PLAIN TALK IN KENTUCKY.-This
is the way Andrew Johnson talks to the
people of Kentucky,in his recent speech
at Newport, in tina. State;
Slavery was made the pretext tc
break up our glorious Union. There
was no right violated, nor never could
be, if the people would abide by the
Constitution. But, thank God the
people of the United States did not, dc
not, sanction this unholy rebellion, The
leaders of it tell you here in Kentucky
that slavery is in danger; but it is only
a pretext to terrify you and draw you
into the yawning gulf of secession. /
am Southern man, sharing the preju-
dices of my section, and = am no abolit-
onist, but tell you, my fellow country
men, that secession has done more harm
to-day than all the abolitionists in the
country put together since we were
nation. Cheers.
Men talk about their rights; will you
go to the South to get them? Will you
tell them in the South to come here and
get them for you? (Cries of No no!')
Your distinguished representative in the
United States Senate say distinguish
ed, for | use terms of respect toward him,
as would owarG any other secessionist
= labored hard for. l spent my money
to print and circulate his speeches, and |
stumped tie State of Tennessee to elect
him but stand here to-day to disavow
those acts. / disown him. He deceived
me. Thefault was his if he deceives
me again, he fault will be mine. | de-
sire to express my mind here, which l
cannot do m Tennessee, from which am
an exile. John C. Breckenridge was
not representing Kentucky when he was
sent TO the Senate by her people. He
was helping to break up the United
States. (Shouts of Down with the
traitors y
Talk ha, been made about compro-
mise Blu there is no sincerity in these
takers about compromise. What com

cannon pointed at your Capital. Treat
with them indeed If we carno. live
with them as we have lived, think you
we can live peaceably under a treaty !?
Never. Never,
am an e1ile--a fugitive, not from
but for justice, and my crime is my feeble
efforts to support the Constitution but
if the people of Tennessee could speak
to-day, an overwhelming majority of her
people would shout for the Union We
want Kentucky, who fought with us side
by side, at New Orleans, to come and do
so again and under the same flag for the
same cause--Liberty. If you give us
your help, the Stars and Stripes will
float over every Court House in the State
in a very brief period. (Cries of We

DEATH or JEFF. DAyIs.-A report
IS current that jeff, Davis, the pirate
president of the pretended confederacy,
is dead. 1t has been affirmed several
times in the Boston journal, and denied
as many more, leaving the public in anx-
ious doubt. We hope it is not so. We
want he should live to see the end of that
rebellion which he set in motion, believing
that its close will be far less pleasing to
him than its commencement.

f1s7 At the Brevoort House, New

about the reality OF Spiritualism, when a
wag came forward and said he had no

would lay $50 that he could make at
least a dozen of the bells in that room

from where he sat. Done !" exclaimed
the landlord and the money was mt an.

Mr.. RoEBUCK ON AMERICA.---Tht
following is from the London Times
report of this gcntleman's speech a
Sheffield:
He had now Travelled over Europe
and for few moments would cross the
Atlantic, and would ask what should be
the conduct of Englishmen with regard
to the great contest going on in America
lie owned that with regard to that coun,
try his early anticipations had been
shaken. lie believed in the great men
Washington, the Jeffersons, and Others
of past times (hear, hear), and that
there was about to be shown to mankind
new era in the government of man
that this people, instructed and well-to-do
in the world; many of them men of rank
would have governed themselves as men
ought to do. He had been miserably
disappointed (Hear.) If we were to
say of an American, We give you every
virtue under heaven, we believe you to
be the greatest people on the earth, but
still it seems to me you don't speak
English as it should be spoken; this you
speak through the nose, Caughter) fire
and fury will be the answer. He will
say, with mighty indignation, Sir,
grant you the imputation that we snaf1le
in our speech (aughter), and then all we
have stated on behalf of this nation will
be forgot, because we had said that they
snaiiled in their speech. (OhD That,
unfortunately, he (Mr. Roebuck) be-
lieyed to be true statement of the present
case. The unspeakable audacity, the
oyerbearing insolence of Americans
(hear, hear had Withdrawn from them
all sympathy on the part of the people
of England. (Hear, hear,) Looking
at the great contest now going on, was
there a man in this country who did not
in his heart desire that the slave might be
free? (Hear, hear.) These are with the
North, our commercial interests are with
he South, but still we have acted through
out with complete neutrality, and what
las been the consequence? We have
been visited with abuse as was never
before heaped upon US, and we have
borne it with magnanimity and care
essness which showed our superiority.
We must still, however, pursue our
course OF strict neutrality with regard to
he affair. Our hearts and our wishes
we're with the oppressed. After further
remarks, upon the slave question, Mr..
Roebuck resumed his seat amid great
applause il

DEATH OF Hon. THOMAS GLEED.-
The death OF Mr.. Gleed, which occurred
on Friday last, is an event which is
mourncd by all the County. Some idea
of the estimation in which he was held by
the public may be formed from the fac
that his funeral, on Sunday, was largely
attended, not only by people from al
parts of the County, but by quite a mum
Der from the towns adjoining this County
The number present has been variously
estimated at from $500 to 1900. Tn.
services were conducted by Rev. Mr.
Bartlett, the newly ordained pastor o.
the Congregational church at Morrisvlle
after which the Masons, of which order
Mr.. Gleed was a member, took the body
in charge, and committed it to the grave
with Masonic rites.
Previous to his death Mr.. Gleed gave
hopeful evidence of having experienced
religion, and expressed regret that his
life had not always been such as upon a
dying bed he could wish his friends to
initiate.
As a business man, Mr.. Gleed, for one
Of his years, was quite successful.
We hope next week to be able to give
a more lengthy account Of his life.-La-

100 yards this side of the earthworks.
Everything was quiet in that vicinity
on Sunday; but this morning the rebels
opened their concealed batteries, throwing
she'll into our picket encampments at
Baiey's cross roads Two shell fell

Washington, Sept. 8.
Private VIM. Scott, Company X, Third
Vermont Volunteers, has been found gull
ty by Court Martial of sleeping on his
post while sentinel on picket guard, and
has been sentenced to be shot, and the
sentence has been approved and ordered
to be executed the commanding officers
Of the brigade, regiment, and company of
the condemned, together with many Off
GERS and privates of his regiment, have
earnestly appealed to the Major General
commanding to spare the life of the Of
fender, and the President of the United
States has expressed wish that as this
is the first condemnation TO death in this
army for this crime, mercy may be ex-
tended to the criminal. This fact, view
ed in connection with the inexperience of
the condemned as soldier, his previous
good conduct and general good charac-
ter, the Major General has determined
to grant the pardon so earnestly prayed
for. This act of clemency must not be
understood as affordng a precedent in
any future case. The duty of sentinel
is of such nature that its neglect by
sleeping upon or deserving his post, may
endanger the safety of the command, or
even of the whole army. Private VIM.
Scott, of Co, X, Sd regiment of Vermont
volunteers, will be released from confne-
ment, and return to duty.

ONE of tla humanitarian movements OF times,

widely scattered communities. The population of the
An ercan states Is in many sections sp arse, that
skill'ul physicians hardly available to them. Vast
numbers of our people Obliged to employ in sick
ness, sHch medical relief as they can hear of from
each other, indeed any they get from any quar-
ter. Hence arises the great consumption OF Patent
Medicines among greater by far than in of the
old countries, where sklif physicians are accessible

themselves of this necessity palm off their worthless

tie people will no mere buy poor medicines instead OF
good, the same cost than they viii bra1 instead OF

vile compounds that food country discarded

THE WEAPONS OF THIS WAR.

The editor Of. Wilkes' (N ~ SPIRIT Of tho
Times is soldier now in Washington. In a
late letter to the Spirit, he thus remarks on the
weapons with which the battles arc likely to be
won:
Some Importance has been attributed to the
fact that the Southern men, as general thing
arc better marksnen than the soldiers OF the
North. and chat they will consequently possess
a great advantage through such superiority, IN
the hour of battle But while do not believe
that this is the case to any great extent, l would
not even il it were SO, give much consideration
to the fact for in battle but few special shots
are made and the coming struggle is not des'
tined TO be contest Of mere craftsmanship or
evolution. War began with the spear for Its
weanon after a variety of changes, through
several centuries, il yielded its refinemcnts, and
under Napoleon Ill, on the fields Of Magenta
and Solferino, came back to the spear again.---
On those bloody and bitterly contested fields,
the alert Zouave and the athletic Chasseurs
d'Afrque refused to accept of the rations Ut
powder and ball, when served out to the troops,
/ lust previous to battle nay, when the charge
was given, refused even TO discharge the loads
which were already in their weapons, but, rush
ing forward through the fire, they engaged the
Austrians hand 10 hand, and bayoneted them
in the ranks. This is unquestionably the true
RESOURCE of superior physical condition. On
this plan the coming war between the North
1 and South will surely be contested and IN part
evidence thereof, will merely point to the fact
that the Government has already taken away
the little costly breech-loading toys which the
munificence of New York put in the hands OF
Colonel Ellsworth regiment, and served out to
them the spear, in the shape of a saber, on the
end of a MIME musket and may heaven help
those under the edge Of whose bayonets these
81 pet lambs shall succeed in getting. There
will be some strange fighting, in which possibly
buttingo and wrestling and throttling may
form part but after short turmoil, the re-
suit will be a heap of slain and a flying rem
nant, each of whom will probably render YER
diet of the struggle in the exclamation that
+" those fellows are not gentlemen !" The saber
bayonet is also to be distributed throughout the
entire army, and L feel certain, from what /
have gathered through military men, that the
actual embrace Of battle man to man, is what
the Northern captains of this war intend mostly
TO RELY upon.
