rsue. You were to use the forces of the State to drive from the soil of Kentucky any troops of Tennessee or of the Confederate States who might trespass thereon, and in the even of your inability to do so, you were to call upon Gen. McClellan for asto do so, you agreed to notify him, and invite him to dislodge said forces. He further said that the property of the United States in the State of Kentucky was to be protected by Kentucky. And in the event his Government should adopt a different c notice of it. Major General McClellan said that he had no doubt but that Kentucky, was and would remain loyal to the United States, and that since he had had command of the United States troops upon her border she had been repeatedly urged to put fllowing is the paper referred to: "It is my duty; as I conceive, to suppress an insurrection existing within the United States I wish to do this with the least possible disturbance or annoyance to well disposed people anywhere.

The comet and the earth in Contact. --We read that Professor Hind, the celebrated English astronomer, says that on the 30th of June, the earth, probably passed through the tail of the comet, at a distance of perhaps two thirds of its length from the nucleus. Two days previously, the head of the comet was in the ecliptic, distant from the earth's orbit only 13,800,000 miles, and the earth, according to his calculations, would encounter the tail on the day named. A peculiar illumination of the Northern sky on the evening of the 30th June, supposed to proceed from an Aurora glare was observed both in, England and the United States, and goes for, in the absence of scientific calculations to confirm this theory The result will be looked for with interest as betting at rest the vulgar fear of a collision between the earth and a comet, and proving that the latter is composed of gases far more ten ours than our atmosphere.
An advertisement in the Liverpool papers states that on the re-opening of the port of Charleston, three first class steam screw ships will be dispatched for that port taking freight and passengers for all the Southern and Western States. The Charleston Mercury, of September 12th, says that Senor Moneader, the Spanish Consul in that city, will, in a day or two, clear a vessel from that port as from the Confederate States. Mr. G. L. Barnard, of Bahalin, Marshall county, Miss., has tendered to the city of Memphis one thousand bushels of meal, provided the city shall furnish sacks and pay-for the hauling. Some fifteen or twenty negroes have been seduced from the service of their masters, along the Potomac river, in King George, by the Lincoln pirates who now infest those waters. Samuel C.

g columns from Washington, Fortress Monroe, and perhaps other points. Forewarned, we ought to be forearmed We must look the future squarely in the face if we would be fairly prepared for all contingencies The season is at hand, not six weeks distant, when the North, accustomed to a climate so rigorous that a Southern winter will afford them their best campaigning weather by land or sea, will make its greatest and we believe, if defeated, its final effort for the subjugation of the Confederate States. It is worse than idle to deny that its plan of operations is one which demands the utmost vigilance and energy in defence. It has at its commend the whole United States Navy, which it has in creased by the addition of the entire unemployed merchant marines. It has almost all the seamen of the old Union, and its merchant captains and other officers having always conducted the coasting trade of the South, are perfectly familiar with every accessible point on the Southern seaboard.

cters "Theodore Brown, Monticello, Wright co., Min.," and with sundry trivial and unimportant entries. One written with a pencil and feminine penmanship we copy: "The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy " There is nothing else so worthy of note about the book as to detain us longer from the letter, which is a curiosity in itself, apart from the bearing it may have upon the pending contest between the United States and the Confederate Government. The direction, upon the envelope is "Richard H. Chittenden Esq. Co. A., 71st N. Y. Reg't, Washington Nary-Yard, D. C." The portion of the letter sheet enclosed is ornamented with a sort of vignette, in which West Indian foliage, army standards, artillery, muskets, shot, shell, drums, &c., &c., are grouped together. Below this, in large letters. "Republique D'Haiti," and above, in smaller capitals, "Liberte," "Egailtte," all printed in red ink. The

first sight of the enemy." He carried them by a change of direction down the mountain striking a shallow stream at its bass, they followed its bed, leaping from rock to rock and sometimes wading through the water, for miles; them over a field and out into a road, and a wild cheer rung out their joy at the unexpected deliverance. Attended by a guard the guide went to a neighboring farm-house, and returned by nightfall with a wagon load of provisions.--His name is Parsons, and the Confederate States Government should bestow on him their first gold medal. "How much did you eat that night ?" I asked my narrator, a son of the late General Irwin, of South Carolina. "Why, nothing at all, scarcely; the fellows nibbled a little all through the night: but the next morning, after such a breakfast as would have killed a wolf, we stopped twice and cooked our haver sacks full of provision, and by nightfall there was not a crumb in them." One of the Lieutenants who shared the horrors of t
rom sickness, owing to the country air and the tried attention of the good people who have nursed them in the farm houses. All the regiments are filling up rapidly, and unless some epidemic breaks out like the measles, I see no reason to suppose there will be more sickness this winter than is usual where so many men are collected. It is a mistaken idea that our troops cannot stand the cold weather, for if they have proper tents and comfortable clothing, they can stand it as well-as the United States soldiers did the severe cold of Utah three winters ago. I learn that the 8th Louisiana Regiment which has been so long stationed near the depot to do picket and police duty, has received orders to choose another encampment. They will be relieved by a fresh regiment to-morrow, which will take the same old camping ground with its many nice improvements in the way of hospitals, outhouses, bakeries, etc. The cars come in loaded with freight every evening, bringing hundreds of boxe
