Gone to- Frankfort.

A fine-looking quartette leave this
morning on the Ellen N. for the lit.
tie city surrounded by mountains and
almost hid from sunlight. Messrs.
Fred Schapperle, John Altolter, John
Flach and DR.. G. E. Mooney, visit
Frankfort on the Kentucky river for
the express purpose of buying the
village and bringing the Capital to
Lexington. Brother Lewis will look
kindly upon the emissaries and not
get jealous. They will visit the Peni-
tentiary, the cemetery and the arse
nal; if they get hungry stuff their
craws to repletion.-LeringtOn Tran
script, Of Thursday.
Any party that DR.. Mooney chaper-
ones is always welcome to Frankfort,
and had they shown up at headquar-
ters would have taken pleasure in
looking after their wants. AS they
failed to take away the Capitol, the
river or any of our other possessions,
we presume they were not properly
equipped. Perhaps you had better
fit out another expedition, Major.
