representatives., were present aud took part in
the proceeding BY vouching for their delegates.
MessTs. Grover. johnson, Bush and Chambers
represented their respective counties.
When the cal Of the counties was completed,
Col. Gilbert addressed the convention, express
ing the hope that no one present would inter Sc
cession sentiments, for that would compromise,
and possibly lead to the arrest Of ell. he hen
invited them TO quietly dispense and depart
for their homes, assuring them that it was deei-
dedly tie wisest course for them to pursue, for
as tie Kentucky Legislature had failed to en-
dorse them, by refusing the use Of The capigol,
and their loyalty had not been satisfactorily
vOuehed for, he would not permit any assem-
blsge Of the kind within the limits Of his com
msnd
He told them slso that it was useless to hold
such conventions in Kentueky, as none bat men
of undOubted loyalty would be permitted to run
for Office, Of if elected BY disloyal votes, would
not be permitted to hold Office.
The rebels ground their teeth with rage, but
the presence Of the provost guardin the public
square kept due check upon the disposition &c
riot. About two hundred delegates were. pres
ent but outside these the convention was not
generally attended.
Col. Gilbsrt's conduct was well becoming the
dignity ana authority Of the United States gov
eminent, and be is heartily endorsed by the
trsly loyal people, both citizens and members Of
The Legislature.

Nothing haviag occurred to mark this IS an
unusual era in the Southern Confedelacy, and
although she is environed BY a concentration Of
monster armies and Aeets, rests quietly and Sc
renely IN the midst Of ths threatened danger,
yeposing full copfdsBee in her power and ability
to repel the invading hosts at all points. TIE
intelligence Of her people, the indomiiable cour-
age Of her troops, the skill Of her generals, and
the united determination Of all classes In fght-

our independence, inspires all hands ard hearts
to uuremitted exsTtions in behalf Of the great
cause.

Gus in their results. The parents views are us
ually indelibly written in the character Of the
child aud il mother gets vexed aud scolds amid
her Thousand trials Of patience, her child will
do just so too, and she is co mpletely powerIsss
to calm the troubled waves that so frequently
flow over the undisciplined natures Of child

Neither can = father expect to use language
