A BATTLE AT LEXINGTON.
ruE REBELS REFUSED WITH
GREAT LOSS.

JrFFERsoN CITY, Sept. 1.-Two messen-
gers from Lexington report a great battle
there. in which the rebels were disastrously
repulsed. Gen. Price commenced an attack
on the entertainments at Lexington, COM
manded by Col Mulligan, on Monday. The
fight was very severe all day General Price
assaulted the works, and was repulsed with
severe loss. On Tuesday, the fighting was
renewed by Price, but feeby. When the con-
riers lett, Gen. Lane was at Johnstown, Bates
county, and was to march Monday morning,
with two to three thousand men, to the relief
of Lexington. The rebel loss Monday is re.
oorted-4000; federal, 800, which is probably
exaggerated.
Monday afternoon, Gen Price sent word TO
Col. Mnlligan at Lexington, demanding sur
render. Col. Mulligan replied, "G0 TO
HELL !" An attack was Immediately made
by first opening with artillery and making
an advance under its cover, on the town.
Price was repulsed with heavy loss.
Gen. Lane, with an estimated force of five
thousand Kansas troops, is reported within
forty miles of Lexington, and rapidly adyanc
ing to reinforce Col Mulligan. Other federal
troops are rapidly convergng from St. Joseph
and other points to reinforce Mulgan. The
twenty second, twenty fourth, and twenty. sixth
Indiana regiments have gone via steamer to
Lexington also the forces sent from st. Louis
per the Des Moines and White Cloud. These
reinforccments number about six thousand
effective troops, and will reach Lexington on
the morning OF the 18th inst. Every conf
dence is felt here that Col. Mulligan will be
able to hold Lexington until reinforcements
arrive.

CVibIfau, III. SeWard

The tender of the first place in the Cabinet to Mr..
SEWARD by Mr.. LINCOLN shows the spirit which is TO
control the incoming Administration. Hence the
sentiments of Mr.. SEWARD become of more impor
lance than ever to the people of the South. Some
deny that he has accepted the appointment. That
it has been offered to him, all admit Therefore,
whether refused or accepted it shows the DISPOSE
ton of Mr.. LINCOLN. We have already collated some
extracts from the speeches of the President eject
and his Secretary of State. We shall continue tc
add further extracts from time to time. In his
speech in the U. S. Senate on 3Oth January, 1850,
he expressed bis views the Equality of the negro
and white man as follows:
/ am in favor of the equality of men--of all men,
whether they be born in one land or born in another
! am in favor of receiving the whole. | acknOwl-
egde them all to constitute one great family, for
whom it is the business of statesmen and the bust
ness of man to labor and to live.
Senators will find that to the extent that humanity
bears the semblance which is impressed upon us
by the hand of our Maker, it is my design and my
purpose to labor and to bring about that equality IN
the land IN lrhich Ue, and as far as may be, IN al
other lands. And, going upon this broad principle,
l have no hesitation in saying that there is
no distinction IN nlg respect or affection between men
of one land and OF another between men of one
cline and another between men of one race and
another; or bettoeeR men Of one color and another
distinction but what is based, not upon institutions
of government not upon the consent of society, but
upon their individual and personal merit. If the
the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Dawson) will rest
this, if he has this sympathy for free negroes which
am rejoced to hear him proclaim, let him bring in
hs bill, and the first aye that shall respond to it
l0iN be miRe-h none should respond TO it
before my name should be alphabetically reached.
More than that if his sympathes embrace a class
that deserve them still more-e SldUe-let him bring
IN his JH for The SldUe and Ny VOICE FOR EMANCPATSG
THE SLAVE IN DISTRICT OR TERRITORY, SHALL
1T. NGym0re; let him show me way in which can
give vote. effectual vote, for The emancipation
Of the SlgUe IN his State in any State, and shall
feel honored to participate in the movement; and
my vote shall be given to main it, with more glad
ness, gratitude and more JOY than it was ever
given upon any occasion in my life.
Sir, neither here elsewhere will admit, as a
rule for the government of my own conduct, that
there is distinction between men. But on the
trary will walk up to the mark, assigned in the
Declaration of independence, that "ATL. MEN ARE
CREATED EQUAL" Sir, the first vote given by me to
keep any man, or any class of men, in a condition
below my own, is yet TO Be giUsR. Il neUsr eH be

a New Rule.

Very many Of the Black Republicans were highly
indignant at Gen. CAss two or three years ago be-
cause he refused, as Secretary of State, to give
nassport to FRED DOUGLASS, or some other negro
that was going to Europe. Gen. CAss determined
that by the Constitution negroes were not citizens of
the United States and that therefore he could not
issue passports to them as American citizens. All
BLACK Republcan-dom was furious. When Mr..
SEWARD gets to be Secretary of State, holding he
does that there is no distinction in my (hs) respect
or affection between men of one color and another"
holding as he does that the negro and the white
are created equal he will not hesitate, as Secreta
~ of State to give our free negroes the same pass
ports in travelling in foreign country that he would
give to the most honest white man that there IS in
the South. The Union is dissolved, and we thank
God for it, if such men ABRAHAM LINCOLN "A. Ii.

1t seems now to be generally understood that
LINCOLN has rendered a position in the Cabinet TO
Gov. CHASE, Of Ohio No man in the United States
has uttered more emphatic Black Republican and
negro equality sentiments than Gov. CHASE. The
free negroes of Ohio presented him with service
of silver for his efforts in procuring for them the
right to vote. 1t seems that Mr.. LINCOLN is deter
mined that his Northern admirers shall be fanat-
ical himself In order that the people of the
South may understand the sentiments of those who
are to rule over them, if they consent TO remain
in the Union after the 4th of March, we shall occa-
sionaly present them with an extract Fl ON Gov
CHASE. In his speech before the Southern and
Western Liberty Convention at Cincinnati, June IL,
1915, Gov. CHASE said:
We are, therefore, reSoluiely 9eriby, at al times
aud under al circumstances hostile TO the longer con-
tiHUaDce Of SlGUehOlding IN our land. We believe
that its removal be effected peacefully consti-
tutonaly, without real injury TO any, with the
greatest benefit to all We propose to effect this by
repeating al legislation and disseminating all action
in favor of slavery at home and abroad by pro-
hJting the practice Of SldUsboding in all places of
exclusive national jurisdiction in the District of
Columbia, in American vessels upon the seas, IN
forts. arsenais, navy yards by forbidding the en-
ployment OF slaves upon any public work; by
adopting resolutions in Congress declaring that
saveholding in all States created out of National
Territories as unconstitutional and recommending
60 the others the immediate adoption of measures
for Its extinction within their respective limits
and by eleeting and appointing to public station,

principles. and will honestly carry out our meas

The very first thing laid down by HELPER in his
programme for the abolition of slavery in the
Southern States, is " Thorough Organization and

Notwithstanding Whites of the South There are
some in Tennessee now engaged in promoting either
wilfuliy unintentionally this very object of
HELPER's. They are enGeavoring to array one class
of our white population against another upon the
slavery question. They endeavorng to create the
impression that nonslaveholders have no interest in
the protection and maintenance of the institution.
Every thinking man must at once see that the poor
er the white man the greater objection he should
have to placing the negro upon an equality with
him. The more slaves a man owns the greater the
interest he has in high prices for labor for the
simple reason that all of his capital is invested in

NASHVILLE Jan. Sd, 1861.
Gen. Joseph Lane, UIited States Senate, Washington
City: fgr l..
DEAR SIR: BY the resolutions, copy of which
are herein enclosed, you will perceive that the un
dersipued have been appointed committee to pre-
sent TO YOU, on behalf of the parteipators in the
meeting the gold-headed cane which will accompa
ny this note
This testimonial thus rendered was manufactured
from the hickory, the growth of the Hermitage, the
hallowed ground in which sleeps the dust of the
immortal JACKSON, one who, like yourself, was no
less gallant defender of his country against for
eign enemies than lover Of the Union-a Union,
however, founded on the Constitution and the immu-
table prime iples of justice and equal rights, and
only to be preserved by faithful adherence to them,
and by the cultivation Of sentiment of mutual good
will and confraternity We trust you willacceptlit,
sir as sincere though feeble token oftheIadmiraon
with which we are inspired at the forcbe timely and
dsinteresed vindication of the rights of the South
and the true principles upon which this government
was founded, which you offered on recent occa-
sion, in the Senate of the United States In that
speech we think you have ably asserted and main
tanned the doctrine that this admirable government
is not a consolidated one, comforting despotic pow
ers upon those who may be temporarily its admin
istrators but confederation of eo-equal and SOW
eregn States, united by an instrument, which guar
antees protection to the rights of the people of every
State. And further, when palpable ATTRACTIONS OF
that instrument modest and contravene their rights
and interests it is the privilege of each State to as
sert its sovereignty and assume Independence and
equality. t.F.. ..I-t .F.F
ave think with you sir that this is the true theory
of the Union, and an adherence to it the surest
mode of obtaining the rights of each State and sec
ton in the confederacy and that if circumstances
inevitably compel dissolution, it is the proper prn
ciple upon which it should be cOnsummated far far
preferable to the unspeakable horrors of civil war
which would surely ensue the consequences of the
practicable enforcement of the doctrine Of coercion
Again sir permit us to offer you this cane, and
as you look upon it now and in after life, we trust
you will regard it as the gift of those who consider
you a statesman soldier and their friend. Be
pleased to accept our sincere wishes for your hap
piness and prosperity, and that you may be long
spared to country which you have faithfully
served. .-. --u ...E
We are. very respectfully, yours, &c.

Anti-cosrelon RESOLUTIONS.

The resolutions Of Mr.. PORTER of Henry were
yesterday passed by the House of Representatives
by the overwhelming vote Of SO tos The NAYS
were as follows Messrs. GREEN, HAvRox KrycAID
of Anderson, RUssEIIs SENTER, TREwnTrr, WIsExER
and WOODWARD. The other members present voted
ia the affirmative.
The resolutions, in substance, declare that this
General Assembly, has heard with profound
regret. of the resolutions recently adopted by
the Legislature of New York, rendering men and
money to the President to be ased in coercng SOW
ereignStates Of the South into obedience to the Fed
eral Government; and that this General Assembly
receives the action Of the Legislature of New York
the indication of the purpose on the part Of the
people Of that State, to further compcate existing
difficulties, by forcing the people of the South to
the extremity of submission or resistance, and so
regarding it, the Govenor of Tennessee is requested
to inform the Executive of New York. that it is the
opinion Of this General Assembly that whenever the
authorities of that State shall sed armed forces to
the South, for the purpose indicated in said resou
tions. the people of Tennessee, uniting with their
brethren of the South, will, as resist such
invasion of the soil of the South at every hazard
and to the last extremity.

upon the high position they have taken in connec-

Tennessee in Ethe right position, rather IT viii

is question IN which our hearthstones are invOlV-
ed. 1t question of peace or war IL all tne
slave States win firmly maintain such position
the myrmidons of LINCOLN nor BUCHANAN VIII ever

Lieut. Gen. Scorr, himself will scarcely dare to
move his mercenares upon u.s. we regret to ind
any difference of sentiment upon such question.
1t seems palpable to that there is but one path
of safety for the South; but we are prepared to
recognize some slight dissensions in consequence
of the unfortunate divisions that have been long
and so firmly rooted in the minds of our people.
We hail the day, not far distant, when the pa
triotism of Tennesseeans will recognize that we are
all one in interest, destiny and renown, and when
every vestge of party prejudice shall be oblerated
until the rights of the people are secured. Sure
we are they will present united front when the
day of battle shall come, if that evil day should
ever arise. I'D. ~ -
