had approved it.
Almost simultaneously with General

seizure Of the place by the Confeder-

were only sixteen miles distant, but
turned back when informed that Pa

Federals. Grant issued the following

TNHE invasion of Kentucky by the
Confederates on Sept. 4, 1861,
drove that state into armed
support of the Union. Up to
that time she had been neutral, refus-
ing to furnish her quota of troops to
the Federal government, but at the
same time opposing the secession of
the cotton states. While many Of her
citizens enlisted in both armies. she
would not permit troops of either side
to set foot on her SOIL This proved in
the end an illogical and impossible pO-
sition. In the life and death struggle
that was going on in the nation there
could be no neutrals. Every state was
compelled to take sides, and this was
especially true of Kentucky, situated

the privateer JEFF Davis was report

The city Of Washington was alarmed

Nathaniel Lyon was laid at rest at

as she was on the border or the two
contending sections. Both the Wash
iugton and Richmond governments
perhaps counted on this and were only
waiting TO see on which side Of the
fence Kentucky would climb down.
AS to this there could be little doubt,
since the voters Of the state had al
ready indicated that they were with
the Union. In the June elections the
candidates of that side had been elect
ed by overwhelming majorities. Yet
while maintaining her loyalty to the
constitution Kentucky had believed to
the end in peace and compromise, and
it was doubtless because of this senti-
ment that she attempted to be neutral
In the struggle.
Henry Clay had been dead nine
years, yet his spirit was very much
alive in Kentucky, whose present atti-
tude seemed to echo his lifelong prin-
ciples of loyalty to the Union and of
attempted compromise between the
north and the south.
Hour For Compromise Past.
However admirable the attitude OF
Henry Clay in his own time, the hour
for compromise was now past. The
only way to reach peace was by a war
that would eradicate the root of the
trouble AS it turned out, the north
won few victories until after the is
suance of the emancipation proclama-
ton. In the crisis Of 4 man or 4
nation halfway measures do not an
swer. In the nature Of things there
can be no permanent compromise ia
matters Of principle.
The foremost advocate Of neutrality
in Kentucky was Governor Beriah
Magodin. who had refused Lincon's
call for troops and had been constant

STARR TO STUDENTS.
Gives High School Pupils Some Good
Advice.

Superintendent of Schools c. c. Starr
spoke to the students of the high
school Wednesday at assembly. Mr..
Starr said: I trust you realize the
great educational advantages you
have, and are taking advantage of
them. If you will take advantage of
them great opportunities await you
out in the world. In fact any one
who does not take advantage of them
is a very foolish person indeed.
The ambition to go to college or
to a university is very good, but
sometimes it is only the thought of
the college life that appeals to you, and
not the thought that it is the train
ing for life you are receiving. The
high school is the training you are re-
ceiving for your life, and you should
train for it as if you were training for
some athletic contest.
1T is the person who takes the
hardest studies in high school who is
going to succeed in the world because
he is trained for it, trained to take
the hard knocks and make a success.
You should also get on a friendly
footing with your teachers as they are
always ready to help or give advice
TO you at all times
