This esteemed gentleman is probably
on his way to bis Virginia home. In a
situation Of very peculiar delicacY and
difficulty at the English Capital, where
he had long felt himself in a false posi-
ton, he has borne himself with the un-
varying dignity of gentleman, and the
ability of an accomplished statesman.
That he has been subjected to the cutting
insolence of Earl Russell, (his inferior in
every respeot,) and he is now lain in
wait for the Yankee ships-of- war with q
malignant animosty, in order that our
enemies may wreak dastArdly venge-
anoe on one whom they term the "arch-
traitor,"-all this will but heighten the
regard and esteem with which his coun-
trymen regard Lin.
His claims upon the Confederate Gov
ernment and people are now very high.
To his experience of affairs, acquired in
a long and spotless public life, is now
added q thorough acquaintance with the
springs and movement Of European poll
itics. There is no man at present in the
Confederacy to whom the honor and in
terest of the country could be so fitly
and safely confided in the negotiations
which must soon take place on the ac-
Acknowledgement of our independent SOW
ereignty, and when treaties must be con-
cluded with the other nations of the
earth. There is no office in the gift of
the President or of the people too high
for his merits; and though he is Vir-
ginian, that circumstance can scarcely
operate against his claims in the mind Of
citizens of other States, seeing that his
services, 1--WE may almost say his martyr
dom,) and his exalted character ate 30
generally acknowledged throughout the
land,

,,,teY.day, Conservatism is n rheu-
matism OF the Government
The Chicago Tribune says Of Hon. Lu-
cien Anderson, Congressman elect nom
the First District of Kentucky: 81
In the list of members Of the 3Sth Con-
orsss pnblisbed in our columns a few
davs aimee. Hon. Lucien Anderson, Rep
tatiye from the Kentucky lst Con-
pressional District, was classed Border
State man, who would go into the eau
ous of neither party. The Ogle Conhty
mn Repore er says this classification
does injustice TO Mr.. Andersoa. II has
good authority for saying that MIR, An
derson is an Administration man, of the
most radical stripe. He in favor of all
the measures Of the Administration, and
will vote with the Republicans for
Speaker.
Iu confirmation of this statement of
M. Anderson's position, we have the
proceedings of meeting OF the Uncon-
ditional Union men of Paducah, Ky, at
the Union League Rooms, on the 10th
mat AZ which Mr.. Anderson made a
speech, giving the secessionists and their
sympAthizers some hard blows" After
Mr.. Anderson had finished, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted :
WHEREAS, IL has pleased Almighty
God TO arm the Union men of this cOuh-
try with principles as strong as the ever
lasting hills, to successfully meet that
old traitor the Devil, who has in these
modern times shown himself tue TO his
old character, TO break up governments,
destroy the happiness of communities
and subvert free institutions !, therefore,
ResoIeed That we congratulate the
States of Ohio, PennsylvaniA aud Iowa,
in their late victories over Oopperheadism
and all the other "isms" combined, to
destroy civil and religious liberty.
ResolUel, That we, the true Union men
Of Paducah, will stand by the Admins
tration in its efforts TO suppress the pres
ent unholy rebellion, and will give ouI
support TO no man who is not uncOndi-
tionslly for the preservation Of the Union
and now we instruct our worthy Repre-.

The mass meeting here tonight was
the most immense affair that has ever
been witnessed here. Monument Square
was packed with mass stretching from
eide TO side. The procession was from
all the wards, with transparenoies, 40,
and the enthusiasm beyond bounds. The
platforms were covered with some of the
most prominent men of Maryland They
were draped in flags, and crowned with
the notices; "The Union, Emancipation
and GoldsbOrough"
Among the notices on the Transparent
cies, such rs these were most prominent;

dead--its treason killed it," "We 90 for

the East Baltimore Emancipationists;
"Slavery the charmed spot Of the 18th

Winter Davis was the first speaker.
He said he had just returned from car
rying the war into Africa and the lower
counties of Missouri; that the struggle
was over, the victory won, and nothing
remained but the formal proclamation of
the verdict which the people had already
desired. Secretary Chase was received
with immense cheering, and made very
handsome little speech, exciting the ut
most enthusiasm. Mr.. Garfield, repre-
sentative of New Orleans, Judge Kelley,
OF Philadelphia, Sam Galloway, of CO.
lumbus, and John CovOde, of Pennsylva-
MIA, made short, stirring speeches, and
Maryland speakers are at this hour (after
eleven) continuing the meeting. There
is no hesitancy about putting the issue
in the squarest terms. tits the immedi-
ate, unconditional destruction of Slavery
Winter Davis tainted his opponents with
having tried in vain for three months to
get any body to run against him on this
platform.

Mr.. William Fitzgerald:
SIR: / was aware, before the receipt

it shall be no fault of mine if you do
not remain so during your natural life.
When promised TO intercede with the
military authorities in your behalf, be-

against you were without foundation /;
but on calling on General Winder, found
that il had been reTorted TO him, by .
gentleman Of undoubted loyalty and
veracity, that you have been for years an
enemy and villifier of Southern insti-
tuiions.
In 1856 you voted for the Abolition

the war you have maintained q sullen
silence in regard to its merits. Your
son, whO,..i in common with other young
men, was called to the defense of his
country, has escaped to the enemy, prob
ably by your advice. This is evidence
enough to satisfy me in denouncing you

GRoWL AT BRAGdr+) as
a4aLJ From the Chat ttanooea Rebel
In the serenading speech of President
Dayis, reported in our telegraphic COLI
umns Of yesterday morning, something
is said about the "shafts of malice"
which have been hurled against General
Bragg, who, in contradiction thereto, is
pronounced ga military commander of
the first order" IA
We do not object to free expression of
opinion at all times, and feel no DISPOSE
ton TO quarrel with q man because he is
not of our way of thinking; but here the
license stops. Mr.. Davis has a right to
puff General Bragg TO his hearts content
but he has no right to descend to the un-
dignified game of stigmatizing those who
cannot agree with him. By going out of
his way to inveigh against the thousands
of patriotic citizens, whose homes and
fortunes and families have been, in COM
mon with the interests Of the whole
country, sacrificed to the blundering lun-
Aoy of this man, the President offers a
gratuitous insult, which irriiates but cam
not convert.
God, in bis wisdom and glory, can bear
witness to the purity of those who be-
lieve in their hearts H.at Brarton Bragg is
not oaly no General, but hat he is opposed Il

HJerty--and The most dangerous center O

OBJECTS of interest in alclnm ond

From the Richmond Examiner, Oct. a.
Among the objects of interest one sees
in the streets of this city at present are
some fifty or sixty splendidly- dressed
mulatoes, late ushors and attaches of
gambling houses, who have accumulated
small fortunes by their services, and are
now set adrift by force of the law against
faro banks and other temples of fortune
and depravity These hifalutin swells
pay but little regard TO the regulations of
outdoor etiquette, and even out do white
scoundrels in impudence and the occupa-
tion of the sidewalks, wherever they may
happen to be loafng. There are now
thousands of honest faithful slaves at
work on various public works, and it
would be but just, as well as expedient
and proper, to give these fellows little
wholesome exercise of the same sort.

"Oan free labor grow oottOn" is the
caption Of an article in the Chicago Tri-
bune. We answer-yes; free labor, white
or black, can grow cotton, or anything
else produced in the South. Cut up the
big plantations, cultivate them with free
labor, white, if you please, or black, and
the production of cotton will be greatly
increased. One Of the greatest impos.
lures of the age, Is the declaration of
Southern nabobs, that negro slaves only
can live and work on the cotton planta-
tons. All over the South poor white
boys and men labor in the cotton fields,
and have always done so. They are as
healthy, and do as much work, and bet
ter work, than the negro slaves.

Friday night, about fourteen miles from

beyond David Standiford's, near the
dividing line OF Jefferson and Bulhtt

20 years, named Bunk, and her daughter,
a young lady, grown, were murdered on
Friday night, and their house fred.
The old lady's head was severed from
the body, evidently done by an axe, and
the daughters skull was broken.

this doubl9 murder will be brought TO
