The following is an extract fro'n-
private letter, dated Lexington, Sep.
16, 1861. We are told in Kentucky.
Civil war is at our doors. The Leg

body is now more fierce for the LIN
coin despotism than any Northern
State, but the great mass of the PEE
pie are against them, and will tlgnt
against the North. We are tied -
this portion of the State-no arms
and eight thousand Lincoln vass-
bonds in camp near us.
There will be some hard fighting
in kentucky, but the old State ~:!i
go with the South.
There was some intelligence -
ceived Yesterday from New 9ort
From all that can be gathered, anu
the information comes through rell:.-
ble sources, there will be sixty thou-
sand troops-in three divisions -
10000 men each-dispatched for
the Southern coasts, which, with the
steamers and sailing vessels, VII
count up something Of formidable

diseases TO which the human system is fable which
are either produced or greatly aggravated by an
impure or unhealthy condition of the blood
Whatever tends to purify this essential element of

We wish to call attention Of our readers to an
article advertised in another column of to-days pa

cine has this one great feature, it purifes and

urged upon the South the adoption Of system of

ne9. We trust there is not heart in Tennessee
that will not beat freer, and glow with warmer emo
tons of patriotism on learning hatour gallant State
has, through her Legislature, passed an ordinance,
declaring her independence of the Black Republic

offensive and defensive, with the Confederate States
both acts to be perfected by an affirmative vote
of the people, on the 9Th of June next. The Legis-
lature has likewise appropriated five millions of
dollars for war purposes and authorized call for
ffty-fYe thousond troops-twenty-fve thousand of
that number for immediate service.
This is glorious news, and we tender onr individ-
ual Acknowledgements to the Governor, to the able
Commissioners, appointed by him, and to those
members of the Legislature who sustained these
measures for their wisdom and patriotism-their
devotion to southern rights and their stern defiance
of abolition tyranny and usurpation. However dire
the necessity cannot, without pain, witness the
dissolution of the Union formed by our forefathers
but although the stars that blazoned the old flag,
are, to us lessened in number, they will gain in
lustre and the stripes we bequeath, fit legacy to
to the contemplate tyrants and fanatics who have
rent in twain the GLORIOUS old banner, and gathered
its stars into two separate constitutions But the
die is cast and for the honor and safety of Tennes
see let there be but one voice among the people
and that in favor of separation now and forever.
Let the sth of June be day ever memorable for
the unanimity with which Tennessee proclaimed
her independence of the northern despot who seeks
the destruction of her rights and the subugaton of
her people. Away with delusve hopes of peace
and union Away with timid counsels and cling
ing sympathies for once glorious government nov
perverted into an engine of oppression. Cast out
the evil spirit of submission to base usurper, and
Jet every Tennessean resolve to stand by his State
and the South until peace and independence have
been won and secured.

aeA. The Boston Post says that committee of
one hundred has been appointed to wait on those
who have not yet spoken out on the subject of the
crisis. The tyranny of naticism is insatiable it
is not content with silencing those who have spoken
but must make those speak who prefer to be silent.
Never since the formation of the government has
Massachusetts, met any great crisis in a generous
and patriotic spirit. When the country was at wal
with England avarice prompted her to oppose that
war and to withhold her quota OF troops aud now
that an unnatural war is being waged by the North
against the South, ianaticism prompts her to vie
with the foremost in the supply Of men and NUM-
tons.

Meeting in Trenton, Ky.
TRENTON, KY, May LIST, 1866

TRENTON KY, May LIST, 1861.
Mr.. EDroR:-Iast Saturday will be remembered
many days by the citizens of our usually quiet
village. At an carly hour the citizens of the sur
rounding country began to arrive by 10 o'clock a
numerous company was in our streets. At eleven
o'clock Capt. Merrwether's Company of Infantry
were on parade to receive Companies from Christian
County. After the reception, the Companies
marched to the residence of Elder NJ. G. Alexander
to receive banner, presented to Capt Ms compa-
ny by the young ladies of Trenton High School.
The Infantry formed line fronting the residence,
the Cavalry falling in the rear; Miss Eliza Bradley
then presented the banner.
1t would be impossible to describe the scene as
the multitude listened to the chaste beautiful elo-
quent, and patriotic address of Miss Bradley.
Which was responded to by Lieut. Blakemore in
eloquent, appropriate and patriotic language. As
we gazed on that banner, Obe banner of the Con-
federate States we thought, with mouruful sad
ness of the "Old Star Spangled Banner" Our
fathers fought long and hard to place it in the
hand of the Goddess of Liberty, But it has been
wrested from her grasp, and is no longer the en-
bem of Liberty and Equality, but of tyranny and
oppression. Shall we stand tamely by and look
on her thus shorn of her colors Or shall we not
rather place in her hand the unsullied banner Of
the Confederate States and nscribe on its folds
"A UNITED SOUTH "Resistance to tyrants is
service to God"
The presentation of the banner and the accom-
panying scene was truly interesting.
The crowd then moved off to q place that had
been arranged for addressing the people, and seve-
raj patriotic addresses were then delivered. Some
several thousand dollars were raised on the ground
for the purpose of arming Capt. Merriwether's
Company The crowd then dispersed seeming to
have but one purpose-to resist oppression to the
death.
A a meeting of Capt Ms Company, resolution
was passed asking Miss Bradley and Lieut.. Blake
more for a copy of their addresses for publication
and also asking you to publish the same. We en-
close the addresses and hope you will give them a
place in your paper.

press, but such rs, trust all true hearts can APP
preciate that receive the beautiful banner which
you have just presented us as an earnest of your
confidence in the honor and chiyalry Of our little
band.
Your fair representative, who has just thrilled us
with such eloquent words Of encouragement, has
told us that you could not WELD the arms of war
fare. 1t is true that it is not your province to
the gun or the sword but your mission is equally
rs important as ours, for by such encouragement as
You have given us today, by your bright smiles
which will haunt us mid the din of battle, by the
prayers which you will offer up for our success, we
feel that our strength will be increased ten fold ;
and should be called upon 10 battle for our be-
loved South should it become necessary for us to
defend our rights and our homes against an inyad-
ing foe, we earnestly believe that those smiles and
those prayers will MD in achieving the victory
which we are determined shall crown our arms.
Permit me then, ladies; in behalf cf our compa-
NY and for myself TO tender TO you our heartfelt
for this precious gin. Believe
that no crayen heart can march beneath the folds
Of this glorious banner. Believe that on tho weary
maNh or on the bloody field, when we shall cast
our eyes upon il as II floats above rs, we viii all
Qnd bless those whose fair hands have
made il and believe, we COnjure you that Il
shall never be dishonOred so long as the stout
