Of Colonel J Ohm w. fF1NNELL,a who
has been one of the leading men Of
the Conservative Union party of
Kentucky. attended the meeting of
the National Union Convention r of
the Sixth Kentucky District: and cor
daily gave in his adhesion to the
movement. 1t is indicative of the
action Of the great mass Of The really.
loyal men Of the Conservative party,
who prefer association with loyal men
than with rebels. We quote from his
speech, as follows:
This is no time for division There
are two parties, and in the nature of
things there can be only two in this
country now-one the party for the
the Union, the Republican party, and
the other the representative of the
rebel party. [ am opposed to negro

firmly confident of the ultimate tri-
umph Of his country. 100
These characteristics Of rebels in
our State have superinduced the be-
lief among large class of our cltl-
zens known as Conservatives, that
the rebels were largely in the MAORI
ty, and that their $ bread and butter Z
depended, not on A. Johnson, but on
their smiles Hence the repeal of
our rebel expatriation law, by which
traitors were restored to the elective
franchise without even the condition
precedent of pardon. Ingratitude
and treachery, of course, are the
leading and most prominent charac-
teristics Of the traitor, and these were
most plainly manifested, for, no soon
er had they finished their use of the
Conservatives, than they betrayed
them, and, splitting upon them in the
most notifying manner, kicked-them
ignominiously out of all their conven-
tions.e 5syom of 4 aosliW cd
do It so happened that the large ma
jority of our speaking and aspiring
men, having fallen into this error, had
gone off after this strange God, and
had been toying and dallying with
this Moabitish woman, " Conserva-
tism,"" by whom they had been lured
into the camp of treason, to be elected
as aforesaid. aa91 9d4 81
The consequence was that the
truly loyal portion of the people had
no organization, and no prominent
State leaders to whom they could look;
but the sublime principle of patriot
ism will find exponents, and the
leaven, having been quietly and sure
ly at work, produced the grand and
glorious convention Of loyal Union
men, held at Frankfort, KY, on, the
18th ult., at which delegates from
eighty-nine counties of the State met,
and declared that they would hold no
illicit communion with traitors; that
they we're radically opposed to treason,
and rebellion ;and putting themselves
in harmony with the great Union
party Of the, country, boldly declared
that treason was a crime, and nom
mated splendid ticket on that plat
form Our people here, who areloyal,o
endorse that Convention, and will
give 900 votes for Its nominees II y
They are also highly pleased with
the nomination of the vigorous
and talented Col. B. R, Weir, SRI as
our standard bearer in the election Of
a Congressman in this district. His
is John Y oung Brown, who,
early in the war privately and publicly

iBNTLEMEN's FALL FASHIONS.

BUSINESS and morning coats will still be worn
sbort, and the variety with short tails will pre-
vail Walking coats will close high on the
chest. @ the collar will be small and be cut away
in front with square broad shoulders. The
doube breasted reeing jacket still continues a
tsvorite for the street. Cheviot suits, of the
same material, are much liked, and will be
mncb Ia worn this fall. Diagonals faced with silk
v;I be prevailing material for coats. These
,v;l he double breasted Broadcoth will not
he used except tortul dress coats. Dress coats
FAR evening will be the English variety OF sew
oral coIors, such as dahlias, anelines, London
smokes. blues and blacks. Sleeves will be OF
medium size. "
The style OF overcoats vii be completely
changed Surtouts or frock-tops, will be the
stvle. These will not be so long as formerly,
hut merely reach to the knees or just above
them; being merely long enough to conceal
the under garment. Yet the sack overcoat is
sncb fayorite for comfort that it will not be
wholly discarded; but instead OF being double
breasted as heretofore, it will be single with a
ay. Overcoats OF all descriptions will be made
mostly of beaver and other rough materials.
Full dress vests will be low in the roll, OF
black silk, and have but three buttons. HE
tendency of all vests is to button lower than
heretofore.
Pantaloons are to be worn as tight as posi-
BILE, and the popularity this Autumn is very
broad broken stripe one and a half and two
inches wide. The styles will be diagonal
weaves, checks and plaids. The prevailing
color is green and, indeed, some shades OF
this color is favorite for coats also.
Dress shirt bosoms will not be plated, but
have the centre very highly embroidered. The
button holes are made entirely for the new eye,
let studs. Common bosoms will have the
plaits Of all widths to suit the purchaser.
Garrote collars will have the fronts turned
down. The Shakspeares will not not be, SC
deep as heretofore. In searfs, very high colors
and probably stripes will prevail. The scarfs
will be confined with tunnel shaped ring o
copper ralloyed gold-the so-ealled red gold
Pins will not be worn. Dress neckties will be
wholly of black. Cuffs will be as heretofore,
no turnbacks.
Silk hats have low crowns, broad brims, and
are very we'll shaped. The styles of soft hats
are as yet undermined,
The prevailing style of high shoes, will be
double soled, box and tipped, buttoned OF
laced CATERS. Limitation bu1toned with con-
gress sides are also worn. These aud boots are
not so pointed as heretofore.
