A Joan D'Arc.--A marauding band of rebels in Kentucky, on their way to Mount Sterling, stopped at the house of a Mr. Oldom, and, he being absent at the time, plundered him of all his horses, and among them a valuable one belonging to his daughter Cornelia. She resisted the outrage as long as she could, but finding all her efforts in vain, she sprang upon another horse and started post haste toward the town to give the alarm. Her first animal gave out, when she seized another, and meeting the messenger from Middleton, she sent him as fast as his horse could carry him to convey the necessary warning to Mount Sterling, where he arrived most opportunely. Miss Oldom then retraced her way toward home, taking with her a double-barrelled shot-gun. She found a pair of saddle-bags on the road, belonging to a rebel officer, which contained a pair of revolvers, and soon she came up with the advancing marauders, and ordered them to halt. Perceiving that one of the thieves rode her horse, she

hese quiet people, has been the hot-bed of Abolitionism. In the settlement of this country, two great streams of civilization poured out. One had its head at James-town, and one at Plymouth Rock. The canting, witch-hanging, nasal-twanging, money-worshipping, curiosity-loving, meddling, fanatical, ism --breeding followers of Cromwell, spread over the greater part of the North and West. Jamestown stock chiefly peopled the South, and small sections of the North-west Territory, which, with Kentucky, belonged to Virginia. It was the descendants of the genuine Yankee which met us at Manassas and before Richmond and fled from the Valley of the Shenandoah before Jackson. It was in part the descendants of the Jamestown stock, crossed with the Yankee, which met us at Donelson and Shiloh, and who are our stoutest foes. Any one who will look into this bit of history will see that it is true. Extreme religious bigotry indulged for more than two centuries, and constant intermarriage have

those who admire and hurrah for Jeff Davis, we publish the following bit of family history taken from the Nashville Union: A trifling little rebel paper in Kentucky professes to doubt the truth of our statement respecting the origin of Jeff Davis. What we stated is well known to hundreds of our best citizens of Christian and Todd Counties of Kentucky. Jeff Davis's father lived for a number of years in a log cabin situated in what is now the town of Fairview, twelve miles from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The house is now weather-boarded, and used as a tavern. Old Davis was a man of bad character, a horse-trader, a swindler, and of very low habits. A istant from his father's house, and taken home by him when several years of age. These are notorious facts. Some of Davis's relatives still live in that part of Kentucky. We would not have alluded to this sinister bar on Jeffs escutcheon were not his friends continually prating about Southern gentility and the low breeding of th

mith's right arm! Stand like the noble oak-tree, when 'tis eaten By the Saperda and his ravenous swarm! For many smiths will strike the ringing blows, Ere the red drama now enacting close; And human insects, gnawing at thy fame, Conspire to bring thy honored head to shame. Stand like the firmament, upholden By an invisible but Almighty hand! He whomsoever justice doth embolden, Unshaken, unseduced, unawed shall stand. Invisible support is mightier far, With noble aims, than walls of granite are; And simple consciousness of justice gives Strength to a purpose while that purpose lives. Stand like the rock that looks defiant Far o'er the surging seas that lash its form! Composed, determined, watchful, self-reliant, Be master of thyself, and rule the storm! And thou shalt soon behold the bow of peace Span the broad heavens, and the wild tumult cease; And see the billows, with the clouds that meet, Subdued and calm, come crouching to thy feet. W. D. Gallagher. Kentucky, December, 1862.

hat bears the varied record Of every man's experience, this is found; That great accomplishments or sure successes, Never yet have crowned Him who has faltered in his own convictions; By varying and opposing counsels tossed; Until, 'mid multitudinous convictions Truth and right were lost. But cool, calm, cautious, and determined action, When comes the passing hour that's big with fate, Fixes its impress on the individual, Exalts, expands, and magnifies the state. From out the dusk of far receding centuries, One clear, prophetic voice of warning calls-- 'Tis this: that in the hour of trust and trial, He who falters falls! Oh! hearken to it, thou to-day, who oldest In thy hand a nation's wavering fate; And be thou truest of the true, and boldest Of the bold! We wait-- We wait, thy people, patient but expectant; And the far nations, tip-toe, stand agape, Whilst thou dost solve the problem of the present, And giv'st the future certainty and shape! W. D. G. Kentucky, December 27, 1862.
