This occur-rid about half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, and It had no sooner taken place than tbe enemy posted two batteries on GemLytle's right flank, then no longer protected by tbe presence of Gilbert's corps, and, furiously shelling, advanced a heavy column of infantry ttader cover of the fire.

The 3d Ohio, Col. Beatty, tho 10th Ohio, Col. Burke, tho 16th Kentucky, Col. Curran Pope, of Gen. Lytle's brigade, had all been roughly handled by vastly superior timbers, and lost muy brave men; and when assailed thus, front and flank, mutilated and euttoplecieaethey were, they were utterly unable to repel the attack, and there were no reinforcements in McCcok's command, every man having been engaged for hours.

So Ljtle's brigade was doubled up. He was severely wcunded and taken prisoner. Colonel Jouelt and Major Campbell, of the 15th Kentucky, were killed, and Colonel Pope wounded. Tbe enemy continuing to advance, roL'ed up the line until he reached the brigade of Colonel Len. Harris, now Mayor of Cincinnati, who btavely and stubbornly resisted the edvance of the enemy from both directions, and, with the aid of Lttmis'a and Slmonson's batteries, chckeu him.

Conspicuous in his command, la hsrd fighting and severe Iocs, was the Sd Ohio, Colonel Anson McCook commanding. Colonel Pope, feeble from loss cf blood and disease, and on foet, bravely retained the command of his regiment, the flag of which, five times sbot down, was finally picked up by Captain Jimmle Ferman and carried by him through the remainder of the fighl During this time the left of the line was fletcely assailed by overwhelming numbers and driven from Its position, which, leaving Harris's flank uncovered, forced bim also to retire. There ware two batteries en the left, Stone's 1st: Kentucky, and Bush's Wisconsin. Many of their horses wore shot down, "and the pieces and caissons were dragged to the rear by the men. Lytle's and Harris's brigades fell back some two hundred yards, in the rear of Harris's line of battle, and Starkweather's, on the extreme left, about the same distance, in the rear of his tint line, where his guns (Stone1 and Bush's were Instantly opened on the enemy, and the fire continued till dark.

Note regiment, nor a piece of a regiment, of Rousseau's division, was driven from the field that day, although a portion of the ground they held In the morn-fog was held by the enemy at night, and many of our dead and weunded were in hi possession. But the field of battle was still Iu dispute when nisht closed In upoa the scene of blood. Rousseau's division lost neither gun nor caierfon of the four batteries belonging to it. Just as this division was taking Its second position, near the close of the day, re-cuforcements came, and with teem a terrible crash of musketry, which lasted for some minutes, then there was a lull for a little wallo, when the rattling of small arms was again heard, aud more rapid than before, and continued for, perhaps, half an hour, when It ceased, and all quiet, and tho battle of Perry ville was ended. The errors of General Bragg are applrcnt.

Instead of fighllug odds of more than two to hU oueyit was fr more than that the other way. His whole farce, except Kirby Smith and Withers, was enssged. Besides the command of Kirby Smith, rated at fifteen thoutsaud, Bragg had thirty-five thousand. Take Withers division from thia) say an average with the other divisions (there were fivo in all, and we have left twenty-eight thousand of Brogg'a army engaged in this battle. Opposed to this force oi twenty-eight thousand were Rouleau's division of less tlian seven thousand, and about two regiments cf raw troops of Jackson's command.

And the rebala fought under more favorable- auspice thou we. They bad an abundance of water, while we had noue and could get nono. Wo had marebed eleven miles (from Macksriilej that morning, nearly a day's march, without water, and throughout one of- the hot-teat days. Sweltered with heat and parched with thirst, the men struggled without a murmur. If Gen.

Bragg failed to drive so email a force from the fisldwith so la'geaone, it was only because the map chote death rather than defeat and dlihouor. They left nearly six hundred dead men on the field of battle, and over fourteen hundred wounded, nearly one-third of the force engaged. One of the largest and best regiments of the command, the 17tb Kentucky Jno. McHcnry, was on detached duty at Springfield, and took no part In the battle. But this estimate of Brogg'a forces engaged fa tho battle is- sustained by other evidence.

Gen. Dan. Adams, of I believe, and one of the most chivalrous sonls In the rebel army, who lost aa eye at Shlloh, and bad his left arm shattered and was taken prisoner at Chickamauga. White' a prisoner at Chattanooga, he called upon by General Aleck McCook, General Boueeeau, General King, and 'Jamea E. Murdocli, the tragedian.

In the battle of Perryvllie became a subject. Many incldont of that battle were named. Adams exercised great wonder and snrprise that Gilbert and Sheridan did not attack the rebel force in flank during the battle. Said ho.

Mr.

MillsV first solo was Chopin's Berceuse (cradle song) and Valse, which ho played with tbe most expression, taste, and delicacy, of presentation, combined with distinctive brilliancy for which this artist is rogustty celebrated. In the second part he gave Llsit's famous "Rikozy March," in that electric style of which he is so thoroughly the master.

The marriage of Misat Lucca has given very great offense to her friends, not from the fact that she was married, bat from her failure to invite any of her collesgaes- on the occasion. The wedding was celebrated in Berlin in the most aristocratic manner, only noblemen and members of the cabinet' and high army officers lelng invited. JJjTrouble with concert-gtyers would appear to be as great in London as, in. New York. In the former city it arises from a very old act of Parliament, which proliibitsunder penalty of forfeiting license to any hall, the giving or permitting of day roncertsiMtnin' the vast city's llmitr; and so Fauer, wlfc'other matlnee-glvlng managers, were MmptJled to rescind their announcements upon tho revival of that ancient edict against day concerts within London's wide domain.

There must have been either some very queer music or some very queer critics at Lord Pal-merston's funeral. The London Telegraph, speaking of the manner in which the Dead March in. Saul was played on the organ, says: "At this moment of dissolution and separation, it seemed as the whole frame-work of the glint cathedral was beginning to sob and heave with some suppressed yet tremendous emotion, as though the vay pillars of atone that had stood- the brunt of neglect and violence and civil war and unbelief for 800 yeam.were rocking to and fro.

He waa never excelled In Rossini's ''William Tell," and as Aehton In "Lucia," Riccardo in I Antonio In "Linda," Rodolfo in 'Bomnambula," Carlos In "EmanL" Pietro in "Massaniello," and similar roles, he was great ly admired. He returned to Europe some nine years ago, and sang in Paris for a while. Last year he sang at Peearo on the occasion of the Inaugratlon of the Rossini statue. It was then said that his voice was in remarkably good conf dition for one so old. A supplement to tbe already published score of "L'Afrlcaine" is shortly to appear, and will contain twenty-two pieces, either second or third editions of the present numbers, or of others that have been entirely expunged.

A Paris correspondent of the London Musical World writes as follows of Mile Castri: "I think it was cruel in the extreme to ask M'lle Castii to make her debut in Linda, and such a mistake it will take some time to rectify. The whole of the Parisian press are unanimous In asserting that a great wrong and a gmat error have been committed In the selection of Linda for M'lle Castri's flrst appearance. Of the 'great error' there can be no doubt; of the 'great wrong' I am not so well assured, since I have my opinion that the new lady will not.bet-ter her position when she comes out in a part In which AdelinaPattl has not appealed at all. M'lle Castri has a pleasing voice, and Is lady like and easy on the stage; but of 6ingiBg Ehe knows little, and ol acting nothing." TJUmann pays Cariotta Patll $1,000 per month. No true happiness can be found outside ot the home, and new sources of enjoyment must be introduced to make it attractive.

Especially where there are the young who need encouragement in all that is good to keep them from going astray. Nothing is so lasting and refining as music in the home to make it pleasantto the young, and there is no instrument which will aid more in making them happy than the American Organ, which is truly an Instrument for the home circle. It occupies but little room, -while the price brings it within the reach of all.

As soon I found out thatl could not get the ladles to hold tho fair in tho Temple I warned yon, and also air. Win. Cromey, your agent, of the fact, expressing ray regret. Having dono all in my power to remove the fears and apprahcnaionB ef the la' dies, should I be held responsible? Moreover, the object of tho Fair is purely chsritable one thit com.

mends itself to tho benevo'eucc and charity of all, and an? Bum to be paid for ite Temple would have to bo laeh from tho earn realized from the chirltyof a geri-erona and liberal public. 1 therefore submit to your honoiabloand gencroua Board, Whether you will require tbia sum from the lady miratgcrs, who have not occcpled your Temple not because they wished to vio-lat-j the contract, hut because they felt apprehension, thrt the building waa net safe in their ewn minda and Incite minds of many of their frieuds. liowovcr nn-founCed those epprehensions may have been they were Lonorably and sincerely entertained. In the interest of tho orphan, I beg your honorable Board to give the latty managers a release from til claim for rent and let them coneider the sun a donated by your generous and Board to ihi. mr.thi.rlra.

Mtttutn nmli.nn. fnr wham with pcifect ditlntarestcdncsa Uiey are so devotedly laborlbgv. With great respect, yours, Ac. U. J.ai'ALUEfSJPI Jan.lll,lS0li,;' jjg----r rJahuirylcTIGSb.

LWABQJU aoutienjrr wm.iiiph, m. ectfhlly your before tne noaru oi Lnreoora oi auaomc xcuipiu a a regular meeting held this day, when reaolutloa wasunaal-monaly passed that tbia Board donate the amount due tnemby the Managers of the Fair named in your letter, say tq tbe fund of the St. Vincent Orphan Asylum, and the Managers of the Fair bo requested to place the amount on thebooks 01 the orphan Asylum, aa donated by tbe "Temple Company, thereby releaalug aU claim, for rent of hall. On examination of the Record-Book of "Temple Company," I find we have lost about two weeks' engagement, of the hall, at remunerative prices, by tbe Man-agora of tho Fair not notifying the Company in due time; and notwithstanding tho Company havo Buffered great lose by the accident which occurred, and tho great expense In making the hall stronger than beforo the accident, and tho reports circulated by envious persons, both by writing and talking, to tho great iujuryof tho reputation of the building, not a dissenting voice was in the Board when the object waa "Charity to the Orphan." I trust, my dear sir, that the Fair ma prove a more complcto success than auy heretofore held for the noble and worthy object. I am, most respectfully, your oVcvt servant, GEO.

W. WICKS, President Masonic Templo Co LoclsraLx, Jan. 13, 1S5S. Dun Sir Yours of the 16th lust, informing mo of the noble action of the Board of Directors of Masouic Templo in donating their claim for rent -of Masonic Temple totho Et. Vincent's Orphan Asylum been received.

In the name of the. lady managers of the orphans I moat sincerely thank you and the Board ef Directors for your kindness and liberality. Thid donation, as you request, shall be properly entered ou tho books of the Asylum, and the orphans' puro prayers snaU as-ceud to Heaven for your happiness aud prosperity in timo and eternity. I trust that all apprehension as lo tho entire safety of Maseuic Temple, which seemed to me to be utterly groundless alter tho repairs wero completed, has ben almost entirely removed by tho scveio tests to which it has been recently subjected, and that when wo raay have occasion to hold another fair we may be able to occupy it aud realize all that we may ncd for charitable orjects. In the namo of the lady managers I invite you and the directors to visit the fair-room nud give them' eu- eouragcnicnt in tbo efforts they are making for tho homeless and destitute orphan.

To the Editors of the Louisville Journal: Gentlemen: I have Just read, in the last number of the Cincinnati Commercial, General Bragg' report of hie Kentucky campaign, in which ho gives au account of the battle of PerryvUle, fought on the 8th day of October of that year. In referring to the war of 1812, with distinguished American once aald: "Nationi wonll do well to write tlio history of battlea fought after comparing notce with each other." This Is eminently ao of the great rebellion just suppressed. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing bat the truth, rbould be told, for ail alike axe interested In this, and, by "comparing notes," we shall hear both sides, and find, if wo will, the 'juste milieu." Of this campaign of General Bragg, I hare not now time, to speak fully, there are many matters, within mr personal knowledge, that would be of Interest to tbe public I desire to allude only, to the battle of Perry rillc, General Bragg' is pleased to say, wwoa fought by our hie troops with a gallantry and peisistent determination to conquer which theeocmy coiild uat resist, and, though he was largely more than two to one, he was driven from the field with terriblo loas. Night closed the operatiousjust as the third corps of the cntmy threw thflhad of its columns agaiastourle Sank. We had entire pease saion of the battle-field, with thousands of the enemy killed and wounded, several batteries of Artillery, and six hundred prisoners." Let us ccmpare nutca a moment with the- General and see how ti'ua matter is.

Nowt it is well known by Gen. Buell, and all of Gen. Bucll'a army, what forced on our side were engaged in that battle, and that the United States force so engaged were vastly Inferior in numbers to tho3e of Gen. Bragg, and weie not driven from the field, us alloged. It was expected, and not doubted, by Gen.

Buell au4 his lead ing officers, that a great and decbivu battle would ba fought at PerryvUle. Bragg and his army, and tlte rebels in and out of Kentucky, had induced the belief that he Intcndid to remain In the State, He had token possession of the capital, inaugurated Richard Hwes as Governor, and pledged himself to the people of the State that he would remain; and all this was confirmed by tho letter of Beauregard to Cooper, Adjutant-General of the rebel army, at Richmond, In which he eald "a rebel army should be sent to the State, strong enough to defeat Buell, and hold possession of the State." This letter, part of a rebel mail, was captured by Buolt at Prcwit's Kuob, after Bragg reached Kentucky. Not only Kentucky, but the Northwest, was at stake upon this anticipated battle; hence Buell approached it with cauton. On the morning of tho Sth October, General MeCook was lying near Macksvllle, with Rousseau's division of three brigades of over six thousand men, and Jackson's division, two brigades of leis than that number. Gen-oral Sill, commanding the'othcr division of McCook's corp-, had marched upon Frankfort, confronted Kirby Smith, and constituted the force which Bragg and Kirby Smith thought was superior to Kirby Smith's fifteen thoutand.

Sill's command numbered about five tbou-ta'djfive hundred. Rousseau's division was compose! of old soldiers, exsept threo regiments, raw troops, added to his command about tfie 1st of October at Louisville. Jaskion's command was composed of raw troop, entirely, who had seen no service, and who knew little or nothing of discipline or tactics, but neither those of Uousseau or Jackson had ever seen battle. About two o'e'eck on that morning, McCook received an order from Buell to march at daylight to within two or three mlToa Of Perry ville, "near as the order stated, was supposed the enemy would give- battle," make a recognizance the enemy' position, and then report in persou to Buell, whose headquarters were about three and a half miles south or southwest of where it was supposed KcCock would halt. At daylight the whole command moved off, Rousseau's division in front, and soon after cannonading was heard in the direction of Perryvllie.

Col. Beard, 3d Kentucky Car-airy, was ordered to send forward a portion of his regiment to fearn what he could of the enemy, and. Major -Toinl3iolas, with four companies, wna ordered to perform that duty. The head of the column finally reached Bottom's bouse, on the road side, two miles from Perryvllie, and halted. We there aaw the rebels slowly retiring, and Gay's Cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, commanded by Cept.

Hitchcock, pursuing. Tho rebels halted out of reach of Hitchcock's short-range guns, and Capt Loom is, of Rousseau's division, was directed to use long rango guna 'from bis battery, which was done, and tbe rebels soon after disappeared wo thought, erroneously, they were gone, and Gen. McCook went in person to report to Gen. Buell, as was ordered. After eleven o'clock A.M., Rousseau concluded to march his men, who were suffering intensely for water, baring had very little for several days, to the Doctor's Fork, of Chaplin Creek," lying be tween bim and wheio the rebels had disappeared, and a half to three quarters of a miio from where the head of tho column then lay.

The guns of Hitchcock were on an emlnenco two er threce hundred yards in (rout, supported by tho 10th Ohio, Colancl Burke, of Lytle's brigade. The order was given and the movement begun, the 16th Kentucky, Colonel Curran Pope, boing at tho head of tbe command. Bnt had not reached the guns of Leomis and Hitch cock before the rebels reappeared in tho edge of tho where they bad been last seen, and iu a few mo- rxeu'" heavy and rapid caunonadlng was Opened the reVcls from that point, and word came from Captain John Wickliffe, Sd Kentucky cavalry, on the left front, to the effect that tho rebels, in heavy force, were ad vancing. RouBscau's division was at once formed lu ine of battle, and word cent back to General Jackion infoiming him of the Impending engagement. fc.Tbat the reader may nnderataud how this battle was fought, I will ear that tho road from Mackaville to Fcnyvillc runs about southeast, and when halted, as ho fore staf ed, McCook's command stood In column along that road.

Off to tho right 0f the head of the column, and running nearly north nud south, was the Hue of tattle of so much of IVjoU'j army as was In position. Gilbert's corps, of twnty two or three thousand, was on the left of that line; whst troops were iu Hue early la the day I do not know, hut understood that sometime during tbe day General Crit. tecden was In line. I understood that General Thomas did not reach the field until night, having made detour of b'ix miles off his line of march to the ''Boiling I ork" for water, but 1 do not assume, to be accurate as to tbUQ matters. Sheridan, commanding a division in Gilbert's corps, was on the extreme left and next to and In sight of us.

Tho mam lino of battle fronted about cast, toward Perryvllie, but the attacking columns of the enemy, marching from Uarrodsburg to the front, over two miles Veat of Terry where the head of Mc-C'ookV column lay, went almost due south, and, if con tinued, would have struck Gilbert's corps on the left flank, and doubled it op. To repel the advanco of the enemy from that direction, Rousseau's division had merely to face to the left, thus forming a line running norih-rrestandatan of forty-live degrees lo the main line of the army. The first lime of Roost can's di vision was formed some hundreds tf yards north of the Macksvllle and Perryvillo road, the second Itno and re-wrvts in the rear. McCook returned from Bu ell's soon after this line of battle was formed, and Jackson's divis ion -riBscrdwed up. Capt.

Beverly Williams, of McCook' staff, being well acquainted with the ground, said he knew a point two hundred yards in front, from which the enemy could be greatly snnojed by a battery. McCook directed Jackson and Terrill to support Parson's battery of Jackson's command with iulantry, and post it at the point indica-ted by Williams and open upon tbe enemy. The battery and several regiments passed through Rousseau's lines to tho point named, the balance of Jackson's command remaining In the rear. The battery the enemy from an open space on the left and In the rear of the woods. CoL Moore, of the 33d Ohio, of Bousseau'tt command had been thrown forward on the left front Jackson's battery.

In a few momenta a dash of rebel cavalry wa made through those woods, with a view to assault and capture ration's battery, as I believe, but was bandsvmaly repulrcd and driven off by- Colonel Moore. Ia a few minutes after, however, an overwhelm ing force of rebel iulantry advanced, and fiercely assailing Moore and Jackson, at the tame time, wounded and took Moore prisoner, and drove nis regiment back npon tho main Une; routed Jackson's raw troops, 'driving tbem in great disorder from the field, captured Pataone baUery.kUling was engaged with Geneial Terrill, in directing the fire of tho battery. The remainder of Jackson's trocps were ordered up to sup port tbe first, or to redeem the ground they had lost. But they mot with a elml'ar fate, and with tho oxcep-rion of two or three regiments, wero placed Aors de combat" for the rest of tbe day. In this I cast no reflection upon them, fcr they were bravo men, bnt in- efficicntfor want of drill and duciplinB.

Jackson's troops being routed, the whole weight of the rebel Cheat ham's, Bucknet's, Anderson's, and Hardee divisions fell vpon BcttstconV division. The battle thus began about half past 11 o'clock P. and from that time until dark was heard one continued crash of musketry along the line, miaglcd with the heavy report of thirty ot forty canncn, rebel and Federal. There was, perhaps, not an of ten minutes that a beery fnsllado was net takingplace at some point of the line. In a telegram to Jeff.

Davis, after the battle, Bragg said it was tho severest firing be bad ever heard, and for five long hours Routpcan's division, almost single-handed and alone. breatted the pitiless peltlnga of this storm of lead and iron, hurled at them by four times their numbers. Gen. Buell, in hie report of the battle, says that, after the rout of Jackson command, the battle fell principally upon Rousseau's division, and that "troops could not have behaved better." This unequal combat was continued dutiug the whole afternoon. In view of Gilberts eorps, which, by swinging around on its as a pivot, could have stricken the enemy fa the flank a.

jisaaai Election In Caldwell Count, far a Beaker of the Htu of BepT.Mntairtej. 1 OBEDIENCE- TO TBE ORDER OF THE HOUSE 1 of Anrccntativee, I have appointed Mosdxt, tub Svri 16, foi the holding of an election in the coontr of Caldwell, to choose a member la remsent that county In the House of EepreaenUJivoB of IheiJresentGcuerat Assembly, in tho room Fraa-S, olrttSr, raiianed, and have forwarded to the Sheria of the county the proper writ for the purpose. Given nndcr niy hand tFranUortthUiahdayor b-- H. TAYLOR, rpeater ofjthe Hesse of Eeprercnutirej. Smith's force, waa engaged.

Besides Smith, we had about tbirtynre thousand. I suppose the General waa not aware that Withers was ordered to join Kirby Smith, or perhaps Wither, returned before the battle wis ever. Bragg says he took six hundred prisoners, end several batteries. know begot one battery, Parson's, of Jackson's division, and I tneie he got neither gun nor caselon more. I believe he did not get an onwounded prisoner during the day.

After night, a good many wen captured; aome of the reinforcements, and', ew of HcCook's command. The foimcrintho confusion of the fight, which took place about dusk, and tho latter in tho manner following, vlr: Tho MackaviUe road led close by a wood, on the left tts yon go to PerryvUle, occupied during the day by Harris end Starkweather, and abandoned by them when their first lino was forced hick, as before stated. It was tLought tho rertnforccments had possession of that wood after dark, but they had not. The men passed along that road hunting for water; the rebels had placod a picket on it wLlch captured the men as they came up, and quietly sent them oil to tbe rear, and it waa some time before the trick was discovered. Iu this way, Boasseau's Adjutant-Genera), young Jones, very gallant youog man, and several other omcers were captured.

Bonstean himself, at nine o'clock at night, when ttartlng to seo General Buell, got within some fifty yard, of tbia rebel picket, whon he was halted by a private soldier of hi, own command, and the trick whispered in his CRT. Bevcrting again to General Bragg's report, I must ray I think he bad little need to misrepresent any fact connected with that battle, as it is conceded that ho com mauded a well-disciplined, finely-drilled, and bravo army 1 think among the nneetttho world haa ever seen, every man of which will do more justice to tbe United Btatce forces engaged in the battlo than Bragg seems inclined to do. Such, Messrs. Editors, was the battle of Perryvllie, one cf the bloodiest and bardest-fought known iu hit-tory, considering the timo it hutcd, end tho number of foices engaged. This account of it is hastily written anaot well cxpreeKd, but the facts of it will ba sustained and by tho concurrent testimoayof thousands of brave officer.

men. THE BATTLE OF FEKKYVILLE. Louisville, Jan. 22, 18GG. To the Editors of the Louisville Journal: There are many other thinza that returned rebels had better turn their attention to than that of exageeratin? the valiant deeds of the late Confederates at the expense of the armies that battled to cave and not to destroy the Gov ernment.

I had the honor ot Deinc on the side of the Govtrnmeat at the battle of FerryvUls, and litem uhat state to be true. The Federal forced actually engaged in that action consisted of Ueatrol KooKcau's division and a division of rsw troops under General Jackson, many of whom had not been away from their homes more than a month. Late in the evening one tmali brigade and a portion of another came to oar assistance, ana, owing to tne tact oi onr belnz attacked whilst onr troops were scattered fcr miles along one narrow some regl. mtnte oi tne two divisions aoove named were not espaced until after a portion of those flrst ct gaged had been thrown into irretrievable contusion. -i-rJ; Gen.

McCook'd corps was comoosed of the three divisions of Generals Rousseau, Jackson, and Sill, the last of which was on that day many miles away slfirmishing with Kirby Smith's rebel command. our total force engaged in tne Dame could not, therefore, have been more than fifteen thousand men, and I very mnch doubt whether, owing to the facta above stated, the Federal force actuaUr able to pet into action, exceeded two-thirds of that number. According to Bragg's own statements the commands of Hardee and Polk, and other detachments, were in ttuttbsttle. Hence the "best fight of the war," as seen by tbe Louisville Dally Courier, In which 23.000 Federals were barely saved from annihilation at the hands of some 13,000 C. 8.

turns ont really to have been an action In which, to say the least, the Federal troops wen outnumbered. I am not one who would belittle the courage or persistency or ability of an adversary. If I had been a member of the C. S. A.

I would not swear that "the foreigners did it." I would frankly admit the force of American pluck and' energy. The rebel soldiers fenght at Perryvllie, as they have always fought, like brave and determined men. But it is becoming to no man and to no sheet to gloat over and magnify that truth at the ex-penie of facts, and of the men who have saved this Government. My own opinion Is that despite the present aspect of affairs in Kentucky, there are some individuals who will find It eventualy to their benefit, not to override tic bounds of discretion. Respectfully, O.
