Panics, from sligk and seemingly insignificant causes
have occurred in the hest dred and bravest Of armies
and they prove neither the want of discipline nor OF
courage on the pant OF the soldiers This checA hat
taught invaluable lessons which we could not pave
learned from victory, while the dauntless daring os-
PLAYED By our volunteers is full Of promise for the
future. Not TO mention the intrepid bearing OF other
regiments, who doubt future when ne recalls
the brilliant charges of the New York Sixty Ninth aud
Of the Minnesota First and Of the Fire Zouayes !
Leondas himself, while surveying the Persian hos1
that, like troubled sea, swept onward to the pass
where he stood would have been proud OF the leader
ship of such men. We shall rapidly recover from this
discontinue, which, after ALL vi serve only TO nerve
TO yet more extraordinary eXertions the nineteen
millions of people who have sworn that this republic
shall persh and perish it will not, perish IL can
not, while this oath remains. -
When we look away TO that scene Of carnage, az
sire wed with the bodies Of patriotic who court
death for Themselves, that their country might i've,
and then look upon the homes which their fall Gas rem
dered desciae forever, we Teallze-what thlnh tIe
popular heart In It's forbearnce has never completely
Comprehended-the unspeakablo and hellish atrocily
Of this REBELLION. II 10 a perfect saturnalia OF demo-
mac pas ion. From the Teddeued waters OF Bun Kun
and from the cory field of Manassas there IL now

ated men against those ieDds in human shape, VINO,
drunken with tue orgies of an internal ambition, are
filling to it, bim the cup of nations sorrows Woe
woe, cay, 10 thete traitors when this appeal shai De
answered!
must offer you my sincere congratulations on The
leadership of that true patriot ard soldier, around
whose standard you have gathered When others
hesated be was decided; when others faered he was
bold. The Government laid its hand on bis loyal
bosom and found il burning with the inextngui-hable
fires Of patriotism at time when go many Others from
the best motives in the world carefully packing
Themselves away to keep in the ices OF neutrality
honor him, Kentucky will honor him, the nation Will
honor hin.
When you move as soon you may, TO the seat OF war;
Kentucky, despite the whi.pered caution Of ponciane,
will cheer you on and will hang with prsyeln solicit
tude over You, alike upon your march and amid the
heady currents Of battle. Loyal men everywhere arc
exelaiming God speed you" and IAN hail to your
courage and patriotism" Glory beckons you onward
ard upward, and could the ustrious dead heT in the
graves where they sleep, your every football as you
advance to your co1ntrys battle fields would be nufic
10 their .ars
am Grateful to you ALL but especially to our fair
country women, for this distinguished reception. 10
can never be forgotten that it was from Spartan
mother that came those words Of heroic patriotism
which have never been ehualed by any that have
fallen from the lips Of man. For more than twenty
centuries the deepening shadows have fallen upon the
rivers and the seas, upon the mountains ard the plains
of the past anl yet from the midst OF all this gloom
these words siill CLEAN ont upon us like lightning from
a Summers cloud. For more than two thousand
years the earth has been conyued aud shaken to IFS
moral foundations; nations and generations OF nations
have risen and perNhed by slow decay amid the
shock Of balles and the wall Of stricken has
gone up the Sepulchres alike Of men and OF Gnu
pires.
Yet above ALL these words have noated down TO us,
and stll float abroad mon tho airs of tho world like
some kindlng strain Of music caught up and ever
repeated with flashing eyes and heard with wildly poll
satng hearte. Such is the power Of patriotism, and
such the fpe it, truthful expression exers the
great spirit Of humanity. TO woman, timid in
the sunshine but brave in the storm, offer
thanks for ths and we feel that must shut
TO the voices OF her love- and veil souls from the
illuminaions Of her presence, before cease TO
be willing - live and die in defense Of those instl
tu,ious, which, than all others that have existed,
have given TO her that position Of dignity and moral
power which the shining impress che bears from her
Creator hands 60 fully entities her TO occupy.
