The Position of Kentucky.

The people Of the State of Henry Clay
have expressed themselves at the ballot-box
as true to the |. .:on, the Constitution and
the Laws. At the election last week on Mon
day the majority for Union will not foot up
less than 10000. 1t was splendid victory.
kentucky no longer holds secession or even
neutral ground, but mantully, though labori
ously, she comes out and espouses the glori-
GUS cause Of the Union.
This should give fresh courage to the In
ion-loving people of the waverins States. 1t
seems now as though Missouri, Tennessee
kentucky and western Virginia, all of
which the rebels have counted upon with
more or less show Of plausibility, could never
JOIN the southern confederacy.
All honor to the clark and bloody ground
of kentucky. Such courage as has been
manifested by some of her men can hardly
find its equal in the annals of history The
name Of Joseph Holt will live long after Sc
cession and rebellion have ceased to be. We
rejoice that We have such State as Ken
lucky; we rejoice that the home of Clay now
has patriot SO pure, SO eloquent, SO earnest
as the Hon. Joseph Holt. How the very
name Of Breckenridge stinks in contrast.

ELECTION. Tuesday. sept. B.

O. The North is called to mourn again
thus soon the loss of one of It's bravest gene
rails. Gen Lyon, the terror Of the rebels in
Missouri, was killed in battle near Spring
field, that state last Saturday. while gallant
y charging upon the enemy at the head Of
lis troops. 1t is bat poor consolation thai,
the notorious Ben Mccullough and Gen
Price were probably both killed in this same
engagement. Gen Lyon was a brave man
and his loss will be deeply feIt in the western
field. Gen Siesel drew of the Union forces
in fine style fearing he might be surrounded
and cut of by an overwhelming number. AS
usual, the rebels numbered twice as many as
the federal troops, and were strongly en-
trcrched, vet they were beaten and driven
out OF their eatrenchmtnts

THE W AR.
Hampton Burned by Rebels.
FIVE HUNDRED HOUSES DESTROYED.

THE ENEMY REPUIsED AT HAMPTON
BRIDGE.
On the I'd instant, Col Magruder left York
town with 1000 rebel troops, including 200
cavalry and eight pieces of artillery, viz, 3
Parrot guns, howitzers, one rifed cannon.
On Monday night they encamPed at Great
Bethel, which had been completely deserted.
Thursday night they advanced toward Hamp-
ton. At noon Wednesday they took up d
position on Back river, some three miles from
the town, where Mayhew managed to escape
through a cornfeld, and after swimming a
couple of streams, reached the fortress He
says the object of this rebel movement was to
draw out our forces and then to attack Camp
Hamilton or Newport News if possible, and
at least to destroy Hampton, in order to pre-
vent our using it for winter quarters.
Gen Butler at once repaired to this end of
Hampton bridge, where he remained till II
p. m. Wednesday night. Col Weber erected
a barricade near the Hampton end of the
bridge, and placed strong guard at various
points this side of the creek
At few minutes past midnight, Col Ma
gruder, with about 800 rebels, some belong
ing in Hampton, entered the town and imme-
diately fired the buildil Is. The greater part
of the 800 buildings were of wood, and being
very dry, the strong south wind soon produc-
ed a terrible contlagration. There was par
ty Of 20 white people and 40 negroes in the
town, from inability to move, sumo of whom
were in the houses when fired, and the rebels
did not awake them. They gave Cary Jones
and his wife. both of whom were aged and
intirm, ID minutes to remove few articles OF
furniture to the garden. Several of the
whites and negroes were hurried away to be
impressed into the rebel service Mr. Scot
field, merchant, took refuge in swamp
bove the town. Two negroes were drowned
while attempting to cross the creek.
A company Of rebels attempted TO force
passage of the bridge, but were rerulsed by
Col Weber's command, with the loss of three
rebels killed and six wounded.
The fire at Hampton ragged all night. 4
great part of the rebels withdrew Thursday
morning, and at noon, only seven or eight
buildings were left standing. This destruc-
ton of the town was an act Ct wanton cruelty
to the resident Unonists, and moreover en-
tirely useless, as Gen Butler intends winter
Ing his army many miles beyond Hamp-
ton.
An attempt will be made TO cast the blame
Of this vandalism on Gen Butler: bu, il is
fact that after 10 O'Clock Wednesday night.
there was not federal soldier in Hampton.
4 flag of truce came 20 the fortress from
Norfolk, Thursday morning. with Miss Mayo
a niece of Gen Scott, on her wav from Rich
mond to New York. She states that the re-
bels attribute the incendary act TO Genera

Our readers will not fail to notice that the
Connecticut River Valley Musical Association
will hold convention in this place Aug. 81,
%, % and 80. The committee have been
very fortunate in again securing the valuable
services of Prof. G. +. Root as director, for
certainly the meeting Of the association held
here last winter under his management, was
one of the most interesting and profitable &C.
caslons We ever had the pleasure of attend
ing. 1t is earnestly to be hoped that the
friends Of music in this part of the State will
not fail to be present in large numbers, to ex-
press their interest in the cause, and enjoy
the benefits of the rehearsals. All will be
cordially, and We trust more warmly, well
coined than in February. A pleasant and
profitable time is guaranteed. Come, and We
will strike the cymbals" together!

Fatal Accident.

We learn that Joseph X. Arlington, for
merly of this town, but for three years res
ident Of Hartford, Iowa, was so burned by
the explosion of a kerosene oil lamp, July %,
that he died the next morning. He was 81
years old, and leaves a wife and an infant
child. After the explosion he rushed into
the room where his wife was, completely en-
veloped in flames which she extinguished by
wrapping bed-quilt about him. 1t was not
at first thought that lie was fatally burned,
but. though not in much pain, he failed rap
idly and died as above stated.
