LETTERS FROM KENTUCKY.
HoPk1Nsv1LLE, KY, July s, ls6


HoPKINsvILLE, KY, July 5, 1865
Editors Journal:
ON the 9th of this month the Union
men of this county held rOusing
meeting, despite the intense heat. l
believe we all agreed that it was the
best one we have had for number
of years. But as you will no doubt
be furnished with full report of its
proceedings by the Secretary, | will
leave you and your readers to learn
from them its spirit. 1t has been so
long since we have attempted to have
such meeting here, and the rebels
have had such a monopoly of them,
that il rather insulted these hypo-
critical advocates of free speech for
US to assert a right to it.
But after they had put forward one
or two drunken members of their party
to interrupt the speakers, and saw
one ofthem carried off by the police
and the manifestation of a very de-
cided disposition on the part of meet
ing to enforce good behavior. they
Quoted down, and many of them
Der of ex-soldiers present, all en-
thusiastic for Grant and Colfax,
and not having been at all fearful Of
rebels on the field, were disposed
to establish a school of manners for
them IN our Convention.
Everything and everybody is on the
on uiVs to hear from the New York
Conglomerate Convention. The rebels
being impatient to know whether they
are to be for negro suffrage or against
it, for 6 gTeenbacks or against them,
and the Republicans being curious to
know who it is that is to be beaten
by our tieketiu November. We know
that whether the said Convention
dominates a Republican or a Demo
cratic platform, or a Democratic or a
Republican platform, it will all be
equally Double faced and delusive.
and we know that it remains with tire
great Republican party to elect to the
Presidency q man whose principles
and whose record have been carved
on the imperishable tablet of bril-
liant fame by a victorious sword, and
whose good sense, devotion to the
right and executive ability give US
the surest guarantee of a permanent
good government.
Next in Importance as topic of
conversation, much the most import
ant with many, has been the dry
weather, which, hereaboats, lasted
during the entire month of June,
greatly impairing hopes of a thrifty,
fine tobacco crop.
Corn was damaged good deal by
it, but the rains we have had yester-
day and to-day viii doubtless bring
that out very materially.
The railroad is about defunct here,
as far as progress is concerned, and
hence furnishes nothing to write
about. EDELEwEIS.

of the history of the United States and
then gives an interesting account of the
more important events in the history Of
France, England, Spain and other coun-

made to introduce this volume into gene

Southern work; impartial and unbiased,
it is infinitely preferable to the prejudiced
Northern publications which have been
heretofore used. In fact the school his

been used in our public schools, from our
earliest recollection, appear to us to have
been written withAan eye single to the
