regular army transmitted his resignation, to be tendered in case his State seceded, and was not cashiered therefor, as he should have been promptly and finally. All over the South, men said, This Secession is madness — it will ruin all concerned — I have resisted it to the best of my ability — but my State has seceded nevertheless, and I must go with my State. But, on the other hand, Sterling Price, Humphrey Marshall, James B. Clay, Richard Hawes, Simon B. Buckner, William Preston, Charles S. Morehead, and scores like them — in good part old Whigs, who could not help knowing better — never seemed to imagine that the refusal of their respective States to secede laid them under the smallest obligation to restrain their traitorous propensities.

Morehead, formerly a Whig representative in Congress from the Lexington district, afterward American Governor of the State from 1855 to 1859, was originally a Unionist of the Henry Clay school; but, having become largely interested in slaves and cotton-growing in Mississippi, was now and evermore a devotee of the Slave Power-hence a Disunionist. He bore an active and baleful part in the Peace Conference of February, 1861; and was thenceforth, though professing moderation, fully in the counsels of the Secessionists. a most inveterate traitor, was arrested at his residence near Louisville, and taken thence to Fort Lafayette, in New York harbor, wherein he was long confined, and whence he should not have been released.

Their very forbearance from the commission of overt acts exasperated the Union leaders, who wished a pretext for extreme measures.

Union and American communicates some interesting items to that paper, under date of "Bowling Green, Oct. 22," extracts from wheir way to Nolin. They are represented as being miserably equipped, over one half of them riding bare-back. Charles Briggs, Esq., law partner of ex-Governor Charles S. Morehead, arrived here to-day from Louisville, via Cloverfort. He represents that petitions were being circulated and numerously signed in Louisville by the Union men for the release of Gov. Morehead and R. H. Durrett, Esq., formerly of the Louisville Courier. The petitions were being signed by all to whom they were presented, and it is more than probable that both gentlemen will be released. Hon. T. C. Hindman, ex-member of Congress from Arkansas, arrived here to-day from Richmon
