THE RIGHT SPIRIT IN THE
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.

A Frankfort correspondent of a Cincin.
natl paper states that the general tone and
tsmper OF the Kentucky Legislature is very
moderate, and Disposition manifested to
sustain tn, Government ut all hazards. The
following incident is given;
"A little incident that occurred during the
oaucus debate illustrates the temper oil the
members. The probability that the war
would end in the destruction of slavery was
alluded to. The strongest pro-slavery man
in the Legislature aud one of the largest
shareholders in Kentucky, arose and said,
As to that sir, | wish to say, here in my
place, that If the question comes to that,
though think it need not, but il it come 10
that, | will willingly lose every slave in my
possession, rather than see Kentucky prove
false to the Government Perish slavery,
cir long live the Government And the
declaration was received by that Kentucky
caucus with salvo OF vociferous cheers -
There is wisdom as well us patriotism in
this, for Kentucky would flourish and grow
without slavery but in disnembered
Union she would become desert. There
are doubtless thousands ofloyal men in Kan
tueky-too loyal madly to rush into scccs-
ion becauge slavery Is endangered by war
wsged for its benefit. Perish slavmy--

At $50 signals were made to Fort Pickens,
and at 10 we weighed anchor and steamed
in nearly to our position. The Richmond
did not go in at all, as the flag officer did
not think her shot took sufficient effect to
pay for being badly cut up. As soon as we

disclosed itself and although it burst shell
