ons as a good citizen or member of society would condemn. In Kansas city, Judge Birch was unable to proceed with his canvass, his life being threatened by a mob. In Troy, Lincoln county, a McClellan meeting was fired into by some soldiers, no doubt set on by low demagogues more responsible than the soldiers; and among the peaceable, good citizens there assembled for a lawful purpose, and in the exercise of rights which no man should dispute, one individual was killed and two wounded. In Jefferson city, an attempt was made to break up a McClellan meeting by rowdies, who were incited by well-known demagogues, who plied their tools with whiskey. On that occasion, George Dingham, State Treasurer, and a most estimable man, was assailed, and by accident only escaped with his life. In Moniteau county, we are informed that two persons, who were prominent at a McClellan meeting, were murdered on their way home, after the meeting broke up. Probably these instances comprise but a portion of th

Grant telegraphs Stanton of the fact of his having fired a shotted salute in honor of the victory, and says: Turning what bid fair to be a disaster into a glorious victory, stamps Sheridan, what I have always thought him, one of the ablest of generals. From Missouri. The Herald gives the following as the situation in Missouri: A dispatch from Jefferson City, Missouri, says that General Curtis was fighting the rebel General Price's advance all yesterday on the Little Blue river, ten miles from Independence. General Curtis moved eastward some days ago, with a considerable body of troops from Kansas City, on the western border of the State, and it appears that he has now met and checked the advance of Price, who is said to have an army of thirty thousand. Curtis holds a good position, and is prepared for a regular engagement if Price will stand t

ted by her people, had forced him, and in which the war had left him.--Nor was there ever, among all the complacent self-delusions with which the fond ancients of national vanity are apt to intoxicate us, one more utterly fantastical than the notion wherewith the politicians of George III.'s school were wont to flatter themselves and beguile their followers, that simply because the Great American would not yield either to the bravadoes of the Republican envoy, or to the fierce democracy of Jefferson, he had, therefore, become weary of republics, and a friend to monarchy and to England. In truth, his devotion to liberty, and his intimate persuasion that it can only be enjoyed under the Republican scheme, constantly gained strength to the end of his truly glorious life; and his steady resolution to hold the balance even between contending extremes at home, as well as to repel any advance from abroad incompatible with perfect independence, was not more dictated by the natural justice of

Affairs in Kentucky. Louisville, December 9. --The Jefferson Circuit Court, in the case of the Commonwealth against Major-General Palmer for aiding a slave to escape, has dismissed the indictment on the ground that a requisite number of States had adopted the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery before the indictment, and therefore the criminal and penal acts of the Kentucky Legislature relating to slavery were of no effect. General Palmer has issued a proclamation declaring that slavery has ceased to exist in Kentucky; and advising colored people to apply promptly to the courts for redress, if public conveyances deny their right to travel at pleasure. A resolution was yesterday introduced into the Legislature endorsing the President's policy, favoring general amnesty and recommending the pardon of Mr. Davis.
