had suffered. and suffered dsproporonately in supplying

that the failure to extend the protection OF law over that sec

The Clay FESTIVAL at Niblos last evening was
magnificent. The largest dining saloon 1--WE be-
lieve) in our city was crowded to its utmost capa
city by the intelligence and political chvalry of our
city, eager to do honor to the memory of him who
Of all living men has most served and honored his
country. Every alluson to the name or career of
Mr.. Clay elected the most fervent peals of enthu-
siasm, giving new proof that the great Kentuck-
ian possesses the most unbounded sway over the
hearts of the Wings. and especially the Wing young
men, of city The presence and response OF
Mr.. Cays senatorial compatriot, Hon. James
Cooper, Of Pennsylvania, added much to the inte-
rest of the festival.
We regretted the mistake in two of the
oasts, and broadly in of the songs of the
evening, Of blending with the honors 80 nobly
earned by and SO heartily paid to Mr. Clay. alIu-
sions to the questions now engaging the Senate
and agitating the Union with respect to Slavery,
California, and the Territories, in manner which
seemed to make acquiescence in particular mode
of settling these questions test Of regard for Mr.
Clay. We are confident that this was regretted
and disapproyed by very large portion OF those
present. In this in all other topics of great ma
tiona interest, shall best evince appreciation
of Mr. Clay's lofty career, not by blind and SER
vile adoption Of his opinions and views, but by i'm
itating him in fearless and self forgetting fidelity
to our own convictions of right and duty.

Unfortunate Occurrence.

An unfortunate difficulty took place recently near
the Blue Licks between person named Kennedy,
and young named Campbell a student of
the Kentucky Military Institute. II appears from
the card of Col johnson, the superintendent of the
institute, that on Saturday, the I'd instant, Cadet
Campbell obtained leave of absence for himself and
three of his fellow Students to visit Forest Retreat
the residence of his grandfather, Governor Met
calf, On Sunday, as they were returning, about
four O'Clock, p. m, they called in at Mr.. Ken
nedy's, on the road side, 10 buy some eggs.
surly negro woman met them at the door and re-
fused them admittance, on the ground that some
of their comrades had shot one OF her chickens
some two or three weeks before, while on hunt
ing excursion in that vicinity. This alteration
brought out the old gentleman, gun in hand, from
his room adjoining, and he ordered them off his
lot. On returning the dog made at them, and they
began to pelt him in self-defence. This 30 exas-
them if they did not disappear Immediately.
Whereupon young Campbell squared himself and
dared him to shoot. The old gentleman raised his
gun, and took deliberate aim and shot young
Campbell in the breast and face, at the distance OF
twenty eight yards. Fifty odd shot have been
taken out and the young man is now well.
After being shot, he walked some distance, but
unable to proceed, his comrades procured convey
ance and took him to his quarters He was visited
by several of his friends the same evening, who be-
came greatly exaggerated at the severity with
which be had been treated by neighbor, for what
they considered a very slight provocaton.
The feeling soon spread throughout the neigh
borhood and ripened into plans OF revenge. Mr..
Kennedy called out after he had gone TO bed and
severely belabored by two men, whom he could not
recognise in the dark, but they were full grown,
athletic men. Colonel Johnson states that the Ca
