KENTUCKY GALLANTKY.

The resolutions Of the Kentucky House Of
Representatives, 10 the McfIenry case, have
been considerably modified in the Senate.
McHenry, formerly Colonel of the 18th Ken.
lucky Volunteers violated law of the United
States by giving up loyal blacks to Rebel claim.
ants, and was promptly dismissed by the Pres,
idcnt. The Kentucky House thereupon voted
that McIIenry was right in disregarding tho
United States law, because State enactment
required tho rendition Of fugitives, and tasy
passed resolutions demanding that the President
should reinstate and promote his insubofdinats
Colonel. The Senate, however, substituted the
following:
"R.o,r,d, by tho General Assembly ofthe COninonvslA
of Kentucky That we have Witnessed with pride the la
conduct Of Col John II. McHenry IT, late commander ss
18th Kentucky Regiment and do heartily approve and adss
the order made BY him October last constituting IT, uW
d. to mean that he would expel from his lines and psra
their owners to take in possession, all runaway sAye 'sa
within his CAMP"
This is so far less insolent than the HolA
resolutions that it does not, in terms, require
the President to restore Col. McHenry to CON.
mand, but it 10 to he noticed that Senate and
House alike insist on the supremacy Of Ken
lucky over the General Government The
issue was distinctly made and understood.
The United States prohibited the rendition
which Kentucky epjoined. McHenry recor
nized the authority of the State and dsfsd
that of the Union. The State, BY ito Legil
latiye voice, uphOlds him in this act, and ia
SO doing clearly asserts aud adopts the pes.
tilent doctrines Of Secession.
We regret saeh a declaration, but we caa
understand it. What puzzles us IS 70 CON-

The JEFF. DAVIS Gold. Gamblers in Wall stree

The JEFF. DAVIS GOld.Uamblers In wan street
caught it again yesterday-their favorite " fan
cy" sinking from l66 at the close of Wednes-
DAYS performances to 155 at the time of leav.
ing off last evening in spite Of the most des.
perate exertions to hold it up, which must
have cost many of them from half TO all they
have made ct the cost Of the Nation during the
preceding year. They sold desperately, wildly,
in the vain hope of repelling tue rising tide Of
loyal faith in the Nations future, and forced
the price which had touched as low o. l4S,
back again to 155; but the current set heavily
against them, and they were doomed to 60
under. And it is remarkable that the fall Of
eleven per cent. in one day on Gold did
not depress Stocks an average of one per cent,
while Governments settled hardly more than
half that rate; indeed, while Gold has gone
down since Monday from about liz to l55, OF
IL per cent, Government stocks show scarcely
a shade of difference. Can more be needed
to prove the premiums at which Gold has re.

speedily absorb them at trihe over par. In
default of that, we trust he will try an issue
of $ DOCS, each drawing u cents interest per
day or SIX per cent al the close of each year,
$lO0s each drawing one cent per day or
four per cent at the end OF each year, and
receivable under proper regulations for public
dues or exchangeable into illegal tender, he
thinks best. We firmly believe that he might
pay of One Hundred Millions Of Certificates
Of Indebtedness or other maturing claims with
these notes at par. But We have no special
faith in our own recommendation, aud only
ask him to consider earnestly, decide promptly,
and 10 exactly what is best. In our judg
ment there are yet One Hundred Millions Of

coaxed out into daylight and will be gladly ex-
changed by its owners for Government Securi-

have no moro idle babblc Of twenty or thirty

A COLLEGE ANECDOTuc.

A correspondent Of the Troy IVhig writ.
ing from Mddlebury, Vermont, gets off the
following good burlesgue of the shallow met.

eges: ... ... .'as .-
You have published the anecdote of col
lege student who kept Il barrel of ale in his
room for the benefit of his health, and who
thought ii much improved from the ease with
which he could lift the barrel in comparison
VITA that operation on his first using the
medicine; there is another anecdote Of the
same person which has not appeared in print.
1t was the custom at the college where this
gentleman attended, for the professors to put
to the class miscellaneous questions which
they were expected to answer off hand. On
one OF these occasions the professor turned
to our hero and asked him the following:
" 10 which, sir, does the united voice of all

Gentlemen, the learned professor asks
me to which does the united voice of all an
tlquity ascrbe the seniority, poetryor prose s'
would say in answer to the question, to
which does the voice Of all antiquity ascribe
the seniority, poetry or prose, that have
not the remotest idea to which it does ascribe
the seniority, and furthermore don't care a
straw"
The student took his seat, amid, not the
laughter, but wild, demoniacal shrieks of
the class. Even the sober professor could
not restrain himself But discipline must be
enforced, and our hero was summoned to ap-
pear before the President. As he was not un.
used to summonsc Of that nature, he saun.
tered leisurely to the executive mansion and
confronted the Head Of the Faculty. This
awful parsonage charged him with the crime
OF impertinence in the class, and asked him
what ne had to say for himself. The student
made long speech in exculpation, the gound-
work OF which was-That from his earliest
years ne had possessed great love for the
truth. which compelled him to speak it on all
occasions. That when asked the question,
to which the united voice Of I'll antiquity as.
cribed the seniority, poetry or, prose, he felt
that he didn't know or care a straw; and
such was his regard for truth that he had to
say it right out.

MY MOTHER.
BY KEITH MOORE.

You are growing old, my mother,
Your hair IL growing gray;
The bloom Of youth has long since lsft
Thy cheeks and passed away.
Thy brow, once smooth, Is furrowed now;
The light has left thine eye;
The smiles thatswreatEed thy parted lips,
Have left them now for aye. -. .-
Long years have passed, my mother,
Since knelt beside your knee,
And sang the songs you taught me, ..
With merry, childish glee.
And though VIC now are parted,
And dwell estrangcd from home,
Yet love thee still, dear mother,
Through these weary years Of gloom.
I've found no home like thine mother
No love like "m0ther's lOpe,'
No voice 50 sweet and gentle -y "
No power save His above.
The world has been unkind to me 4h
I've bent beneath its will; .H. .F
Misfortune's pangs have torn my heart,
Yet feel kay dear love still.
That God may bless thee, mother, g
And fill thy heart with joy,
Is but prayer breathed often,
By thy lonely, friendless boy.
And when We both are called from earth,
Oh ! may we reach that home, a..
Where love eutliyes the flight Of years,
And changes never come. as s...
