Just at that moment, big with the fate
OF an empire, messengers came dashiug into
the lines OF the combatsnts, aud informed
Gems. Patterson and Johnston that two or
three thousand slaves, six or eight miles
away, taking advantage Of the fight, had
risen IN rebellion, proclaimed jubilee, and
were In full flight toward the North star.
Instantly the bugles Of the Federal and
Confederate armes sounded a truce, and
each took up the line of march in double

TEE SECESSION MEETINd.-We are informed
by respectable parties that the meeting In
this city, whose proceedings were published
in several of the Cincinnati papers yesterday,
the Press Included, was not of a character to
eptitle its doings to notice; that it was COM
posed mostly of boys and thoughtless young
men, and tbat its officers had no desire to
stand before the public in the light of Seces-
siODists; that, in short, the affair was meant
to be rather burlesque than a serious per-
formance. r
TAKING TIME BY THE FoRELouK. The
change of affairs in the South has created
some change in matters Immediately around
u.s.. For instance: W. E.. Ashbrooke, late
Sheriff of Kenton County, left our city yes
fterday morning en- route to New Orleans,
where be will henceforth act as agent for the
cattle raised in this region. He will estab-
lish pens there, to which our stock can be
shipped without moestation from the vigil
ance committee in that lovely city.
PoITcE MATTERs.-Sunday afforded some
business for the Mayor. He sat yesterday
morning in Judgment upon the cases of Wa.
Miller and Larry English, who were arraigned
for q breach of the peace, james Hemau,
for the same offense, was fined. SO TO- Pat
Collins, for resisting an officer, was fined SIS,
and for a breach of the peace, Sc 70, which
ended the chapter.
RATHgR PREMATURE.-It has been ap-
pointed by City Council, that an election be
heltto- morrow at the regular, polls in the
city, to amend the city charter by q vote of
the people, So that an additional tax can be
levied. The time of its appointment is at too
early day, and Council met but lastevening
for the purpose of agreeing upon postpone
ment Of the day.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-Speeial Wash
ington dispatches report much diversity of

1t is understood that the delegation from
Ohio, except Gov. Chase, favor Cancellation.
The Pennsylvania delegation is considered
to be radically opposed to comp romise.
The success Of Corwin's propositions is re-
garded as certain, with slight notifications.
A gentleman from the interior of New
York, owner ofimuob property ia Washing
ton, has rendered it to Gen. Scott for mill
taTy purposes.
II is said the Virginia delegation have re-
solved TO declare the determination of the

torial question which is not applicable to all
future acquisitions.
The Secessionists are earnestly urging the
Commissioners from the Southern States to
demand the withdrawal of the Federal troOps
from Washington before taking action.
Letters to Gen. Scott state that attempts
will be made to poison the horses of the ar
tillery companies in the District.

ment funds, which will be laid before Con,
gress.

an occasion.
DESTINED FOR JEFFERSON BARRAcKs-We
are informed that $50 troops at the Newport
Barracks will leave, this morning, IN the
0hie and Mississippi Railroad, for Jefferson
Barracks. There is some speculation among
our people as to whether that is their dCtadi
destination.
WOMAN SERIOUSLY IEJuRED.-An elderly
woman, by the name of Mrs. Mock, met with
an accident, which resulted in breaking her
collar bone. She was attempting to pass
down Fight of stairs, when she fell to the

called to attend upon the lady.
0SR TEE LESS TO FIGHr.-The soldiers of
! the Newport Barracks turned ont yesterday

your paper, to arrive at some conclusion
concerning the proposed object ofits publica-

but why does it go at all and why ~ it
called THE Pass -
Is it because you take the milk of human
kindness and, adding the rennet of youth
full asceticism, send the curd to the press2
If SO, why not call it the cheese2 and what

sit because you gather the grapes from
the vines of thought into the press, and
then put your foot into it2 and, ifso, what
becomes Of the lees2 and at what age is the

you do when the gin gives out, as it May if
the Union goes up2 and where is your re-
corded tribute to the Old London Dock who

Is it clothes press, where men can find
garments in which to dress d-la-taode any
opinions which they may chance to form,

Or is it because copy sent one sided to the

Day by day, holidays not excepted, have
we asked ourselves these and q thousand
