Will you light the servile torch which IS
IN involve our own homes in the general
confederation, and draw upon ourselves the
contempt and derision Of the abolition des-
pots who view us only as the tame instru-
ments to carry out their will? Will you
consent that the proud women of Kentucky
shall become the m entails of the North. or
will YOU shake off the letters with which
Won are bound and show that you are worthy
to be freemen? =
Men of kentucky! Two Southern armre
under the able leadership of the gallant
Bragg and Kirby Smith. are now In your
midst. They come to relieve you from 10
tyranny with which the North has SO long
oppressed you. No peaceable citizen wna'-
ever his political views will be molested.-
We make war only against armed men,
not as our enemies do, against peaceaoie
citizens and defenceless women and ch''u-
rem. We ask those who. from sentiments
of duty ale with us, to join the standard OF
freedom. If you are worthy Of liberty you
will win it. We have arms for all VINO
will ioin us. Unite your efforts with those
of the South, and under the protection OF
Providence our beloved State will not long
be desecrated by the footsteps OF the aooil-
ton oppressors. Let US not be the slaves
and the instru ments of the North to Cypress
our own people; but actuated by the spirit
of freedom which won our independence, let
us prove that the sons Of our State are
worthy of their parentage. and entitled TO
claim the right of protecting the daughters
of Kentucky from the insults with which
they have so long been visited Whether
from the gloomy prisons which despotlc au .
thority has reared to crush the Spirit OF
Liberty, or from the ranks Of this army OF
Southern freemen, let every Kentuckian
utter shout of defianc against the North
ern tyranny, and claim that under the
guidance of Heaven, Kentucky shall prove
worthy of her ancient fame, and shall win
for her sons and her fair daughters the rich
he rtage of freedom which they so fully
deserve. S b. BUCKNER,

From the St. Louis Republican.
No Union with Slaveholding States.

The ultra Abolitionists, wheD our troubles
broke out, were for dividing the Union:-
They wanted to get rid Of the slaveholdins
South. As the war progressed. and the
chAces increased Of settling all the negroes
free, without thought Of the consequences.
these same ultras turned square round and
went in strong for the Union. Their y Mon
ism means pure simple. reckless Abolition
ism. Ifthey can have this last. then they
will consent o the maintenance OF the Union
If not, then they are against the m aintenancs
Of the Union.
The bitterly intolerant spirit aad passions,
of which this ultra oo}itionism springs. are
bat the continuance Of that fierce intolerance
wh:e would not allow those who were tor
men,ed bv it to live 10 England. When
they left Englan and sat dowi in Holland E,
it W ould not suffer them to live there. 1t
drove them over the ocean into wilds where
they were free to indulge it, until the
Quakers appeared to disturb them in its
ora'ification. But whea the Quaktrs APP
peared, the So intolerants were not obliged
to move again. They were then strong
enough to put down all who differed in opin
ion from them; and so. after first whipping
the Quakers. they banished them. The
Jownaiof Commerce describes this class, when
it saws:
1.-The men who cannot Tvs IN Union
with slaveholding States are men who, aitel
that question is disposed of, will find that
they cannot live in Union with the Roman
Catholics. They will pronounce the Con
stitution covenant with death and an agree
ment with hell because under it a clergyman
OF the Church Of Rome is permitted Il
celebrate the mass and teach the doctrine o.
the real presence. or because it protects I
Jewish Rabbi in denying the Messiahship O
Christ. Ii their principle of Union is allow
ed to trevail. we shall plunge hereafter into
religious wars, and whenever. as is very like
ly to occur, New England or any other por-
ton Of the country becomes affected with q
religions mania, as It has been with an anti
slavery mania, we shall have an attemp
to introduce religion into politics, to elect
officers on religious platforms. to evade she
Constitution for the sake Of enacting aws to
interfe re with freedom of worship, ard il
this class of men obtained power, we should
have Jews. Catholics. Episcopaians, Pres
by terians or Quakers. or possibly all ofthese
religionists. burned at the stake, or charged
with treason, for sustaining a view of religion
which these fanatics believed 10 be of neces-
sity rebel lious, or tending to rebellion"

Tho Murder of General Samuel Worth
ingtou.

We deeply regret to announce the muir
der of GEN. SAMUEL WoRTH1NaToN, near
Germantown on last Friday, by two Of his
negro men. The particulars of the affair
are as follows: Two negroes, aged respec-
lively sixteen and eighteen, belong to Gen.
Wortbington, had taken a couple of his
horses and rode them all night. When
they returned home next morning. Mr.. w.
was much iucensed at their conduct. he
having frequently forbade their riding the
horses without his permission.
He told them that he would be COM
PEELED to chastise them for violating his or
ders, and started to the barn for that pur-
pose. 1t appears that after reaching the
barn, the negroes turned upon their master
and beat him to death with clubs. His
body was buried in a corn field, but was
discovered by a cousin of deceased.
The negroes were arrested, by Sheriff
Bald win, and confined in Jail in this city.
P. s. Since the above was in type, we
learn one of the negroes has been tried and
convicted of the murder. The other will be
tried next NJ onday week.

Public Meeting.

Immediately after the capture of the two ne
groes who were engaged in the murder and the
concealment Of the body Of their master, Gen
Samuel Worthington, of this county, and under
the great excitement produced 10y that event,
the following gentlemen were selected by the
friends of the deceased, to determine what dis
position should be made Of said two negroes
Jerry and Webster or either of them.
The Sc id Committee organized by the ap-
pointment of Col. A. Bledsoe Chairman and
Rober. L. Lewis and Benz. w. Wood Secretaries.
1t having been ascertained that the deputy sher-
if Of the county, Robert Baldwin, was u pom the
ground with warrant for the negroes, on motto,
1t was resolved that he should be invited befoe
the Committee. He appeared and urged upon
the Committee the propriety and duty of having
the negroes commit ted to Jail and of their being
tried regularly by the authorities established by
law. Various propositions were presented by
different members of the Committee, and finally
after consideration it was agreed by the Com
mittee under motion of DR.. Robertson that the
negroes should be delivered to the sheriff to be
committed to Jail for trial according to law,
which was accordingly done.
1t was then voted that sub committee of
three be appointed to select suitable place to
be recommended to the Mason Circuit Court for
the execution of said negroes or either of them,
John Brough and Benz. W. Wood were appon-
ted said Committee, who after retiring, reported
that they had designed for that purpose the wood
land Of Gen. Worthington, north of the Ger
place at which the murder was committed, which
report was adopted and it was ordered that a
recommendation be made according thereto, to
the Mason Circuit Court.
On motion it was UNANIMOUSLY resolved that
the Maysville Eagle and Bulletin be requested to
publish the proceedings of this Committee, and
then on motion, the Committee adjourned.

FROM LExINGToN.-Persons direct from
Lexington. KY, state that General Kirby
Smith has ordered all the stoves and other
articles made Of iron in that city to be
seized and carried to the founderies. where
they will be melted and cast into shot and
shell. He has also appropriated all the
jeans in the factories in Cen trail Kentucky,
and had it made up for his men. 1t is
thought Smiths army will evacuate Lex
inston upon the approach of the National
troops, and fall back to the south bank of
the Kentucky River, where they will IN
doubtly make a most determined stand. A
large force of negroes and soldiers has been
engaged for the last four weeks past fortify-
ing at the bridge over the Kentucky River,
on the Lexington and Danville Road.

"Reverend Colonels."

It is reported that priest in Chicago, the
Rev. Mr.. Dunno, has accepted the Colone'cy
of a regiment recruiting there. The fact
seems hardly possible, as. of course. becom-
ing a man of war would subject him to &C.
clesiastical cepsure and disabilities. But, it
seems that the gallant Col. Mu'ligan. of
Lexington fame takes the story as true, and
as Rev. Mr.. Dune was once preceptor Of
the Colonel. the latter writes him letter of
which it is a puzzle to understand the
dninus. Whether intended as satire or
not, it Can not but startle military priest to
