aRRRN CLAY SMITH AT COYINGFON'
KRNTYCKY.

The Negro Enrolment Question In Ken.
tucky.-Bsldaud Decided Measures Called
FOr---NOble and Eloquent words.
General Smith advanced, warmly greet
ed, and Immediately riveted the attention
Of his hearers to his remarks, retaining
their close, and evidently pleased, stten-
ton during the entire evening. He re-
marked, in commencing, that il was his
conviction that more loyal people than
those Of Covington were not to be found in
the country. He continued in a history
Of the inception and growth Of the rebel
lion, placing before the audience, in the
strongest eolors possible, the wiekedness
Of the conspiracy and its dreadful conse-
quences, Then followed his earnest en-
thusiastic remarks in defense of the gov
ernment and the policy Of the Admins
tration, which he upheld in the strongest
terms-his warning 10 the people of Ken
lucky to stand by that Government with
every energy.
In equally forcible language he depicted
the disastrous consequences which would
result TO the State in the event Of any re-
sistance to the policy Of the Administra-
ton. Kentucky neutrality ideas and self
constituted Importance he dissected with
the keenest satire. The suppression of the
armed rebellion and the closing of the
mouths of all traitors Of the North were
points to which he directed equal attention
and earnestness, dwelling upon them at
length, and with the most fsrcible Lam
gusge possible. Upon the great question
Of the dsy-the important topic Of the eve
ning-that Of the enrolment Of the ne
groes as soldiers, he but reiterated in sub
stance his statement expressed in his speech
ct Lexington, as reported in this paper Of
Tuesday last There was nothing qualified,
nothing extenusted-the negro must be
used as a soldier, and the people of Ken
lucky must cheerfully sequiesce in the
same. Again and again this was reitera-
ted, until no mind in the sssembisge could
misconstrue the speakers meaning. The
universal emancipation Of the negro was
also point upon which he dwelt with
equal force, as thing which should and
must be accomplished-as a necessary re-
suit of the eveuts of the time, the certain
ty of which we should hail with pleasure
IS fixed fact. He closed with sn eloquent
exhortation to the people Of Kentucky to
give their earnest support to the Federal
Government in its every effort towards the
suppression Of the rebellion, an sppeal to
their loyalty urged in language as power
full as that in which he avoWed his inten-
tiOn Of giving his unqualified support as
member Of Congress.
Throughout his entire speech the speak
er had the close attention and sympathy
Of his hearers. His every word met their
appreciation, and nearly every sentence
their expressions Of spplsuse. We looked
in vain over the multitude for facial ex-
preston Of doubt or disspprObation, and
Of commendstion. The meeting was ex-
clusivelY one Of the people Of Kentucky,
but a Massachusetts audience could not
have more heartily indorsed the views ex-
pressed.

ReeruitinE Ia the sOath By The LOyaI
-.f glE States.
This subject is again being sgitated by
the press. Some six weeks ago bill al
lowing loyal States to recruit from the en-
emy was passed by the House, but has
been hslting in the Senate, owing to some
very himsy objections against it, such as
that the War Department might be embar-
raised in making out the credits to the
different States, and that State jealOusies
and complaints might arise. All these OBJ
jeotions are Of small consequence, COM
pared with the great benefits that must ne
cesssrily accrue both to the North and the
South. The advantages to the North are
spparent Such enlistments would ens-
ble the North to retain its industrial
classes where they are SO much needed,
The large bounties that are offered in the
Eastern and Middle States would induce
thousands of rebel soldiers 20 desert from
the enemy. The poor men within the
rebel lines would have an inducement to
fee with their families to our lines. Now
the fear Of destitufon keeps thousands
away. II they knew they could secure
three or four hundred dollars bounty, tkey
wonld then feel that their families could be
provided for. Besides, every man recruit-
ed from the South not only increases our
forces, but Weskens the rebellion. 1t is
recruiting doubly from regions where as
yet the National Government has made no
demands. Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennes-
see, and portions Of other States, are re-
stored 10 their allegiance. It is but just
they should assist in filing cur armies
against any possible emergency.
Our army is undoubtedly stronger now
tbEn ever before. But we nevertheless
need reserve force to fall back upon in
case we should suffer reverses or defeats.
We append the law already enacted by
the House, and which yet awaits the SC
tiOn Of the Senate:
Be Il enacted, &C., That any persons resi-
dent in the States Of Virginis, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, or
Arkansas, who may Voluntarily enlist in
the military service Of the United States,
for the term Of three years or during the
war, shall be entitled to the benefits and
privileges Of existing laws, and such per-
sons shall be mustered into the regiments,
or other organizations, of whatsoever State
they may select or in the case Of cOlored
troops, shall be assigned as now provided
by law. And the States, or subdivisions
Of States, procuring such enistments,
shall receive credit for such persons, in
accordance with the laws in other cases.
Presided, That such enlistments as are sU-
thorized in any State, under the provisions
Of this act, shall only continue until such |
State shall have been made subject to |
call for troops. And proVidsd further, That |
no enlistment shall be made Of any soldier, |
either in or out Of any State, except those |
enumerated herein, unless full credit is
given to the State to which the enlisted |
soldier belongs.

The Coles County Riot.

We reprint an article this morning,
showing the origin, progress and eonclu-
sion Of this bloody riot in Illinois. We
have read carefully the accounts furnished
By various Western papers, and find no
material Disagreement in narration Of cir.
eEmstanoes. The Copperheads Of that
region, under the guidance Of liquor and
the reasonable tsscbings Of the Chicago
Times, went to Charleston for the express
purpose Of creating . disturbance with
the soldiers. They went armed with guns
and revolvers, in order to begin the
bloody work on the least prOvccation.
Their bloody work was begun and carried
out with fendish brutality that was only
similarly exhibited in the recent Copper
head riots in New York city
oategQsioslly, this Illinois riot is to be
slassed along with the rebellion itself. lis
spirit and motives were the same. They
are al insurrections against the Govern
meut Of the United States. These North
ern riots have ia view nothing less than
the creation Of diversion here in the
North In favor Of JEFF Davis and his in
famous crew.
What is Esnted for suoh emergencies. Is
q determination on the part of the Ma
tionaI Government to suppress treason in
the North as well as in the South. Every
State government in the North will re-
spOnd with alacrity to any demands for
aid in srch emergencies. Oar own State
has appropriated 8 million Of dollars for
arms and equipments to protect the State
from invasion. The forces raised can also
be used against COpperhesd riots in the
State if necessary.

An Opportunity for Some Congressman.
The fact is now indisputably establish
cd that there are hundreds Of thousands Of
people in Europe who are anxious to come
TO this country, Among these are not
only agricultural lsbOrers, but tens Of
thousands Of the most skilled Of workmen.
The demands Of the North for labor are
such that room win be found for sny num-
Der Of WOrkmen for years TO come. AS
soon IS peace returns, the cotton lands Of
the South will attract immense numbers OF
the young men, 80 that there will be scope
for enterprise and industry in every de-
