To show our readers the sort of Govern ment the secessionists are inaugurating, wo select some of the changes made. The legislature is to ait annually instead of biennially as heretofore, and the length of the session is unrestricted. The person 1 haying the highest number of votes Governor is not to be declared elected un- received a majority of the - whole number of votes cast. If no person receive 4 such majority, the General As sembly to select the Governor from the Persons, not exceeding three, having the highest number of votes. The- present Board of Public Works, elected by the people, is abolished, and the Legislature elects and controls hereafter. The Judges of the Appellate and Circuit Courts are to b-C elected by the General Assembly, in stead of by the qualifiod voters aa at • present.. The judges are to hold office during good behavior,, or until seventy years of age. Clerks and Attorneys for the Commonwealth for either Circuit or County Court to be appointed by. their re spective courts, instead of'being elected by the people. The Attorney General to be appointed by the General Assembly for an. indefinite tenure of office, instead of by the people for a term of years as at .present. Sheriffs to be nominated by the County Courts and appointed by the- Gov ernor, and to be eligible for any term, if / thej have duly accounted for all public - dues. At present, Sheriff’s are .elected by ;the people for one term, and are not eligi ble for the same office for the next suc ceeding term. ' Constables are appointed by the County Courts. Only the Mayor, Aldermen and members of the Councils of the cities and towns to be elected by the people. The various officers to be appointed, some by , th,e Council, others by the' Hustings Court. The Legislature is empowered to prohibit '|Ai /ufuTf “Bmxnctpa tion of slaves. The pro- / > a "moiety of the capi tation Uz upon white persona tri be ap plied (o the purposes of primary schools is ' repealed. • Suoh are tome of the provisions of the . ihew constitution. It will be seen that the ... principal power has been taken from the hands of the people, and conferred upon the legislature; even the Governors will gen .■ '***ll7 be elected by that body. Thus, step ; by step, do the rebels show their aristocratic tendencies. ' Gen. James H* Lane. We are rqjoiced to see it announced that Gen. Jnt Lawn, as he is usually called, has been tendered a Brigadier Generalship by the President, and that he intends to accept itj as soon as he has vindicated right to _-i'.his seat’in the Senate. He will most prob ' -Uetty then resign his seat, and devote him- fietf wholly to the service of his country in , He has hitherto been acting .vwjtAbat a commission from the Govern- xaent, and jet has done more-effective ser* than many generals clothed with offi cial power. < ‘ .-Wt give to-day a sp.scch. delivered by Gen.

Wothing great can be accomplished without these traits. The soldier .intuitively trusts the commander who himself and evidences that he has faith in his men. There is a mutual sympathy, ar firm a true devotion, that is worth more than numbers in the day of-battle. There is thering of genius and martial energy about all of Gen. lu.xE's , sift words, whichja captivating to the } i fobUfcjy f|io expects under such a comman : der to be led in the path of glory, instead of / fretting himself to death in camps. If-Gen. JLurx tad an independent com- mud, we shouldhear of stirring news. . Ihe intelligence of Lane's promotion ; .j. follows immediately after thedellvoiy of tie ' stirring andeloliuent speech.

It will be a pity to put him underj the con trol of a martinet who could neither un derstand or appreciate his active and who would probably take every oppor tunity of snubbing and humbling him ' - ‘ Give him room to display his qualities and , he will carve ont a nich in the temple of teme, or dig hu grave beneath ils lofty • • 'towers. _ „,,*r.;r BewairiV Diplomatic y{ vpoßdence^ ‘ Offly&ie,.Secretary' ofState has Won for :; himself a' reputation, probably not second . ..i itothat of ahy Uring 'diplomatist, by'the i.l RtU ability with which he hai managed rolumlnoos foreign' correspondence, --ffonre glad that but one sentiment on the \ subject perradca the public mind. Th a has been charged, rpry unjustly We think, ntth. oppbslng'Mr. grir . ann ftom motto* of a personal ebaraeter. 'Bi t We hare generally foond the TWluiu ready to do justice to ail and to bo OB ierj little tires as any paperintin country.' Be tii» . as it may, the IWiime tpeakiJn tbebigh eet terms of Mr. BawAan’s correspondence, and if they are the Words «f an opponent, tfiey are all the more honorable to tiie piper and to Mr. Sewahd. Speaking ef the at tempt of certain British paper* to fasten upon Mr. Seward the charge of a hectoring, bullying, ‘ menacing and insulting treat ment of European powers in his diplomatic intercourse, the Tribune says: Li vain would they turn page after page, in eager quest of the passages whereon the criminations of their favorite journals were based; they do not appear because they do not existv Whatever may hare been Gov. Seward’s personal demeanor to ward tiie diplomatists, accredited to Wash ington—and it is quite probable that to those known as favorable to a triumph of the Secessionists he has been no more' cor dial than the etiquette of his position requir ed—we find no trace of arrogant assumption or haughty exaction in this volume. The tone of the .Secretary of State is assured and firm, but not at all defiant; he does not concede, whether in word or deed, that the Union is divided, or the seoeded States per manently alienated; he regards secession and the civil war it has inaugurated merely as passion-gusts sweeping over our coun try, and temporarily disordering much that appears on its surface; bat he never doubts that the tornado will soon have spent its force, and that the country, reunited, will be stronger and more prosperous than ever before. Foreign Governments and their agents have a perfect right to smile at this as delusion; but they havo no right to resent it as arrogance or insult And it is only on the London Times’ cool assumption that we have no right to assimilate the slavehold ers’ rebellion to one which should break out in the British Isles and threaten their dis memberment, that the most determined Eu ropean caviler can find anything in Gov. Seward’s dispatches to dispute, much less to resent. * * • • * * We feel that the dispatches of Governor Seward are eminently conciliatory as well as firm, and that their publication must dis abuse the general mind of Christiandom of many false and injurious impressions. The leading British newspapers are so de terminedly, inveterately unjust to us that we trust special efforts willjto made to se cure for these documents an European cir culation. The Advance in Kentucky Begun \in The Cincinnati Commercial, in an editori&l notice yesterday morning, after mentioning the fight on the conth tide of Green River, opposite Mtunfordaville, between Col. Wil- Uch'i Indiana German regiment and a greatly superior force of rebelß, in which the rebeli suffered a signal defeat, losing thirty killed, including Col. Terry, of Texas, commanding the Texan Rangers, and fifty wounded, while the Federal loss was only eight privates and an officer'-'killed, and sixteen wounded, of which the telegraph _has brought ns a brief account, with the additional fact that the Fed oral troops were orossing Green River all that day, goes on to state that the advancod move ment In Kentnoky, for which the country has been watting forsome time, has now undoubt* odly commenced in earnest, and thore is every reason to believe that it will be continued vigorously. Gen. Buell, having brigaded and thoroughly organized the army, will at once take the field; and when TEe regiments now under orders ixfOhio and Indiana, shall be addod to the formidable array already moving south wards along the several lines of advance chosen, unless the rebels desert Columbus and concentrate their forces along the Mississippi undor Pillow, Polk, reinforce Buckner, ho serious resistance can possibly be offered' to our advance on Nashville. This view is already taken up by some of our boys in Neg loy's brigade, as wd learn by a letter just re eved by a gentleman in this city, that the pleasure of spending their Christmas in Nash ville is one of those good things of the future which seems so near and so certain, that it can be almost taken for. granted already, A Criticism from the Beeches.

If, Ting asrumed, that we wait three ur four months, tiH he is thoroughly fortified, and it is dangerous to attack him, then it follows, logically, that the best thing we can do is to entrench onrselTes, and look at him.

It Is nothing more or less than polities stupidity to let your enemy die* tale when, and where yon shall fight. To collect and drive a powerful column on weak points of the enemy*s line, is the trae secret of success. And yet' f Aat has not been done by- Generals on either side; Most fortun ately form, the rebel Generals are just as de ficient in military-genius as ours.

Qaz. From, kei&tn<&y. [Special Corr-spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, j Fra-vki-okt, Ky., Den, if,. The late oxtraurdinaiy-courße-r-to call it by no harsher name—of the Louisville pa pers, and particularly of the Louisville has doubtless provoked suspicions at the Nbrth, of the general character of Kentucky Unionism, and some recent ac tions of the Legislature may tend, with some, to confirm those suspicions. It is doubtless true that there are a few members of the Union party in the Legisla ture, whose loyalty is limited by circum stances and dependent on contingencies. Their number is not great enough to con trol or even sensibly influence the course of the party, but it is great enough to give occasional trouble. Members whose judg ments compel them to act with the Union party, but whose whole families, fathers, brothers, cousins, are all Secessijmists, and are all the time taunting them wjith having gone over to the Abolitionists, ari naturally a little tender-footed on such subjects as the emancipation of the slaves of rebels arming the slaves, general confiscation of rebel property and the like. Others, again —very few, however—are supposed to have always been Secessionists at heart, but te have kept up the pretense of Unionism to carry out that system of espionage which the rebels have brought to such perfection. It is even asserted that there are reasons for believing that one “Knight of the Gold en Circle” meets regularly, under the guise of Unionism, with the rest of the Union party. But in the main there are no truer men anywhere than these Kentucky Unionists of the present Legislature; and the nation owes them too a debt of gratitude to be en tertaining any unjust doubts of their loy alty. As to the Louisville papers, it is suf ficient to say that they utterly fail to rep resent the position of either the Legislature or the people. The popular feeling is tersely expressed in this extract of a letter from Nicholas county printed in the Frank fort Commonwealth: “Carlisle, December 10. “The general opinion here is that the President is as" conservative as could be expected and that Cameron is too radical for his place and that the Louisville Journal has made a great ass of itself.” Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 17.—The Select Committee reported a resolution, expelling Representatives Elliott, Matthewson, Mer ritt, Ewing, Silvortooth, Gilbert, Boone and King, for aiding the rebellion. Five rebel officers and soldiers eaptured some days ago in< Tennessee, by Unionists from Whitley county, Ky n passed through here to-day en route for Louisville. A letter from a prominent officer at Mum fordiville, says the commands of Generals McCook, Johnson, Wood and Rousseau, rest ed oh the northern bank of Green River, Sunday. Earnest, BueU’s Body Guard was on parade at Louisville to-day. Buell is expected Co take the field at an early day. A letter from Lebanon, Dec. I7th, says: “We (Thomas’ division) are making rapid preparations and will leave in a few days. There are many rumors about a movement of the enemy below, but nothing reliable: Nelson's division encamped on Muldraugh's Hill, on the old Nashville turnpike, Sunday night, in fine order and spirits.” Nothing yet from Eastern Kentucky, or Cumberland Gap, to show previous accounts unfounded. The British Press—Sober Second Thought. A Manchester letter in the Daily Xew» t under date of November 28, intimatos that “a calmer feeling” had taken possession of the public mind, and adds that “thoro arc a great, many reckless men who would at once urge on a war to redress the alleged insult to the British flag, but thu « by no mean* the general feeling , and amongst some of the leading merchants the first ebullition’ of anger is giving place to anxiety, lest the government should too precipitately be disposed in favor of a resort to arms.” This is one indication of a healthy reac tion within the space of two days. Another is found in the admission of the money writer of the Daily News, who aay 3 : “The opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown is looked for with extreme interest; and an impression has gained ground to day, that, apart from the extremely offen sive manner in. which the American war vessel has acted, the verdict of international juriitM viU not be entirely condemnatory of the : coxtree purtued by it There are, ihen, many anxious discussions aPfco how far the Ameri can government will go in the endeavor to allay by concilitory and apologetic lan guage the.deep feeling of irritation justly roused In all classes of society in this .country. Beneath everything there exists !an undercurrent of apprehension lest the American government really contemplated the desperate policy of seeking to fasten a quarrel upon Great Britain in order to gain a standing ground for abandoning the de sign of subjugating the South.’’ Washington, Dec. 14, 1861 “You must not urge a forward move ment,” says one regular officer, of good experience and high position; “if we ad vance now, we shall be whipped.” “We muet take a start”, says another regular Officer, as fully entitled as the first to con fidence; “we must take a start or know the reason why. Wo hare waited too long ’already.” Opinions certainly vary, and it is not the Commander-in-chief alone who hesitates to declare for action. But on weighing the opposing judgments, the bal ance is unmistakably found to be against, delay, Mamy have freely avow ,ed their eagerness to take advantage of opportunities repeatedly opened to us, but invariably neglected. I have heard- one signify perfect conviction of his ability to march to Richmond, from the North, with 40,000 good mem 1 know that another, of groat fame and admitted skill, would joy fully besiege the rebel capital, from a south ern point of attack with only 80,000 men.* The reputation of these officers is second to .that of none in the army. They have especially sought from time to time, the privilege of .achieving something, which for some reason thal we must presume to be sufficient, has always been denied them. The argument* of opposition seem to come mostly from officers within the direct influ ence of the commanding General, who, without ever betraying his exact views, has certainly secured the devoted adherence of many to the mere indications of his plans. Appearances now tend to the belier that his intentions, are passive, Consequently Iho regular 'opinions of staff-officers and such are.uniformly of a tranquil order: but should Mingle active impulse proceed from him to-morrow, the. views of tho ma jority would undoubtedly experience a sudden revulsion,,.and tho universal cry would beAr the eminent propriety and dis cretion of an advance. • BkcbkUrt Seward's Foresight.— Tho present, aspect of our relations with Eng land recalls the admirable letter of Secre tary Soward tp the Governors of the differ ent States, advising them of the importance .of making immediate preparations for the fortification of their respective coast* and harbors.
