early days, when men sought the gold region
there were found there but few Of the nccessares

black earth. and slowly. but surely, turned the
bed of the river; left its rocky bottom bare to
the sunlight which spar kled on g'itfering sand

the desolation of that feeling THAT the sun
has indeed been stricken from the sky of our
lives, and that henceforth we shall be but wan
derers and outcastS, with nought but the bread
of sorrow and penurv for our lips, and with
hands ever outstretched in feebleness and sup
plIcation, on which, in any hour, military
tyrant may rivet the fetters of desparing
bondage. May God in his infinite mercy save
you and me, and the land we so much love,
from the doom OF such degradation!
No contest so momentous as this has aris-
en- in human history, for amid all the conflicts
of men and OF nations, the life Of no such gov
ernments as ours has ever been at stake. Our
fathers won our independence by the blood
and sacrifices of seven years war, and We
have maintained it against the assaults of the
greatest power upon the earth and the ques-
tion now is, whether we are to perish by our
own hands, and have the epitaph of the sui
eide written upon our tomb. The ordeal
through which we are passing must involve
immense suffering and losses for us all, bnt
the expenditure of not merely hundreds of
millions, but of billions of treasurer will be
we'll made, if the result shall be the preserva.
tion of our institutions.
Could my voice reach every dwelling in Ken
lucky, l would implore its inmates-if they
would not have the rivers of their prosperity
shrink away, as do unfed streams beneath the
summer heats-to rouse themselves from their
lethargy, and fly to the rescue OF their coun-
try before it is everlastingly too late. Man
should appeal to man, and neighborhood to
neIghborhood, until the electric fires of patr-
otism shall flash throughout the land. 1t is a
time in which the workship, the office, the
counting house, and the field, may we'll be a.
bandoned tor the solemn duty that is upon us
for all these tolls will bring but treasure, not
for ourselves, but for the spoiler, il this revo-
luton is not arrested. We are all, with our
every earthly interest, embarked on mid-ocea
on the same common deck. The howl of the
storm is in our ears, and ssthe lightning's red
| glare is painting he on the sky,' and while
the noble ship pitches and rolls under the
ashings of the waves, the cry is heard that
she has sprung leak at many points, and that
the rushing waters are mounting rapidly in the
hold. The man who, in such an hour, will not
work at the pumps, is either maniac or a
| monster. Sincerely yours, j. HOLT.

KEEP UP THE EXCITEMENT.-Re

N movas always cause excitement, and since
the great excitement about the removal of the
Court House has subsidized, the community gener-
ally have become somewhat excited upon hearing
that Charly Watson has determined to pull up
stakes and remove to Virginia. But the latest
cause of excitement is the fact that have Iemov-
ed my Saddler Shop from my old stand opposite
the Court House to my new shop on Market street,
nearly opposite the JAIL where all who may favor
me with a call can be supplied with Saddles, Sim
gle Harness, Donbke Harness, Tug Harness, Bri-
dies, Collars, Whips, Haiters. Housings Breeeh-
bands Side Straps, and in fact every article in the
line of Saddling and Harness making. Thankful
for the very liberal patronage heretofore bestowed
I solicit a continuance of the same and call from
as many new customers as can make it suit.

will administer those only true and safe medi-
cines, extracted from the most choice Roots and
Herbs, which are prepared under his own super

ERAL PoIsoSs, which were never designed for the
system, to take which many thousand have fallen
victims and gone to early graves.
THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

try; prepared from life spent in the great hos
pitfalls of Europe and the first in the country.
