sens-a Energetic ProCeedings.-Th loyal citi-

Importance of the present condition of affairs
in Kentucky, and are fully determined to
take immediate steps for q proper defense Of
the city. A large and enthusiastic meeting
Of prominent citizens was held last evening,
at Odd fellows Hall, for the purpose, Of or;
ganizlng Home Guard, &c. The subjoined
proceedings will be read with interest:
AT a meeting of the citizens of Covington,
held Tuesday evening, for the purpose Of de-
vlsing means for the greater security Of our
city and vicinity, S. Easton was called to
preside, and j. B. Jones appointed Secretary.
After full discussion, the following address
and plan for organization of home guard,
was unanimously adopted:
TO he Citisens Of CoviuOton:
The exigencies of the times-dangers i'm
pending from invaders from abroad and sedi-
tiOus men at home-demand the prompt
organization of the true men of our city, not
connected with other Union organizations,
to aid in its protection and defense. 1t is
therefore proposed that they enroll them
selves at once for the purposes above mem
toned,
No one who is in afiliation or sympathy
with Secessionists or with those, by whatever
name they may be called, who are working,
directly or indirectly, to break down the
Government which our fathers gave their
treasure and their lives to establish, and who
ignore and oppose the authority of our own
State Government will be admitted into the
organization.
The names of applicants will be referred
to committee, and no name which does
not receive the unanimous approval Of that
committee will be admitted.
Applicants are requested to leave their
names at the office of Summerwell & Sim
mons, in the Madison House.
A committee of FIVE, on membership, was
then appointed by the Chair; also, COM
mittee TO draft rules for the government of
the organization.
The meeting then adjourned, to meet at
Odd-fellows' Hall, Friday night next, at half

How 20 Conquer.

The Rev. Mr.. Conway, in his sermon OF
last Sunday, attempted to show that the
South, except by one means-a proclamation
of liberty to the servile population-is un-
conquerable. He believed that the people
were in earnest, and that an earnest people,
warning in defense of their own soil, will
prove invincible to any force that could be
brought against it. This is the ground also
taken by the New York Independent one of
the mOstinfuentialj journals now published in
the United States, which elaborates this idea
with great force and ingenuity in nearly
every number Of its issue.
This Is sorry view Of the case. If the
North, with all the advantages, vastly su-

ANOTHER RCoMPANY,-Another home guard
company has been organized; it is composed
of material selected from the gu. C's,h and
is under command of Captain H. Gassaway
and Lieutenants Bodley and Thompson. The
company numbers about seventy, of sound
Union doctrines.
COLONEL MUNDY's REGIMENT.-General o.
NJ. Mitchell has assured Colonel Mundy that
his regiment will be kept in the immediate
vicinity of Covington and Newport. Gen
eral Mitchell designs establishing q perma-
nent guard for the above cities, and will use
Colonel Mundy's regiment for that purpose.
Let the people turn out and fill up the regi-
ment.
T. D. EDwARDs.-The Gazette of yesterday
morning, in their Newport items, makes an
unprovoked attack on the above gentleman.
Professor Edwards is gentleman, and is un-
copditional]y in favor of sustaining our Gov
erpment at any hazard We know Professor
Edwards; and, in conversation with him long
before the action of the Kentucky Legisla-
ture, be asserted then, as well as now, that
the Government must be sustained. We
know of DO cause why the reporter of the
above journal should pronounce Mr.. Edwards
politically rotten" as he has taken but lit
tie interest in political matters, and attribute
the attack to personal malice-"Honi soft
qm NAL q penSe."
MAKING TRACKS 1t is said that many of
the disciples of King JEFF Davis in this
county are quietly leaving, for the purpose
of joining the rebel forces of Humphrey
Marshall, in Owen County. Marshall, it is
said, has collected a force of twelve or fifteen
hundred men, and the citizens of that county,
who are nearly all rank Secessionists are
rapidly focking to his standard. 1t is re-
ported that this modern Falstaf contem-
plates making a raid upon Frankfort, with
. view of Selling the State Arsenal and
making prisoners Of the Union members of
the Legislature. He will find the Capital
well defended.
EETERPRlsE Captain Air has determined
to run one of bis boats daily up the Licking
River TO Camp King. There are about one
thousand men in camp there now The
boat will leave the Cincinnati landing of the
Newport ferry boat at ten o'clock A. NJ,
and at two and four o'clock P. NJ. Persons
having friends there can avail themselves of
this means of transportation and visit them
when desirable.
EDWARD RILEY, charged with striking
John Mills with hammer with intent to

AN important order from the State Depart.
ment nullifies much, if not most of the work
of the United States Marshals in seizing
Southern property. 1t declares that by the
acts of confiscation no property is confscated
or subjected to forfeiture, except such aR is
in transit or provided for transit to or from
motion of the insurrection. Real estate,
bonds, promissory notes, moneys on deposit
and the like are, therefore, not subject to
seizure or confscation in the absence of such
unlawful use

Horrible Tragedy In Caiifornia.

A correspondent of the San Francisco AIta
writes the following from Humboldt County,
concerning horrible massacre of family
of Indians:
There was a family of Indians living on
the farm OF Mr.. Singley, near Camp Mendo-
there, because they thought they would have
the protection of their white neighbors, and
because they could occasionally get work to
do, and earn little money. The family con-
sisted of an Old man, young man, three
squaws and two papooses. The old man was
crippled when boy by grizzly bear which
tore off his scalp and broke one ofhis legs, SO
as to make it useless. The whole party were
inoffensive; their only sin was the possession
of a red skin, and bitterly have they atoned
for it. A party of white men entered their
rancheria in the night, few days since, and
tomahawked all OF them. You know what
"tomaEawking" is--if not, | can explain it
it is simply splitting the head open with a
hatchet. All were killed Immediately, save
the old man, and he received blow on the
side Of the neck, which laid bare the verte-
bre. Next morning the victims of this as.
sassnatiOn were found, and they presented
a hOrrid sight. Some OF the neighbors buried
the dead. The old mas, who could still talk
little, begged them to dig grave near that
Of the others They complied With his re
quest, and when it was finished he crawled
into it. He said he wished to die he did
not wish to live again and be an Indian;
pretty soon me Indian no moren He re
quested them to cover the mouth of the grave
with boards, and leave him. They did so,
They wished to dress his wound and they
offered him food, but he stubbornly refused
TO accept any thing, and, when heard from
him last, he had not eaten a mouthful for
forty eight hours.

1t seems to us that people whose demands

commensurate to them. II we have the force,

to show it in action and we confess we do
not admire that species of warlike vigor
which relies upon the absence of Shoes tents,
blankets, coats and trowsers in the rebel
army, and an incendisry disturbance in the
domestic relations of the people at home, to
gain victories. If we want--as we say we
do-the South, at the end of this war, to
respect US, how is il to be done By wait
ing until their soldiers starve or freeze, or
by stirring up the slaves to murder their
mistresses, or by fghting7 We suspect, If it
was any other case than our own, we should

THE census of 1860 shows that the assessed
value Of the taxable property of the loyal
States, including Kentucky and Missouri,
exceeds twelve thousand millions of dollars.
assuming that the national debt will reach
five hundred millions of dollars, and fixing
the interest at seven per cent, the annual
amount necessary to be raised to pay the
interest will be $35 200, 900. If to meet this,
all other sources should fail, and resort TO
direct taxation become necessary, a levy of
three mills on the dollar, or three-tenths of
one per cent, only, would be needed. Even
this would leave an excess of million of
dollars. 1t will be remembered that the mil
lions borrowed are advanced by our own peo-
pie, that the debt will be due to them, that the
interest is not to be made an annual drain
upon the country, but will be paid out and
again expended at home. The stock will
be so distributed, in the main, that the an.
nual dividends will not lodge at once in the
great reservoirs of wealth, but will go into
circulation in aid of all the various branches
of trade and commerce.

A YOUNG LADY residing in the upper part
of Georgetown, D. O., received a letter from
her brother in the rebel army, in which he
states that from his post, near Munson's Hill,
he can see the lights of his own home every
night. Only few miles separate him from
his kindred, but he has begun to believe he
can not pass them as he had hoped to. He
had made great exertions to accompany the
advance guard, in order that he might be
among the first TO enter the Capital, and re-
Join his family at the earliest moment.

SoME Of our devoted fellow-citizens are
inclined to believe that the capture Of Colonel
Mulligan was "a judgment upon him" for
the profane answer which he returned to
General Price, when called upon to surren-

to be hoped that the chastisement will prove
q lesson to him.

On Saturday night last a party of Seces-
sionists forcibly took a portion of the mus

THE FLooD. The heavy rains OF tine ,aet
few days has had the effect Of sending the
Y uLa up TO very high point The ranches
TO the east of the city, the Linda bottom, and
those on the opposite side of the luba, are
completely inundated. An old resident, who
has his high water marks, tells us that this
is the highest flood We have had since the
spring of 90. 1t has already done a vast
amount Of damage to the occupants of the
lower ranches, both in the destruction Of
crops aud the loss Of stock. At seven o'clock
last evening, the indications were that the
Yuba had reached its highest point, although
the Feather was still rising.

unable to cross at any Of the points above

A large crowd were attracted to the levy.
(some four or five hundred) for the purpose
of catching a glimpse of his countenanee.--
Williams was lodged in the station house,
where we understand, he confessed to the
robbery of Fielding's liquor store, and OF
Watts drug store. He says that he went
into Felding's early in the evening, secreted
himself and of course was locked in. After
securing all that he thought was of any
value to him, he left, taking the door key
with him. He then tried to unlock the doors
all the way up the street. succeeding at the
drug store where the watch was stolen.-
