OLD KENTUCKY.

Glorious old Kentucky The telegraphic
news that we publish to-day Is the brightest
sign in the heavens that we have yet noted
How this stauneh old State puts Virginia and
Tennessee to the blush. She remembers her
gallant Henry Clay She holds by the mem
ores and associations Of the past The
Breckenridge glamour is dispeled, and the
principles in which she was baptised keep her
true in this day Of her trial. She endorses
her noble son, Col. Anderson, and is now
ready TO form into the ranks that are keeping
step to the music of the Union Our heart
beats stronger and our eyes grow moist as we
read this account Of her loyalty. 1t will linz
it the evils and duration of the war. 1t makes
the position Of the usurped conlederacy more
hopeless. and brightens the da1.lt yet neces-
sary road before the U. S. Government God
bless old Kentucky
~ The Missouri Republicans a " halfand.
hall sheet, with procivities heretofore to-
ward the secession side, says that there is no
mistakiug the purport Of Gen. Harney's pro-
clamation. 1t says:
" Tho State Of Missouri is so enfladcd and
controlled by the military forces levied by
the United States Government, that it would
be worse than madness TO think of opposing
them with any expectation Of success
The R'pp5iiean advises the people Of the
State to dismiss their fears, and in conclusion
says: Let there be peace all over the State
for month or two and it cannot be other
wise than that it will be perpetual"
1t is proposed by the Davis Government to
buy up half the cotton crop, and pay for it in
Confederate bonds. Thi, is one Of those
twisting. squirming devices to raise the wind
in tight times, when ingenuity is at her wits
end. u the season should be good, and V
the staple could b. carried 70 market, and If
the rebellion should continue to gather force,
and Y The owners should be willing to give
Up their bales for bonds-to take iepudiated
paper instead Of good British gold,-aud If
various other serious difficulties can be dis
posed Of, this arrangement would realize the
snug sum Of one hundred millions of dollars.
The processes Of nature, however, are not
half so fast as the desires and ambition Of as
piring men. Other powers are at work in
the meantime. and we hope that before the
cotton is ripe secession will be deaa-ripe.

Between here and Alexandria the troops
have made good progress in throwing up en-

regiment is in command at Alexandria. Flags

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

NEW YORK, May, -.
A dispatch 10 the Herald from Washington
says il appears that more than month ago
our government gave notice to the powers Of
Europe who took part in the Congress Of
Paris in $50, that they we're willing to ac-
cept he code they adopted at that period,
which declared privateerng to be piracy.
The government has received the amples,
assurances from Austria that she will not have
anything whatever 20 do with the rebel
States. Prussia has not hesitated TO manifest
in plain terms her unequiyocal sympathy with
our eanntry.
The Secretary OF State has given notloet0
Mexico and other States that the Monroe
doctrine will be carried out with all the oner-
gy and resources Of the government, and no
thing in the shape of foreign Intervention will
be tolerated or submitted to for single hour.
Mexico has been assured in the most positive
language that she can depend on the active
support Of this country, should any European
power attempt 10 violate her soil.
Warning has been given to Spain that if
she ventures to accept the artful prefer Of Do
miniea, she will do SO at her Feril.

How Wars ARE DEctDED.---Succossfu
wars are usually decided on given point and
ia a single day. 1t is the greatest error to
suppose a campaign extends to every village
in State, aud is composed of a series of lit
tic combas. Russia was overwhelmed at
Austerlitz and Friedland by troops that had
never seen her soil. Napoleon was hurried
from his throne at Waterloo. Austria was
BUNDLED at Soierino, and the victory OF
Wolfe at Quebec. won Canada for England.
In the Crimea, the egons OF Nicholas were

The secession authorities of Tennessee have
hit upon an ingenious plan for disarming the
Union men, as will be seen by the following
extract from recent proclamation issued by
Governor Harris:
All volunteer organizations in the State
who have heretofore drawn arms, and do not
now hold themselves in readiness for imme
diate service, are hereby required to return
them to me Immediately, at the State Arsenal
in Nashville, or the penalties of the law will
be enforced"
Having once got the arms into their pos
session again, of course the State authorities
will see that they 60 only into the hands OF
relinhle secessionists.

WAsHINGroN, May "a.
The 69th regiment has captured 800 rebel
troops on the Orange and Alexandria Rail-
road, near Alexandria A considerable num-
Der Of regulars are among the garrison of Al
exandria It is believed here that simultane-
Gus movements were made by the govern
ment forces last night at Harper's Ferry and
Norfolk. 1t is reported that the steamer IN.
Vernon narrowly escaped sinking before land
ing the Zouaves at Alexandria. Injuries had
been inflicted on her hull probably the work
Of secessionists at the Navy Yard. Govern
ment has succeeded in securing all products
Of ARM manufacturers and cannon founderies
in Britain, which are permitted to make arms
for foreign states for the next three months.
The government is in possession Of intell-
gence from Baltimore. leaving no doubt that
the pretended Union feeling in that city on
the part Of certain prominent men is hypo-
critical, and that the presence Of troops alone
has kept in check the enemies Of the govern
ment. Positive information has been received
of new conspraces against federal authori
ties in which many leading citizens of Balt-
more are involved. Men, who in the pres
ence of L. S. Troops have loudly proiessed
devotion to the Union, aIe known to be Sc
cretly laboring to turn Maryland over to the
rebels.
An advance of secessionists stationed at
Culpepper is expected. The post of rebels
is 81 miles from Alexandria. 1t has been re-
ported that the force there is formidable, but
we feel assured that Gen. Scott has directed
the advance with full understanding Of all be
has to encounter, and the right must triumph.
All is quiet at Alexandria The New York
Goth regiment is throwing up breastworks at
Arlington Heights, Sherman's Battery and
the District militia command the Maryland
shore above Georgetown, and will meet the
attack of forces moving from Harpers Ferry.
