Mn, RANDALL's LECTURE. Tho First Baptis,
Church was not only densely crowded and pack
ed on Sunday evening, but many went away
unable to obtain seats or standing room. Mr..
RANDALL gave, in his usual pleasing and unaf
fected style, az account Of his trip down the
valley of the Jordan to Jericho and the Dead
Sea. His description Of these and other inter.
esting localities in the same region, with fire..
quent allusions to the great events, both In
sacred and profane history, that had transpired
there, made deep impression upon the large
audience, whom at the conclusion of the lecture
he left thirsting for more.
We do not profess to be qualified to give ad'
vice in such matters, but would suggest whether
the frequent introduction Of such topics into the
pulpit would not be more profitable, both to the
cause Of sound morality and true religion, to
say nothing Of intellectual culture, than the dry
discussion Of controgerted points in polemical
theology.
The public will be pleased TO learn that Mr..
RANDALL intends to resume bis lectures on the
Holy Land in two or three weeks, Of which due
notice will be given.

Union Meetipg in LouisvilIo.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. TIA young man from
Richmond, OF secession proclivities, apparently
we'll informed of the designs Of the Confederate
army, says they intend an immediate advance
and predicts fighting at the Relay House on the
18th. He says the Southern army 10 we'll pro
vided with blankets, etc., for the winter cam.
paign, and in o high state Of discipline. He
says also, IL is the universal desire TO attack
Washington.
A peace meeting, called by prominent seces-
sionsts, for this evening, was held at the court
house. As the crowd entered the hall many
were singing the Star Spangled Banner.
Jas Speed, Unionist, was called to the chair.
James Trabue, secessionist, was also nominated
by the persons calling the meeting. A division
of the house took place, when Speed was
elected. ty
The secessionists, numbering 100, Withdrew,
shouting for the Southern Confederacy. Speech.
co were made by Messrs. Speed, Wolfe, Har.
Ian and others, and resolutions adopted without
o dissenting voice. After the preamble, stat
ing that there Is no mistaking the position Of
Kentucky in the present civil war, and that this
is unalterably for peace, IL was resolved, first,
that while this State desires to be true to the
Union, 1t also desires to have peace with the
people of all the States; second, that we earn.
estly desire the restoration of peace In every
part Of our beloved country, and as the
speediest and surest mode Of effecting that re-
suit, we appeal for cessation of the war now
being made for the Union; third, that we be-
hold in the dissolution Of the Union remedy
for no evils, but aggravation Of all; fourth,
that we do not see how peace, enduring and
substantial, ia to be obtained by the establish.
ment Of two Independent Governments within
the present Union; the fifth, that we deprecate
the attempt being made to produce by force
disruption Of the Union; sixth, that for the
purpose of restoring peace, all patriotic men
should abandon sectional parties, North and
South, and the rights of the Government should
not be abandoned at the dictates of armed re-
bellion; seventh, that Kentucky neutrality but
foreshadowed her love Of peace; that all nego-
tiations looking to the Constitutional settlement
of sectional differences for the preservation of
the Union should receive her hearty co opera
tion; eighth, that we are unwilling that any
foreign power shall own the mouth Of the Mis-
sissippi river or any parts of the Union, and
therefore we are unalterably opposed to the dis
solution OF the Union. We are for the country
now and forever, whether assailed by foreign or
domestic enemies.
