KENTUCKY FOR THE UNIoN.-A large
Union meeting was held at Maysyille,
Ky, recently, at which the following
strong Union declarations were adopted !:
That the destruction of the Union would
involve ourselves and our posterity in
calamities and woes not to be contem-
plated withoutRhorro
That it would resolve the States into
conditions of frightful chaos, and dread
full discord.
That the stronger States would become
Jealous rivals and belligerent antagonists,
in continual peril of actual or construc-
tive war.
That the feebler States would infalli-
bly, become, from pure necessity, the
mere satellites or the prey Of the stronger
or the degraded allies, or the conquered
provinces of foreign despotism.
That in either alternative, the rights,
the liberties and happiness of the people
would be subject to the arbltrament OF
unsympathizing masters, and so restrain
ed, diminished and oppressed, as to re-
duce once proud and Independent nation
of freemen, to the condition of an igno-
minous and degraded race.
That the dissolution of the Union would
cure no evil-repel no aggression-right
no wrong-diminish no alarm--indemni-
fly no damage bat on the contrary would
prove the sum of all evils, for it would
bring not remedy but ruin.
That it would be crime against man
kind in blighting the last hope of man s
capacity to secure the blessings of self
government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
SENATE.

Senate met at the usual hour.
Mr.. Rice presented the credentials of Nor.
ton s Wilkinson, Senator elect from Mime
sofa, from the fourth of March 1859. He was
duly sworn and took his seat.
Mr.. Iversen introduced bill to amend
the act establishing the Court of Claims.
Mr.. Lane introduced "a bill to increase the
salaries of the Judges of the Eastern and
Western Districts of Texas, which was read
and referred.
Many private bills were presented.
HOUSE.
The House met at the usual hour.
Mr. Scranton said his constituents had de-
manded of him no pledges and that he enjoy
ed an independent kposition. He had twice
voted for Mr.. Gimer, not that he loved Mr..
Sherman less, but order more, and desired
to rescue the House from its difficulties
Mr.. Sherman had explained satisfactorily to
him that the repudiated all sympathy for the
obnoxious sentiments entertained in Helpers
book.
He called attention to the proceedings of
the recent meeting in Luzerne county, Penn
sylvania,t to declare attachment to the, Union
and the Constitution. The resolutions doubt
less express the sentiments of the entire peo-
pie OF Pennsylvania and condemn in strong
terms aggressions on the Institution of the
South ana approve the conduct OF Governor
Wise, in connection with Browns invasion
of Virginia.
Mr.. Campbell endorsed the patriotic sent-
ments of the resolutions. The time had ar
rived when he could say for Pennsy lvania,
without fear of contradiction, anywhere,
that she has always been true, ana always
will be true, to the Constitution land the
Laws.
His State was too great to be unjust. She
had population of three millions-an EN- D..
pire in herself. She sits on her mountains
with an iron crown on her headl She is for
the Union now, and will be to the last sylla-
BILE of recorded time. She will not embark
in any crusade against her neighbors.
He believes in the equality of the States
He repudiates the idea that any particular
man cannot be lawfully, peaceably and
quietly carried into the Presidential chair.
Where would treason show its front? Who
would commit the overt act.
He believed the people would rise in their
might to support sthe Constitution and the
laws OF the land. He had, he said, voted for Mr..
Gilmer with pleasure, because Mr.. Gilmer
was for the Union, the Constitution and laws,
and because he was the un6inching friend of
protection.
Mr.. Campbell proceeded to show, in reply

Raymond upon BenneH.-The following
paragraph is from the New York Times of
Saturday:
The underground Abolition organ is doing
its work thoroughly. Having exhausted the
legendary literature of the ultra Abolition
lists elected by the John Brown affair, il has
now sent special reporters to examine the
condition of the fugitive slaves in Canada,
and also compiling a history of all the at
tempts which have been made in past years
to organize Instructions among Southern
slaves. Going thus into the South, the
Herald informs the negroes of the region
that is ready to receive them, and then
gives them the benefit of past experience as
to the best mode of organizing fresh rebel
lion. While its editorial articles quiet the
unsuspecting slave-owners, its news columns
are filled with the inhamatory appeals to
the slaves. Who, hereafter, will stigmatize
the Abolitionists as mere speculative enthu-
siasts

ORDNANCE OFFICE, Washington,
December IL. lS69

December Is, 1863.
Hon. JOHN B. FLOYD, Secretary of War:
Sir 81 .have to acknowledge the refer
snce to this Office for a report of a letter
from the Governor of North Carolina desir-
ing to procure from the United States Gov
srnment 1000 long range rifles, with bay
onets attached, for the use of the State. On
this application, have the honor to report
chat the State of North Carolina has been
supplied with her entire quota, up to the
end of the year, under the law of April 23d,
1903, for arming the militia. Consequently
any issue that may now be made, will be in
advance of quotas which may become due
in subsequent years. The law does not au-
thorizs any issue in advance of quotas due,
and the regulations, established under the
Law, by the President of the United States,
forbid such issues.
The issue of arms, as desired by Governor
Ellis, would absorb the entire amount of the
quotas to become due to the State of North
Carolina, under the existing law, for the
next six years, and would preclude the fulfill
ment of acquisitions from any of the Gov
ernors during that period.
The letter Of Governor Ellis is returned
herewith.
Respectfully, your ob't serv't,
II. K. CRAIG.
