KENTUCKY CONSERVATISM,
- The Union forces have saved the State of
Kentucky from the devastation that has swept
over Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and other
States that have long heen occupied by rebel
armies. A large portion of the citizens of
Kentucky appreciate this] and they are uncon
ditionally loyal to the National Government,
and unreservedly in favor of supporting all its
measures for carrying on the war against the
rebels. But there is a [strong party, chiefly
made up of former Democrats, which calls
itself conservative, whose special object seems
to be to conserve slavery. The Louisville
Journal is its organ, and Governor Bramlette
is its leader. The latter functionary has
neglected no opportunity of impeding the
United States authorities in their endeavors to
raise negro troops in Kentucky, and the chief
reason is that it will have the effect to endanger
the institution of slavery.
"When Mrs. Partington undertook to mop np
the rising tide, she was doing as wise and prac
ticable a thing as are these Kentucky conserva
tives who are trying to stay the extinction of
slavery. Governor Bramlette issues a protest
in which the Federal Government is grossly
abused, and yet in which loyalty is avowed, the
anomalous document being intended to excite
and irritate the popular mind. But we do not
believe that it will have any great effect. Or if
it does stir np the tolerably good Union
men—who are really intolerably had ones—wo
believe that it will arouse the really good Un
conditional Union men to greater devotion and
more active zeal in Behalf of the Government.
The Governor is said to have threatened to stop
toe enrolment of slaves, and he has invited to
ran ort t e Rev. Dr. Breckinridge, of Louis
vßle, to consult with him on the subject. But
that eminent divine, true patriot and influential
citizen has rgplied that he does not approve of
the course oi the Governor, and that if he is
expected to sustain it, there is no use of his
going. Dr. Breckinridge is unconditionally in
favor of the Union, and there is a strong party
of patriots that agree with him. They are
preparing to hold a State Convention and to
organize thoroughly for future political opera
tions. At this we rejoice. Let the able men
among the patriotic citizens once get together
and they will bring out the unconditional Union
sentiment in full force. Let the issue be once
fairly made upon the question whether it is
better to preserve the Union than to preserve
Slavery, and there will be a heavy majority in
favor of the Union. The conservatism that
would perpetuate slavery in Kentucky, would
also retard her progress in every element o*
civilization. There have been already, even in
States further South than Kentucky, proofs
that free labor is better and more valuable
than slave labor. In Kentucky there can be no
question .of this. Let her emancipate her
slaves, and she would go on to the fulfilment of
herhigh destiny as a great commonwealth
But let her cherish the detestable, demoraliz
ing and destructive institution, and she will be

outstripped by Arkansas and Louisiana, each
of. which has already organized a govern,cent
under which slavery is abohshed. Governor
Bramlette and bis friends cannot turnback the
tide of revolution which the slave-holders
themselves have raised, and which is destined
to wipe out slavery from every foot of the con
tinent. ' _ ’. .
LOYALTY, FALSE AND TRUE.
In another column will be found a copy of
some correspondence between General Butler
and a female school teacher in Virginia.' The
question discussed is the nature of true loyalty.
The lady professes to understand that if she
takes the oath of allegiance, it simply binds
her to passive submission to the acts of the
officers of the Government, while her sympa
thies would remain, as they now are, entirely
with the rebels. General Butler replies by
showing her that the taking of the oath carries
with it, an honest intention to « support, pro
tect and defend the Union,” just as the women
in rebeldom support the t: Confederate” Go
vernment by acting as spies, by nursing sick
soldiers, by smuggling supplies and informa
tion through the lines, and by getting up sub
scriptions for rebel gunboats.
At the celebration of the anniversary of the
battle of Pea Ridge, at St. Louis, General Mc-
Neill discussed the same subject. In speaking
of the attitude of certain residents of St.
Louis before and after- the battle, he describes
their loud talk against the Government pre“
vious to its occurrence, and then he goes on to
show what happened when it was ascertained
that the victory was with the Union troops
He says:
“Sbortly-after, I cam© to St. Louis, and I “no
ticed the effect here, on these very streets where
treason had .been rampant—where unsexed women
had preached it—and where, after all the manhood
of seces&ionism had gone into the field, emascu
lated treason had walked around here, and prated
itself forth before the world, {ch-ers,] and pro
claimed what the Southerners could do Bull
noticed, shortly alter the nevrs of this battle came,
that all these hounds retired with fleas in their
ears. [Laughter.] I mark some ol them now. I
see them outbidding 103’alty— making a bigger pa
rade of theiT loyalty than I would pretend to make,
or any other war-worn veteran, who has speat his
life lor three years in the service of the country,
will pretend to mak*. They fill the avenues of
power. They serve the Government as contract
ors. [Cheers. 1 They are to be found ev-rj where.
[Laughter ] They crowd the road t.i Washington,
and poison the ear ol the President against
the best friends of their country that live
in Missouri. [Cheers.] These are the men who
were at that day coerced by the battle of Pea
Ridge. It earned them to be Union men^—such
earnest Union men that they outbid you and me
to-day. [Laughter.] I can say nothing higher of
the success of that great battle, than it has caused
this concession of cowardly treason to the virtue
of patriotism. When virtue is feigned by vi .e, it
is the greatest tribute that vice can pay to virtue.
It is a like tribute when it is paid by treason to
patriotism. These people find patriotism, t paying
virtue. God send that some of them are sincere.
I have no disposition to say to the returned aud
repentant rebel that he is *not sincere, but I will
tell you all, gentlemen, I had rather believe that
man who drew his sword and carried his mus
ket on the other side, when he comes back I had
rather trust him than these emasculated traitors
who walked the streets of your city and prated
treason nntU It no longer paid . 5 *
There is plenty of such “loyalty” as that
discussed by General Butler, and possibly as
much as that which excites General McNeill's
disgust, in other States besides Virginia and
Missouri. Gradations of opinion may be noted
even in this city, which depend exclusively on
the hopes and fears of expectants of office and
seekers after government money. If one looks
in the dictionary for the derivation and mean
ing of the words loyalty and loyalist, he finds
that the latin root is lex, law, and that it means
“faithful and true” to law, to a sovereign, to a
lover, a husband or a wife. It is thus illus
trated:
“Stout and loyal anbjecfs. ’ ’
•‘Your true and loyal wife. ” Shakt'ptare'. .
“One faithful to his sovereign— particularly one
Wbo adheres to hie sovereign In times of rebellion
or revolution. ’ *— Btlshan.
“For his own love his loyalty he saved.”
Sptnser.
This matter would not be worth considering
so curiously or critically, weje it not that those
who “ split hairs” on the subject are always
the very people who wish to see how near tho
precipice of treason they can go without
toppling over. They draw nice distinctions
between the « Government” and the “Admin
tration,” even in time of war, as at present]
and ostentatiously publish the exact half ounce
of allegiance which, by minuto measurement,
they have ascertained that they owe. They
Bpin out their thread so fine that it equals tho
spider’s “ most attenuated web,” and is about
as potent as that would be in holding them
back from really disloyal words and acts.
APPALLING STATISTICS,
The New York editors in their anxiety to
prove the superior advantages of the metropo
lis for whose interests they cater, generally re
fer to the healthfulness of their community as
one of the inducements for strangers to remove
thither. The Sun is, however, not to be turned
from its independent course by mercenary
motives, and has published recently two or
three editorials, which are worthy of attention
to the dwellers in other cities,more particularly
because they show by accurate statistics, tho
risks which emigrants, who desire to mako their
home there, and even temporary sojourners,
incur while subjected to tho causes of disease
which exist in every highway and byway-
That the statistics lire true cannot bo denied,
based as they are upon the investigations of a
large number of eminent physicians, and that
they are appalling will not be contradicted, wo
presume, by the most bigoted journalist of
Gotham.
Referring to tlio mortality among children,
the Sun remarks:
“The City Government, acting like a corporate
Hesod, slaughters these innocents, to the number
or many thousand, annually. luthe United .States
at large, every baby that is born has a fair expec
tation of living to be thirty years old—that is,
averaging those that die younger and those that die
older. Every child born has a lair prospect of
seeing his thirtieth birth.day. *i his period is long
enough 1 to love, labor, and be happy in. ■ No child
born m New York can expect to live more ihan
fifteen i/ears, -because such lramenso numbers of
these little buds of life are nipped before reaching
the age of live years, that the average duration of
e nl BltJ L ce aEQ one them is reduced to Alteon; Every
years oW* 1 botn tlie cit y dies before it is five

every year in New York city.” t
ot c °ntent with his exposnro of the
•Slaughter °f the Innocents,” as he terms it>
he editor in another article thus refers to the
general mortality in New York:

of 1 Belmont, and other gentlemen
» ni™si .54 edged eharacer and induence. addressed
for in, .51 most eminent physicians, asking
loriDionnntlon upon the subject. Their reply es
mMibbtsthe alarming fact that the death rate is
steadily increasing in this city, while It is decreas
—vils.?lllCT Cities of the United States and Europ-,
which have fewer advantage l - of locality and cli
mate. The number of deaths in New York last
year amounted rotheet-ormons totalof 25,196, being
an average of one death to every thir’y-iive of the
population. -In Philadelphia and Newark, N. J;,
the average Is one to forty-three ol the inhabit inte,
and in Hartford, Ct., there is only one death out
ofewry fiftv.four ot tbe population. In
ilif oesab raiH, by the observance of proper sankaiy
regulations, basbeen reduced from one in twenty
to ore in forty five. In New York, in the absence
of these regulations, ilie death rate has increased
fro ' one iu forty-six* in 180, to one in thirty-five
in 18C3. Nor is this mortality the soleeyil. Expe
rt nee shows that there are twenty-eight cases of
>•'« fcnpgp tor every death. This would give two
hundred thousand cases of sickness in New York
during the last year.*’
Intelligence may soon be expected of very
active movements in Western Lousiana. Ad
miral Porter’s fleet of gunboats, and about
thirty transports, with troops on board, were
last reported at the mouth of Red River.
General Banks was to take the field on the 10th
inst., and it is supposed that operations would
then commence. It is presumed that the joint
naval and land force would' ascend the Red
River, and probably will make Alexandria
which is near the centre of "Westem Louisiana,
its base of operations. The combined force is
larger than that which went over that part of
the State last summer, and which had to be
diverted from its original purpose for the sake
of operating against Port Hudson. The Mis
sissippi beiDg now clear, Banks can devote
himself to the interior, and with a joint move--
ment of our forces in Arkansas, he may suc
ceed in driving all the rebel troops into Texas,
and pursuing them thither, with the aid of
Franklin in the Teche country, and Dana on
the Texas coast, he may arrive at decisive re
sults, and destroy or disperse all the rebel
forces west of the Mississippi.
Mb. Gottschalk’s Farewell Concert, at

here,.the sale of tickets having already-been
very large. Herr Habclmann’s assistance will

other artists engaged are also popular, and the
programme is so good, that those who attend
will he sure to have a delightful evening.
Rev. De. Chapin will deliver a lecture in
Concert Hall to-morrow evening on the sub
ject “Europe and America.” This is a new
lecture and we are confident that it will afford
as much pleasure as any ever delivered by its
eloquent author. Seats may he secured by
early application.

rjIHE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR
UNITED STATES SANITARY COMMISSION
Office of the Committee on Labor, Incomes
and Revenues, No. 118 South Seventh
Stbekt, Philadelphia* March 15, 1801.
Toe Comroiii.ee on “Labor, Incomes and Reve
nues,” invite co-operauon ■with them in the
particular work lor which tht»y have been ap
pointed As no portion of the people are more
pattiotic than the working men and women of
the country, i* is but just and proper that they
should alike have an opportum y to contribute
to the objects of the Fair. The most equable
plan lor accomplishing this, and, at the same
time the ea-irsi one, is to ask for the contri
bution of a lingU d'iy’ r labor from all classes m the
community. Many will coutrioute a day of their
labor willingly, who vould not subscribe-their
monev. To reach every department of indastry
and art will be a work of great labor, but, if at
tained, will be productive of immense results.
i he success of the plan will depend upon the
hearty co-operation ot every element of influence
within our limits, and we invite all the guardians
of the Industii. 1 interests, and all others, to take
hold with us in furthering this great work of pa
triotism and humanity.
The Committee is charged with the following
duty, to wit:
first —To obtain the contribution of “one day’s
labcr, ” or earnings, from every artisan and la
borer, foreman, operative and employe; president,
cashier, teller nud clerk of every incorporated and
uninconiorated company, railroad and express
company, employing firm, bank, manufactory,
iron works, oil works, mill, mine and public of
fice; frem every private banker and broker; im
porter, auctioneer and merchant; clerk, agent and
salesman; designer, finisher and artist; publisher,
printer and mechanic; from every Government
officer, contractor, and employe; grocer, butcher,
baker and dealer; farmer, horticulturist, and pro
ducer; from every mantua-maker, milliner and fe
male operative; every individual engaged in turn
ing the soil, tending the loom, or in any way earn
ing a livelihood, or building a fortune within the
buttes of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Dela
ware.
Second—To obtain the contribution of one day’s
“revenue” from all tae great employing establish
ments, firms, corporations, companies, railroads
ana works.
Tftmf—To obtain the contribution of one day’s
Income from every retired person and person of
fortune, male and female, living upon lli *-lt means,
and from all clergymen, lawyers, physicians,
dentists, editors, authors, and professors; and all
other persons engaged In the learned or other pro
fessions.
Much of this work must be perfouned by the
personal influence and efforts of ladies and gentle
men associated, of to be associated, with the Com
mittee in canying out the plan.
The Committee feel tne responsibility of the work
they have undertaken, which, to be successful,
will require a very perfect ramification of their
plan, and they therefore cali upon all earnest peo
ple to assemble themselves together in every town,
township and county and form organizations of
ladies and gentlemen to co-operate with them in
this great work and labor ot love. In the manu
laciuring conuties, the coal and oil regions, and in
the agricultural districts, especially, lit there be
organizations in the larger towns, so that the
yoQng people may have an opportunity thus to
render assistance to their relatives and friends
fighting the battles of their country in the armies of
the nation.
The work of this Committee, may be prosecuted
where no other effort can be made for the Fair, as iu
the mines of the coal regions. A nay’s earnings
of the miner*, and a day's product of the mines
can be obtained, where no portable article could be
procurea for transportation. Indeed, there is no
parlor section of these States where the day’s
labor may not be obtained, if organizations can” be
lormedto Teach them.
. The Committee cannot close without urging
upon all proprietors of establ.shment-* the duty of
taking prompt and energetic action to secure the
benefit of the day of labor irom all within their
cc ntrol.
The Committee dce*i it unnecessary to do more
th:iu thn* lo present the t-übjeoi to the people of the
thtee Suites l.amtd. In the oomiug campaigns of
