The Stump.

Since our civil troubles have begrn, the
champions OF Unionism in Kentucky have
exerted themselves TO the utmost TO reach
effectively the popular standard OF CO nmu-
nication and thought amongst the people of
their State. Hence the controlling intel
lects OF the Union cause have gone upon
the stump, and proclaimed the justice, the
truth, and the necessity, involved in the
preservation of the Union. Among the
most effective of the yonng men who have
thus become apostles for the difFus on of
Union principles is Laban T. Moore. of
Morgan county, known tamiiarly by the
sobriq1et OF The "Monniain Boy" He serv.
