It is true that twice sought an interview with
Gen. Mcclellan. 1t Is equally true that he had pre-
with me. know that his purpose was 70 discharge
his duty to the Government which ne serves with
such fidelity and ability. He knows that my pur
pose was to make such arrangements with him as
would tend to preserve the peaceful attitude Of
Kentucky. The objects to be attained BY either
party were suficient reason for seeking desir-
ing an interview.
Ny letter to you Of the 10th inst, presents in my
opinion, a concise and accurate report Of what
call an arrangement and Gen. Mcclellan in his
dispatch to you, calls understanding" result
ing from this interview. The misrepresentation in
reference to that understanding, am satisfied does
not rest with me; because my own opinion as to
the correctness of my Statement is fortified by that
of other gentlemen. one Of whom was present at
the Interview, and whose recollection corresponds
with mine. r-
Gen. Mcclellan by his dispatch seems to regard
my promise to drive out the Confederate troops
as the only result Of the interview" might, with
equal reason, regard our exemption from the pres
ence of Federal and Confederate troops as the only
result of that interview. If my only object was to
announce my purpose to drive out the Confederate
troops it was needless to meet him. The result, in
my Judgment, was the agreement reported in my
letter of the 10th inst
Gen. Mcclellan states that he "made no stipulas
tons on the part of the General Government. In
the sense in which his dispatch to Capt Nels on
| reads, regarding the interview as personal not
official this view Is correct But his action as an
officer of the Government necessarily binds him
within the limits Of the agreement. The nature
and extent Of that agreement are distinctly stated
in my letter. 1t is an agreement or understand
iug resulting from Hthe policy which we viii adopt
towards Kentucky" The right of Kentucky to
claim the position she had assumed was neither
conceded nor discussed, but was denied by Gen. Nc
Clellan. twas simply the policy of permitting
Kentucky to do what she has always done hereto
fore, execute the laws within her own limits or
the policy of thrus.ingiupon her needless war We
were agreed as to thar policy and the result of
that concord of opinion was the agreement report
ed.
Whatever view Gen. Mcclellan may take of 1t.
whether personal or official there can be no doubt
that he will fully comply with the agreement en-
tered into between US. The wisdom of his policy
is sufficiently demonstrated by The peaceful results
which have followed it.

FOurth of July.


This day, the anniversary of American lndepen>
dence, has ever been hallowed by the people Of the
South as the brightest in their history. Their IA
theirs achieved their independence from the tyranny
of King GEORGE and a heritage of freedom and
prosperity was transmitted to them, which they
have ever cherished as the most priceless boon of
Heaven. They yet love the day and its glorious
associations. The same spirit that animated WASH
NGToN and JEFFERSON to strike for freedom has in
spired their sons to throw off the thraldOm of a
more hateful despotism, and dare be free. The
spirit of 76 still lives and burns in the hearts Of
their descendants. We see it to-day in the heroic
stand of the eleven Confederate States, the mar
shaing Of their chivalry, and the determination Of
the embattled hosts of the South to "do or die"
We see it in the determined resistance to tyranny
and usurpaticn which fills every patriotic bosom,
in the mutual pledges of the people TO maintain
their rights at every sacrifice save that of honor
Those who stood side by side with them in the
first Revolution are now their enemies and oppress
ors This has cast gloom over the 4th of July of
1861 While with hearts, full of reverence for the
sages and soldiers Of &C. they cherish and initiate
their example, and are determined to reenact their
heroic deeds in defence of their rights, they yet
pause in the celebration of this day, because they
are in the midst of one of the granted revolutions
of history. When they shall have laid aside their
srmor, and can look forth upon their land, freed
from the invader they viii claim this anniversary
their own by the right of two glorious and victori
GUS wars by the heroism and sacrifices of their ia

fend their liberties and by the bright deeds with
which they viii maintain them against the oPpres>
