The secessionists of Lexington, Ky, and
vicinity, lately availod themselves of the de-
ceased Of arebe soldier belonging there as a
protext for a great demonstration olsympathy
with the rebellion. Traitors were hidden to
the funeral en- masse, and thousand OF them
gathered on the day appointed to join in the
grand procession, in which a Confederate flag
been sent to an Indiana regiment quartered
near the city, and about the time that the clan
was gathering to execute their reasonable
designs, the tap Of drum and the whistle of
fife we're heard at the outskirts of the city.
The hearts Of the rebels quaked, as it was the
first intimation they had that their trick was
discovered. The soldiers marched into town.
The officers allowed twenty carriages to be
filled with the relatives and friends of the
deceased, but the crowd of eight or nine humid
red rebels that had assembled for the purpose
of raising and marching under the Conteder-
ate flag, were commanded to retire TO their
respective homes, which they did, as a mat
ter Of course. The stars and stripes we're
raised by the soldiers and the dead rebel was
conducted to bis grave under the flag that he
has disgraced instead OF the new flag in the
defense Of which be had lost his life.
