Most of the law-lords, as they are called, were sons of petty trades men. Lord Thnrlow, when Chancellor, was applied to by the Heralds’ College for particu lars of his family, that his arms might be “ ex emplified,” and his pedigree set forth. The ge nealogists made him descended from Secretary Thurloe, who was famous daring the Protecto rate. “ There wete two of my name,” said he, “in my own county of Suffolk: Thurloe, the secretary under Cromwell, and Thnrlow, the carrier. I am descended from the carrier.” Lord-Macclesfield, who, like Francis Bacon, was found guilty of venalty and extortion, as Chancellor, was Bon of an atteney; so was Lord Hardwicke. Sir William Blackstone, greater than a peer, as author of the << Com mentaries on the Laws of England,” was son of a silk-mercer in London. Lords Stowell and Elden were sons of a coal-fitter. Lords Ten derden and St. Leonards were sons of hair dressers. Lord Lyndhurst’s father was a paint er. Lord Gifford’s father was a grocer; and we might readily extend the list, had we Burke’s Peerage at hand- William Cavendish, who founded the peer age now enjoyed by the Duke of Devonshire, now one of the wealthiest nobles In England, was Srßt page and then gentleman-usher to Cardinal Wolsey, himself son of a butcher at Ipswich. The Duke of Leeds descends from Edward Osborne, who was a petty tradesman in London, of which he rose to be Lord Mayor. The late Lord Melbourne's wealthy ancestor, who founded the family, was a tradesman. The Mr. Smith who was made Baron Carring ton by Mr. Pitt, was son of Abel Smith, a country banker. Sir John Wrottesley, the Wolverhampton banker, was raised to the peerage, as Baron Wrottesley, in 1838. Mr. Samuel Jones-Lloyd, the Manchester banker, was created Baron Overstone, in 1850, by ad. vice of Sir Robert Peel, who bad previously converted Mr. Alexander Baring into Baron Ashburton, and one oi the newest of the Vic toria peerages is the Baron of Tannton, con ferred upon Sir Henry Labonchere, whose fa ther, little more than twenty years dead, was partner in the mercantile house of Hope & Co., Amsterdam and London. In fact, as fast as the old peerages die out new ones are created. Law contributes largely to swell the roll of the House ot Lords, for every Chancellor mnst be a peer. There are numerous peers who have obtained their honors by valor in war. The latest of those is Lord Clyde, formerly Sir Colin Campbell, who completed poor Havelock’s gallant at tempt to resist and quell the Indian- revolt. Thei church returns thirty-three archbishops and bishops with seats in the Honse of Lords; and about half of these hare sprang from the middle rank of life. Science has no repre sentative in the Upper Honse, and Lord Ma caulay stood alone, as tho first and tho last, ennobled on account of his achievements in literature. At one time, if report be trae, George the Fourth was anxious to show his regard for his physician, Sir Henry Halford, by raising him to the peerage. He mentioned his intention to Lord Liverpool, then Prime Minister, who did not much relish the idea of having a me. dical man in the House of Lords, bnt was too crafty to openly cross the King’s desire. “ I remember,” said his Majesty, “that we have an illustrious precedent in Italian history. The Medici, once so famous in Italy, derive their family name from the profession of their founder, and tho tbroo pills on their armorial -boarmgn'-perpetuate the fact.” Lord Liver pool quietly asked : «Has your Majesty thought of a title for Sir Henry 1” The King answered that ho supposod, as was usual, the new peer would assume the name of his landed estate. “Because,” continued his lordship, “ whatever name he may assume, people, remembering his obstetrio profession, will certainly call him < Good Lord deliver ns l’ ” That was quite sufficient. Mo man was more afraid of ridicule than George the Fat and Fourth, and, rather than have the laugh raised at his expense, abandoned his in tention oi elevating Sir Henry Halford to the hereditary peerage. The peerages of Ashburton and Taunton are connected with each other, and, inde pendent of the Ashburton treaty, there are other causes why Lord Ashbnrton should be considered with some interest in the United States : His wife was a Philadelphian. Lord Ashbnrton, who negotiated the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, in 1812, was originally Sir Alexander Baring, second son ot Sir Francis Baring, long the prince of London capitalists. Two hundred years ago, one Peter . Baring lived at Groningen, in the Dntch province of Overyssel. One of his sons—Franz Baring, minister of the Lutheran Chnrch at Bremen—was called to take charge of a congregation in London. He had a son, John, who was well acquainted with the art oi making cloth, and, settling at Larkbeer, in De vonshire, there established a factory. This cloth manufacturer had tour sons and a daughter* The latter married the celebrated lawyer, ugly John Dunning, who was created Baren Ash burton, in 1782; but on the death of his only son, the second Lord Ashbnrton, 1823, the title became extinct. John and Francis Baring, eldest and third sons ot the cloth-maker, established them, selves in London, with tbe double pur pose of selling his manufacture and of im porting the wool and dye-stuffs necessary for its production. After a time, John withdrew with a modest competency, and Francis, born in 1740, largely and boldly extended the busi ness of the firm—first known as Francis Baring & Co., and subsequently as Baring, Brothers, & Co. During the ministry ot Lord Shelbnrno, father of the present aged' Marquis ol Lansdowne, Francis Baring, who had become very intimate with him, was con sulted very confidentially npon the financial operations of the Government. At the age Francis Baring received the title of baronet. His three eldest sons, Thomas, Alexander, and Henry, were in the Arm when Sir Francis Baring died, in September, 1810. The eldest, who then became Sir Thomas, soon withdrew from business. The third, who wonld be called « fast ” in our days, was a dashing gambler, delighting in playing boldly in the salon* of Paris, and was bonght out of the house j which then remained solely represented by Alexander Baring, who had received his mercantile education in the great Honse of Messrs. Hope, of Amsterdam. . Towards the close of the last century, Alex ander Baring visited the United States, where he bonght large tracts of land in western Pennsylvania, and also, to th© amount ot $lOO,OOO, in Maine. Moreover, lu August, 1798, he married Anna Louisa, eldest daugh ter of Hon. William Bingham, oi Philadelphia, then Senator, and reputed the wealthiest man In the United States. It is said that, by Se nator Bingham’s death, as much as $900,000 fell to his danghter as her share of his for tune. Mr. Alexander Baring, who sat in the House of Commons for many years, was pre sident oi the Board oi Trade and master of the Mint during Sir R. Peel’s short administra tion, in 1834 6, and on AprillO, 1836, was raised to the peerage, as Baron Ashburton taking that title, as first cousin to the gentle man by whose death, in 1823, without male issue, the peerage became extinct. His di plomatic mission to the United States in 1842, is historical. By his death, In 1848, his title descended to his eldest son, William Bingham Baring, grandson of Senator Bing ham, of Philadelphia. On receiving the peerage, Lord Ashburton retired irom busi ness, still conducted by members of his fa mily, with Mr. Bates, and others. The peerage if Taunton, conferred upon Mr. Henry Labouchere, in 1869, is curiously PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1861. connected with the Barings. Lord Tannton has filled various high offices In the British Government, from 1832 to 1858, namely: Lord of the Admiralty, Master of the Hint, Chief Secretary for Ireland, President of the Board of Trade, and Colonial Secretary. He was a Gabinet minister for eight years. At the time of the revocation of the edict of Mantes, the family of Labonchere quitted France, and became established in Holland. Peter Cmsar Labonchere, born at the Hague, was taken into the great honse of Hope & Co., Amsterdam, as French correspondent, at the age of nineteen, on a good salary. He had frequent occasions to visit England, and was an acceptable visitor at such times, to the family of the late Sir Francis Baring—it would seem particularly acceptable to one member. At the age of twenty-two, when his engage ment with Messrs. Hope was nearly ended, he sought au interview with the senior mem ber of that firm, and, without preface, asked) “ Wonid yon give me a partnership, without demanding capital, if I were Francis Baring’s son-in-law, with his promise to throw the bulk of hiß foreign business into this honse 7” The answer was in the affirmative. Mext day, he went to England, and formally had an Inter view with Sir Francis Baring, from whom he demanded permission to pay his addresses to his daughter, Miss Dorothy Elisabeth Baring* Sir Francis responded that, personally, he had no objection, bnt it was impossible that he could bestow his daughter’s hand and for tune on a gentleman who, however estimable, was only a clerk in Messrs. Hope’s house. “ Yes,” said Labonchere; “ but when I mar ry, I am to be admitted as partner.” The marriage took place, and so did the other partnership; tor Mr. Hope and Sir Francis kept to their word, and thns made the trick successful. This occurred in 1796." Mr. La bouchere eventually settled in England, where he died, in 1839; and his eldest son, now Lord Tannton, inherits his great estates in Somersetshire. Thus endeth this chronicle oi peerages sprung from trade. One additional remark may be made: In all cases, that of the law lords excepted, it is necessary that the recipi ent of a peerage shall have ample fortune to support «tho dignity ”of the title. The mi nimum was fixed by George 111., we believe. It is understood that, before a commoner can be elevated to tho rank of baron—the lowest grade of nobility, as a baronet Is not a noble man—he must show his ability to set by, in perpetuity to the whole succession of eldest sons who will respectively inherit the title, an annual income of not less than £lO,OOO a year. The otheT ranks run thns: for a viscount, £20,000; for an earl, £30,000; for a marquis, £50,000; for a duke, £lOO,OOO a year. When a peerage is conferred for military or naval services, the Crown usually grants a pension of from £2,000 to £5,000 a year, for three livos, to the recipient. When the Speaker ot the House of Commons retires, usually with a peerage; his pension, for his own life and that of his son and grandson, is £4,000 a year. The Lord Chancellor is invariably made a baron, when be takes “ his seat on the woolsack,” with a salary of £lO,OOO a year, and when he quits office he gets £5,000 a year for life—be cause the etiquette of the English bar pre vents a judge from returning to practice in the courts. There are now five ex-chancellors thus pensioned—Lords Lyndhnrst, Brougham, Oranworth, St. Leonards, and Chelinsford. Lord John Rnssell, who has. just been cre ated earl, would, probably, have been shelved in the Honse of Lords, years ago, bnt for the fact that, until lately, his private income was never mere than £2,000 a year. His brother, the Duke of Bedford, who died a few weeks ago,-bequeathed him additional landed pro perty to the value of £5,000 a year. Even with this, the whole of his income Is but a fourth of what earls are usually expected to, have. . .. - • -I Income Tax. [For The Press ] It strikes me, as perfectly plain, that the act means to allow tbe benefit of the $BOO to all parties. Section 64 fixes the rate of three per cent, on income, by the nse ot the follow ing words: “ beyond the sum of $800;” and further on, in the same section, adds, “ and in computing such profits, gains, and incomes, there shall be deducted, besides the sum $ BOO, as aforesaid, all local taxes,” &c. It is evi dent,* from the wording of the section, that the $BOO shall be deducted in computing the same, with the object, I presame, of equal izing taxation in this respect—otherwise, an individual with an income ot $BOl would be compelled to pay a tax of $24-03, while another, with an income of bnt a dollar less, would go tree. Such a construction would be so evidently mijnst that I conld not believe it so intended, even if the wording of the sec tion was less clear. A. D. [This interpretation appears to be correct; bnt, in the collection of the British Income Tax, whenever the exemption limit is ex ceeded, the impost is levied on the whole amount. Than this nothing can be more unjust. We are glad that a fairer principle is adopted here.—Ed. Press.] The Spirit in Kentucky.

Lakcamml LETTER FROM WASHINGTON [Pram *nr Special Correspondent. J Washington, August 0,1861. It was certainly with a feeling ol relief that onr people looked upon the adjournment of Congress. For we have passed at last through the necessary preliminaries of the war, and we can now calmly look upon It in all its aspects, calculate its coßt, and anticipate its inevitable retails. With the adjournment of Congress, legislation ceases—and when the time of deli beration is over the time for action com mences. The career of the Republic has thus tar been an experiment, and necessarily an ex periment. We aro a great people, but still in many of those things which give greatness to Commonwealths we are inexperienced. Our experiences have been purely peaceful—and in tbe ways of peace we have advanced - to the vety front rank of nations. We have built the railroads, the telegraphs and great ships; we have patented more inventions than England and France combined; we have given cotton to the Old World, and improvised a literature which will enter into a comparison with any literature existing; we have tanght man the rights of man; we have made the wilderness blossom and bloom as the rose, and on toe aahes of romantic and barbaronß communities we have established the fabric of the most perfect Government the world has ever seen, and developed free institutions into the purest and best form of republican democracy. We have done all this, and yet without meeting one of the stem lessons of a nation’s life—lor the life of a nation has its stern lessons as well as the life of a man. We have not had a war which would fill more than ten pages of the History of America written in the year of onr Lord 2061. None of > l thoae landmarks which trace the path of English greatness from the battle-field of Has tings to the battle-field of Waterloo; none of those landmarks which show the rapid, strides of the Gaul from the sovereignty of Charle magne to the dictatorship of Napoleon; none of those landmarks which carry the eye of the stndent from Rome to Greece, from Greece to Carthage, and back to the uncer tain wars of the early Pharaohs, rise along the smooth and anbroken road over which America has been travelling since she parted company with Great Britain. In fact, we have not been tested as a nation, and our first test will be the severest, for no calamity can fall upon man more terrible than civil war. And the nation which can crash a civil war Is capable of passing through any possible trial which can befal it. With the adjournment of Congress the time for experiment closes. Mr. Buchanan ex perimented on forbearance and failed. Con gress tried the experiment of compromise, but the cannon balls of Fort Moultrie went through it, and it was torn to tatters. Then we had an experimental war, in whioh the world was to behold the novel spectacle of an army in Washington, commanded by valiant newspaper editors in Mew York. This ex periment also tested the value of a scanty commissariat, reckless quartermasters, in competent generals, insufficient artillery, and undisciplined volunteers; aud it closed under the hills of Manassas, and closed forever. Then we had the legislative experiment, which terminated in a success yesterday morning. For, among other things, it taught ns whom we had to fear among those at home, abd what we had to fear among those abroad. It adjourned just in time, for had it continued its sessions a week or two longer, we do not know in what embarrassing position it might have left the Administration and the country. - As it is, everything -that the legislative power can do to save the Republic has been done, and now we look to the Executive, uongress goes home, and leaves Mr. Lincoln a heavy pnrse and a well-sharpened sword. -It has sanctioned every power he assumed, and has clothed him with powers which he hesitated to ' assume. It has said to him: “We commit tbe Republic to y onr keeping, and we charge you to see that to it comes no harm.” And the people pour out their trea sure, lay their lives at his feet, and say to the voice of their Representatives, “ Amen.” The Peace experiment has been a failure. Mr. Cox gave us bis “ ration d means,” but tbe “ rational beings” of Congress could not exactly see how anything was to be accom plished by sending Martin Van Buren and se veral respectable statesmen to Kentucky te tinker up the battered compromise arrange ment of Mr. Crittenden. Mr. Cox either be came ashamed of his workmanship or afraid to : have . tested by-his people, and so in the : very last minntes ol tbe session be begged hpaxdon and promised to sin no more... I con gratulate Mr. Cox ou his repentance and only hope he is sincere, which I am frank to say I do not think. He fell into very bad company when he was voting with Henry May, Ben Wood, Burnett of Kentucky, Vallandigham of Ohio, and Ancona, Cooper, and J ohnson of your State, and if he thought he could gain the ear of the House and command a respect able party in the North, he would not hesitate to repeat his obnoxious proposition. This is at least the general opinion of those who know Mr. Cox, and know how eccentric he has be haved upon many propositions which in other days agitated the Honse. You must look to Maryland. There is a nest of copper-head conspirators at Frederick who are preparing to sting that State and send their poison into its heart and extremities- The Maryland Legislature, and ot that body I speak, does nothing but engender an angry and discontented feeling among its constitu ents. It is controlled by men who are as ini mical to this Government as Mr. Yancey or Mr. Wigfall. Yon know how they attempted tor many months to bully Governor Hicks in to calling them together, and how, after they bad frightened him into that measnre by the massacre and anrchy of April, they attempted to take from him the powers of government and divest him of every efficient power with which the Constitution clothed him. They hare been holding frequent and brief sessions, ani at each session they transact no business but that calculated to annoy tbe Administra tion. At their present session they are making armngements to inaugurate a thorough Dis union campaign, and lor that purpose have called their Convention to meet in Baltimore, September 10. Why should General Dixnot be present as a delegate from Fort McHenry ? Hit counsels and bis example would be inva luable. J. R. T. Letter from south Pass City. [Cirreapondenoe ot The Press I Camp keab South Pass Citv, ) July 26, 1861. J My Dear Sin : The Oregon Escort under ednmand of Captain H. E. Maynadior, which left Omaha, N. T.j on the Ist of Jane last, ctjoßutiDg of about sixty mounted men, and eliven wagons, drawn by five yoke of oxen etch, has at length reached this point, after a trip ot nearly two months. 'Onr journey as far as Fort Laramie was ior tie most part monotonous, and devoid of in tjrest, being over a level prairie country, with bit little to relieve tbe routine of travel. To one unaccustomed to this kind oi life the ceasing of the Plains is attended with many hardships, bnt so nrach interspersed with no velties and many new enjoyments, that the tyne passes away pleasantly, and all trouble is iirgotten. The air of the Plains, and espe cially when in the mountains, is so dry and mre, that it strengthens the lungs, and in nses life, health, and vigor into everything around, so that it is impossible hut to feel in tie best of spirits. Our expedition reached Fort Laramie on tie sth of July, where we were elegantly en hrtained by the officers of the Tenth In flntry. We remained here a day or two, and tken continued our journey np the north side <f the Flatte river, to the Mormon Ford, uhere we crossed to the south aide, in order to avoid, as much as possible, the dreaded Slack Hills, which are extremely barren, con. tuning little or no grass and not a stick of timber nothing but a wide, mountainous waste. The crossing of the Flatte river, which runs over beds of quicksand, on ac cimnt of tbe recent rains, was attended with some danger, bnt, under the able man agement of onr captain, onr train passed over it safety. We proceeded np the south side, passing several beautiful creeks, (two of which—the La Frele and Box Elder—have particularly line water,) until reaching a small village named Seer Creek, where we halted a tew days for the purpose of shoeing and recruiting onr cat tie. This place contains a post office, store, and blacksmith shop, and is the Indian agency of the Sioux, Rappahoe, and Cheyenne In dians. When we arrived the annnal presenta tion of gifts to these tribes from the Wakpah mini, or Indian agent, was being made, and representatives irom each nation were present. Some ot the Indians were fine-looking speci mens of what I consider (and since starting have become more and more impressed with the idea) tbe degenerate state oi the red man. These, however, seemed to be well clothed, and amply led. The two days we spent at Deer Creek passed away quickly and pleasant ly. We then recrossed the Platte river, some 30 miles above, over a fine bridge nearly a quarter of a mile in length, and which occupied two years in its construction. We then travelled as far as the Red Buttes, heavy, red sandstone bluffs on the opposite side of the river. They present a beautiful appearance. We - here di verged Irom the Flatte, and parted from it as from an old friend, having travelled along its banks a distance ot more than six hundred miles. The Sweetwater river was the next stream we touched upon, and tbe first camp we made upon its banks was directly opposite Independence Rock. This is a solitary rock, standing ont from a spur of the Rattlesnake Mountain. It is about two hundred feet in height, and about twenty-five bnndred feet in length. Several of onr party ascended to its summit daring the evening, and were fully repaid by the splendid view which met onr eyeß. Mountains and valleys lay stretched out before ns for miles and miles in one long continued vista. Several of the emigrants con nected with the different trains under escort, bad brought up their musical instruments with them which sounded beautifully in the cool night air, far above the bnsy camps beneath. On the west of the rock is a large alkali lake covering an area of several acres. The Mor mons of Salt Lake annually transport wagon loads of the saleratus which abounds in these lakes, for which they receive 25 cents per pound. Oar men laid in 'large stocks of it for baking purposes, a very cheap and profitable investment. The next morning we came to the Devil’s Gate, which is considered one of the greatest natural cari osities of the plains. Here the Sweetwater river runs between two perpendicular cliffs in the Rattlesnake Mountain, about five bundred feet iu height, and the goige thus formed furnishes a most singular and striking view. Several of ns travelled through it, but our journey was attended with considerable diffi culty. The water keeps up a terrific roaring over rocks and immense boulders of granite, to tbe extent of about two hundred feet, when It resumes its usual calm and placid appear ance. Since leaving the Devil’s Gate we have passed through several canons, but none of them compared with that I hare re ferred to. We now travelled up the Sweetwater until we reached our present encampment. This point is within fonr miles of South Pass Oity, and abont forty miles from South Pass—the dividing line between the waters of the Paci fic and Atlantic Ocean. Here the altitude is about 7,100 feet above the level of the sea, and is the summit or extreme height of the plains. Heretofore, we have travelled up all the rivers, but after leaving South Pass we will proceed downwards towards the Pacific. We will shortly take Col. Lander’s ent-off, down the Green, and around tbe Wind river monntains, thence down the Snake river to the Wallah- Wallah river, and thence down the Columbia river to the Dalles. We expect yet to be over two months on onr route. The Indians we have met thus lav have been very kind, and disposed to friendly relations, although, I think, more from policy than otherwise, as the appearance of onr train is rather formidable. We, however, anticipate bnt little trouble from them, as we keep a sharp lookout, and they are terrible cowards when they imagine there will be anything approaching to a fair fight. We have several large emigrant trains under onr charge, and will have several more after leaving here. The Indians frequently attack emigrants when unprotected, but the appear ance of United States troops keeps them at bay. We have had delightful weather, cold nights and warm days. The health of the camp is excellent, and we are all in first-rate spirits. P. R. F. Letter from Cresson Springs. [OorrejpondGßoe of The Preis.l Crssson Springs, Cambria Co., I August 7,1861. j Ou tbe 30th alt. an exciting scene occurred at tbe Allegheny tnnnel station, on tbe arrival of Col. Cntler’s regiment of Wisconsin volun teers, e* route for the seat of war. In order to accord them a grateful reception, a party of about sixty of our boarders, with the band volunteered by onr host, Mr. G. W. Muffin, took the morning train east for the tunnel, where after an hour’s ramble on the mountain top, enjoying the beantilnl views of surround ing Bcenery, the party repaired to the station, and awaited the arrival of the troops. The day was warm, the troops well tired with their prolonged travel, and as the train stopped many were hastily looking where water conld be had. Their surprise and gratification were alike excited by the prompt appearance of onr lady visitors bearing tin pails filled with pure mountain spring water in ample supply for all their wants. As the pails were emptied new supplies wore brought by others, and as tbe train was detained abont five minntes, we enjoyed the gratification of hav ing supplied them even to tbe replenishing of their emptied canteens. Daring this scene yon can imagine how onr ladies would cheer, and oiir heroic troops would in response hur rah ; bnt imagine, if yon can, their excite ment when, perceiving their colonel gallantly escorting a young lady bearing and gracefully waving thestarsandstrip.es. As they reached each car, he called on foe hoys to greet the daughter of —“ the Hero of Fort Sumpter.” The announcement that it was Miss Anderson who was modestly and majestically bearing onr national banner acted on the troops like an electric spark. Each car, with one accord, broke ont in foe wildest cheers, and, as she returned, each recovering somewhat from his surprise, greeted her with such “ a tiger” as only the sincere and the earnest can give ut terance to. It was truly a scene whien me mory will gladly treasure np. As foe train started, the band played onr national air, foe ladies cheered and waved their “ white ban ners,” the gentlemen halloed; bnt the regi ment drowned all out voices in their grand hnrrah and tiger. Believe me, no pen can describe the effect of such an unexpected but welcome surprise; nor can it be that any one witnessing it can ever forget it. Our only re gret was, that we had not prevailed on Gene ral Anderson to have joined onr party. This would have filled the measure for onr Wis consin heroes. The company here ranges from ninety to one hundred and twenty. Onr host, G. W. Mollin, is winning golden opinions from his guests. This place is destined to he a central ground, on which the pleasnre-seekers from the West and East will meet on the true plat form of a social equality. It abounds in all the needed resources for health and pleasure, and not foe least among these are foe facilities for frequent communication East and West, through the medium ot the Pennsylvania Central Railroad and the telegraph companies. Yonrs truly, Sojourner. The Kentucky Election [From the Louisville Journal.] We yesterday tonohed upon' the signifioanoe of the viotorj of Monday as respests the State; we now propose to say a word touching the signifioanoe of the Tiotory as respeots the oeurnry. Id this relation, twe grand points were made by the Union candidates throughout the State; name ly, first, that the independence cf the insurrection ists ought not to be recognized ; and se condly, that tho insurrectionists ought to be compelled to recognize the snpremaoy of the Constitution, and the inviolability of the Union. In other words, tho Union candidates everywhere, in the State announced that the thought of aeoepUng the destruction of the Repub lic as a fact was not fit to be entertained, bnt that the Rcpnblio, at whatever neocssary oost of trea sure and of blood, must be preserved. Further more, the Union candidates universally ap proved the action of the Union Congress men in voting men and money to proseente the war for the objeots defined in (ho resolu tions introduced by the illustrious Critten den and adopted with all bnt absolute unanimity by both Rouses of congress. The action of onr Union Congressmen entered into, and oonstitnted a part of, the position of every Union candidate in the eleotion of Mondey. On the other hand, the Secession candidates deolared universally in favor of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy and against the prosecution of the war, for any object. They openly contended that the nation ought at onoe to submit quietly to its own destruotion, by J«ff Davis and nis rebellions ooborts. They de olared for peuo os the bails of the overthrow of the Republic. With the issue thni made np, and made up thus unequivocally, the Union oandidatos, as we have seen enough to know, were elected by a popular majority completely overwhelming. The strong probability is, that the popular majority of the Union oandidatos is unparalleled in tho history of the State. The victory ot Monday, therefore, signifies clearly, as respects the external relations of the State, that Kentucky li opposed to the reoog&ition of the Bontharn Confederacy, and is in favor of proseoutlng the war 11 to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union with ail tho dignity, equality, and rights ot the several States, unimpaired ” It signifies that Kentucky is not prepared to aoeept as a fact the destruotion of the prond Republic of whioh she is a member. It signifies that Kentuoky rejects peaoe on terms so ruinous and so ignoble as these It signifies that, in the estimation of Kentuoky, there are advantages more precious than peace, and evils more pernieiotu than war, and that the pre servation of tho life and honor, of the nation is amongst the former, as the loss of both is amongst tho latter. It sigoifies that Kentuoky thorongly comprehends that there oonid bo nothing bnt war, sanguinary and interminable, if the Union should be destroyed, and that the maintenance of the Union, in its fall constitutional vigor, is the condi tion of ths only pesos worth having or worthy of the name. It signifies that, whatever part other States of the Seuth may have ohoson, under the inspiration of a frenzy kindled by hnman fiends, as tor Kentnoky and hers, they will serve the Re pnbiie, and stand firmly by it in this dark hoar of Its Heaven appointed career. Suoh Is the national signifioanoe of the victory of Monday. The domestic signifioanoe of the vio tory, we need not repeat, lies in the fact that Ken tnoky, as the utmost she can do for the common eause, is resolved io proteot herself in the irrogu lar position of loyal neutrality whioh she has as sumed, and leave the Government to direct its movements without respect to her exigenoies. The total signifioanoe of tho victory is not only that Kentnoky is at heart true to that Union and the Constitution, bnt that she will’hsnosfortb wield her neutrality more effsotnally than ever in the defense of both. Tho victory is manifestly a eloar and vast gain to the Commonwealth and to the Republio.

The following, from the Boston Journal, shows that the “ Amerioan Athens,” and its en vlrons, are contributing their full quota to this ca tegory: “Eleven sew ohurohea are going up in Boston and its vioinity.

Midhiqht Mbitirss lit Emslahd.— The mid night meetings, commenced by Christian philan thropists in Great Britain same time since, have attained the dignity of a “movement.” An English correspondent states that nineteen of these “ midnight meetings had been held, and through their influence more than six hundred women rescued. The movement is said to be spreading in all the large oities and towns. Of those rescued eighty-nine have been restored to their friends ; seventy-five placed in service ; six married ; two reconciled to husbands; two emigrated; one plaeed in business; eighty-one now in homes. Many have been induced to abandon a life of sin and seek a way of escape for themselves, in various ways. Judging from the published accounts, these midnight meetings of. England are new rivalling, in their visible fruits at least, the noon day meetings of Amerioa. Thby will Mabbt.— Bev.
