HOW THE OHIO SOLDIERS WHERE RE
CEIVED in KENTUCKY.

correspondent of The Cincinnati Commercial,
writing from Flemiugsburg, KY. Oct. II, says
1--WE left the Fair ground, where we had been
since Monday night, near Maysville, yesterday
ut p. NJ and arrived here at g; and such u
welcome awaited us as no soldier ever had be-
fore God bless the people of Flemingsburg
The whole town turned out to greet us-bouses
Illuminated, handkerchiefs waving, voices, cheer
ing-a perfect ovation. The ladies prepared
supper Tor US with their own fair hands, and
waited on us in every possible way to make us
comfortable and glad. We not only had the sub
stantials in the way Of eatables, but deicacies Of
every kind-fruit. sweetmeats, cakes, SO. Talk
about Union people in Ohio, the KentuokiHns
beat us all. We have seen nothing like this
since we have been in service, and many of us
arc three months men, re-enlisted and have
been on duty in Virginia, Eastern aud Western.
No wonder 'Secesh' wanted to hold such State,
and no wonder that we have resolved, at any
cost, to sustain such loyal and generous people.
Ia the morning we received the same care and
attention. The ladies WED with each other 10
bestowing upon us their smiles, and what some
of us, perhaps, liked equally well, their hot oof-
fee, rolls, beefsteaks broiled and fried Chickens
&c. Wasn't this some for sOldiersg Who
wouldn't enlist to defend such homes as these
This is n much nicer town than had supposed !;
has an air Of comfort as well as business; and
the country hence to Maysvlle is certainly the
iuest have yet seen. tell you it was nice
sight to see those beautiful ladies going to and
fro like mnistering angels, as they aIe-mothers
and daughters--even the ohildren-with their
refreshments TO our jaded boys One such well
come Ond scene as this will repay countless pri.
vatons that may await us Every door was
thrown open to us; every hand was open to re.
ceive and welcome us. Can such a people
perish Never, never

THE OPENING OF THE PACIFIC TELE-
GRAPH

The Great Pacific Telegraph line, stretching
across continent was pu / into operation on
Friday last. Since then the President has re-
ceived number of dispatches over the line.
Governor DoWney, of California, expresses In
the name Of the people Of that State their con-
graluations at the completion of the noble en-
terprize that plnces them in immediate COM
muuication with the capital and with their fellow
citizens in the east. May the golden links Of
the Constitution ever unite us happy and free
people
The President and Secretary of tho California
Pioneers, the Oldest organization on the Pacific
coast send greetings to the President Of the
United States, as society loyal and as Il State
loyal. They pray God to save one and indiyisble
our glorious Union.
LELAND Stanford sends from Sacramento the
following;
ITO day California is but seconds distance
from the national capital Her patriotism with
electric current throbs responsive to that of her
sister States, and holds civil liberty and Union
above all price"
The Mayor of Stockton transmits the following;
"StocktOn sends greeting to your Excellency,
with the assurance that she is true to the Con-
stitution and the Union, aud for the thorough
crushing out of the rebellion"
Governor Nye, on behalf of the territory of
Nevada, dated Carson city, says :-"AlOuntian-
bound Nevada avails herself Of the earliest OPP
porlunity to send upon the wings of lightning, to
her national home, assurances Of her filial at
tachment to the Union us framed by our fathers,
and her sympathies with those who are striving
to maintain it,"
The following is dated at the capitol, Carson
city, Nevada territory, through her first Legis-
lutive Assembly;
"rO the President and people Of the United
| States greeting. Nevada for the Uniou-eyer
true and loyal. The last born of the nation will
he the last to desert iho flag. Our aid to the
extent of our ability eau be relied upon to crush
rebellion

BREAD VS.. COTTON.

Tho sovereignty Of cotton certainly appears to
be disputed by corn at this moment in remark.
ably direct competition. England and France
as we have been told for months, may be sorely
tempted to intervene in our affairs by their
urgent want of cotton. 1t happens however.
that while we have been fighting, and harvesting
the while magnificent crop Of breadstuifs Eng
land nnd France have suddenly found an enor-
nous deficiency Of grain staring them in the
face. OF the two cotton can probably be spared
more easily than bread. At all events, ii now
hapIcns that whenever either of these Powers N
tempted to consider whether the law Of nations
aud pence might not be adyantageousy bartered
for cotton, it has also to consider whether il
wishes to exchange dearth of cotton alone for
dehrth Of both cotton and bread.
We state the alternative in this form adyised-
ly. America is not the only quarter whence our
European friends can supply themselves with
food, but il is perhaps the most important source
to which they now resort, and has vast in
fuence upon prices upon their markets. II is
80 important source that they talk of drawing
from il nearly three million bushels per week
for year. We may safely say, then, that an
interruption of our exports by hostiities would
have the most disastrous effect for them. 1t
would Illustrate those nice calculations by which
in France the Government regulates prices so as
to steer clear Of revolution, and il would expose
England to dangers not equally great perhaps,
but yet sufficiently appalling And, at the same
time, the war which should interrupt our exports
of breadstufs would not insure England and
France their supply of cotton. With the ocean
swarmng with our private armed ships, whether
under the name of privatGers or sea militia, It
would be vain to look for the regular supply of
cotton. 10 no way could tile shipment Of the
crop be kept up in naval war in the which the
United States sought to prevent its reaching
market. We say, therefore, that the question
for the European Powers as war with this
country is simply whether they prefer TO lack
both cotton and bread.
For this year then, at any rate, ii seems to us
that the question Of peace is settled, even If no
higher considerations are to enter into European
counsels than those which we name. We do moi
believe the European Powers to be in position
to play the desperate game sscribed to them,
even if they are capable OF it, which we are far
from willing to suppose. Providence has not
only smiled upon us so far as to give us the
means Of the domestic prosperity and comfort
while carrying on this struggle, but il has by the
same agency insured US to a great degree from ex.
ternal interference from the only quarter whence
it was to be expected. 1t ia for us now TO see 10
it that this opportunity is vigorously improved
and that as the pressure which now constrains
our powerful friends abroad is removed, 80 tho
temptation which may urge them to recognize
the South MS an Independent Power is removed
also.-BostoH Daily AdDeTtiser.

The Truth Told.

"There has never been a time, from
the day Washington was inaugurated
first President of the United States, when
the rights of the Southern States stood
'firmer under the laws of the land than
they do now; there never was time
when they had not as good cause for Dis
union as they have to-day" = n
The Slavery question is mere excuse
THE election Of Mr.. Lincoln is a mere
'pretextl The present Secession move
'ment is the result of an enormous con
'spiracy formed by the leaders of the
Southern Confederacy more than twelve
months ago" o."-StPhen A. Douglas.

NOT TRUE.

Several rumors are ahoat respecting the Firs,

Monroe, calculated to give much uneasiness to
the friends and families of the soldiers of that
regiment We believe them all to be untrue
We are in regular receipt of letters from that

Niusr HELP UNCLE SAM FIRsr-A farmer in
Wisconsin had son who Joined the Eighth re-
giment of that State without his fathers consent.
Several letters were written by the father to the
son while the regiment were in quarters at Camp
Randall for the purpose Of persuading him to
return. At last hewrote him that he must come !;
that he had a large amount of thrashing to do
that he could not afford to hire help, if it were
to be had, which was hardly possible, owing to
the number of enlisimentsi and that he must
return home and help him, even if he enlisted
again afterward. The young man replied:
"Dear Father;-I can't go home at present
l should be very glad to help you, but Uncle
Sam has got mighty sight bigger job Of thresh-
ing on hand than you have, and I'm bound to
help him out.of the woods first"
