FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 25, l863.-In the
Legislature, yesterday, Mr.. Marshall, of Ma
son county, made splendid speech IN the Sen
ate, taking the strongest possible grounds in
favor Of the Government. He condemned the
Governors message, and said the effect of one
sided 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 Magistrate of the nation,
and not TO weaken his honest endeavors to
maintain the constitutional rights of the peo-
pie. s..-... ..... ... .
He read letter from John J. Crttenden to
Gov Robinson, in which that statesman says
that it is sufficient for Kentucky, through her
Legislature, to pass a resolution declaring that
the Presidents proclamations are unconstitu-
tional and void, and then to pause.
Whitaker of Shelby, and Pratt of Bourbon,
also made strong patriotic speeches, both TAX
ing ground that Kentucky had but one of two
things to do-either to support the Govern
ment, or to become the prey Of the Southern
Confederaey. They denounced every attempt
to bring the Government into disrepute, or
weaken its strength by destroying the conf
dence of the people.
The scene was impressive and grand. The
ground taken by Marshall will probably be
sustained by the Legislature
1t is expected that the Committee on Fede-
raj Relations will report on Monday on the
resolutions proposing National Convention,
an armlstIce, &c.

SENATOR SALISBURY AND HIS FREAks.-
The Washington correspondent of the Phla-
delphia inquirer of the 28th, says;
After ,senator Saulsbury's final arrest Oh
Tuesday night, he was taken in a cab TO his
residence, though considerable force had to be
used One of the officers was thrown violent
IT, to the floor before he was willing to go
nome On Wednesday morning ne made his
appearance in the Senate about nlne O'Clock.
His first inquiry was for his revolver, which
he was unable to find, it having been taken
from him and put away. He was still labor
ing under the influence of liquor, and soon
went up to his committee room, where he had
considerable quantity in store, and imbibed
again freely. He remarked to one of the Off
GERS that he had been drinking too much sher-
rv last night, and it had got into his head, but
he did not care a - His voice to-day,
wednesday, is thick, and he seems very SUI
len. Two officers eman near him, and it is
not feared that he will commit any violence
upon the Senators, unless he again gets too
much sherry 1t is not probable that he will
be expelled, but he will, no doubt be severely
censlred, by resolutions. He sits next behind
Senator Wall of New Jersey, with whom he
is in conversation most of the time.
After he had replied to the resolution to ex
pei him to-day, he put his hands into his coat
pockets and started across to the Republican
side of the Senate. A number of members
kept an eye on him, and one or two officers
suddenly found business across the floor also.
When near Senator Dixon, he leaned over and
spoke to him. No apparent attention was
paid to his remark by the Senator, and he
went back to his seat i'll few minutes he left,
with Senator Wall, for the side room.'
The galleries have been crowded all day,
every one watching and pointing towards him
from all parts of the galleries
Senator Salisbury was conveyed from the
Senate to his home this afternoon, in state of
high nervous excitement, bordering on eonges-
tion of the brain"
Senator Salisbury has since apologised very
humbly for his conduct The resolution in
troduced for his expulsion from the Senate was
accordingly not called up.

The rhird seige Of vieksburg.

The latest accounts from the Mississippi nv
er state that Commodore Porter's squadron and
Gen. McClernand's army had reached Young's
Point, only twenty miles above Vlckspurg.--
Gen. Grants army is reported going to MILL
ken's Bend. which is on the Louisiana side OF
the river. and 26 miles above Vicksburg HIS
force had not left Memphis on Tuesday last,
but were leaving daily.
The Memphis Bulletin has large accounts
from the South of the preparation OF the reo-
els to defend Vicksburg. Gen. Joe Johnston,
who commands the whole western department,
is said to be marching with an immense force
to Vicksburg. 1t is believed that Gen. john
ston can concentrate 10000 men for Its de-
fence.
The rebels are determined to stake every
thing to hold Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and
to keep open communication between Loulsl-
ana, Arkansas and Texas. The rebel fortih-
cations at Port Hudson and Vicksburg are
complete and the rebels feel confident that
they can hold that place and Vicksburg also.
THE SECOND ATTACK.
The official report of Gen. Sherman, on file
in the war department, gives clear history of
the late attack on Vicksburg, and shows that
it was made strictly in accordance with the or
ders of Gen. Grant, at the very time and in
the very manner indicated. Gen. Sherman
was ignorant of the capture of Holly Springs,
and the retreat of Grant, but acted on the
supposition and previous arrangements that
Grant should advance on Pemberton, and keep
him occupied, while Banks was to come up the
river. The attack was made with great gal
lantry, and would have been successful but for
the large renforcements the enemy was able
to send to Vicksburg. Gen. McClernand, on
his arrival, outranked Gen. Sherman, as the
major general of older date, and both were ac
formed before the expedition moved from Mem
phis. ..s# #.....

Interesting from Rebeldom.

Among the letters captured at Murfreesboro
was one written to private in the 32d Miss
issippi Volunteers, dated Tippah County Miss.
Dec. 8, in which the writer ,ays:
Things are e0ideatly going against as here.
The tide of misfortunes commencing with the
unsuccessful attack on Corith, has not turned
yet"
He then enumerates theirsuccessiye retreats,
and says they are dscouragng the people
He speaks of the large number Of slaves who
are continually escaping from his neighborhood
to the Yankee lines and mentions plot for
an extensive stampede, which was nipped in
the bud.n A white man named Cobb was the
leader of the fugtives, and he had been arrest
ed and was to be hung in few days. Affairs
seem to be in turbulent stase in Tippah Co.
as regards the black chattels.
From the same county in Mississippi faith
er writes to his son, in the rebel army as fol-
lows: .. ...
@ do not know that is proper, but will ven
ture any how to give you my views as to the
prospects for the success of the South and, in
a word, they are extremely gloomy at present !;
indeed, if there is any chance at all cannot
see it; and feel to regret that so many are
kept out suffering the hardships of camp life
under such circumstances. 1t may be that |
am premature in this, but | do not see any
possible chance for the South, except some ex-
traordinary circumstance should occur to favor
us, and that you know we have no right to ex-
pect. | have lost confidence in our leaders,
particularly the Congress. The course they
pursue, or rather the laws they pass, think
we'll calculated to ruin any people, particularly
under such trying circumstances as these.
'EThe acts of Congress that | particularly
object to are the sending man home because
he has twenty negroes, instead of pressing him,
negroes and all, into the service and then, the
refusal to raise the wages of prlvates and non
commissioned officers especially after every
thing else has risen so much that even S15 per
month would not buy half as much as Sl1
would before the war begun; and many other
things too tedious to mention. Some may
think it treason to find fault in war times, but
for my part, think that, if the people have
particle of liberty, they should speak out when
so much is at stake, and not let a set of selfish
demagogues ruin them or deprive them of the
last vcstige of liberty.
Our chances far salt are very unfavorobe
at present. A great many of us sent, some
time since, by Mr. Larkin Gambrel, but have
not heard from him yet, and great many are
buying from the Yankees. 1t seems, indeed,
the way things are working at present, that
we will be compelled to trade with the enemy,
if We get the chance"

The RETALIATION MEASURE IN The REB
Ell CoN uREss-The Confederate House al
Richmond has been discussing Mr.. DAVIS plar
OF retalatI on for the emancipation edict, and
there lssno unanlmity of opinion Oh the sub
iect The chief point made against it seems
to he that 1t is attempt Of Davis TO shrink
the responsibility, and that if he wants the
fedora officers hung he had better do it him
self and not throw ii upon the governors. The
discussion so far as il was public, is reported
as follows =
M. Clopton offered a series of joint resolu-
tons relating to the conduct of the existing
war. and the late proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States. The resolutions
contemplate the delivery of captured federal
officers to the State governments for trial.
Mr.. Dargan of Alabama took the gronnd
that powers at war must retaliate The reso-
utions contemplated the turning over of cap
tured officers to the State Governments, and
10 let them be punished according to their
laws. He did not think that was correct ;
but suggested that the government should take
the responsibility itself.
Mr.. Lyons of Virginia suggested that the
government had no power to turn these cap
tured officers over to the States. Nor was
there any necessity for the resolution, since the
President has said in his message he will do it
unless prevented 10y Congress. He favored
the passage of law prohibiting such course,
and repose the power of retaliation entirely III
the hands of the Government.
Mr. Foote preferred in lieu of retaliatory
measures, as suggested by the resolutions, that
an attempt should be made to stop the she'd
ding of blood by movement to bring about
peace 1t would strengthen the friends of
peace at the North, and perhaps, have the ef-
feet of producing state of things so much
desired, notwithstanding the opposition of the
abolition party, He.signifed his intention to
offer resolutions hereafter-not for the purpose
of yielding one inch of ground to the North
but to throw the entire responsibility upon the
Lincoln government if these scenes of blood
are TO continue.
Mr.. Lyons regained the foor When an
officer was captured, if there was Cause for re-
taliation, he might retaliate upon him if not,
we were bound TO exchange him. They could
not, by any law of nations, when captured by
one government, be turned over to another
government for trial He would prefer that
any officer captured in any State after the
PRONUNCIATION OF that proclamation, should be
instantly hung not subject him to the uncer-
tainties of a trial by jury.
Mr.. Kenner of Louisiana called the atten-
tion of the House to the fact that this portion
of the Presidents message was referred to the
committee of ways and means. That commit
tee was now prepared to report He moved,
as instructed by the committee, that the House
now 60 into secret session for the purpose of
receiving that report.
The motion was agreed to, and the House
went into secret session.
