Where the beasts of the wild do dwell?
Or the lofty mountains where the leaves are scar,
And the dark clouds SHOWS foretell?
Or over the Indies coast I'll rove,
Where the perils lie hid in the deep.
ALL all 1 shall dare, to prove my love,
Fen in their dark waves I'll sleep!

Message of Governor Bramlette to the
Kentucky legislature.

FRANKFORT. KY, Dec. Ex-Governor Bramlette's
message to the Legislature of this State says that
Kentucky furnished to the Federal armies mostly
three years mem 63,975 white and 25,53S coored SOL
diers, remarking in this connection: Ours was not
loyalty which drawsits subsistence from promised
profits and its from distant danger, but that
undying devotion to principle which neither loss of
property nor present danger could overcome. He re-
eommends each county to organize company to sup
port the civil authorities Tne Governor says the result
has been such forever Danish the heresy
of secession. The war has determined the impract-
cability of secession and it only remains for the judi
eay to decide that secession is treason to have the
subject forever and finally adjusted. This adudica
ton should properly be had in the of the chief Of
the rebellion, to make precedent for all time to
come"
The Governor argues that the adoption of the Con-
stitutional Amendment would give perpetual indem-
nifty against the attempt to control the question of
suffrage through the Federal powers. and recon-
mends its adoption because slavery has ceased to
exist, and universal emancipation has made freedom
thoroughly national,
The question, What is to become of the negro? the
Governor leaves to time to solve. He recommends
the invitations into the State Of superior class of
laborers to develope the mineral and agricultural
sources of the State and suggests modes whereby
such laborers may be attracted hither.
