The same hearty welcome was rsceiYed on our
second days march, and every soldier seemed to
think he the favorits of the citizens as be de-
meaned himself worthy a gentleman. Banners
were lining the road and beautiful little girls with
happy faces made many heart on that march beat
with thrcbs that are claimed by the hero. Our
march being short, we were soon enabled to report
ourselves to our commanding officer, Col Brown, at
Bowling Green who always receives the soldier as
his friend. We were soon encamped near Bowling
Green where we have remained up to this hour.
Our treatment at this place has been all soldier
could ask, which makes US feel we are among
friends
This brief note of our march we hope will be re-
ceived as Acknowledgements of our gratitude, and
may Kentuckians ever be proud of their kindness
to US in welcoming US to their homes, and in behalf
of our brave men return my gratitude, and can
only say, we hope to merit your honor when we
meet the enemies of kentucky on the stern field Of

soon came up, and the order of march being
given our column moved off with three loud cheers
for Kentucky, which was heartily welcomed along
the entire column. We were not in Kentucky ten
minutes until we were welcomed with demonatra-
tons Of joy. The old man and proud boy were
equally interested, and while the father uttered 4
prayer for our success, the son was shouting for
JEFF. DAVIS and TIE Confederate States. The flag
of the South hoated from every house, and each
seemed more beautiful as we moved on in order to

rhe LADIES and the volunteers.

We learn that it is the design of some of our
most accomplished ladies to give an entertainment
composed Of tableaux, music etc. at the Masonic
Hall on an evening of next week. From the wen
known taste and talent of the ladies who have pro
iscted this delightful entertainment we are con.
WINGED that it viii be in itself worthy of the an.
plsuse of the public.
The proceeds are to be applied for the benefit Of
orr Volunteers, and this noble object win OF
course. enhance its value in the eyes Of all
true patriots. The ladies are determined that our
brave volunteers shall not suffer- if their exertions
tqc. and industry can save them The gentlemen
shoald assist them in these audable enterprises as
we are sure they will They are now proving
themselves equal to our Revolutionary matrons in
true patriotism, selfsacrifce, economy and the
ingenuity with which they are constantly devising
plans for the relief of patriotic soldiers and for
assisting, in every way, the glorious cause OF
S-uthern Independence.
On this particular occasion, we hope to see the
large Hall of the Masonic Temple filed with happy
faces, who shall thus prove to our fair country
women that their efforts are fully appreciated,
and hat our whole city sympsthizes in their
onGeavors to do their whole duty towards
our country's brave defenders. Would that
some Of those brave fellows could visit u.s. if
only for one evening, to get the glimpse of those
graceful and elegant FORMS who, in their own lovely
manner, are working with such Tigor to sustain
them in the field. We know it would inspire them
with fresh ardor, to win the appreciation of those
who manifest 50 deep and unaffected an interest in
their welfare. .---

ELrnInckK in LOS.

How huuliiis ting and degrading is the position
occupied By the Legislature of Kentucky, in 1861
as compared TO that occupied by the memorable
Legislature Of 1898, when the patriots of that era
proclaimed doctrine, which has ever since served
as the durable corner stone of the Constitution until
the Government was desecrated by the accession of
LINCOLN to the Presidency.
The language, then held by their fathers, ought to
make every degenerate LincOlnite of Kentucky
bow bis head in the very dust in shame that he has
caused his State to sink so low. Read the manly
ard heroic State Rights doctrine of 1885, originating
ia kentucky end engraved on the heart Of the true
msE Of the Confederacy and then look on the other
picture presented to-day. One of these resolutions
IS expressed in the following language:
THAT the principle and construction contended
Tor by sundry of the State Legislatures" that
lie General Government is the exclusive Judge of
tue extent Of the powers delegated to it, stops
Iging shOrf Of despotism since the discretion of
these who administer the Government, and not the
Constitution would be the measure of their powers
that the several States who formed the instrument
being sovereign and ind pendent, have the uRques
0nalle right TO judge of the infracton; aud that
notification by these soversgnties of all unauthor-
e. acts done under the color of that instrument is
tre rightful remedy"

We were pleased to meet yesterday Mr.. W. N.
HLDENAN, the principal proprietor of the Louis
vile Courier, who has been exled from Louisville
Gu account of his political opinions and because he
had the manhood to publish an independent Journal
which fearlessly and ably exposed the usurpations
of,he yrant and usurper, who has filled with terror
and tears every Southern State which has not resist
ed his despotism. Our friend looks as cheerful and
spirited as though he were going to festival
instead Of being an exile from his family
s1d friends, and having his property confscated,
his business broken up and his habitation changed
b. the blood hounds of LINCoIx. He is conscious
that he has suffered sacrifice and persecution On
account of glOrions and noble cause, and he is
row ready to endure all that is necessary to see
kentucky released from the domination of the vul-
gar tyrant and his purchased minors. We invite
attention to the card of Mr.. HALDENAN, in another
c5lcInn, which corrects some misapprehensiOns re-
lat.ye to the card, in the Louisville Journal over

GEN. JoHNsToR's CHARGER.-At Messrs. May Il
Tufts mamouth stable on Court street, we sew yes
terday q magnificent charger intended for A. S.
Johnston, and presented 70 him by DR.. Merriwether,
of Arkansas If we not mistaken, 1t Is the cele-
bratsd racer Umpire that bred in this country
and subsequently taken to England, where, in Octo-
Der, 1860, he won match race for 600 soverigns.
He also ran in the Epson races that year, which
were won by Thsrrdhby against thirty starters,
and was seventh, but was not placed. In the same
year he ran in the Dsncaster st. Leger rscas(
st. Albans) and came out SIXTH but was not placed.
In appearance he il the beau ideal of a horse. OF
q dark sorrel, he stands ifteea hands two inches
in hight and to use the language of his groom is
climber Gs an eel. While in the stable there he pull
ed of one of bis shoes with his teeth.
If he be the original Umpire, his blood is among
the best in the country, we fad his pedigree In
the racing calendar of 1860, as follows: "Umprs,
CHI. c., TIRES years old, by Lecornte, out of Alice
CqrnesI by imp. SorpedOn Grandam RolcsnG by Sum

to the gallant leader at the head of our armies in

at cost of $4,000.
We understand that Mr. K. J. B. L. Vim is enN
gagged in manufacturing the saddle and accouter-
