Col. Gibson on the Stump In
Kentucky.

kentucky.
A gentleman who witnessed the
scene, relates n very interesting
event that recently occurred in one
Of our camps in Kentucky. A com
plny of prOiessed Unionists, about
150 in number, rode into camp one
day and requested to be armed.
Tue Quartermaster qnizzed them
closely, and finally concluded to
comply with theis request it they
would 20 under a certain command.
This they would not do. They did
not wish to be sent outside of the
limits ofthcir own State, and fur
thermore, they desired to fight on
their own hook. The Quartermas-
ter sent for Col. (better known as
"Bill'O Gibson. The Col. soon
made his appearance, mounted a
stump in the midst of the kontuck-
ians, and made q speech such as
he alone is capable Of making
Those who have heard Gibson need
no picture to illustrate that scene;
and those who have not, could form
no idea of its character from any
thing that we might say. lie warn
ed them Of the dangers by which
they were surrounded and said if
they did not go to work with every
means in their power-pitchforks
and pudding ladies If no better
weapons could be obtained-and
drive from their borders those who
had invaded their State to rob them
of their property, to destroy their
homes, and murder their wives and
children, they were towards and de-
served to be slaves. Ho drew a
vivid picture of their happy and
prosperous condition before the
rebellion broke out-of the ankle
ties and dangers of the present
and of the deep degradation which
awaited them, did they permit the
tyrants who controlled this rebel
lion to lord itoyor them. A breath
less silence reigned as the eloquent
soldier thus earnestly talked to en-
tranced Kentuckians whose cheeks
were well moistoned with the un-
conscious and fast falling tears
Well may it be said that when
ale ceased, the solemn silence now was
broke,
Which reigned triumphant while the hero
spoke;
And then was heard, amidst the general
pause,
The simultaneous burst Of leudspplause.
With hearts now full Of patriotic
fire, this guerrilla band gathered
about the gallant orator, took him
by the hand, and pledged to 90
forth under any commander, and
wherever the Col. would direct;
and not only they, but their sons,
brothers and neighbors should 60
with them.
Such is the poworof eloquence in
a true cause. These men had not
lost all their love of country and it's
fostered institutions, butit had been
a long time since they had heard a
truly free speech from the lips of q
free man, and the words sank deer
into their hearts and kindled with
in a fame Of patriotic fire which
win consume much Of the rebel rub
bish. All honor to Ohio's orator
soldier, say wei

The TWELFTH WARD NUIsANoEs.-The
prosecution, or as the victims term it, per-
secution, of the manufacturers of the
stencil which occasionally greets the resi-
dents of the Twelfth Ward has commenced
in earnest, one man having been fined 500
and costs, in the Police Court, and another
held over till Tuesday, when he will no
doubt be subjected to the same penalty.
The movement is said to have already eff
fected something, by compelling the soap
boilers to cleanse and whitewash their es-
Adjustments, according to the ordinances
relating to the subject.
To an amateur, however, the improvement
is not perceptible, but those who have be.
come so habituated TO it that their nasal
protuber0nces act as a sort of olfactometer
state that they can perceive change for the
better, amounting to about one half degree;
and this at the usual range of just 800, is very
encouraging, and forms basis for mathe-
matical calculation, how long, should there be
no remissness of the ardor of the prosecutors,
will it be till the whole nuisanceis removed,
a contamination devoutly to be wished.
But seriously, the attempt to correct with
out removing the nuisGnces, will be labor
thrown away. The city ordinances provide
against the extension of nulsances, and a
State law for their entire suppression. Soap.
boilers may strictly comply with the ordi
nsnces, and yet the stencil in the vicinity
will remain nearly as great as at present.

EXPENDITURES FOR THIRTEEN MONTHS.
The report concludes as follows


In reference to the main duty prescribed
by the ordinance, namely, preparing and re-
porting to the City Council plan for estab-
fishing and carrying on the University
founded by Mr.. McMicken, the Board have,
as yet, made no progress.
First. Because the suit instituted by Frank
lin Perrin against the city, in the Circuit
Court of the United States for the Southern
District of Ohio, for the purpose of setting
aside the entire devise to this city for found
ing the University, go long as it was unde.
termined, seemed to forbid any steps toward
instituting the University.
Second. Because the decayed and ruinous
condition ofmost of the property upon which
the University is to be maintained, renders
it in the unanimous judgment of the Board
unwise and in fact unwarrantable, to pro-
ceed in establishing the institution until a
genera fsn1eG rebuilding OF the estate can be eff
The references to the accounts of this
Board and the executors, clearly demonstrate
that the rents of the estate in the present con-
dition of the buildings will not, after deduct
ing the annual taxes, repairs, insurance and
necessary expenses of collections, and the
further charge of 81, 400 annuities, admit OF
carrying out the testator's idea oferecting and
establishing two colleges-one for boys and
one for girls, as prescribed by the thirty
second section of his will. =
In conclusion, we beg leave to state that
the telegraphic reports inform us that the
suit of Franklin Perrin against the City was
decided on the 25th of February, in the Su-
preme Court of the United States. The de-
cision is reported to be favorable to the city,
and if the information be correct, the Nc
Micken University may be considered as
within the power of the city.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
HOUSE OF REFUGE.-The annual report of
the Superintendent of the House of Refuge
was made on the 9Oth of September last, be-
fore the present regulations were made, and
hence but FIVE months of the present year
have expired, during which time nothing un-
usual has traDspired. The health Of the
inmates of the House of Refuge has been
good, and the discipline of the institution
enforced without difficulty. The school has
been productive of satisfactory results, and
many of the pupils have exhibited great
fondness for reading; and an appeal is made
for donations of suitable books for their
perusal, of which the institution is at present
sadly deficient.
The subjoined statement gives the num-
Der of inmates at the close of each month,
and likewise the number admitted and dis
charged during the same period:

Broomer, who resided about eleven miles
from this city, on the Harrison Pike, was
found dead in her bed, yesterday morning,
by some of her neighbors, her husband hay-

foul play was suspected, and an inquest was
accordingly held by Esquire Mills, and a
poStmOrtem examination had. After thor
ough examination, however, it was the opin-
ion of the physicians that she came to her
death from a heart disease, caused by ex-
cessive abuse, and the jury rendered a YER
