"UNBEND1Ne MoRAE PRrEcIPLE."-
Some men possess it; they are men o.
independence, are real heroes. Here
is the picture:

bending moral principle is mightier
than sll the host of dishonest and
fraudulent knaVesj and in his majestic
presence they feel their littleness and
weakness, and shame, are ready tC
slink away lest they blush beneath the
gaze Of his calm clear eye. 1t is q
noble sight. worth going far to look al,
the man who stands erect and serene,
with his head on the red dragon ol
temptation, its seven heads and ten
horns crushed and trodden down to the

sight so grand and lovely as this. He
is uobler than any coronet can make

SPEECH THE KENTUCKY LEGIsLA,
TURE


Mr.. Brown, of johnson county, made
a speech in the Kentucky House oI
Representatives few days ago, OF which
the following is passage:
He said be had listened silently and
patiently to the many malignant speech
es made in denunciation Of Mr.. Lincoln
and his policy. He had read almost
innumerable resolutions directed to the
same end. He was no Abolitiorist, bat
was a loyal man. He believed negroes,
considered as property, were entitled
to the same consideration as other prop.
erty, and no more. But what aston
ished him was to see the mindsd cer-
tain members entirely absorbed n this
property question. He was poor
man, but said nothing about that now.
Before this war broke out, he had a
son dearer to him than jewels, or gold,
or silver. The rebels had murdered
that boy because he was loyal to bis
Government, and for no other fanlt-
He had been torn from family cirde,
where he was an idol, and murdered.
Fifteen other young men, free white
citizens of Kentucky. had been hung
under one tree in this country. Women
wives and daughters had fallen dead
in their own houses, with rebel bulles
in their hearts, in their attempts %
shield their husbands and fathers from
rebel attacks. These facts were Of nire
months standing. and Of daily occur-
renee. Yet, said the speaker. l have
not heard one voice raised in protest
against these barbarisms, in this Leg
islature. Among all the resolutions in-
troduced thus far, none condemn the
murder Of my poor lost boy. Oh Gedi
is this the chalice of loyalty you would
press to my lips? Are abstract qaes-
tions of contingent rights to contingent
niggers to override all parental and So
cial ties? Must the places around our
fresides be rendered vacant, one after
another, until all are empty, and no OBJ
lection raised 20 it because Mr.. Lincoln's
negro policy does not suit this Legisla-
ture?

A WoRD TO DEsEKrERs.-It Is
likely that deserters, who have so long
been astray and treated SO leniently,
have come to imagine that nothing
more severe than very earnest coaxing
is to happen them, ard that the Presi-
dents proclamation giving them until
the 1st of April to report themselves
and fall into their places in the army,
is meaningless as some general orders
on the subject. But they are mista-
ken. The time approaches when de-
serters will be dealt with harshly.-
The people are greatly interested, that
they may tighten the coming conscrip.
tion, in returning all deserters, and
they will be hunted up and down with
a relentless rigor for which they are
not prepared, and they will be pun
ished in a way that will be as novel as
effective. Heretofore it has been i'm
possible to shoot deserter without sub
mitting his case TO the President, and
the President has been tender-hearted
and the sneaks have not been shot
The commanders of departments are
now authorized to shoot deserters, and
the shooting will commence next
month in earnest. There is no doubt
about it. The generals commanding
will make examples Of
those who may be convicted. Now, il
the deserters do not wish to be hunted
and shot, they should make the best
time possible in reaching the rendez-
vous appointed for them. 1t is all
nonsense to suppose the little squads Of
butternuts about the country who are
talking of affording protection to the
deserter can do any thing Of the sort
They will be killed of like mad dogs If
they interfere.--Cin. Com.

KEETUcKY's PERIL.-We have on
several recent occasions referred to the
various indications of rebel movement
upon our State from the southeast, as
soon as the condition of the roads will
permit travel We have nt spoken
upon mere surmise, nor have we at
tempted to magnify the imninence Of
the danger. Our inform alton was de.
rived from those who had been eye
witnesses to the preparations, to the
massing Of troops at Knoxville, and
the gathering OF large numbels ofhorses
in the vicinity Of Rogersville in Hawk
ins county, and all other points where
forage can be collected. We publish
therefore the following lette- from Mr..
Brownlow as an additional confrma-
tion Of the preparations Of the rebels,
for he has opportunities Of gaining in
formation superior, probably, to those
of any other gentleman, and we earn
estly hope that his representations may
stimulate our authorities to prompt and
energetic measures for defence:

movements of the rebels, still l be-
lieve, most sincerely, what ] fud many
disposed to doubt, and ever laugh TO
scoru. / believe that reb.l raid up
on large scale is now being fitted out
in East Tennessee, for the invasion Of
Kentucky. 1 have looked into this
matter with great deal Of interest and
anxiety; have conversed with divers
men, known to me to be reliable, who
have recently made their way out Of
that county, and they have satisfied
me that large forces are organizing at
Knoxville, and at Rogersville, in Upper
East Tennessee, and they will make an
assault from two or more gaps through
the mountains, with infantry and cav
airy and il not met upon correspond
ing scale they will damage Kentucky. il
they do not destroy Louisville and Gin
cinnati. The attempt would have been
made before now, but for the high wa
ter and the bad condition Of the roads.
They are coming, however, and will
be in the State this spring. and those
who are slow to believe it have only to
wait few weeks, and they will see
that am not mistaken in my predic-
tions. They aim. of course, to destroy
railroads, cities, and towns. but. above
all, they aim to exchange thousands Of
starved and worn-out horses for the
best stock in Kentucky. They aim to
plunder all the stores. eat-houses, and
granaries 10 the country.
Our military authorities can't be too
vigilant, nor can they prepare to meet
this intended invasion of your State up
on too large a scale Of operations. !

citizens at the time Of planting and pre-
pairing for their crops. And hope, al

The AGE OF MAr.-.Few men die Of

The AGE OF MAE.--Few men die oil
age. Almost all persons die of disap.
pointment, passionsl, mental or bodily
toll, or accident. The passions Kill
men sometimes even suddenly. The
common expression, "choked with pas.
sion," ha little exaggeration in it, for
even though not suddenly fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong-bodied
men often die young-weak men live
longer than the strong, for the strong
use their strength, and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care oI
themselves; the former do not. As il
is with the body, SO it is with mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break. or, like the candle, run; the
weak burn out. The inferior animals
which live temperate lives have gen.
orally their prescribed term Of years
The horse lives twenty-five years. the
OK fifteen or twenty; the lion about
twenty; the hog, ten or twelve; the
rabbit. eight; Guinea pig, six or seven.
The numbers all bear proportion to the
time the animal takes to grow to its
full size. But man, of all animals,
is the one that seldom comes up to the
average. He ought to live hundred
years, according to this physiological
law, for FIVE times twenty are one hun
cred, but instead of that he scarcely
reaches an average of four times the
growing period. The reason is OBJ
Vious-man is not only the most ir.
regular and the most Incorporate, but
the most laborious and hard worked OF
all animals. He is always the most ir-
ritable Of all animals, and there is rea-
son to believe. though We cannot tell
what an animal secretly feels, that
more than any other animal, man
cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and
consumes himself with the fire Of his
own reflection. G

forced passage over the river in the
face of q determined resistance by q
considerable body Of rebel sharpshoot-
ets, who were covered by houses aud
rifle pits, and dry mill race, with an
abittis 10 front. The ford admitted but

stream, which was swollen, was yery
rapid. Arriving at the south side Of
the river our cavalry charged the rebels

securing a large number Of horses
picketed near by.
A short distance from the shore,
Gen. Averill's command encountered
the rebel cavalry under Stuart and Fitz-
hugh Lee, who had hasteued from Gull
pepper to prevent our passage. They
made some dashipg charges on our
troops, who repulsed and in turn
charged them with fatal effect, using
sabres only in the conflict.

and routed from their positions with
great loss. The battle lasted FIVE hours,
and was q series OF charges and hand-

about two hundred on each side. The
enemy at last took refuge behind an
battery, four miles from the
ford, fanked bv rife pits and abattis.
General Averill; having accomplished
his object and secured bis prisoners,
the wounded on both sides, and a large
number Of horses, re-crossed the river
without attack or demonstration on the
part Of the rebels, who were so badly
that they could not follow or
annoy him. Among the prisoners is
Maj. Brecklnridge. cousin Of the
traitor, J. @. Breckenridge. The prison.

The TRAeEDtAN BoorH AND THE
LoRD's PRAYER.-We have been told
of an anecdote of Booth, the great
tragedian, which we do not remember
to have seen in print. 1t occurred id
the palmy days Of his fame, before the
sparkle Of his great mind had been
dimmed by that great bane Of genius;
Strong drink, .I.
Booth and several friends had been
invited to dine with an old gentleman
In Baltimore, of distinguished kindness,
urbanity and pietv; The host, though
disapprosing Of theatres and theatre
going, had heard so much OF Booths
remarkable powers, that curiosity to see
the man had. in this instance. overcome
all his scruples and ptejudices. After
the entertainment was over, lamps
lighted, and company teseated in the
drawing room, soude one requested
Booth as particular favor. and one
which all present would doubtless ap-
preciate, to read aloud the Lords
Prayer. Booth expressed his willing
ness TO afford them this qualification;
and all eyes were turned expectantly
upon him. .....
Booth rose slowly and retefeptly
from his chair. II was wonderful to
watch the play Of emotion that con-
vdlsed his couhtenanee. He became
deatbly pale, and bis eyes, turned
tremblingiy upwards, were wet with
tears. As yet he had not spoken
The silence could be felt. 1t became
absolutely painful, Until at last the
spell was broken as If BY an electric
shock, as his rich toned voice from
white lips syllabled forth, "Our father
who art in heaven" &C.. with pathos
and soIemnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The sile1ee continued.
Not a voice was heard or 8 muscle
moved in his wrapt audience, until
from a renote corner Of the room .
subdued sob was heard, and the old
gentleman, their host, stepped forward
With streaming eyes and toltering frame,
and seized Booth by the hand.
"Sir." said be, in broken accents
"you have afforded me a pleasure for
which my whole future life will feel
gratihed. I am an old man. and every
day from ny boyhOod to the present

"You are right" replied Booth. "to

labor Tor thirty years, and ] am far

Eighth Ohio Regiment was going
from Cleveland to Camp Dennison.
Capt. Buckingham supposed the train
would stop at Crestline, and notified
his wife. Unfortunately the orders
were to pass through Crestliue without
stopping. The train, however, checked
DIP little, but the speed was still
high. The gallant Captain saw his

her quickly, and under tremendous ap-
