A r.itt1c Tempest in Kentucky.
Several Michigan regiments, now stationed
in Kentucky to defend that State from rebel
foFays, arc publishing ut Lebanon little
Journal called The Union Tidette. Singularly
enough, this little sheet has stirred up an iul-
mcnse deal Of indignation among the So
called loyal press Of kentucky. The Demo-
e7at and Journal Of Louisville denounce it as
IN unmitigatcd Abolition publication Of the
most incendlary character, and Its publishers
as traitors and scceseion;sts. A temperate
discussion of the question SIS the Presidents
Proclamation constitutional" :" in the first
number, is the cause of an this hullaballoo,
and the suppression Of the paper is Loudly
called for. Now, the most radical portion Of
the obnoxious article, which We give below,
would be termed hereabout eouud and patri-
otic. We quote;
I'VE did not bring on the war, but with Gods
help We intend to end it. We did not break the
peace but We hope to re-estab}ieh It.. We desire
peace, AMI the terme are easy and simple. The
price is submission. Submission not to US, not 10
the North, not to the Lincoln Administration, but
TO The GoYer1ment as &our fathers m3de it. Let
them undo what they have violently done. Let
them sutrelder the forts, arscnals. aud ships they
have seized; give up the Ininte and custom houses
they have stolen. Let them submit the question
In dispute to the decision Of the ballotboI rather
than OF The castridge-box. and then there will be
peace. TIL then. 's<rer!"
We don't think anybody but Kentucky
"Unionist" could possibly discover anything
trcasonable or incendiaty In such sentiments
rs these.

watched this gathering uf darkness, for i'll it
We knew were thundcrs, and lightnings. and
volcanoes, which at any Instant might light IN
the night with fierce irruptions.
So long time passed without any thing
occurring, that people began to believe that
the rebels had determined, for some 1ualeyo-
lent purpose, to allow the fcct to pass below
without obstruction; some men offered bets
to back such opinions. However, this suppo-
sition was hardly broached ere It was csntr.a-
dietcd most emphatieally. At jnst quarter
before cltren, two blight, sharp lines Of flame
flashed through the darkness, at the extreme
right Of the VicksbIrg batteries; and, in IN
Instant, tue whole length of the bluffs WAS
blaze with fire. The fleet, which had rounded
the Point, and now lay squarc!y before the
elty, at once responded BY orening their ports
and pouring their full broadside Of twenty five
heavy guns, charged with grape and scLrap-
mel, directly against the city.
Ibas introduced the second scene, and q
most exciting one Was 1.-THE stars were veil
ed with crimson, the earth rocked with heavy
sthunders. '
"A great cloud Of smoke rolled heavily oyer
the gunboats, and in this the three tr:Insnnrfs
entered and made their "best time down The
river. The Forest Queen, which was in the
advance, received q shot IN the hull. and ano-
tler through the steam drum, which dfsahied
her Instantly: The Henry Clay, that cane
next, stopped, to prevent her running into
the other, and at thes same moment WAS struck
by shell that set her cotton on fire. The
crew, demoralizcd BY the stoppage md terri
fed By the fire, mn ainlessly around for . few
moments, then launched the yawl. eprane
into it, and pulled for the shore. The pIloi
finding that no engineers obeycd the bells,
staid short time till the fire began to sectae
round him, when he seized PUNK, jumped
overheard, and was picked up by gunboat.
The Clay, in tho meantime, became
a,great blazing mass, that tloated down the
river until it disappeared below Warrcnton.
Had she been manncd by men Of nezyc, tho
fire would have been extingnishcd and the
boat carried through safely; the fact Of her
boating 20 lar, shows that her bull was un-
injured.

EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA.


The following is an extract from a
letter written by gentleman who is
at present travelling in Russia
"The emancipation of the serfs is
no sham but a great and noble re-
atty, carried through with caution
and courage that do equal honor to
the head and heart of the Emperor. 1t
is scarcely possible to measure the
grandeur of this peaceful resolution,
by which nearly 10000, 900 of the peo-
pie are raised from a condition close
ly akin to slavery to the level of free
men of other civilized states. This
great act is consummated with com.
paratively little suffering and large
prospects of future advantages to the
mobiles and proprietors of land, save
only those whose estates should come
under an incumbered estate act. The
emancipated serfs are already dis
playing degree of industry and in
telligence that surprises their former
owners establishing schools, laying
out horded money on lands and tene.
ments, and in many other respects
showing great intelligence and ga.
gacity."

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN-Judge Dillon,
in case recently tried at Davenport,
has decided that township and not
a county is responsible for the condi-
ton of the road and that all liability
for damages resulting from bad roads
falls on the township through which
the road passes-but not SO with re
gard to bridges. The law makes il
the duty of the county Supervisors tt
keep bridges in repair, and therefore
the county and not the township is re
sponsible for damages resulting OF
account of defective bridges.-Du
