report at Shaw's hat store, and then go 10
headquarters.
He is liberal and active in the cause
Of the Government, and as he told us, IL
no candidate, asks no fsvors, an d would
not have any Office. But his platform is
"the Union, The Constitution and the
enforcement Of the laws" lie says these
people who are always making a noise
about the proclamation and negroes aud
the Constitution, never give a dollar 10
help along the wives and children Of the
men who have gone 10 our army TO keep
the vandals from our State. He opposed
the resolutions because they did not ex-
press the opinions Of the Union men Of
the County, and hoped we would vote
them down, which we did very promptly,
a division Of the House being called, a
few remained with the Committee, while
the principal part, probably three fourths
went over TO the right side. And then
we adjourned.
IL il reported that the party managers
are to get up another meeting in few
days-pcrhaps Saturday--to get their
views endorsed by somebody. We shall
know more Of that hereafter. But the
moral OF the one OF to-day is very legi-
BILE. The Union men Of this region have
not embodied their whole political faith
in opposition TO our Government, and
they do not hail with great joy the great
Butternut movement of the North.

Our Situation,

From the Richmond Wing, 18th April
To-day two years ago Fort Sumter
was wreSted from the hands Of the
Bnitcd States forces. We have now
encountered and resisted successfully
the armies and nayies Of that Govern.
mcnt rs many years as they allowed
US months in the beginning, and we
stand to-day in an attitude Of as deter.
mined defiance, and as impregnablc
defence, us we have presented during
the war. Not many months after
hostilities began, the New York Tr-
bune, the most potent organ Of the
enemy, insisted that if they did not
subdue us in twelve months, the effort
should be abandoned; for, said that
journal, there is not an instance in his
tory of people maintaininga struggle
for Independence Il year, being after,
wards subjugatcd We have maintain.
cd our struggle not one year only, but
two years, and are yet so capable Of re
sistance that at all points the enemy
are held at bay, or are retiring before
us. Gould anything but the most in.
curable phrenzy proIong the effort ON
the part of the enemy.
Until recently the conflict has served
mainly to show that in the field, and
away from the seas and the rivers, we
had nothing to fear from the enemy.
Almost without exception we vanqulsh.
ed and routed them whenever they
presented themselves at q distance
from their gunboats. But relying upon
their immense naval preparations, they
still hopod to inhict such injury on us
that we would be compelled, in the end,
to relinquish tho contest and sue for
peace. 1t has been reserved for US to
show; as we have done in the last year,
and especially in the last few days,
that we arc ablo to cope with their
enormous navy and with the monsters
Of the deep they have devised in the
shape of iron-clad and turrcttod steam
ers. A gun has been invented, and is
now in use, that penetratcs the thick
est iron mail they are able to employ.
In the harbor of Charleston we have
sunk the most powerful of their Mon.
tors, fondly believed by them to be
invulnerable. The others know their
doom if they approach our batteries.
The enemy have learned that their vast
I and costly preparations are all in vain,
and that on the coast and by the banks
of our navigablc streams, as well as in
the interior, we are now prepared to
meet them. And, so, as the war has
Progressed, we have taught them that,
whether on land or sea, we are their
masters
1t remains only to ascertain whether
I've have the sagacity to manage fnan,
'clal matters, and the patriotism and
energy to produce the provisions ne.
eefsary to support our armies and
people while the war lasts. In regard
. the former, wc have the most EN-.
Rhatic and valuable encouragement in
he tidings from England that Cotton
POtes are selling there at premium,
} md that more than fifty millions of
Follars have been offered for invest
aSent 1t will require but q modcum
financial ability to turn this tact to
e most material advantage to US.

From Kentucky--Pegram's Defeat

From the Richmond Dispatch, April 10
A gentleman just from Kentucky
brings somo information of the opera.
tions and final ropulse of Pegram's
brigade in that State. On the oath
ult. Col. Scott, of the brigade, with
four companies of his own regiment
and one company of Ashby's regiment,
in all between four and five hundred
men, chased Gen. Fry, in command of
four regiments Of infantry and some of
Woolford's cavalry, out of Danyillc,
completely y routing them, and captur.
ing Lieut. Col. Adams and other pris-
oners While Scott was pursuing the
enemy through the streets Of Danyilc
the Yankees shot Mrs. Mitchell, the
wife of the President of the Branch
Bank of Kentucky, through the head,
killing her instantly, and also II female
servant who was standing behind her.
Col. Scott skirmshed with the enemy
from tho 24sh to the 2Sth, and then
was in Houstonyile, Lincoln county.
During the same timo Gen. Pogram
was skirmishing near HiCkman's
Bridge, on the kentucky river, and
drove the Yankees back.
On the 3lst, when two miles beyond
Somerset, he was attacked by u large
Federal force of cavalry and infantry,
under Carter, Fry, and Wooltord, and,
after q severe hand to hand fight Of
several hours, tho COnfcderates gave
up the unequal contest and fell back
six miles, the enemy not pursuing
Our loss was heavy, supposed to have
been fifty killed. Some two hundred
and over were missing after the fight;
but as parties of stragglers have been
coming in since, the total loss cannot
be ascertaincd. The loss Of the enemy
must have been very severe, as our
troops are .ep0rted to havo fought
with desperation, as we'll as from the
fact that the enemy failed to follow
| them
Mcssrs. Powell and McGheo, who
had purchased for our Government
some 900 head of cattle, are reported
to have got out with $50, having lost
some $40
BY way of Cumberland Crap we have
a report that Col. Clark's cavalry had
possession of Mount Sterling, where
he had captured some 200 prisoners,
and that Humphrey Marshall had join,

tation of Guthrie, had been started
with 10000 Federal infantry and 10,

In military point of view, then, we

The Cr1ttenden Resolution.

The following is the resolution present
ed by Mr. CR1rrENDEN, and adopted by
both Houses of Congress, by nearly an
unanimous vote in each House, on the 23d
and Oath of July, 1861: enipoI'at ,.y
RESOLVED. That the present deplorable civil
war has been forced upon the country by the
disunionists of the Southern States, now in
arms against the constitutional government,
and in arms around the capital; that in this
national emergency Congress, banishing all
feelings of passion or resentment, will recollect
only its duty to the whole country; that this
war is not waged on their part in any spirit of
oppression, or for any purpose of overthrow
ing or interfering with the rights or institu-
tons of those States, but to defend and main
tain the supremacy of the constitution, and to
preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equal
ity and rights of the several States unimpaired :;
and that as soon as these objects are accom-
plished the war ought to cease.
