SPEECH FROM FRANK P. BLAIR
FRANK P. BLAIR was serenaded in ST. Louis on the
evening of the 10Th ult., and made = speech. He
said
Ihave never, like some gentlemen, allowed N.Y.
self to despair Of the safety of the Republic and the
triumph Of the Unisn; and never will despair OF
them because some individual happens TO be dissp-
pointed The safety of the country does not depend
upon any one man. One man csnnos save t. nor
can one man subvert il. 1t rests upon the People
and I am firmly convinced that they can and win
uphold it.
l presume, my friends, that this compliment has
some reference to recent events il this city, in
which took an active part. On that subject
will say that have no regrets to express, and no
apologies to make; had none to make in the pres
ence of armed power and in be, de; and Whatever
might have been the issue OF the affair no threat
or force could have wrung from me an apology or
concession. What l did, [ did from a sincere de-
SIRE to serve God and my country, and believe l
faithfully served both. | have ths satisfaction OF
knowing that the Administration approved nv
conduct, AID l am convinced the nation will sp-
prove it also.
As to the newspapers in this city, in the pay of
The z 1artermaster's Department, that have been
bounding after me, have but little to say. If the
tpIbtcd1 10 Union paper, as it proposes to be- il
is due TO the fact that of tS proprietOrs was
rested At Gimp Jackson and made to take the oath
Of allegiance and if there any merit in its con-
version to Uuionism, am entitled to q share Of The
credit And if the proprietor of the kepblicqa cap
tured at Camp Jackson should again become dis
loyal, it will be owing TO his release from his oath
by late stipulation for the exchange Of the Camp
Jackson prisoners for the brave men Of Aulligan's
Brigade.
As to the DtrccTut, hardly give i. a thought. It
told so many lies 10 ny favor, in the past that
suppose II is try ing to get eVen By telling as
many against me. But DO not believe it will live
long enough to balance the account. But, gentle~
men, will not proleng my remarks but again
thank ycu for your kindness, and bid you sdeu.

General sIarshaII,s DIVIsIon.-EaGersstIn


We had the pleasure yesterday Of meeting Judge
J. W. Moore, Of Mt. Sterling, member elect of the
Legislative Council, just arrived from the head
quarters of Brigadier General Humphrey Marshall
Judge Moore gives glowing account Of the con-
dition of affairs in South Eastern Kentucky. The
announcement CT the appointment of Gen. Marshall
to the command of that division created every.
where the liveliest demonstrations of delight Vol
unteers from Kentucky were fockiug to him in
large numbers, and as he advances into the State
they will rally around his standard in ouch mum
bers and with such enthusiasm will carry terror
into the ranks Of the Lincolnises who have invaded
our fair soil.
Gen Marshall has commenced his advance move
ment with fierce ample sufficient, and in very
short time it will be pleasing duty to announce
his arrival at Lexington or so Ae other point not
very far distant from Cincinnati. By the time he
reaches the Blue Glass region be will have large
aud formidable army Of the truest md best fighting
men in Kentucky.
Col JUhn S. williams regiment Of brave Ken
lucky mountaineers have been, thanks to the ener-
81 ano efficiency Of Judge Moore, amply provided
with an abundance Of good and comfortable cloths
ing. Judge Moore procured for them at Richmond
a1d took with him to their camp, 200 pairs shoes,
1000 overeoats, 1000 blankets and 1000 pairs
pInts.
Col. Williams, a few days since, went with 800
Of his commSnd on little expedition into Letcher
county wnere an intense Lincoluite, named Yer.
million, had been engaged in preparing and put
ting up provisions for Col. Garrard's regiment Of
Yankees. Col. Williams loaded twenty five wagons
with the produce Of 500 hogs nicely slaughtered
aud pacl ed, and other articles, and taking old
Vermilion prisoner safely returned to camp.
Judge Moore fully confirms the reports we have
already published to the lervere loss Of Gen Mel
son in the Ivy Greek fight. He further informs us
that Gen. Nelson having heard that Marshall was
marching on him, retreGted to Piketon in real Bull
Run and Wildcat style. So precipitate indeed, was
his retreat that sixty Of his hGrses were drowned
while crossing the river at Piketon and at the
time he lost two pieces of hz cannon in the river

An Ezpl1ntIion-My Position Defined and True Po-
SiiiOn of ohdt has heretofore been o,on as the Union
Party in East Tennessee shddooed forth.
In August last was elected to the General Az
sembly of the State Of Tennessee, as jInt repre-
sentative from the counties of Greene, JefFer-
son, Hawkins and Hancock, and was elected
as what was then known Z Union candidate,
there being large majority IN the district who at
that time preferred the preservation Of the old
Union. l would further state that the ratification
or rejection of the Permanent Constitution of the
Confederate States of America, was voted upon at
the same time, and that Constitution was ratified
by g large and Overwhelming majority Of the peoa
pie of the State. Further stated IN that canvass
that if elected did not believe that l could take
the oath to support the Constitution of the Confed
crate States, (Which was at that time very great
error,) but was founded upon this reason, that
did not think they had any right to require itwhich
proposition was argued at some length in Circular
which then published. | wish, however, further
to say, that never was for what was known a.
rebeLion In East Tennessee" and when the Greenv lie
Convention held lis session, did not in auy way par
tcipate in its action and when it understood that
the Convention would probably take high and ultra
ground, denounced it, and was seldom seen in the
Convention after that time. And wish further TO
ssy, that my recollection now is, and am well sat
sed that my recsllecton is correct, that after the
State had ratified the permanent Constitution, l
never made single speech, but advised scquieE-
cence everywhere.
However, ! must say, that under this very un1e-
sirable and peculiar state Of things, with pledge
not to take the oath, and representing what was
known at that time as Union constituency went

immediate neighborhoOi. The bridge was about
