The Position OF kESrUCKY-In the Ken
tucky Legislature on the Goth, Mr.. Fisk offered
the following preamble and resolution, which
were referred to the Committee on Federal
Relations;


What Kentucky was willing to do for the
preservation of the Union. the rigts of the
States and of the people of the States, she said
on former occasion. What her sons have done
in the face Of the foe. is known to the world.
What her brave soldiers will do for the same
purpose. time will determine. To her former
declaration she now adds this


Resolred, By the General assembly of the
Commonwealth Of Kentucky, That Kentucky
will not inaugurate or accept emancipation,
compensated or otherwise. She will neither
ask her sister Slave States to submit to such a
policy, nor aid in forcing it upon them"


Mr.. Chambers did not think the rebellion
could be conquered by the present policy of the
Government, and did not believe that it ought
to be, as it would result in the overthrow of
the Constitution.

Where is the heart that knows no grief,
The eye that never weeps?
The soul that never seeks relief


When sorrow DER it sweeps.
Where is the stubborn will that bows,
At times by grief o ercome,
And wishes, oh how earnestly,


For better days to Gomez
Where is the rose without the thorn?
Where pleasure without pains
Where is pure joy without alloyP


We ask, but ask in vain.
Here sorrow is our common lot,


By all it must be borne;
Each heart must bear of grief its share,
For f" man was made to mourn.
But still alternate joys will come,


LIES lone path to cheer,
As bursts the sun through clouds at noon
With holy radiance clear.
A brighter day ere long will dawn;


Our country blessed shall be,
Der sea and land our flag shall stand
The emblem Of the FREE.

Then hail the true Red White and Blue,
The flag of the Constellation;
1t sails as it sailed by our forefathers hailed,
Der battles that made US a nation.
What hand so bold as strike from its fold,
One star or one stripe from its brightnng?
For him be those stars each fiery Mars,
And each stripe terrible lightning.
Then hail the Red, White and Blue
It's meteor form shall ride the storm,


Till the fercest of foes shall surrender;
The storm gone by, it shall gild the sky,
A rainbow of peace and ofsplendor.
Then hail the true Red, White and Blue,
Peace TO the world is our motto unfurled,
Though we shun not the field that is CORY,
AT home or abroad fear none but our God;
We will carve our own pathway to glory.
Then hail the true Red, White and Blue, &c.

and the outworks Of the rebel fortidca-
lions; and if we had gained these. we
should only have crossed the fiery thresL-
hold Of the dreadful hell that was beyond
them. As it was, we had to withdraw,
without result, without gain, and also
without much loss, which is great con
ISOLATION.


We have learned, however, from this re-
connolssance, that our iron-clads are not
invulnerable, and our old faith in their
being able able to perform seeming impos-
sibilities, has to undergo, therefore, alarge
discount. We have also learned
what ought to have been known
long before the attack-that Charleston
cannot be taken by naval force alone.
There were 5000 soldiers in the defense
Of that city and its works; we had but
eleven hundred in all, to oppose to them
by watcr-and not man on shore. The
reliance which The people had placed upon
Hunters land forces, was altogether mis-
placed. This General could only havc
spared, at the most, 1000 men; but not !
soul out Of the lot eyer reached Charleston
on this occasion.


Apart from the hatred which every loyal
man feels for Charleston, and the general
desire to see it crushed out and blotted
from the map, no great good would hare
come to us from its fall. The people have
only to regret, therefore, the failure Of a
cherished project, and not to mourn over a
national defeat.

story ol FaM. a week or SO ago, tneft
was a heavy fall of snow There was nc
dry wood in the vicinity that could be
obtained by cur troops. The only chance
for getting it was from some green oak
trees at hand. A neighbor lived hard
by, and his fence was built near our
camp. Our orders were not to get rails
from the fence, and the boys say that
they did not. Some Of the rails have
been taken. The owner Of these was
one Parkman, whose loyalty do not
call in question, but it does seem to me
that if he was good Union man, he
would be willing 10 sacrifice few rails
for the benefit of the preservers of his
property and his liberties. The order
day, is for our men TO take their axes
torNvith, and rebuild that fence. The
order was received with evident dissais-
faction by all the officers and men. Col
Gilbert was sorry that such an order was
issued, and would have given hundreds
Of dollars TO have saved his men the dis
grace of building that fence. Our regi
ment is 10 day rebuilding the fence, but
in manner more satisfactory TO them
selves.


Now is this the part Of wise men en-
gagged in great and arduous struggle
for liberty Did the pauiots who now
fill our armies imagine that they were to
wear their lives away on southern soil
for such a purpose as this? Verify they
did not, The fact in the case is simply
this. There are too many, vastly too
many, traitorlike treason sympathizng
devils, among our leaders. A Murphy,
at Holly Springs, could sleep rerosedly
under the shadow of his cotton bales,
though warned of his danger, until his
little force was surprised aud taken
prisoners. If this policy is TO be pur-
sued, the indignant frowns Of the Al
mighty will be upon us and the govern
ment our fathers framed mid blood and
tears will be overthrown. If we are to
fight, do not steal away our most effective
weapons, and place before us as an ex.
ample, a man whom the future will spurn
as lasting, burning disgrace to the
American people and TO the nineteenth
century. The historian, his pen dipped
in the blood of innocence, will write in
startling characters on his blacklist page,
the events Of this conpulsing struggle le, to
the everlasting shame and condemnation
of The coward and traitor, and with a pen
unstained by innocent blood, he will
chronicle on his brightest page in glow
ing characters the noble deeds Of the true,
who shall eventually receive the plaudits
of the great and good FOR all time TO
come.

For peace and rest.

Oh It's harder still when you dare otrest!
