Read the report Of the Union meeting
at Lexington, Ky. 1t was an astounding
rebuke to the conditional Union men.
The Louisville Journal is in an agony of
fear, and grOans out in the following
words;
The hnmiliating miscarriage under ne
tice is but special instance Of the great
truth EXTERNAL VIGILANCE Is THE PRICE
OF LIBERTY" 1t behooves the loyal men
of the whole country, and especially the
loyal men of the South wherever elec-
tions are to be held under the national
flag within the next year or two, zeal
Ously TO act upon this maxim. The ne.
glect Of it might here and there saddle
a loyal Southern constituency with an
abolition representative in Congress.
There is danger that twill. Bogus rep
resentauves elected chiefly il not wholly
through the neglect of this maxim have
already presented themselves at the doors
of Congress, and, if the same neglect
continues and is manifested elsewhere in
the South, this class OF representatives
will unquestionably multiply, and, by
means of the formal correctness of their
election, some of them will be admitted.
We shall then see the monstrous anomaly
Of an abolition Congressman elected in
the name Of slayeholding constituency.
We all know what the Journal means
by AbolitiOnist. Il means all who do
not believe that slavery is vital insti-
tuition Of the country" and is necessary
"to keep a check on unbridled democ-
racy."

The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Times furnishes some inter-
esting particulars Of the captivity of the
two hundred and seventy men of the
Eighth United States Regiment, who
were betrayed by General TwIGes, in
Texas, two years ago, and having re-
Gently been parolled by the rebels, are
now in New Orleans. The surrender
took place about fifteen miles from San
Antonio, the command consisting of
three hundred and sixty-six men. The
conditions of their surrender provided
that they should be Immediately taken
to the sea coast, and with their arms,
batteries, tents, 80, be permitted TO
leave the State. No sooner, however, had
they been disarmed, than the one thou
sand eight hundred men under VAN
DoRS, who had surrounded them and
compelled them to give themselves up
prisoners, plundered them of most of
their clothing; one man being robbed
also Of $500 in gold. They were also
treated with great harshness.
This course of conduct was followed
by every possible inducement for the men
to accept commands in the rebel service.
They we're promised the back pay due
by the United States were offered each
fifty dollars bounty, then one hundred,
and finally, some men could have OBJ
tanned five hundred dollars to take the
place Of rich conscripted Texans. All
these inducements obtained but fifteen
men, the remainder were unaIterable,
come veal or woe, in their determine
tiOn to stand by the countFy's flag.
The CONSUMPTION is carried on through
out Texas with the greatest severity
party of Germans in the Southern part
of Travis county, who resisted the OPP
preston, were cody mastered, as an evil
dence of what might be the fate of others
who resisted the authorities. Our men
found that Northwestern Texas was
thoroughly loyal, and this fact was i'm
pressed upon our soldiers whenever they
got an opportunity of speaking unob-
served.

A Georgia Refugees Account of the
Suferings Of the South, and its
Union Sentiment.

AANA 1NANAAaNAN
A refugee from Georgia has furnished
us with several very interesting facts in
relation TO the state Of affairs and pub
lie sentiment in the Northern portions Of
Georgia and Alabama. lie escaped from
there about the fret Of January. The
people are suffering the most lamentable
restitution, Of salt, breadstufs and 9TH
err neeessaries of life. He says that
many Of the large shareholders Of that
region are quite progressive in their
views, and he has heard them declare that
they would rather give up their last ne
gro than the old government, that if
slaves were in the way of the govern
ment; they were for destroying the in
stitution. A great many of the people
believe that il is the design Of JEFF. DA-
Wis to found an aristOcracy. In con-
versihg with some Of the rebel slave
holders, he has heard them say: that no
man who is not a slave holder should be
suffered TO vote in slave State That
poor whites were no better than negroes,
and ought not to vote. Our informant says,
that he entreats the people Of the North
to stop cavilling and being divided, and
to unite-all their energies to put down the
rebellion. He is sure that the people oil
the North know nothing of the distress
and suffering of the Union people Of the
South, or they would be united, and bring
them relief The Southern Unionists
pray daily that the Government will moi
surrender them to the fendish tyranny
of the slave power. II the Northern
people could only look into the interior o
rebeldom, for one day, he is sure there
would be no more division among them

TIE committee sent by the radicals from
Missouri to Washington arc a very modest
set # men. They don't disguise the object
Il have in view. They want to govern
II ssouri, and want the liberty conferred on
them to prosecute all who do not belong to
their faction. 1t is plain, from their state
ment, and undisgused, that in their vocabu-
larry all who do not go for immediate EN-
ancpation of all the negroes are disloyal.
All such they hate, with IA pious adherence,
and tn y welc the power to exile, imprison
or hang all such. They would, perhaps, hang
the men, Danish the women and roast and
eat the children. Jennison and jim Lane
are the apos ties of this new school ofloyalty,
Gen. Blair says Lane boasts of aSsassinations
and murders he never committed, His
bloody propensities surpass lis courage in
crime. Some OF his school are more discreet,
but not less iannatical; and tleir presump-
ton certainly is not wanting in gigantic
proportions. Gov. Gamble and Gen. Soho
field have been as true TO the Government
as men could be, and true to the State Of
Missouri; but they abhor the radicaiism
which is tearing the State to pieces, and,
therefore, they will not do These men
have their counterparts on the other side
in that State, who are equally DESTROYS of
liberty to prescribe other people They are
both revolutionary parties who can't bear to
have their liberties retained by law They
! ,form the President that the condition Of
Missouri is getting worse-that is, they have
not as much power there as they have had
Let them have their way and it all will be
right, no matter what other people suffer.
They are the only loyal people, and loyalty
must govern. The earth and the fullness
thereof belong to the saints, and WE are the
saints.

celebrate the rites of matrimony, was taken
up.
Mr.. Wheat moved to strike out the clause
permitting Justices of Peace to solemnize
the rite of marriage. He said some mem
bers held that there were many places in
the State where there were no ministers,
and had not been for some time; for bis part
he thought if there were towns and counties
in the State where they had no ministers,
and would not support tuem, it made little
difference whether such people were mar
ried at all or not.
Mr.. Golf offered substitute for the whole
bill, which provides that ministers, as well
as persons appointed by the Circuit courts
may solemp!ze the rites of matrimony,
The question elicted quite lengthy dis
cussion, and without deciding tho motion

THERE is a political significance in the
appearance of Russian fleet in the harbor
of New York, which consists of the steam
frigates Alexander, Perseviet, Varing, Al
mos, Iscumvoud, Iahout, Osliala, and Vite-
ase, in all eight vessels, under the command
of Rear Admiral Lessowsky. The unher-
aided arrival Of these vesse in our waters
is an assurance of the friendly feeling of the
Car towards our country and q gentle hint
to England and France that there is another
great naval power to contend for the supre-
macy of the seas. 1t is probable that the
immediate cause of their presence was TO
prevent them from being blockaded in the
Baltic in case of war, but it IS under stood
that the feet will visit the Gulf of Mexico,
aud by thus being in the vicinity of Vera
Cruz act as check upon any warllke move
ments of France in Europe. The Emperor
Louis Napoleon will hardly venture to in
termedde with the Gar at home, while
Russia has powerful feet Of observation
IN the neighborhood Of the French base of
supplies in Mexico, at Vara Cruz and Tam
pico Admiral Lessowsky is well aware also
that Bermuda and Nassau are well stored
with cotton obtained ON British account by

Bull get bcllgerent, he might lose 1t all
before he could help himself The situation
