RICHMOND MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 49, 1860

vll be understood at home and abroad. feel anxious
that those who supported Mr. Beckinridge in Kentucky
who do not believe this assumed right OF secession or
who do not desire that the Union shall be dissolved may
mite with all the Union on this question. Let us
All upte upon this one question: that the Dsunioniss may
know thew have no allies or sympathizers among the
citizens Of Kentucky.
How shall this be done Allow me to suggest that
tho state Committees who may think with the sub
leo. shall forthwith Jointly call convention of the cit-
zens of Kentucky in such mode and manner that each
county opposed 10 secession shall send delegates to rep
resent them in such mass convention. If this is to be
done Uthen IL were well il we're done quickly"
If The State Committees will not act then propose TO
meet in your city, at such time as may seem best say
y of nv fellow citizens and make the call for such
mass convention hope all the papers in Kentucky op-
posed 10 secession will do me the favor 10 publish this
letter.
Nothing short Of the profound and intense interest
feel in the fearful crisis now upon u.s. could induce me 10
move thus in this matter and in earnestly urging the
above proposition upon the consideration OF my fellow
citizens, do not appeal TO party This is time Tor
patriotism Lot party ism time Tor the prompt exercise
of reason uncouded by passion and unbiased by pG-
dice appeal therefore not to any party, but TO the
brave and loyal czens of the entire Commonwealth TO
come forward aod rebuke sectionam, and declare in
tones of thunder tha the Union must and shall be pre-
served. Very respectfully, yours,

An Indian Funeral.

A Fort Riley correspondent Of the Pitts
burg Dispatch gives a description Of an
Indian funeral:
There was a procession of wagons,
drawn mostly by small Indian horses,
called ponies. The first wagon contained
a rough coffin and six old squaws. three
on each side Of The coffin. all kneeling
with heads bowed in mournfui silence
the horses, also, walked slowly along,
with their heads near the ground, as il
conscious that their last sad duties were
being performed for another Of the native
sons OF the soil. The second. third and
fourth wagons contained children, the
youngest in 'front.', all silent. some with
downcast eyes, and others gazing a! the
scene in wonder. Then followed quite a
number OF the Indians on their ponies, all
in single 6le. no two riding abreast. III
the rear we've several old Indians, on foot
!otterng along as if they too had nearly
blossomed for the grave. They came tc
the entrance of the grave yard /; the coffir
was carried TO the grave, ring was
formed around it, oil kneeing. and as il
descended, low moaning chant was com
menced, which seemed TO swell until i
became sweet but mournful TO the ear
then il died away in the same low sounds
with which il began all arose, and on,
by one left, a few OF the near relatives o
the deceased remaining to ponder over hi
untimely death.
