that such knowledge must be of the
highest value to captains and commer-j
The following is we'll calculated to
make the rising generation proud of
the noble spirits who shed SO much lus-
tre on their country's name during the
memorable war Of 1912 with the then
proud mistress of the seas: t
The most brilliaut naval action of
the last war was undoubtedly that of
the old American frigate Constitution,
(44) commanded by Com. Stewart,
when she captured the two British
corvetts, Cyane and Levaat, Of a great
ly superior force each of them being
equal to the old fashioned thirty-three
gun frigates. The handling of the
American frigates was throughout,
scientific and unexceptionable. nv
By no manuvering could either of
the British vessels obtain position to
rake The Constitution: shift their ground
as they would. Old 1ronsides was be.
tween them blazing away upon both
vessels at the same time
During the whole action, Stewart,
instead of mounting the horseback,
sat in a more exposed situation, astrds
the hammock nettings. the better to
observe the maneuvering of his antag.

strike to Brother Jon~than-not an un-
usual thing with British vessels during
that war. The first lieutenant came in
haste to announce the fact.

PROFESSOR MoCoY's LEcruRE.-Mr. Editor
was happy to be informed, few days ago
that there was an almost universal wish ex,
pressed to have Professor Mccoy repeat his
most admirable aud entertaining address, de,
livered on the l7th instant, at the Thirteenth
Street Baptist Church, on the subject Of " the
adoption Of the Constitution of the United
States and English Toryism" Certainly, no one
who heard that address would fail to hear II
repeated, even at price. For beauty Of sty le
and excellence Of delivery Professor Mccoy is
excelled but by few, to say nothing Of the
original ideas with which he treated his hear,
ere, and bursts of true eloquence which again
and again brought down the house." Every
patriot should hear this address, and, unless the
fires of patriotism have quite died out, he must
feel the fame rising and burning under it.

IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY.


Affairs in Kentucky are assumiog "a very
important aspect. The Govcrnor has tsHed a
proclamation ordering General Thomas y Crit
s,nden to exscass the purposes contemplated
by The recent resolutions Of the Leg stature In
reference 70 the expulsion of invaders. Gen
Crittendon has accordingly ordered the militia
Of the State to be mustered for thwith into the
service.
Brigadier Hamilton Pope, Of the Home
Guards, also calls upon the people In each
ward in louisville to meet and organize into
companies for the protection Of the city.
Col. Crittenden, from Indiana, with fine
regiment arrived in Louisville on Friday last
and was received with great enthusiasm by the
citizens; and on Monday, the forty-ninth Ohio
also arrived, and were addressed by General
Anderson, who inspired them with great Gu
thusiasm. 1U. -a
Brigadier General Ward had also arrived in
Louisville, and will Immediately take command
in Central Kentucky.
Nothing is yet known Of the movements in
Southern Kentucky, as all telegraphic commu-
nication is cut off south of the Lebanon juno,
| tion. ....
While all Is activity among the Union men,
the rebels are not idle, inasmuch as body Of
seven or eight thousand Confederate troops
with twenty-one cannon, arrived at Bowling
Green (on the railroad, about twenty miles
from the Tennessee line,) on Wednesday
taking possession of the cannon there and
some 12O stand Of arms belonging to the Bow
ling Green Home Guards. and had sent 81,
cannon and 1000 men TO Gen. Roger W. Han
son, the Confederate commander on Green
river
On Sunday last, the following proclamation
appeared at Louisville: r
PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL. ROBERT ANDERSON Tt
THE PEOPLE OF KENTUCKY.
Kentuckians, Called by the Legislature o.
this my native State, hereby assume command
of this department l come to enforce, not tc
make laws: and, God willing, to protect youl
lives Enemies of the country have dared tt
invade our soil. Kentucky is in danger. She
has vainly striven to keep the peace with bel
neighbors. Our State Is now invaded by thost
who professed to be her friends, but who now
seek to conquer her. No true son of Kentucky
can longer hesitate as to his duty to his State
and country. The invaders must, and, Goo
willing, will be expelled. The leader of the
hostile forces who now approaches is, l regre
to say, a Kentuckian, making war on Kentucky
and Kentuckians. Let all past differences O
opinion be overlooked. Every one who nov
rallies to the support of our Union and oui
State Is q friend Rally, then, my countrymen
around the flag our fathers loved, which ha!
shielded US SO long.
Icall you TO- - for selfdefence and 70,
the protection that is dear to freemen
Let us trust inn bud do our duty as did ou
fathers. &

LATEST f4SM:slsseun'.

The latest telegraphic newAir Lexington
Is quite contradictory. One statement is, that
Colonel Mulligan, with his whole command,
had surrendered to Price, on Friday morning
at five o'clock that the siege continued from
Monday until the surrender, and that the Union
forces were without water during Thursday and
Friday. Their estimated loss being about 900
killed and wounded, to 1000 killed on the
rebel l,.a sid'' 's with large number
In opposition to this, a dispatch was received
by the Chicago Tribune, on the evening of the
22d, from headquarters at St Louis, which says
that the reported surrender of Colonel Multi
gan is not believed there, and that reinforce'
ments we're pushing towards him from tour
different directions.
The steamer War Eagle, from above Jeffer
son City, arrived at that place on the 22d
| This steamer, together with the Iatan, with the
Indiana twenty second and eighteenth regi
ments on board, accompanied the steamers
White Cloud and Desmoines, with the Indiana
tweniy-sixth regiment aboard, as high up the
river as Cambridge [about so miles below
Lexington j where they captured the steamer
| Duubuluc, StlZcu u suOrt tiiit blnCe ny Ututrd

Union flags were flying at Glasgow.
The steamers War Eagle and Iatan returned
from Cambridge, the former to Jefferson City
and the latter TO Boonville. The steamers
White Cloud and Desmoines went on the rivel
to reinforce Lexington.
While all four boats were laying up for The
night, short distance below Glasgow, two de
tachments were sent out to reconnoitre. IL
the dark they encountered each other, and eaof
mistaking the other for the enemy, fired, anG
before their blunder was discovered four mer
were killed and several wounded. Among thu
wounded is Major Gordon Tanner, of the In
diana twenty second regiment. 1t is feared
his wounds will prove mortal.
~ The fght at Blue Mills, on the 17th, in
which the third Iowa, Col. Scott, lost largely
is confirmed. The loss was FIVE killed, sil
missing, and eighty-four wounded. The sec

Smith, as reported by kilograms, yesterday, i

THE, sRRRT OUTSWHAT THE nary
LAvD LEGISLATURE INTENDED TO DO.
One Of our editorial corps, who has just re-
turned from Maryland, says that on Saturday
last, there was Union meeting at Pumphrey's
Mills, in Anne Arundel county, Maryland,
upon which occasion one Of the speakers read
. letter from secession member Of the Legis
lature to former seoessionist, with whom he
had acted in concert, but who is now q loyal
Union man. The letter Of the traltorous legls'
lator, informed his supposed friend that the
Legislature would meet, organize, and adjourn
on the fret day. and that on the morning Of
the second day, the ordinance OF secession,
which had been prepared with great care
would be passed, and on that day the seces
sionists throughout the State were to meet In
their respective precincts, where they were tc
remain until they received orders from Anna
polls how to proceed. ,.--. ..
The gentleman to whom this letter was ad
dressed was requested to rally his secession
neighbors, and to meet at certain designated
place, where they would be met by the write,
of the letter, who would take command ant
act 10 accordance with the preconcerted plan
1t is now evident that the prompt and ener
petio action of the Administration, in arrestini
the leading members Of the Legislature, no
only prevented the passage Of the ordinance o
accession, but frustrated all the matured plan
of the rebel eonspirators. 90 So
