From Kentucky--HONv Matters Stand
there--The Situation ut Cairo, SC.
From a gentleman of the first respecta-
bility and standing in Louisville, Ky, we
yesterday received letter, from which the
following is an extract:
"You intimate some anxiety about Ken
lucky. We are entitled to one hundred
members of the lower House in the Legis-
Iature. will venture, on this Saturday,
the Sd day of August, that the Union party
will succeed in sending seventy-five-mRny
OF our people claim eighty-out of the one
hundred. will venture further, that the
Legislature will take very decided stand
for the Government.
"The great trouble we have in Kentucky
is the probable attempt of Tennessee to CO.
cree US. My conclusion is that that State
contemplated toray some weeks ago-she
has abandoned it for the present; how long
she may hold herself in decent bounds no
one here can say. In anticipation of some
such movement on the part of our neigh
bors, have urged upon the Union men
here the prOpriety of inviting Col. Ander-
son to take charge of the Home Guard of
the State. Kentucky is tolerably we'll
armed-she has respectable body Of par
TALLY drilled men scattered over the State.
In case, however, of any sudden trouble,
we are without leader-we are without
any arrangement for prompt concentration.
Col. Anderson is all we want.
Cairo is just now attracting some at

can take Prentiss-but Prentiss has no no.
ton of being taken-his batteries are SO
arranged that he can throw from Eve thou
sand to six thousand shot and shells be-
fore Pillow eau reach him.
f" The Manassas disaster will have very
little effect upon the vote of Kentucky
Our people are beginning to see that it re-
ally was Federal victory, though we lost
all the value of the victory by the panic.
1t is not by any means the first time in the
history of battles that brave troops have
failed after an effective and gallant tight."

A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES Hum
dreds of stimulnnts have been invented
and sold, purporting to be specific in the
various diseases and arrangements to
which, the delicate form of woman render
her subject. The result of all these slim
ulNnts has been to impart m0mentary activ-
ity to the nervous system, and false vigor to
the muscles; but this relief hns been sue
cceded by depression and prostration
greater than before and the repeated at
tempts of inyalids to build themselves up
by tue false remedies, have finally ended in
destroying what little vital organization
was left. But in using '.Berkaue's HoI-
land Buters" you will find no such disas-
trous results. 1t is IL purely vegetable
compound, prepared on strictly scientific
principles, after the manner of the cclc-
brated Holland Professor, Berhave. I'm

HOW Disgraoed FInunoier Fleets
Punishment.

Punish mentS
The conviction of NJ. Mires, the swind-
ling French banker, has already been an
nounced. A Paris letter in London pa
per describes the manner in which the fall
en- fiuancier received his sentence.
awhile the sentence was being read the
agony of Mires was so great that even
those whose feelings are hardened by the
daily task of passing severe judgments
might have thought society sufficiently
avenged by the sutfer.ngs he endured dur
ing that half hour. Sometimes, as il to
escape from them, he clutched at the bar
with both his shrivelled hands, and some
times let his Eead fall upon the left arm,
that lay stretched along the balustrade, rs
if no longer able to support its weight
When all was over he threw his hands over
his head, and clasping them tightly togeth-
er gave utterance to incOherent expressions
of dispair, aud, to escape from the gaze OF
so many lookerS-on, rushed towards the
little door of the prisoners waiting-room,
without seeming to see that it was shut,
while guards closed around to secure him.
His palencss afterwards became so great
that he appeared about to faint, but pres
emily he recovered his self-possession, took
up his hat, and pressing it violently upon
his head left the court guarded by some
policemen"

of this war is to make war on Southern
institutions. l have been in free States

thank God that, so far as l have been.
there has been one universal disclaimer of
any such purpose. 1t is a war upon no
section; it ia war upon no peculiar in
stitution; but it is war for the integrity
of the Government, for the Constitution,
and the supremacy of the laws. That is
what the nation understands by it.

We find in the Louisville papers pretty
full accounts copied from the Richmond
joarnals of the great battle at Bulls Run,
or Stone Bridge, as the rebels call it
These reports confirm what the telegraphic
dispatches have limited merely, that the
rebels suffered severely, losing far more
men in killed and wounded, in proportion
to their forces on the field, than did our
side. No better testimony to the valor of
our troops could possibly be given than
will be found in these reports. There was
no lack of courage on the part OF the reb-
els; they fought with the recklessness OF
desperation, knowing that the loss of Ma
nassas would be the loss of everything.
Now, when men, entrenched and defended
by masked batteries, suffer greater loss
of life than their adversaries in the open
field, there need be nothing further said in
proof of Union courage. The rebels confess
to having almost lost the fight, saying "the
victory was the result of the most dcsper-
ate, daring and dashing courage" Davis
seems to have been greatly elated on his re-
turn to Richmond. The Richmonders were
very jolly over tho loss of the Ellsworth
zouaves, whom they fondly believed had
been exterminated. They will find out
their mistake some day. They confess the
killing and wounding OF ITO of the cele-
brated Black Horse or Hampton Legion;
while OF the Louisiana Independent Bat
TALON of 400 men, commanded by the well
known 6llibuster, General Wheat, less than
100 escaped death or severe wounds.
The Richmond papers give one incident
of the late battle which the Congressional
spectators on the field must have consider
ed a specially affective dtspensation:
"When Capt. Kempter, who is now con-
sidered one of the very best artillery Of
ficers in the army, gave the command to
halt each man betook himself to some
grassy spot to test his weary limbs, but one
of the boys with more life in him than
his comrades, ascertained through some
source that grand dinner, prepared for
members of Congress and other invited
guests'-in the enemy's Gnmp-was some
distance in advance, aud raising himselfto
his full height. announced to his comrades
that DINNER was ready-trlmmlngs IN
The effect Of this announcement was cleo
trical. Every man was on his feet in an
instant, and in moment tho chase was
resumed Soon the wagons containing the
Congressional dinner were secured, and in
moment each boy had his bottle otcham-
paigne III is said there were five thousand
dollars worth of this sparkling beverage
outhe ground) and drank toasts to one
anothers health, the success of the day, &c.
So the Gongressman's dinner was eaten,
and Congressional wine was drank by most
deserving men on that day"

From south OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Tone
OF the Pregs--Various quo ms
Touching FthanctHl Matters
From Louisville, KY, ne received yes
terday bundle of Southern papers. The
tone of the Charleston papefs is not at all
buoyant. They see great deal of hard
and doubtful shedding yet in store for
the Confederacy. Says the Mercury:
We would again admonish the people of
the Confederate States that the real tug of
war is ret to come, and that this is the
time of preparation to meet it. The peri
cd will be brief before another and great
er and more decisive battle than either that
has yet occurred, will be fought between
the armies of the United and Confederate
States. Our condition should be well
scanned and adequately provided for. 1t
is now manifest beyond question, that our
numbers in the field are much interior to.
the enemy So weak have we been on the
Potomac that until recently it was deemed
almost criminal to tell the truth to the PEG
pie of the South, because the knowledge OF
truth. transmitted to the North, might
have exposed our forces to ,annihilatlon
from the overwhelming forces about Wash
ingtou. We have, tits true, just gained a
great victory-great in the superiority dis
PLAYED by Southern troops and Southern
cenerals-great in it's moral, and conse-
uuently its political, effects. But, from n
deficiency of troops, it has not resulted in
breaking the power of the United States
in Virginia or redeeming Maryland. By
the steady concentration of superior num-
beers, the enemy, knowing our inferiority,
expected US to give way in despair OF sue
cessful resistance. But the superior gen
eralship and admirable strategy of Beau
regard, backed by the promptitude and
energy of johnson, and the self-sacrihcing
valor of their commands, has disappointed
tue expectations of our foes, and turned
the tide of battle against great odds. The
struggle was trying, and many valued lives
have been lost. Yet the proper fruit of
such victory, in the destruction of the
defeated foe and the fall of Washington,
has slipped through our fngers-uot from
the want of generalship, but for the '0ant Of
troops. 1t would manitestly have been
uuwise to have risked another engagement,
with our troops comparatively few and
worn, against the fresh reserves of Scott,
assisted by the retreating army, and all
behind entertainments. Therefore the
battle must be fought over again; and it
should be the immediate care of Govern
ment and people that we be in condition to
make the next fight effective to the end
desired. Soldiers are wanted. No time is
to be lost in taking them. Grouchy stop
ped to eat dinner, and lost Napoleon the
battle of Waterloo.

rhyme is made, through thesame paper:

Although the government has met with

ought only TO prove the necessity of

vigorously the power of the Govern
ment in maintenance of the Constitution
and the laws. Let the energies of the
government be redoubled, and let it go on
with this war-not a war upon sections,
rot war upon peculiar institutions any
where; but let the constitution and the
Union be its frontispiece. and the suprem
acy and enforcement of the laws its watch
word. Then it can, it will go on triumph
antly. We must succeed. This govern
ment must not, cannot fail. Though your
flag may have trailed in the dust; though
retrograde movement may have been
made though the banner of our country
may have been sullied, let it still be borne
onward; and if, for the prosecution of the
war in behalf of the government and the.
Constitution, it is necessary to cleanse and.
purify that banner, say let it be baptized
in FIRE from the sun and bathedI in a ma
tion's bloodl The nation must be redeem

tion-which is based upon principles i'm
mutable, and upon which.rest the rights o
man, and the hopes and expectations of
those who love freedom throughout the
civilized world-must be maintained.

TIE FouLSEss OF THE CONSPIRACY.

When we look all around we see how the
Governors of the different States have been
involved in this conspiracy-the most stu
pendous and gigantic conspiracy that was
ever formed, and as corrupt and as foul MS
that attempted by Cataline in the days of
Rome. We know it to be SO. Have we
not known men to sit at their desks in this
chamber, using the governments station
cry to write reasonable letters and while
receiving their pay and sworn to support
the constitution and sustain the law, Gu
gaging in midnight conclaves to devise
ways aud means by which the government
and the constitution should be overthrown2
The charge was made and published in the
papers. Many things we know that we
cannot put our finger upon; but we know
from the concert of action, the regular steps
that were taken in this work of breaking
up the government, or trying to break it
up, that there was system, concert of ac-
ton. It is scheme more corrupt than the
assassination planned and conducted by
Catalina in reference to the Roman Senate.
The time has arrived when we should show
to the nations of the earth that we are
nation capable of preserving our existence,
and give them evidence that we will do it.
