Second Despatch.
PARIS, Ky, Sept. 20.
There was on immense assemblage present on
the ground, which was variously estimated at
from thirty to fifty thousand persons--a large
proportion of them being LADIES. A vast circle
was formed on the grounds, tho ladies inside,
twelve deep, with a platform in the centre, to
which the General and his suite were conducted.
On reaching the stand, the Hon. g. W. Will
liams on behalf Of the Bourbon Agricultural So
cietN spoke rs follows
Fellow citizens, gentlemen of the Bourbon Ag-
ricutural Society, and ladies: The agreeable
duty deyolyes on me to introduce to your ac-
quaintance Generals Scott Wool, and Lawson.
These are the men who, by their ilustrious deeds,
have Illuminated the pages OF our nations histo-
ry, and whose names are as familiar to us as
ehod words. In war, in the hardest fought
battles for their eountry's rights, they have won
a distinction for military skill and heroism which
challenge a world to excel In their place as
private citizens, they have been as celebrated for
their virtues. As patriots and as statesmen they
deserve to wear, and they do wear, the civic
wreath. With us, to be permitted to enjoy their
presence, in the midst of the fair handiWork of
| our wives and daughters, and of the evidence Of
our skill az agriculturists, is and ought to be
proud and delightful General, on behalf of the
Bourbon Agricultural Society, greet you with
warm and heartfelt welcome, enthusiasm,
and bid you welcome to our hospitality, so far as
we can extend it to you on an occasion Of this
character, We trust that it may prove welcome
to you, and that you may find that which will
prove that we ARE not behind the age in which
we live, in that pursuit to Which we have de-
voted our liyes--the cultivation of the soil
After the applause had subsidized, Gen. Scott
rose, and was greeted by hearty outburst Of
enthusiasm He said: Mr.. President and Cen
tlemen Directors, my fair country women and
fellow-citi2ens Of Kentucky in general 1t is
proud thing for me, as well as my associates in
arRls to stand before you on an occasion like the
present. 1t is one of the most agreeable Incl
dents of my life that CHANGED to be here at this
time; for, until approached this immediate Vi
cnity, | was not aware of the grand assemblage
about to take place in this central part of Bour-.
bon county. The pleasure being unexpected, is
SO much the more gratifying to my feelings. In
respect to the eloquent address just spoken in
honor OF nay associates and myself, it is enough
to say we are grateful and most thankful for the
hospitality extended to us,
|. have known something of the events Of Ken
lucky before now. Your eloquent president. has
alluded TO the deeds of arms of the three old SOL
| dlerH who are now before you. Gentlemen, Ken
lucky IS not the place in which to ground claims
to extraordinary distinction in deeds Of arms.
Military heroes are too general among her citi-
| zens. Through the wars with Great Britain, and
more recently with Mexico, they have been dis
tnguished on every field, and have, by their va
Tor, contributed greatly to the success cphe
American arms. Upon this SOIL then, and in
such an assembly as this, it is vain for any SOL
| der to lay claim to unusual distinction among
men who are born to arms, and ever great in
deeds of arms. | need not make any reference
to my poor faculties rs public speaker-facul-
ties which have never had opportunity or in
cliuation to cultivate Again am | reminded
| that | now before citizens who excel all
| others in their power Of oratory, and in their
able, statesman-like qualities. 1t is indeed a
happy thing to find ourselves in the midst Of n
presence such rs this in Kentucky, celebrated for
the beauty of her forests, for the fertility of her
soil, celebrated, in fact, for everything, great in
the growth Of Cattle great in the growth OF
horses, and still greater in the growth of women
and me- of the first eminenCe and worth. Oh,
that had n voice to reach you all Oh that
had some of those gifts of eloquence which
would enable me to convey to you the warmth
and sincerity of my feelings My country-women
and countrymen now, in my view, viii, however,
understand and appreciate these feelings, and
receive my heartfelt thanks for the kindness they
have extended TO me.
The General concluded amidst very enthusias-
tic cheers,
Gen Wool was called for and said it was not
! characteristic Of him to be taken by surprise rs
he certainly was on this occasion, not on account
| Of he'hosPitalty of Kentuckans, when he knew
TO be as generous IS brave, but because of unex-
pected honors conferred upon him. These he
attributed TO the fact Of his being now travelling
on public business, in company with one SO dis
| tinguished as their chief. He alluded briefly and
| happily TO Harry of the West" and other bril-
liant names in the history Of the State, and was
much npplauded throughout his address.
| The exhibition of articles in domestic industry
offered for premiums was then proceeded with
The display was usually fine for this State, and
spoke well for the industry and taste Of the Ken
lucky ladies.
! Gen. Scott and suite remain on the ground,
and are engaged in viewing articles and receiving
/ ntroductiOns.

Gen. Scott left Paris yesterday. He had spent
all the morning beneath the burning sun, exam

He reached the neghborhood Of Lexington about
five o'clock, and was met by Gen. Leslie Coombs
ana deputau0n OF the citizens, who induced
him to descend from his carriage and enter the
town on horseback. On reaching the city Gen.
Coombs welcomed him in brief speech. Gen.
A Scott replied, thanking the citizens for their
warm reception, but excusing himself from max
ing lengthy address on the plea Of excessive ia
tigue. In the course of his speech he aude.
\ touchingy to Clay's death, and was evidently
much affected. /" His warm personal friend" he
said, 81 am here almost in sight of the vene-
rated shades of Ashland, and of the last resting
place of the greatest of American statesmen. TO
stand in such spot must be sufficient to affect
any one acquainted with the public character
