Death of colonel Robert H. king.

There are many brave soldiers In
this State will learn with deep regret
of the death of the distinguished Of
fcer whose name heads this article.
Colonel KING commanded the Sd
Kentucky Cavalry, in which many
brave men from this State served. He
was a printer by trade and for some
time an attache as compositor and
foreman of the Commonwealth Office
at Frankfort, Kentucky.
At the outbreak of the rebellion
he enlisted in the Union army as first
Lieutenant in Company B, Sd Ken
lucky Cavalry, commanded by the
lamented Colonel jackson. He
rose gradually to the Office of Captain,
then Major; next, Lieutenant Colonel
and ultimately was brevetted as Colo
mel for gallant and meritorious service.
He was with Sherman on his march
to the Sea, commanding brigade
under Fitzpatrick, with whom he was
a great favorite.
He was buried at Frankfort on
Sunday, the 10th inst, with military
honors, being escorted to the grave
yard by an hundred of his old com
rades, and the Union soldiers held
a meeting, presided over by Hon.
JOHN M. HARLAN, at which were
passed highly eulogistic resolutions.
Many, very many brave soldiers will
lament the early demise of the warm
hearted and gallant Colonel KING.

The Old Shirt.

FROM communication IN the
Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth, we
conclude that the old spirit of intoler-
ance, which many thought had been
forever destroyed in the South by the
war, has been resurrected and in.
spired with new life.
The loyal citizens of Shelbyville.
Kentucky, having determined to rat
ify the nomination of Col. Boiling
by the Both May Convention, as a can
didate for Clerk Of the Court of APP
peals, fixed upon Monday the 18th
inst, as the time for holding the
meeting, and invited General JOHN NJ.
HARLAN to make the speech. At 2
o'clock large crowd assembled at the
Court House in Shelbyville, and Gen.
HARLAN began his speech. Frequent
attempts were made by the rebel
element present to get up a fuss, in
which a good deal of bullying, vulgar
ity and inebriety were exhibited. At
last, as, the speaker was about, finish
ing his remarks, the Court House bell
was rung violently, and the Confeder-
1ates4ah of whom were DUvALE men
and Evansville Courier Democrats
came crowding into the Court Room,
shouting at the top of their voices for
+" CALDWELL" Judge CALpWHLL!' -
The Judge, much excited, responded
to the call, and talked about THAD.
STEVENS, and the Freedman's Bu-
reau, amid loud huzzas for John G.
BREcKINRIDGE, and a perfect uproar
at the remark that LINCOLN was
dead and in hell The Judge talked
for over an hour.
Gen. HARLAN then proceeded to
reply to the Judge, and succeeded in
making the place so warm for his OPP
ponents that frequent applications of
stimulants seemed to them necessary
to keep up their spirits. The Judge
made another effort - after Mr..
HARLAN was through, and the row
dies held the Court House when the
correspondent of the Commonwealth
left the room.
Thislis the out-cropping of the old
spirit by which free discussion was
suppressed in the South before the
war. We do not think it will sue
coed now as it did then. We be-
lieye it will defeat any party that re-
sorts to it. We have greater hopes of
Mr.. BoLLING's election, now that his
opponents have adopted the tactics of
the rowdy and rufian, than we have
heretofore entertained. All that is re-
CURED is, that the Union men and |
loyal Democrats present bold and |
courageous front to these rowdies. |
and they viii soon prove their title to
the term by manifestations of back
ing down. Generally speaking, the

r. THE Government printing at Wash
ington has been awarded, under the
recent law of Congress-, to the Star.
and the Chronicle, these papers hav-
ing the largest circulation. The daily
circulation of the latter is 5,466, being
a great deal larger than the Lnte1h..

of the President. The bitterness of
these papers against Congress is in
tensifed since the enactment of the
above law-which is likely to kill both
of them-the Republican first.

AT a recent meeting of the publ
cation committee of the Union League
of Philadelhia, undoubtedly the most
effective political organization in this
or any other country, a resolution was
adopted that one hundred and fifteen
thousand copies of the Reconstruct
ton Report should be printed for cir
culation among the Counties outside
of the limits of the city. When it is
considered that this large brother
hood, extending now to nearly two
thousand MISUNDERSTANDING the
ablest and most influential citizens
has not taken much part in the con
test between Congress and the Presi-
dent, the action referred to is signifi-
cant of its determination henceforth
to cooperate heartily in favor of the
plan of the Joint Committee.

make the paper worthy 81 his support
and confidence. We, call the atten-
ton of our Union friends in different
parts of the District to our prospectus
in another place. Now is the time to
extend the circulation of sound Union
papers. A little effort on the part of
some good Union man in each neigh
borhood, would materially increase
the circulation of the JOURNAL and
enlarge its usefulness to the party for
whose principles it has battled, and is
still contendings- Friends, 60 to work

umns of the JoURNAL-that they may

HoIsTED BY HIS OWN PETARD.s -
The Herald of yesterday says the
Republican party was a disunion
party because it nominated Fremont
and Daytonin 1856, and Lincoln and
Hamlin in 1860 all men from the
North. Suppose we admit the conclu-
sion, and apply it. to the Democratic
party? 1t nominated Mcclellan and
Pendleton in. 1864, and is therefore a
disanion party, both of their candi-
dates being from-the North. AT the
same time the Republican party took
itswcandidates from the North and
South. By his reasoning the editor
of the Herald has demonstrated the
soundness of the Republicans, and
the rottenness of his own party.zM
