!. AFFAIRS IN KksTucKY.-The Chattanooga
Rebei states that information generally cred.
tied BY the Kentuckians there has been re-
eeived that the Kentucky Legislature has ad.
journsd under fears of intimidation from the
Federal troops. The Rebel, adds:
DR.. w. A. Thompson, an intelligent surgeon,
attached to Cheatham's division. who re.
manned behind amer the battle Of Perryvil,e,
assisting. In taking care of our wounded,
reached here day or two since, having left
Harrodsburg the previous week. He reports
tho people completely subjugated, and the only
feeling in favor Of tho South that is Manifested
Ia by the ladies, who remain true to our cause
and have exhibited their devotion to It in q
thousand ways.
There are over thirty thonsand Federal
troops in Central and Northern Kentucky dis
tributed as follows: At Danville, 5000; Lex.
ington, 5000; Frankfort, 1900; and between
Louisville and Frankfort, 6,0GO. These hold
the people In complete awe, and there ia q
perfect reign Of terrorism prevailing. Unfor-
tunate as has been the condition of Kentucky
since the beginning of the struggle, it Is now
more deplorabie than ever before
s In May, 1861, the late Ex President Tyler,
in letter to a prominent citizen of Kentucky,
wrote the following prophecy in relation to
the fate of that State:
Mr.. Lincoln, should he find occasion, will
laugh to scorn her nexss0sty, as he has done
that of the patient and submissive Governor,
not people, of Maryland The wealthy pro.
prietors of Louisville, who may regard the Sc
curity Of their town property as Of q vast daas
more Importance than the honor and dignity Of
Kentucky, will soon rejoice in the occupancy
of this city by Mr.. LiuColn,s trcoos. and
Frankfort be used after the same manner as
Annapolis. the proud old capital Of Maryland,
Many Kentuckians and many Maryie nde-s
have broken the bands, the willow wyths, in
which their free limbs were found, and are
standing on the ramparts Of freedom for its
profession. Those noble spirits have desirsd
toencounter ali the hazards and risks of the
fery contests which are. approaching. 70
these ell praise and honor Is due; their names
will be enrolled in the capitol, and live i'm
mortal in story. Virginia will eonseorate them,
by wearing them in her inmost heart, let their
States do what they may.

American Snhnnl Girl

Anthony Trollope is more important
visitor than we have had from England for
a long time, and though even he does not
admire everything about us, he pays us
many little compliments. He speaks as
follows about our school girls.
4 do not know any contrast that would
be more surprising to an Engishman, at
that moment ignorant of the matter, than
that which he would find by visiting, first
of all, free school in London, and then a
free school in New York. The female pu-
pill of a free school in London is, as a rule,
either ragged pauper or charity girl if
not degraded, at least stigmatized by the
badges and dress of charity. We English
men know well the type of each, and have
a family correct idea of the amount of ed
ucation which is impaired to them. We
see the result afterwards, when the same
girls become our servants, and the wives of
our grooms and porters. The female at a
free school in New York is neither a pau
per or a charity girl She is dressed with
the utmost decency. She is perfectly
cleanly. In speaking to her you cannot
in any degree, guess whether her father has
a dollar a day, or three thousand dollars a
year. Nor will you be enabled to guess by
the manner in which her associates treat
her. As regards her own manner to you,
it is always the same as though her father
were in all respects your equal

The Origin Of salutations.

The most modern forms of saluting and
civility are derived from chivalry, or at
least from war, and they all betoken some
difference, as from conquered person to
the conqueror; just as in private life we
still continue to sign ourselves :he very
humble servants of our correspondence
The uncovered head was simply the head
uarmed the helmet being removed, the
party was at mercy. So the hand ungloved
was the hand ungauntleted, and to this day
it is an incivility to shake hands with gloves
on. Shaking hands itself was but token
of truce, in which the parties hold each Of
the others weapon hand. to make sure
against treachery. So also a gentleman S
bow is but an offer of the neck to the
stroke of the adversary; so the ladys cour-
tesy is but the form of going on her knees
for mercy The general principle is marked
as it ought naturally to be, still more
strongly in the case of military salutes.-
Why is discharge of guns salute; Be-
cause it leaves the guns empty and at the
mercy Of the opponent And this is so
true that the saluting with the blank cart
ridge is a modern invention Formerly, sa-
lutes were fired by discharging cannon
ball, and there have been instances in which
the compliment has been nearly fatal to the
visitor whom it meant to honor When
the officer salutes, he points the drawn
sword to the ground; and the salute of the
troops is, even at this day, called present
ing erms'-that is, presenting them to be
taken.

SECEsH PIETY.-Dr. M. I. Carey, Sur
geon of the Forty-eigth Ohio taken priso-
ner at Shiloh, now Post Surgeon at Camp
Chase, gives the following anecdote in a
marriage of his experience as a prisoner ::
As a minister of the Gospel was con-
Quoting the services but few Sabbaths
since, in a military camp near the city,
(Tusci loosa) he took occasion to read to
the troops, (for their consolation in these
times of want and starvation,) the ninth
chapter of st. Luke, in which is narrated
the miracle of Christ feeding the multitude,
and when he came to the sixteenth verse,
which reads as follows: when he took
the five loaves and two fishes, and looked
up to Heaven, he blessed them and brake
and gave to the disciples to sup before the
multitude, which was about five thousand. }
And they did eat and they were all filled /;
and there was taken up of fragments that
remained twelve baskets After he had
thus concluded, a stalwart and rustic butter
nut clad individual screeched out at the
top Of his voice saying, Bully for Christ, 1
wish we had him for our Commissary in
stead of old John Sheldon, the id
stingy old brute

"MY Son." said Spriggles senior, to
Spriggles junior, thinking to enlighten the
boy on the propagation of the hen spe-

come out of eggs?" "Do they?" said
Spriggles junior, 81 thought eggs come out
of chickens" Thus endeth the first lesson.

HAD CALL.-Philadlp phia was for some
years enlightened by the presence of a min
lister who meant exceedingly well, and did
pretty well. A congregation in western
city hearing of his fame, and having no
shepherd, invited this our Mr. X to
assume the vacant crook, deputing to carry
their offer a much respected deacon, COM
monty called Epaphras, "Uncle Efmus. =
Uncle Efmus came, told his errand, and
caused a church meeting to be held, that
he might lay the call of his own distant
church before it. The pathetic appeal with
which he opened his business was this
"My brethren, have come from long
distance to lay before you the condition of
our church in the wilderness. We read in
Holy Writ that upon a certain occasion
our Lord directed two of His disciples to
go into certain village, saying unto them,
'Straightway ye shall find an ass tied ;
loose him and bring him unto me- My
brethren among you we have found the ass
tied Permit me to loose him and lead
him away; and if you ask as of old, why
l do it, in like manner l answer: The
Lord hath need for him.
They let Uncle Efmus unite the ass and
lead him away.

We had been six days before Vicksburg,
slowly advancing, until Within 100 yards Of
their breastworks, when on the evening Of the
oath of May David H. Thomas was wounded
by one Of the enemy's sharpshooters. While
in the act of STOPPING the ball entered his right
shoulder ane fractured the spine. He linger-
ed till about p. NJ on the 25th, when the
warm hearted, generous soldier ceased at once
to work and live. Thomas was man known
only to be loved and esteemed. Gentle as
maiden, he was brave as Iona friend trm
and true; ueyey complaining, bnt oheerluily
meeting every new privation. He was true
patriOt-an exemplary soldier. While lying
