A True PATRloT.-The Houston Telegram
of May 18th contains q narrative Of the adj
ventures Of Judge Nicholas Cleary, formerly
Judge of the Thirteenth judicial District Of
California, and afterwards United States Ma
val Storekeeper at Shanghai, China. On
hearing of The secession ofVirgiuia, his native
State, be forthwith undertook 10 return thith-
err. The journey had occupied two years when
be reached Houston, during which time he
encountered dangers, surmounted obstacles,
and endured privations aud sutferings that
no ordinary man could have triumphed over.
He has travelled about ll,000 miles by wa
ter, over 1850 miles on foot by land, and i'll q
terrible country for foot travellers, and will
have travelled fully 1000 miles besides in va.
rious conveyauces, and Ill tue TINE exposed
to hardships and dangers Of which ordinary
men can have no conception. Besides this no
has sacrificed position, pruperty-teverythlhg,
to offer his services to his native country III
the war in which she is now engaded.
Many of our people have taken a good desl
of pains to keep out of the army. We doubt,
however, if any manin the Confederacy has
done as much to get out of or into the ermy
as Judge Cleary has to offer hls services to
his native State. We glory in his heroic for
litude, and point to him as a bright example
of TIE sruf of which the men are made who
are now striking for liberty in this the great.

KENTUCKY TREASON.

having recently by unanimous vote declared
for State Rights as against tho authority of the
General Government, aud still later having
passed by nearly the Same vote Resolves in
favor Of q Peace Convention 40 LOulsvllle, is
now busily discussing the general subject OF
Federal relations. Ii is difficult to see why the
record Of this body on the most vital question
of national politics is not already made up, for
since ii afirms file right of the State to be
superior to that of the United Statcs--which
is tantemount to ju%ifying SecessiOn--and has
summoned Convention 10 which Commission
ers representing those views will be sent, il
must be- presumed that they will cndeavor to

We'll doing, however, the popular branch Of her
lection of reports and resolutions from the Com.
miitee on Federal Relations and from enter
prsiDg individual patriots which Mr.. Jefferson
Davis will readily accept as additional evidence
of services in his cause.
The majority Of the Committee presents an
elaborate summary of grievances suffered by
Kentucky at tho hands of tho Administration,
but the whole may be collected in one charge;
that the policy of tho Government is changed
from Pro.Slavery TO Anti.Slavery-in other
words, that Kentucky no longer controls it.
Because she does not, her Legislature thinks
proper to launch successvely lectures and men
aces against the Federal authority. Here is q
specimen:
