THE JEFFERSONIAN DEMOCRAT.
Slavery Perishing in Kentucky.

There is s'hardly q farmer 10 the sur
rounding Counties but has lost almost
every elave he had. One instance alone
will suffice-Major Shelby, son Of ex-
Gov. Shelby. Out Of fifty hands all are
gone but two. and they ale SO aged and
decrept, that they are Of no account to
him whatever and thus the old gentle
man is left, with the heaviest crop in the
earth he ever had, with no means Of gath
ering ii. One day this week, while riding
out on the Georgetown pike, saw four
as pretty white girls as ever saw on
Broadway, dressed in common calico,
with straw hats on their heads, sll armed
with rakes, and bundlng up the sheafs
to The music Of "Coming ,bro' the Rye"
Town and country are all the same.
Families are deprived Of their female serv-
ants, who are either wanted in the field or
have run away. Thus the mistresses are
obliged to don the white apron and do the
cooking and other menial dutiea, which
three years ago they would never have
dreamed they could do. AT the Phoenix
and Broadway hotels, the proprie,ors
have been obliged, from the scarcity Of
help, TO 60 over into Ohio and hire white
girls to wait on the table, make beds, etc.

Important Movement of Gen. Grant.

The telegraph brings us the important
intelligence OF a new change OF base by
Gen. Grant. 1t informs us that he has
given Petersburg the go,by, and marched
towards Richmond. and that he has ad.
vanced to point less Than nine miles
from tho latter city. after taking two of
the outer lines Of The enemy's defenses,
capturing seven pieces of artillery. and Il
number OF prisoners, The maneuvre Of
sending one Of the Army Corps down the
river on transports, with colors flying and
bands playing lively airs. and then wheel.
ing about and steaming up the river to.
wards Richmond in the dark, and return
ing 10 within two miles Of Fort Darling, is
certainly bold movement. Should
Grant succeed in destroying the enemy's
pontoon bridge across The James river, it
appears as though he will have things
considerably his own way. inNsmuch as
Lee will be compelled TO march twenty
miles in order to oppose his approach 20
the city. A large portion of Lees army
is now absent ioraging through the Shen-
andoah valley, and it looks as though
Grant was executing this movement for
the purpose OF taking advantage of Lees
present weakness.
This move OF Grant is frought with
great events, and the result will be
watched for with the mos, intense anxiety
by the country. CIeve. Leader.

Mobile.

Public interest is now directed towards

received from that is all highly inspiring -.
Thoy would not DO apt to mako il any bot.

Mobile IS regarded as highly disastrous to

to US. The city was defended by formd-
&C., as any city on the Gulf. Tho following
Ia briet description of tho defenses of the
harbor:
Mobile was perhaps the best defended
place in the Gulf, and it required all the
dash OF Farragut to gain a foot-hold inside
of the detenses. 1t was not only protected
by heavy forts, well armed, but BY a for
midable flotilla of iron nclad rams, gunboats
and cotton clads; and this fleet. must be do.
stroyed or driven we'll up the bay before il
will be sato for the wooden vessels to pass

Abandoned Fremont.

Wilkes' Spirit Of tie Times, at one
time warm and conscientious advocate
of Gen. Fremont's election, has hauled
down his name. and refuses to give him
any further support or confidence. The
Spirit was badly deceived in the man and
the party, and states its objections to the
humbug movement in the following para
graph, very clearly. and gives the position
of the supporters OF that once truly honor
ed man, in true. bat not an enviable light.
Wilkes says, in the Times of July 20Ih:
"We regret to see that the movement
in favor OF Gen. Fremont. which it was
hoped would have secured good nation
al candidate from the Democratic party,
has, through the imprudence OF its orators
and organs, resoireG itself into q mere
ouriiiory agency TO tie nomination of Nc
Cieltan. The elements which originally
rallied round Fremont, and which FASH
ioned the platform subsequently modified
at Cleveland was an earnest. ardent, lib.
er.y loving. rebel'hating element, and
which. obeyeng these instincts, was bit
terly opposed to everything that savored
Of Copperheadism. or that exhibited the
slighies, indication OF conservative pteclv-
ity. Indeed, IL was the res,ive hostility
OF ardent men to Mr.. Lincoln's retention
Of Pro Slavery Generals, and TIE suspicion
that he was disposed 10 compromise ,oith
tie rebellion. Vhich gave shape and vigor
to this organizDtisn of the radicaI Democ-
racy. The Fremont movement was, in
short. the fartheresl from copperheadsm
or retrogression, OF any political formation
known to the country and yet strangely
enough ,cs noto find il in practical alliance
wah The Copperhead taeticians. and com
Jining NTH them, actively. in restoring
their most pernieioas representatives TO
popular esteem."
