But my heart will break, know, if he fall
In the battles front, by traitors hand;
Yet murmur not, though my tear-wet eyes
Attest the worth of the sacrifice;

And the golden glories of harvest come.

Thrilling Scene.

The Frankfort (Ky.) correspondent Of the St
Louis Republican. writing from Frankfort under
date Of the 18th of September, says that on the
Sunday previous Governor McGofin had re.
ceived q dispatch from General Zellicoffer, an.
nouncing that he had taken possession. with the
Tennessee troops, Of some mountain passes in
Kentucky. What followed is thus eloquently
narrated by the correspondent:
"On Monday morning. when all good citi-
xens expected that the Governor would lay this
dispatch before an outraged Legislature. accom-
panied with message announcing to the peO-
pie, and spreading upon the records of the State
his prompt and earnest rebuke to those who had
dared to offers such an indignity to himselfan the
brave people Of our great State. the Cover
nor did no more than send the te legram to the
House of Representatives by the Secretary Of
Sta.., without single word Of disapprobation.
T when the dispatch was read silent indigna-
tion filed the Hall; it was that awful kind Of
silence that speaks itself in thunder tones. and
stirs the inmost chambers of she soul-a silence
that hangs like heavy pail in the chamber oi
death when the wall Of the mourner has died
away. Such q silence never before pervaded
the Legislature of Kentucky. When it was
announced some years since in the same Hall
that Henry Clay was dead, momentary gloom
seemed to overspread the assembly. but it was
amomentary; for the second thought was of his
glorious life, which filed each bosom with man
ly pride, and covered each brow with radiance
and with hope. The reading Of this letter to
proud and chivalrous Legislature Of Kentucky
made each member feel that he was personally
insulted and covered with enduring shame
The silence was at length broken, and such re
bukes administered to our Governor as should
blister his cheeks for life. One can face can Z.
non with but the ordinary courage allotted to men
but to lace the seora and indignation of an in
suited and injured people, requires moe than
human bravery"

/. If you are in condition to leave
home-that is, if the care of family or
estate do not make your presence positively
imperative, if you cannot serve your coun-
try better where you are than in the field
enlist. 1t is duty, a privilege, an hon.
or.
II. If you cannot 60 yourself, send your
money. Show your confidence in your
country aud in the cause, by investing Of
your capital, so far as is consistent, in UNI
ted States bonds OF Treasury notes. Every
boarded or hitherto unused dollar should
be thus appropriated. You will then have,
if possible, deeper interest in the success
of the Federal arms.
III. If you cannot 60 or send, give to
the Government your sympathy. Do not
grumble. If you are thrown out of busi-
ness, bear it. Said man of our acquaint-
ance living in factory village, who has a
large family to support, "Last year my in
come was nearly eight hundred dollars
this it will probably not exceed three. But

will have rye; if we cannot have rye we

still small voice Of conviction and earnest
purpose, would touch all hearts North and
South with electric force, and would be
worth thousands of soldiers to the Union
cause. No appeal of Peter the Hermit sv.
or met such q response as awaits this com.
ing voice. He sought merely to snatch q
sepulchre from . nation, but we seek %
save . nation from sepulchre.
The slave would hail it as "glad tidings
Of great joy All his sympathies and
activities would be enlisted at once in ouI
behalf, and invaluable aid and information
saving perhaps thousands of lives, would
be received as, 1--WE go marching co."
To the leaders in rebellion the effect
would be much like the pouring out Of the
fifth vial of apocalyptic wrath upon the
seat Of the beast, filling his kingdom with
darkness.
Secession sympathizers at the North
would be awed into silence by the moral
sublimity of such a sight.
Il would meet with opposition in GER
tain quarters of the slave states that re-
main loyal. Butt woxld come only from
those wdo love slaverg better than the Un-
ion; they are false friends: let them betake
themselves where they beloug-to the en-
emy-leaving a clear field. Such an an
nouncement once made would be immense
" popular. As it was with the first Dec
lara,ion, so would it be with this; called
premature" before accomplished, but au-
nounced, it became ahe purpose of q great
people.
l have hope of this result. The nation
al heart to-day calls for final settlement
OF the slavery question upon the enduring
basis of justice and everlasting right. 1t
must be that the Administration, the ar
my, or the people will see this fact and
dare act upon it.
But there is such thing as letting the
golden moment pass by delay. The fu-
ture is uncertain, to-day is ours. But
whatever the result may be, to slave
holding, slave-hunting government with
new guarantees and new fetters and new
degradations, never will submit.

Missouri.

The st. Louis Republican presents the
following picture of the condition of Mis-
souri,:
No pen can exaggerate the lamentable
condition of Missouri. We confess it,
and grieve that it is so. Sometimes we
are almost at the point OF despair, when
we look around US and see how utterly
men permit themselves to be given up to
their passions; how little reason and judg-
ment and moderation have 70 do with the
faculties of our people. Take the condnct
of the Secessionists: They allow them
selves to be run away with by q mere pref
udice. Admiring their friends in the far
South, they will not listen to any argument
showing the course of those friends to
have been precipitate, unwise, unpatriotic
and reasonable. They will not even be
satisfied short of advocating the very same
course for all others. They are in pas
sion the moment they begin discussing the
question, and stir themselves into foam
ing rage if the least opposition is inter-
posed to their views. The devil himself
S00inS W oo a. lu0 oOttOm VI SSC6SSlOuiSus
The Secessionists of Missouri have un-
dertaken to make this State too hot for
those those wno love the Union anu tns Constr
tuition Of our fathers. Pretending to build
the edifce Of Disunion on the doctrine Of
State Rights, they wage war upon the
State as we'll as upon individuals. And
their way of wsging war! Shooting into
passenger trains-lying in wait in ambush
and behind stumps, to fire upon some de-
feuceless traveller placing kegs of pow
der upon railroad tracks-calling citizens
out Of their beds at night to tar aud fsath-
er or hang them-robbing fields of their
crops, orchards of their fruits, farms OF
their stock-burning bridges and depots
setting fire to barns and dwellings-and
establishing such reign of terror as is
making women and children frantic, and
driving peace-loving inhabitants from their
homes by scores and hundreds! What
can ;,ersons who fight their battles iu this
way expect from a powerful and indignant
ly n ns,d Administration
