A KING Down THE HArcHwAY.
One day, when the flagship Of an
American commodore was lying in
the bay of Naples, she was honor
ed BY visit from the king and ro-
yal family, with suite, who came
ont in gilded barges and full par.
ade of royalty. The ship was dress
ed from deck to truck in holiday
attire; side boys were mustered at
the ropes, the marines presented
arms, the guns thundered forth q
royal salute, and the commodore
welcomed bis guests to the quarter
deck with the pcliteness betting
an offics of rank.
One Of the suite, . spindle-sbank-
ed aud gaudily attired Neapolitan,
stayed away from the party,
cruising about midships, espied q
windsail, an object he had never
seen beftre. 1t was fully expand
ed by the air, he took it for a pill
lar, and folding his arms, leaned
against it, when it yielded to his
weight, and hexdisappeared below,
heels e. e velocity
that wss scldlll5 marvellous, as
was escape from injury. The mis-
hap CHANGED to have only one wit
ness; this was a veteran tar, who
approaching the quarterback, and
touching his hat, said respectfully,
4 beg you pardon commonore, but
one Of them ere kings has fell
down the hatchway.'

AFFAIRS IN RIcHMoND.--A gentle
man who left Richmond, Va.,a week
ago last Wednesday, informs the Gin
cinnati Gazette that there are not more
than FIVE thousand troops, all told, in
that city. A large number Of Virgin
ians and Mississippians had been sent
to North Carolina. The Confederates
distrust the loyalty Of the North Caro-
lima troops, and it was concluded to
keep them in Virginia. The Richmond
Examiner OF the l4th contains the same
report Of the battle at Carniiex's Ferry
that was published here, excluding only
that portion relative to the precipitate
fight of Gen. Floyd. The Examiner
claims that, after all, the victory yas
substantially with Floyd. The inten-
ton OF General Lee, it says, was to at
tack the Federal forces. Leather, the
Examiner argues, is not near so scarce
as has been reported. There is, how
ever, scarcity Of shoemakers, but all Of
the latter in the army are to be detach-
ed. The informant says provisions are
very scarce in Richmond. Bacon was
selling at thfrty-fve cents per pound.
The principal supplies had been pro-
cured through Kentucky. The Exami-
ner contains list of about one hunded
aliens, mostly from Eastern States, who
had taken the oath Of allegiance.

The latest news from the expedition
against Zollicoffer is, that they had
reached Boone's Fork, in Rock Castle
county, about eighty miles from Camp
Robinson. Measles had almost decims-
ted their ranks.
The Ohio Fourteenth arrived this
evening on their way to some point be-
low, probably to intercept Humphrey
Marshall and his forces. They were
received here by an immense crowd
who cheered the soldiers along their
passage through town.
The Governor will probably send in
several important bills tomorrow with
his approval, and the Legislature, after
passing some important measures, will
adjourn about Wednesday next. The
feeling against the traitor Buckner in-
creases daily, and strong military
spirit begins to exhibit itself.

EThe Richmond Examiner of the
9th ult., in speaking of the relative po-
sitions of Floyd and Wise on one side
and Rosecrans and Cox on the other,
says, "a rapid and brilliant movement
on one side or the other seems to fur.
nish now the only means Of terminating
the present complications" p. . ,si
True as preaching. Floyd made the
"one," Rosecrans the "other." II
FIoyd'sretreat was "rapid," Rosecrans
attack was brilliant" or if the Exam
liner prefers we will say Floyd's run was
"brilliant" and Rosecrans' attack crap.

re- Brigsdier General Simon B.
Buckner is man whose subilety has
been made as obvious as his base
ness and gross atrociousness. A grad
nate of West Point, long in the regular
service, twice breve.ted for gallant con.
duct in Mexico, his qualifications as an
officer and his personal courage are not
to be reasonably doubted. He is a
young man Of about 81 years Of age,
and we regret TO say a native Of Ken
tucky. A little above the medium
height. his spareness gives to his figure
an appearance of tsllness which does
not belong to it, and lends to it COM
manding appearance. In bis manners
he partly affects certain suavity and
urbanitY. His influence is coneidera-
bic with the inexperienced. and when
he is disposed his style is especially
charming to untutored men. His lack
Of honesty is patent to the country. and
he stands before it diyested Of all the
attributes Of honor. truth, and integrity,
which honest men so tenaciously cling
to. Forgetting and dropping all claims
to honesty, he visited Washington city,
represented himself there as loyal, in
gratiated himself into Gen. Scott's con-
fidence, obtained permission to inspect
all the Notifications in that vicinity,
made the Hon. Robert Mallory and
others believe that he wished to take
service in the army Of the United
States, returned to Louisville aud re-
NAMED for a brief period without Civ
ing the slightest public indication that
he contemplated any disloyal move
nent, and yet at the very time. during
hat very sojourn in the midst Of us, he
held secret conference with the con-
,pirators here and designated military
to head them in the out
,reak that had been agreed on. Ken
ucky expected much from him. and,
Ike true mother, pushed and aided
er son on to many successes and ben
fits, but he has turned traitor to her
oil and leads hostile army to her in
aston. In this he is the traitor. and

'aitor.--Lou. Josr. E''1 9d go ias.i

~From the port Of New York, for
two weeks ending the 9th ult., there
were shipped TO various quarters Of the
world, 194.48 barrels of flour; 9O1,-
467 bushels of wheat; 24,841 bushels
of rye; and .Os3. 3.7O3 bushels of corn.
Notwithstanding this enormous export,
wheat in Gallipolis is worth 80 cts.; corn
90; oats 90. DC.
And this was from but one single
port. Who can fear the result Of this
war under such circumstances. Was it
ever known that a nation with an army
of9O0. 600 men in the field, and engaged
in fierce war such as the world never
saw. could export breadstuffs to this
enormous extent, besides the crop Of
1861 is yet almost untouched. From
our exhaustless stores we can feed the
world. This is but the beginning, we
have not began to show our strength.

For Senator,
HENRY s. NEAL.

RThe Union Convention which
met in this place on Saturday last, was
composed Of the most highly respecta-
bic citizens Of our county, and of both
the former political parties. Every
thing passed off most harmoniously.-
Republicans voting for Democrats and
piee versa, was a sight worth seeing,
and proves how strongly the hearts Of
the people are bound together, for the
Union. That kind of wire working, too
frequently seen in nominating conven-
tions, was not visible in this, and in
deed, the candidates most readily nomi-
mated, were those not present during
the session. To say that they will be
triumphantly elected requires no proph-
ct.
The "peace party" nominate candi-
dates, we are informed, on the Sd Ito
day;) who they may be, is as hard to
tell, as to know who are members Of
the party; on the whole we are glad to
see them show their hands. They did
It partly at the market house meeting,
but in this Convention we shall see who
are willing to stand forth as standard
bearers for the South, and receive at the
hands of our citizens, through the ballot
box, such q drubbing as will consign
them and their Infamous party to obliv-
ion SO deep that the hand Of resurrection
will never reach them. We observed
some of them in the convention on Sat-
urday, and when the Treasurer was
announced, they looked very much as
ifthey chad missed figure" in going
against the Union party. We think they
did. tael 2.sfHt

RA large and enthusiastic Union
meeting was held at Morgan Centre on
Thursday last. The crowd, consisting
of Republicans and Democrats, was ad-
dressed by R. L. STEWART and @. c.
ALEsHIRE. In the evening the same
gentlemen spoke to a respectable audi
ence at Porter, composed Of the leading
men of both parties. These Union meet
ings are being held over the county, and
manifest the right spirit. The "pesce
party" alias secessionists. would soon
become very few and far between, if
the farmers were once properly sp-
prised Of their traitorous designs.
