LOUISVILLE, Feb. 24.-Evening-The
exciting statements which have been
made here during the past two days
arose from the fact that about 800 rebel
cavalry, under Leroy Clark, entered.
Richmond, KY, on Sunday, and stayed
about two hours. They then passed
through Winchester, where q skirmish,
with slight loss, occurred; after which
the rebel cavalry cleared out in the di.
rection of Mount Sterling. Everything
is quiet in the vicinity of Frankfort and
Lexington. No apprehensions are en-
tertained. -

General Butler arrived here this morn
ing at ten O'Clock, and was escorted to |
the Eutaw House by q committee OF the
CITY Councils and Union Leaguers.
The appearance Of the General was
greeted with long continued cheering.
In response he made q brief speech,
thanking the citizens of Baltimore for
their expressions of regard and their en-
thusiastic greetings, which he took as
an earnest of their unalterable devotion
to the Union, and determination, come
what may, to stand by the government
He alluded to his first entrance into
Baltimore on the night Of May IA, 1852,
when, amidst violent storm, he march

the condition of Baltimore then, from
4 the influences of secession, with what 1t
is now. since with the aid and pTotec.
tion of the government the true'hearted
Union men Of Baltimore had put down
rebel sway. He warmly eulogized the
loyalty Of Baltimore. Abiding to the
progress of the war, he said there was
much-very much-to encourage in the
progress we had made in the past year.
Let US post the books and see how we
stand. A year ago, when he passed
through this city on bis way to the South

rebels had all of Missouri, Kentucky

Since writing yesterday very pain

regiment and the Louisiana lst, colored.
This latter regiment, with two compa;
MES of the former, were stationed od
Ship Island. For some time past there
has been much dissatisfaction and trou
ble between these regiments, arising from
the dislike of the Down casters to obey
colored officevs or associate with the;E
men. Yesterday news came here that
the negroes had fred on and killed six
of the Maine men, and that much more
trouble was anticipated. Com. Farra'

any particulars. The mail for the NortJ

Mr. VALIAND1aHAM's peace speech
has now been before the country several
weeks. The rebels have all seen and
read It throughout the South, and yet
not one leading man among them has
come forward to meet half way, and re.
construct the Union. They all, so far,
scout at q restoration of the Union, and
in answer to the proposition to appoint
commissioners, one Of their papers re-
minds the North that Gen Lee, Gen.
Longstreet and Stonewall jackson, are
all the commissioners they want.
The peace speech of Mr.. CONWAY,
Republican Congressman from Kansas,
has also been before the country several
weeks. His proposition to stop the war
at once on the ground that the division
Of the Union is already fixed fact,
meets with great favor among the rebel
papers. They claim that he is the only
Republican who has had the courage to
speak out, and give them credit for their
victories, and they ask us tauntingly
what there is longer to fight for, nov
Mr.. Conway comedies that they have
established their own Southern govern
ment In spite of the North. 49,.
Now here is the nut which the peopl
must crack. Vallandigham and Con
way are about in equal standing in thei
respective parties. Vallandigham woul'
stop the war and restore the Union b
peace. Conway would stop the war an
make peace by letting the Union slide
as Gen. Banks once said.
vallandigham's proposition is oppos
ed by all the Republicans Of the Mort
Except Greeley and by all the rebe
Of the South. Conway's proposition
opposed by the whole Democracy OF th
North, but is upheld and endorsed b
all the rebels in the South, and by So
ficieEt number Of Abolitionists in tt
North to give it majority, in case tt
vebels should be allowed to vote wit
the Abolitionists against the Democr
cy on these peace propositions.
In case Louis Napoleon succeeds
his project Of mediation 80 as to ha'
the people vote on this question of pea
or war, 1t will require the utmost uni
Of action between the Democrats al
Union Republicans to outvote the reo'
and Abolitionists, or anti,Union Repu

A Word to Mother.

The chilly Fall mornings are coming
on, or rather are on US now, and in many
families there are no hands but mothers
to tend the baby, dress the little ones, and
get breakfast. There is perhaps no hour
in the twenty-four 90 trying as this; and
no wonder that baby is neglected, and
tosses around in his little night-gown till
he gets cold feet and wind collie, and cries
as if "pins and needles were sticking in
him."
The only thing to be done then, is to
have out baby's winter stockings at once
put them on the first thing when you get
up in the morning, also flannel petticoat,
and long sleeved sacque; then he can
toss around at will until breakfast is over
and the mother can get time to wash and
dress him.
This is now emphatically the season for

ALONE.
by ORPHEUS C. KERR. ="

Three stalwart sons old Sweyn, the Saxon, had,
Brave, hardy lads. for battle or the chase;
And though, like peasant, barbarously clad,
Each wore the Nameless Noble in his face;
One DER another rose their heads, in tiers,
Steps from their fathers honorable years.
One night, In autumn, sat they round the fire,
In the rude cabin bountltul of home,
Mild by the reverence due from child 10 sire,
Bold in the manhood unto mastry come
Working their tasks o er huntsman's fOreSt-gear,
Loos'ning the bow and sharpening the spear.
Lost in his thought, old Sweyn, the Saxon,
stood,
Leaning in silence gainst the chimuey-stone;
Staring, unconscious, ut the blazing wood,
STEPPED in the mood of mind he oft had
As an old tree, whose st0utest branches shake
Scarce from their vigor sign of life will take.
Athol, the bearded, with his bow had done;
Alfred, the nimble, laid his spear aside;
Edric, the farest, firing OF his fun,
Left the old hound to slnmber on his hide;
Yet was their sire like one whose features seem
Shaded by sleep, and all their light dream.
Bold in the favor of the eldest-born,
Athol for both his younger brothers spoke:
Father the fox is prowling in the corn,
And hear the night-owl hooting from the
oak;
Let us to couch" But Sweyn had raised his
head
And thus, unwilling what had passed. he said:
See, from my breast I draw this chain of
gold"
Fair in the freight royal 1t shone;
This for his honor that shall best unfold
Who. of all creatures is the most alone;
Take him from palace, mcnastry, or cot,
Loving, unloved, forgetting or forgot"
Then Athol spoke. with thoughtful tone aud
look -
HE is the loneliest, most alone of all,
Who, in a skitf to the mid seas fOrsOOk,
Finds not an echo even, TO his call;
If echo lined, not alone were he;
But there's no echo Oh the solemn seal"
And Alfred next -" But lonelier, brother far
The wretch that fees just avenging rod;
To him all scenes are wastes,-a foe the star;
All earth he's lost, yet knows no heaven, no
Most lonely he who, making man his foe
Unto mans Maker dareth not to gO!'
Thus spoke the lads with wit beyond their
years,
and yet the old man held his beard and
sighed,
As one who gains the form his wishing wears,
But wishes still q something most denied;
Upon his youngest eager looks he turned,
And Edric's with grace Ingenious burned.
al think, my father, and his tones were
low
"That lOnelier yet, and most alone, is he
Scarce taught, tho crowds are leading, where
to 90.
And, one face missing, can no other see:
Though all the Norman court around him
moves,
He is alone, apart from her he loves"
A hush fell on them. Then, with loving air.
And all the touching romance of the old,
The hoary father kissed young E rics hair,
And DER his shoulders threw the chain of
gold;
Then cell upon his darlng's neck and cried,
al have been lonely since thy mother died"

THE MAlDEN,S PRAYER.
j. @. WHITTIER.

She rose from her delicious sleep.
Aud put away her soft brown hair,
And in tone as low and deep
As loves first whisper. breathed prayer,
Her snOw-white hands together pressed,
Her blue eye sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast
just swelling with the charms it hid.
And from her long and flowing dress
Escaped a bare and snowy foot,
Whose step upon the earth did press
Like sweet snowflake. soft and mute;
And then from slumbers soft and warm,
Like young spirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that young and machless form,
And humbly prayed to be forgiven.
Oh God! if souls as pure as these
Need daily mercy from thy throne
If she upon her bended knees,
Our hOllest and purest one;
She with face SO clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light;
If she, with these soft eyes and tears,
Day after day, in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
How hardly if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven.
