Legitimate ofsprings of the political immortality
and fanaticism SO alarmingly prevalent in the

men without distinction of party in an honest

The Number of Dead.

Rebel correspondents, soldiers, and Off
GERS, still continue to report all along from
1000 to 5000 dead men on the battle field
at Bull Run. Now, as the National troops
lost less than 300 killed, whose dead are the
other and far greater number? The com-
handing officer who refuses to make an Of
fetal report of his loss, is not above the
suspicion Of burying his own dead, and
counting them as of the enemy. This was
easy at Bull Run, where several regiments
had uniforms and arms almost exactly like
some of our forces. If there were fifteen
hundred dead bodies on that field-and that
is about the average secession 6gure-more
than twelve hundred of them were Daviss
men. No wonder they decline to give
their dupes an official return of their losses.

Organization of the Union

attended.

and GREENLEAF CLARK, Esqrs., elected
Secretaries.
Mr.. j. L. FISK, OF White Bear, offered

Resolved, That for the purpose of facilitat.
ing the work to be- accomplished by this
movement, committee of seven for lis coun-

Hon. JAMES SMITH, Jr., being called
upon, addressed the meeting in patriotic
and eloquent manner, and was followed by
MICHAEL E. AMEs, Esq, in one of his best
efforts. W. H. PEcKHAM, Esq, made a
spirited speech, but was so unfortunate as
not to make himself clearly understood in
his arguments and illustrations, and received
strong tokens of dissent, but in the end sue
ceeded in convincing the dissenters that on
the main question of suppressing tie rebel
lion, his own views were in accordance with
theirs. MIR. INGERsoLL also made few re-
marks, when on motion, the meeting adj

ments and impulses. 1t is no credit to saw,
that we did this at sacrifice of money.
because it is credit to no man to saw.
merely, that he is not scoundrel. But
there are politicians here who can bear us
witness that our ribs might have fatteped
with Government plumber, had we consent
ed simply to silence. Opposing thus, as we
did, the initiatory movements of the con-
spirators against the Government, we could
not do otherwise, in common honesty or
patriotism, than fight against them when
their schemes had reached the maturity of
treason.
The Press may amuse itself hereafter
to its own content, in the matter of our con-
sistency. We have other duties to perform,
when the great need of the country is the
patriotic union of all its citizens for its
support, than to be cbaffering with any lit
tie party organ about personal consistency.
The question above all others now, is, In
what way can the Government be most ef-
fectively sustained? And the answer to
that we are willing to leave to the honest
impulses and judgments of the people.

kentucky ElectiOn---OverwheI Ginning
Majority for an Unconditional
Union.

The returns of the State election in Ken
lucky, on Monday, for Treasurer and men,
bers OF the Legislature, are SO overwhelm-
ingly for the Union, that it is hardly worth
while to figure up the vote. Louisville
gave 5000 majority, and elected as Sena.
tors, A. B. Semple and James Speed and
as Representatives, John G. Beeman, Nat.
Wolfe, Joshua Tevis, and w. P. Boone.
The secession vote was very small. Jefer-
son county Except Louisville) gave LOO
Union majority, and elected John H. Har-
ney, editor of the Democrat, as members of
the Legislature, over Ex-Governor Merri-
wether. The majority in the State will be
over $4,000, which, according to present
returns, is perhaps allowing more for the
secession vote than it will prove to be.
Thus far, none but Unonists are returned
to the Legislature. The following items
are in the papers:
Newpost gives James H. Garrard. Union.
1O42 for State Treasurer; no opposition.
Elects Baker, Senator, and Webster and Camp
bell to the House.
Covington gives Garrard 1,796: Terry, (Se.
cession), only IL. Elects Col. John F. Fisk,
Senator, and Fnnell and Smith to the House.
Judge Ruckner, Union. was elected over J.
B. Clay in Fayette county, by from 500 to 600
majority.
Richard G. Anderson, nephew to Col. Ander-
son, of Fort Sumter, was elected in Frankfort
County by from 300 to 400 majority.
R. w. Jacobs, Union. was elected in Oldham
county.
Every place along the line of railroad
from Lexington to Covington, except Gym
thiada, gave large Union majorities.
The election in Louisville passed off quiz
city but late in the afternoon pistol rem
contre occurred at the Gait House, be-
tween Edward Criethfuld and Thomas Sell
vidge, wherein both were severely injured,
the latter probably fatally.
