"ExECUTIvE MANSION, June 90, 1861
"Colonel John Fry-My Dear Sir: Ii
gives me very great pleasure to be the
medium of transmission Of these weapons
to be used in the defence of national SOW
ereignty upon the soil of Kentucky.
Though some years have passed since
/ left my native State, l have never eaes-
ed to contemplate her progress in happi.
ness and prosperity with sentiments oi
fond and flial pride. In every effost Of
industrial energy, in every enterprise OF
honor and valor, my heart has been With
her. And | rejoice in the consciousness
that, at this time, when the institutions to
whose fostering care we owe all that We
have of happiness and glory, are rudely
assailed by uugrateful and paraicidal
hands, the State of Kentucky, ever true
and loyal, furnishes to the insulted Gag OF
the Union guard of her best and bra.
vest sons. On every field the proWess Of
KentuckiaDs has been manifested. In
the holy cause of national defence they
must be inyincitle.
"Please accept, sir, these weapons as o
token of the love | shall never cease to
cherish for my mother State, OF the pride
with which | have always regarded the
exploits of her sons, and of the confidence
which feel in the ultim ate loyaly Of Der
people, who, while never forgetting the
homage which their beloved State may
Justly claim, still remember the higher
aud grander allegiance due to or COM
mon country.
"Yours, very sincerely,

"Fellow citizens of the United States
the threat of unhslowed disunion-tbe
names of those, Orce respected. by whom
it is uttered-the array of military force
to support it-denote the approach Of a
crisis in our affairs on which the contin
uance of our uuezampled prosperity, our
political existence, and perhaps that of all
free government, may depend. The con
juncture emanded free, full, and ex-
plicit enuncistion, not only of my inten-
tions, but Of ms principles of action; and
as the claim was asserted of right by a
state 10 annul the laws of the Union, aud
even to secede from it at pleasure, frank
exposition Of my opinions in relation to
the origin and form Of our government,
and the construction | give to the instru-
ment BY which it was created, seemed to
be proper. Having the fullest confidence
in the business of the legal and constitu-
tional opinion of my duties which has
been expressed, / rely with equal conf
dence on your undivided support in my
determination to execute the laws-to
preserve the Union by all constitutions al
means-to arrest, if possible. By noder-
ate but firm measures. the necessity of q
recourse to force; and, if it be the will Of
Heaven that the recurrence of it's prime
val curse on man for the shedding of q
brothers. blood should fall upon our land,
that it be not called down by any often
sive act Oh the part of the United States.
Fellow citizcnsi the momentous case is
before you. On your undivided support
Of your government depends the decision
of the great question it involves, whether
your sacred Union will be preserved, and
the blessing it secures to Us as one people
shall be PerPctuated No Que can doubt
that the uDanimty with which that decision
will be expressed, will be such as to in
spire new confidence in republican insti-
tutions, aud that the prudence, the wis
dom, and the courage which it will bring
to their defence, will transmit them, un-
impaired and in7igorated, to our chill
dren.
MAY the Great Ruler of nations grant
that the signal blessings with which be
has favored ours may not, by the madness
of party, or personal ambition, be disre-
garded and lost, and may His wise provi-
dence bring those who have produced this
crisis to see the folly, before they feel the
misery, of civil strife, and inspire a re-
turning veneration for that Union which,
if We may dare to penetrate His designs,
He has chosen. as the on ly means of at
tanning the high doctrines to which We
may reasonably aspire.

the seal of the United States to Be- here
unto affixed, having signed the sano with
my hand,

that some things can be done as Rell a.

proper kind of fear, an F. F. V. possess

friend suggests that the F. F. VS. have
lately enlisted themselves also to fresh
laurels as "Fleet Footed VirginiaDs."-

Wheat Growing Countries.

A late number of the New York T'1-

greatest wheat producing country, both
France and Britain exceeding it in Az

sucnod to be $50 100000 bushels. but
the average is probably only 20,000,000

"Here is an annual production Of over

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2s.-Gen. Prentiss' dis
patch announcing the surrender of Col.
Mulligan, at Lexington, states the Federal
loss to be thirty-seven killed and one hun
cred and forty wounded. The rebel loss
is supposed to be about 800 killed and
wounded.
The reported fight between the rebels
and Gen. Lanes brigade, near Blue Mills,
is discredited here, Lane being some dis
lance east of that point at last accounts,
marching on Lexington.
The account of the battle at Blue Mills,
forwarded last night, was derived from oil
cial dispatches written on the spot and,
therefore, can be relied on.
Col Smiths command was to leave Blue
Mills for St. Joseph the day after the battle.
