Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
FRANKFORT. Ky. Ian. %

FRANKFORT, hY., Jan. 20.
Martin p. Marshall, of Mason county,
made a splendid speech in the Senate
yesterday, taking the strongest possible
grounds for the Government. He con-
demned Governor Robinson's message,
and said that the effect of the one ided
resolutions offered from day to day was
to weaken the confidence Of the people :;
that it was the duty OF the Legislature
to succor and sustain the Chief Magis-
trate of tho nation, and not to weaken
his honest endeavOrs to maintain the
constitutional rights Of the people. He
read letter from John j Crittenden to
Gov Robinson, in which that statesman
says that it is sufficient for Kentucky,
through her Legislature, to pass resolu-
tons declaring that the Presidents
proclamations are unconstitutional and
void and then to pause.
Col. O'Nsil Whitaker, Of Shelby, and
Mr.. Pratt, of Bourbon, also made highly
patriotic speeches; both taking the
ground that Kentucky had but one Of
two things TO do-either to support the
Government. or to become the prey Of
the Southern Confederacy.
Col Whitaker scarifed Senator Fro
vor's resolutions, and denounced in the
most distinct terms any and every at
tempt TO bring the Government into dis
rspqte, or weaken its strength, by de-
stroying the confidence Of the people.
The scene in the Senate chamber was
impressive and grand when Mr.. Marshall
spoke, and the ground he has taken will
no doubt be sustained by the Legislature

VALUABLE INr0BMATIoN.-The London
Weekly Dispatch, in a recent violent at
tack on the United States, says that it
is notorious that no person Of color has a
vote, even In The free States there is a
reign Of terror at the ballot-box there
is no career for any man independent Of
q faction and electioneering trickery, and
free persons of color are prohibited from
holding lands, or 80 much as setting foot
within Ohio, Il,iaois, and other Ne0 Eng
land States.

Murfreesboro Federal Prisoners.

The correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald, at Fortress Monroe, writes
under date Of Jan. 81:
The flag of truce steamer New York,
Captain Henry w. Chisholm, in charge Of
Capt. John f. Milford, company X,
third New York infantry, arrived this
morning from City Point, and brings
seven hundred of the Murlreesboro priso-
II rs-all privates, of course, inasmuch as
the officers have been kept back pursuant
to the proclamation of King jeff. The
poor fellows look careworn and neglected,
and have not improved vastly in strength
consequent upon a months incarceration
in Libby Prison. A number OF the re-
leased prisoners are sick and, disabled,
and long TO get home TO recuperate their
exhausted strength. The appearance of
these men stamp them at once as veter-
ans and heroes, the majority of them
having been engaged at Forts Henry and
Donelson, Pittsburg Landing, Corinth
and Murfroesboro.

The statement that Gen. Grant lost
100000 worth Of supplies at Holly
Springs is manifestly a gross exaggera-
ton. If his army numbered $4,000
men, ,5O0,0 900 rations, a supply Of thirty
days, at fifteen cents per ration "a liber-
al paper would cost but S225,0 900 or
S250,000, including transportation. Five
million dollars worth would be ten
months supply, Rations for forty days
is all he could have been likely to aecu-
mulate, and a large proportion Of these
were probably at other points, so that he
could not have lost more than $3.50, 900
worth. II is not possible that sufficient
cotton was destroyed to make up the
amount to S5,0O0,O00.

When skating is good, accidents aud
incidents occasioned by the sport are nu-
merous. But the funniest is that told by
the Newburyport Herald Of a man in that
place who was so enjoying the pastime
that he forgot to go and get married,
keeping his allianced waiting long
while at the clergyman's, and it was not
till he had been called again aud again
that he could be reached and reminded
of his engagement, "There," says he, 81
had forgotten all about that business, but
I'll be there in moment" and up he
came to fulfil his promises.

1t is not the part of either char
ity or discretion to question the
loyalty TO the Union, Of all who
differ from us in regard to the
measures best adapted to destroy
the rebellion. Men may honestly |
and Loyalty differ about she policy
to be pursued to obtain the great |
end Of saving the republic and de-
stroying the rebellion. All who |
heartily detest the rebel cause and |
are resolved to destroy it, to crush
it out until not a vestige Of it shall
remain, are patriotic, are loyal.
But at the same time we regret to
say that there are men who use
reasonable suggestions, along with
their loyal professions. These men
in the ardor Of their opposition to
certain measures Of the Govern
ment seem to forget at times that
there is an armed rebellion, which
threatensthe integrity of the coun-
try and which is arrayed indeadly
opposition against the Government.
Some of our Northern exchanges
are filled, column after column,
with fierce denunciations and vitu-
perations, sometimes against the
President, sometimes against Mr..
SEWARD, sometimes against Mr..
WELLEs, sometimes against BANKS,
BUTLER or BURNSIDE, sometimes
against our soldiers in. the
field. We find no similar denun-
Citations of Southern traitors, who
are in arms, who are seeking by
open force to overthrow the Gov
eminent and who have slain
thousands of our noblest citizens
in battle. 1t is plain that such
journals are anti-administration
far more than they are anh-robel.
They hate Republcanism far more
bitterly than they do Southern
treason. The language of the ".
Y. World, of the ". y journal
QfC0mmerce, of the Chicago Times,
and of the Cincinnati Enquirer is
conceived in the same spirit with
which the tory Judge HALL, of
New Orleans, prosecuted the pat.
riot JACKSON, for daring to save
that city from British rapine and
plumber, without regarding the
forms and rules of the civil law.
An indignant people proclaimed
on every wind, at that memorable
time, that
"THE SAFETY OF THE REPUBLIC WAS
THE HIGHEsT LAW
and JACKSON came out of that iu.
dicial ordeal cnveloped in a
brighter glory. The President
and his advisers have done
many things which we condemn,
things which we can never ap-
prove, gbut God forbid that we
should turn aside from fighting the
armed enemies of our country, tC
fight the Administration, because
their views do not always accorC
with ours. Shame on the partisans
whose factions spirit and love o
place and power, prompt them tC
stir up mutiny and dIssension in the
Union ranks. Let us conquer the
armed rebels first. We can en-
dure pernicious theories a littl,
longer than we can bayOnets anC
cannon. We dc not think that tht
widest speech ever uttered by
wendell PnLLps is 1.-THE a.
dangerous as a raid of "Stonewall'
JAoEsoS. or even of JONI MORGAN
We do not think it would be wis
dom to cease quenching a fir,
which was destroying orr house
because FANNY WRIGHT or BIC
HAM YOUNG was preaching heresie
on the next square. Let us fgh
and conquer the armed rebels first
and we shall have plenty Of tim
to settle political theories after

the fact that on the 3lst of December,

killed at Picksburg Thus at different
