The Trial ot Ishnm Henderson.
Nashville, May 1. The trial of Isbam Hen
derBon was resumed to-day.
Colonel Irvin testified that Hcudorson, on the
13th of May, 1SC4, made a proposition to the
witness to lurnbh the Government with about
30(10 mules, which the witness rejected, chiefly
because it required him to give the accused the
control of the market. On June 1, 18C4, he
receU ed a letter from Henderson proposing to
furnish 1000 mules, whleh was returned to the
accused with an endorsement
Tho counsel for the defendant stated that if
such a letter was ever written it was to shov
that tke mules In question were not, intended
tor the Rebels or any other impro.wr purpose.
The wituess stated that Henderson furnished
178 ttul.'s in July, 18C4; that stampedes were ol
frequent occurrence, and the loss to the Govern
ment, mm veri w.natrlorahla In

Kentucky Deniociatic State Convention
I'roceedings Yesteiday Racy llesoln
tions. Loci&TiLLE, May 1. A verv larce convention
of the Democracy of the State assembled at the
Court House to day. Most of tho counties of
the Btato were represented.
Ex-Governor WicklvUe was elected rtemDorarv
chairman.
Resolutions were adopted, dcclarim? warm
attachment to the Union of the States under the
Constitution; that the Federal Government is
one of limited and restricted powers, and the
exercise ot any power by the Federal Govern
ment not defeated to it, is a usurpation to de
prive the liberties ot the people; tuat Congress
has no right to deprive any State of representa
tion in Coi-gress; that the Federal Government
UB3 11U1IHUI lu am ni);t3 mu iiceuuill OI HpeOCU
or of tne press, and their suppression is
destructive of every principle of constitu
tional liberty; that the Federal Government has
no right to try civilians bv military commission
and drum-hcud court martials; that the ques
tion of suiirace belongs exclusively to the
several Ptate3; (hat we recognize tho abolition
ol slavery as an accomplished fact, but earn
estly assert that Kentucky has the light to regu
late the political status of the negroes within
uer itrmuij ; mat i ne rural or naoeas corpus is
lully restored as soon as the war is ended. The
resoluiions require the Government to practise
rieid econon.y and prosecute those who hive beeu
guilty of Iraud, corruption, and embezzlement;
they declare that large stauding armies are not
to be toleiated in times ot peace, and that tasit
t on cliould be made equal and uuitorm, and
that the Goverunient securities should not be
exempt lrom taxation; that tho thanks of tho
country are due to tho President lor his vetoca
ol Ihe Fteediiuu's Buieau and Civil Rights bills;
that our Seuutors and a majority of our Repre
sentatives in Couares have acted satisfactorily
to the people, and merit our thanks.
In c nclusion, we declare to tho people of tho
whole Union tbatwe have met not to loment
discord, but to he:tl dissensions and to endeavor
to the utmost of our power to bring back our
Government to its ancit ut purity, and to try to
make it such as it was lu tho days of Washing
ton, Jeiiersou, and Jackson. We wish to main
tain and save both the Constitution anl tlie
Union as they came to us from tho hands of our
patriot fathers to preserve tlie rights
and liberties of our citizens to main
tain ail the safeguards of the ' Constitu
tion intact and inviola'tp, and to rescue the
Government from the vandal grasp of that radi
cul Congress whose Eoverninsr principle of action
is ' rule or ruin." The Democratic party is not
scctionul, but Is co-extensive with the Uui m
itself, and its ruifsion is not to debtroy but to re
siore concord and fraternity, and to resist all
encroachments, lrom whatever quurter they
may come, upon tho Constitution and the liber
ties of the people. This Is the ercut work w
propose. To accompli.sh these noble and
patriotic purposes wo invite the co-operatiiu
of every putnot th roup hout o'ur vast domain.

THE BOMBARDMENT.
Saturday morning seemed the most beautilul of the
gaon. A aolt autumnal haze, richly tine by the
gun. bung over the bay whoso w iters lay smooth a,
a mirror, reliectin? the outlines of every vossol.
Ibomauds ot people covered the hi, Is ike an army,
and tbe city, in its stillness at pcared as if a p:aue
had suddenly swept off its inhabitants.
PREPARING) FOR ACTIOS.
At seven o'clock, black columns of smoke rising;
li.einvertod monuments lrom the Hpanisu !nates
indicated tbeir preparations lor aotion, and goon

close iu a ong the front of the city, assemOed around
the flat ship Vanderbilt, and lobowing her out,

By this time the Spaniards had oommenced moving.

the oiders of the admiral. AU the Spanish 11471
were at half-most, the observances of tae Viernm
acnto not concluding uutu U o'clock.
THB PIONAL GUNS.
At 8 o'clock tbe Chilian flaar went nn on the atari
at ihe foriross, and almost at, tho same instant two
gups flashed tne warnm" 01 lombardmeut from
the black tides ol the Numancia. Another hour
n maineu teioie tbe flriug was eommouced, and I
again rambled through the busiu. ss portion ot the
ory. foreign Bags wore displayed ovot tho con
sulates, and white signals hung out l.om the towers
ot tbe churches and hospitals, aentiuels were
