The following is brief synopsis Of the mes.
sage Of Gov. Magofin, of Kentucky: He con-
demns the invasion of the State BY John Nor
gan; says Southern rights men disapprove it;
reviews the present position of the Federal gov
eminent, and regrets the arrest Of citizens with
out legal process; recommends the adoption of
the Crittenden resolutions as a standing PROPOSE.
ton of peace and settlement, and at the close
says: ~ hazard nothing in saying have been
more untiring in nv honest efforts, and have
made more propositions to prevent dissolution
Of the Union, and which promised to be success
full if they had been adopted in time than all of
my busy, brawlins calumniators who had their
vile purposes to serve"
By an amicable arrangement John F. Fisk has
resigned the Speakership of the Senate, and j.
F. Robinson, Of Scott county, was elected Speak
er of the Senate. Beriah Magoffin has resign
ed the Governorship, and thus Robinson be-
comes Governor de faeto for Magofin's unexpir-
ed term.
Matt johnson, of Lexington, has been elected
Secretary Of State. John B. Temple has re.
signed the Presidency Of the Military Board,
the duties thereof devolving on Robinson, as act
ing Governor.
Robinson and johnson are able and staunch
Union men.
The threatened invasion Of Kentucky has ere.
ated great excitement in Indiana. Troops are
being rushed forward with all possible speed
Gov. Norton has induced Major General Lew.
Wallace and Gen. Demerest, who are at Indian.
aPolis. to take temporary command of the new
regiments Gen. +. A. Morris, Gen. j. J. Rev.
nolds and Gen. Love, also take command of new
regiments. All the energy of the Executive
Department is being put forth to save Kentucky
from invasion.

The news from Europe is rather of Q cheer
ing character, and must have tendency TO
steady the nerves of many Who have become
greatly excited through fears Of mediation, arm
ed intervention, &c.
The English Parliament Vas prorogued on the
9Th instant. The Queens speech favors ne utral
ity in regard to American affairs. The Daily
Ners anticipates q cotton famine, and says if
the dearth lasts till Christmas, Parliamentary
provisions for the relief of the distress will not
suffice to meet the e1igencies. In the House
Earl Russell declared il inexpedient to produce
the correspondence relative to the acknowledge
ment of the Confederate States. and stated that
the agent OF the Confederate States was not rec
ognized He also stated that no communication
had been received in regard to intervention in
American affairs from any other power. He
said, however, if mediation was to be offered
he wanted to see all the powers act copjointly.
The London Times shows itself very anxious
that all appearance Of any design Of iuterven
ton be avoided. The Times evidently expects
to hear by one Of the next mails, that the Fed
eral Government has found it impossible to raise
SOC, 900 volunteers, and has therefore given up
the contest as useless. When it shall learn
that the whole force called for is TO be raised
without difficulty, and the war is about to be
renewed with fresh vigor, We must, of course
expect to see its tone again change.
Affairs in Italy are becoming more and more
complicated. Garbaldi has called the young
men to arms, and Victor Emanuel has issued
counter proclamation, denouncing Garibsdf:
schemes as revolutionary, and threatening pun
ishment to all who shall obey the call
The Russian government denies the rumor'
of having joined France in any offers of media
ton in American affairs.
1t is reported that the French Council o
State are trying to devise means to rende
France independent of America tor Cotton.

COL CHAMPLIN.-Ths gallant officer, Of the
Third Michigan Re giment, has go far recovered
from his wound received at Fair Oaks that he
has reported himself for duty. The regiment
has covered itself with glory in every engage
ment in which il has been, and Coz. Champlin
has cause to feel proud of the noble body OF
men over which he has command. We trust
he may live long TO wear the laurels he has won
and 80 richly deserves.

women and children. We captured q large
number of prisoners, including Captain Blunt,

but dared not join the conflict. She vas aground.
The Essex and other gunboats went to her, set

The Official report of Col Cah commanding

el force to be about ten regiments. After a
fight Of four hours of great severity, the enemy

a sECEssiON INDEX.

The Rebel sympathlzers in London not long
oqo started a newspaper. Although fully alive
TO the fact that two-tbrds Of the Journals OF
Great Britain were virtually enlisted in their
behalf they were dissatisfied with the appear
nnce of impartiality which deconey compelled
these organs to display, and nothing would
serve but direct medium of their own, for
Southern laudatlon aud Northern malediclion.
Accordingly, they established The IadeI, a
weekly paper which, with unconscious humor,
states that its yearly price will be thlrty shll-
lngs-the chances being all in favor OF its
ceasing 20 exist within couple of months.
We have read the third number OF tins
publication with some attention. The means
10y which it essays TO take the British Bun by
tho horns, or, We might more properly say, 10
lead him BY the nose, are not altogether novel,
although IN some respects ingenious. Prodigious
lying, supported by quotations from The ". y.
HoJoH, is the process most relied upon. In
one Of its editorial articles, it VIGOROUSLY
announces that NJ. Merciers visit to
