhoun, predicted that tho Jackson
party in the Kentucky Legislature would acqui
csce in MIR. Clays election to the Senate as an en-.
enlargement to his continuing u candidate for tho
Presidency. The event falsifies tho prophecy.
Will Gen. Green now BIO convinced, that it is Mr..
Clay whom their mutual enemies consider formida-
BILE, not Mr.. Calhoun? Will he be persuaded at
last, that Henry Clay is the means of driving
Lewis and Kendall from the Presidency? Will Mr.
Calhoun and his friends, persist in rendering in
directly the most efficient aid e-cect his mortal
enemy, his vindictive traduccr, the man who has
repaid his services with the prescription of himself
and all his friends; whose rule they pronounce a
blighting and whitening curse upon the character
and prosperity of the American people? Or, still
diskng Mr.. Clay, will their acts correspond to the
wishes of their hearts, and secretly preferring him
to the mbecile old man who goes through the blank
forms of the Presidency while Kendall and Lewis
enjoy the substance of power, will they contribute
their assistance in the only effectual way to ae-
complish the inclination of their minds2 Nous
