T The Union Een of Kentucky, as d
general thing, seem to have but littl,
stomach for the fight with traitors, Thus
far we do not sec that they are Of any
more account than the general run OF
Union men in Missouri. And of how lit
tie force they are outside of the German
element, may be inferred from the fact
that Northeast Missouri, the strong
est Union section in the State, has never
been able to furnish half enough men to
fll Mocrc's regiment, while the Hcceshcrs
have sent of two or three thouScnd un-
der Mart Green and have some 10 spare.

Once upon time, We learn from an old
book, too little read we fear, of great
and wicked rebellion as causeless as this in
our day and country The darling son of
wise and just Ruler instigated by the
Devil and his own wicked heart and am.
bilious aspirations, excited the people to
rebel against his father. He piled the
ambitious arts of willy demagogue with
such success that formidable rebellion
broke out and threatened the overthrow
OF the established Government. The min
listers of the old King rallied his armies,
and as they went forth to the war, the
monarch with fatherly weakness and ten
der regard to the Constitution, instructed
his Generals by all means to spare the
life of the author of the rebellion, and
not to hurt hair of the head of his be-
loved Absalom.
The loyal subjects of the King went
forth to the war rlsking property, life and
all for the defence of their Government,
but required at all hazards to spare the
life of the guilty cause of the rebellion,
on account Of which their lives were i'm
periled and sacrificed. 1t is to be pre-
sumed there was an under current of dis
content in the Kings army as they went
forth to put down rebellion, under or
ders TO save the leader of the rebel forces
even at the sacrifice of their own lives
But they brayely met the enemy in battle
and defeated and scattered the rebel hosts.
and in spite of all the care of the Gov
ernment, Absalom, the cause of the rebel
lion, was proeideatiaRy caught by the
flowing locks, in which he prided and
fell a victim TO the excited wrath of the
loyal subjects of the King.
So oar Absalom, the shameful cause and
ground Of the present wicked rebellion,
the slave power, notwithstanding the
Constitutional tenderness of our Govern
ment may, and probably will perish under
the wise Providence of Heaven and the
just Indignation of loyal people when
they shall have sacrificed their own prop
erty and the lives Of their sons and broth
ers on Its account Al all events, we re-
Joiee In such faith and have very little
sympathy for those who would pour out
the blood and treasure of the people with
unstlnted profusion, in the hope eventu.
ally to establish slavery on tirmer founda-
tions and shareholders in more unaues-
toned predomiuance than ever in the ad-
ministration of this Government. And
In the light of History, sacred and pro-
lane, We cannot conceive that this rebel
hon can be put down while its cause il
spared to triumph in the crushing out of
treason which 1t had stimulated into life
and.power. Slavery must 90 under; must
cease to be the basis Of controlling inhu-
ence and power in this Government be-
fore the authority of the Government can
be permanently re-estahlished over uni
ted, harmonious and contented people
The opposite result, however accomplish
ed, would be in reality the triumph of the
slave power by revolution accomplished
In its interest.

of the preparations which England may
have IN progress in this connection. The

According to this authority the squad
ron destined to convey the Troops o.

vessels, six of which are screw frigates.
and is to sail towards the end of the pres

The London Times mentions that the
number of Spanish troops to be sent out
is about 5000 of whom 5000 viii be sent

lowing:

A writer in the Richmond Examiner
gives the following pleasant description
of the Hon. Justin S. Morrill,, our much
esteemed Member of Congress:
He is the very embodiment of Yam
kee character. He looks mean in every
fiber and lineament of his wretched
body. Vulgarity, conceit, cowardice and
rapacity are stamped Enthusiastically up
on his frontispiece. He looks as if he
had been brought up on Yankee Doodle
"A tune which could only become a IA
vorite among a mean and sEeaking peo-
pie, and which would inevitably make
any race so who were not so before. In
looking at Morrill,, the only matter of
surprise to any believer in physiognomy
is, that he has not been imprisoned for
stealing sixpences, or selling wooden
nutmegs instead of being the author of
the more adroit and gigantic robbery of
the famous Morrill, tariff bill"

unconstitutional spread Of slavery, and as such
was looked upon rs one Of the safest leaders in
