VOLUME XXIL LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY: THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 6, 1855. NUMBER LVIII. INSURANCE. THE DAILY COURIER. sanctioned and protected by organic laws separated only by that beautiful stream which bears upon its bosom the commerce of all; and as its watei-3 from each side unite and mingle to swell its majestic tide, so our sympathies and feelings ought to unite and ill a common devotion to our.

whole country, and to the perpetuity of that bond of union which makes us one people, and upon the continuance of which depends all the blessings of liberty. I cannot, however, but deeply lament and deplore that wild and reckless spirit of fanaticism which is madly insisting upon a common government for all the Slates, assuming an attitude of hostility to the property of a part. No man can fail to see the dreadful consequent to which this must lead, if blindly persisted in. The people of Kentucky, without distinction of p.arty, are loyal and true to the Union. Believing that, anarchy and despotism would be tiie inevitable consequence of a dissolution, its preservation is with them "a primary object of patriotic desire." May God, in his infinite mercy and goodness, avert every anticipated evil, and keep us forever a united and happy people.

With a firm aud devout reliance upon His divine protection, I am ready to take the oath of office. The arrangements for the supper were very superb ths tables being profusely covered with everything likely to attract the attention of the eye and win the regard of the palate. A magnificent pyramid of confectionary surmounted the central table, while there wei pyramids or the finest fruits, oceans of wines, and solid articles enough to feed tlie armies before Sevastopol. It was amusing to witness the great iaror that pervaded the assemblage when supper was announced. Such a getting down stairs to the dining-roonvwrs scarcely ever seen; and then the spirit with which attack upon the viands was made! Supper over, the dance was renewed, and the small hours chased with flying feet until but a short half hour ago, when the last couple deserted the hall of revelry.

Now ail is trniet; the lights ail out, the guests all SB BE KAY. The Suangrjural Aslrts'oss. At 12 o'clock on Tuesday, Sept. 4, Governor L. W.

Powell introduced Hon'. Charles S. Morehead, Governor elect, in the followin" words: Fellow-Citizens I introduce Hon. Chas. S.

Moreheaa, Governor elect, a gentleman of enlarged political experience and eminent ability, which he will patriotically devote to the public service. On retiring from office, I return to Ihe people of Kentucky my grateful acknowledgments for the kind and indulgent manner in which they have regarded my public acts. Whatever my errors may have been, they have kindly covered them with the broad mantle of their charily. I wish you, sir, a pleasant and prosperous administration; one that will reflect additional honor, dignity, and glory upon the Commonwealth oi Kentucky, and tend to preserve tind perpetuate the rights of the States, the Federal Constitution, and the Union. Mr.

Morehead then arose and delivered the following address; INAUGURAL ADDRESS. Fellow-Citizens: Having been officially notified of nr. election as Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth, and standing bel'or-j you, with ihe kind and flattering introduction of my honored and dis-tihguishtd predecessor, to take the oath of office prescribed by the constitution, I avail myself of the occasion to return my grateful acknowledgments for the honor conferred upon mo, to express the consciousness I feci of the weight of responsibility which it imposes. With a distrustful estimate of my qualifications for this high station, enhanced, as it. is, by an anxious solicitude to meet the just expectations of an enlightened constituency, I fee) tha" I may be allowed to ask in advance some portion of that public confidence in my patriotic intentions, so much of which lias been merited and won by my predecessor; and at the same time fervently to invoke the blessing and aid of that Almighty Being who presides over the destinies of nations and of Stat es, so to sustain and direct me in the path of duty I am appointed to pursue, as will best promote the happiness and enduring prosperity of our beloved Commonwealth.

In every free government, parties must and will necessarily exist, but amid all the olence of excited passions incident to the ordeal of an animated party canvass, an unconditional acquiescence inthe decision of a majority is acknowledged on all hands as the vital element of repni-lican liberty. But, although a majority must rule in our happily organized government, the rights of the minority are alike and equally protected with those of the ma-jorii', and I can never be unmindful, though elevated to office by a party, that I am the Chief Magistrate of the whole people, and bound be every consideration of duty as well as of patriotism to act with unvarying and never faltering impartiality. The constitution of our State secures to all the enjoyment of equal rights and privileges. The native and adopted citizen are placed on terni3 of perfect equality, and while tlie party which has elevated me to office desires a revision and modification of the laws in relation to emigra'iou and na The Inauguration Ceremonies. Special Correspondence of the Courior.

Frankfort, Wednesday, Sept. 5. The holiday robes, donned by the State Capital once in four years, when a new Governor is inaugurated, were sadly bedraggled yesterday by the miserable mud and mist. The weather could scarcely have been more inappropriate. It was an undecided case all day long; at times raining, then holding up, then drizzling and misting, and so doing all sorts of disagreeable things.

Yet notwithstanding this unpleasant freak of nature, the ceremonies were had, the people cheered the old and the new overnor, while the one quitted office with the same grace that the other assumed the Chief Magistracy. The town was full of people the night before, and the morning cars brought so many accessions to to the crowd that the hotel-keepers had to searcli out lodgings for their guests in the houses of private citizens. Still there was not so tremendous an outpouring of the sovereigns as had been anticipated not sc great, indeed, as upon the occasion of Gov. Powell's induction into office, four years ago. But to the scenes of yesterday.

A platform wa3 erected in the front of the State House, near by that dry fountain of water. Thither the Governor elect was conducted by Governor Powell, having been escorted from the residence of the former by a band of German music and a meager procession. Mounting the platform, Gov. Powell, in an eminently graceful and cordial manner, introduced Mr. More-head, spoke in high terms of his excellence as a gentleman and ability as a statesman, and then bowed himself out of office.

The n.w Governor, in return, addressed the people about half an hour reading his "Inaugural" from the manuscript while some one held an umbrella over his bare head. The address, copies of which had been printed and distributed very extensively, indicated tlie course of ttutyto be pursued by Gov. and is in no particular an objectionable document. He concluded by signifying his readiness to take the oath of office, and it was accordingly administered by Judge Monroe. Then the two or three thousand damp spectators applauded with a hearty good will, the band played some stirring airs, the old and the new Governor repaired to the executive office, and thus the whole thing was accomplished.

There was a change in the government of the State, but without, commotion. Honors and office were bestowed upon the choice of the people, but without fcolish parade and ostentation. A faithful public servant withdrew from place and power, conscious of his having performed every duty and of the confidence of those he had ruled. The address to the Governor elect, advertised in the programme to be delivered bv the Hon. H.

Marshall, w.s omitted, and with great propriety. Such a procedure would have given a partizan tinge to the occasion. It was best as it was, wholly disconnected from politics, a mere ceremony incident to taking the oath of office gracefully performed the appropriate simplicity of which must have struck every looker-on. Governor Morehead has appointed Mason Brown, of this place, Secretary of State. Mr.

Brown was formerly Judge of this Judicial District, and is a man of ability. He will make a fine officer, though the place and its duties require no great amount of brains. But why must eveiy office inthe State be delegated to some one in Frankfort? Is there no talent outside of its hill-hemmed limits, or is it necessary to provide for the town in which tlie chief business of the chief men is political gambling. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Fourth and Tlie American Trnimplis at tlc Fa-ench Dxliiltilion. The special Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing on the 16th of August, gives an exceedingly interesting account of the triumph of American Thrashing and Reaping Machines, at a recent grand trial under the eye of Prince Napoleon and a large company of distinguished gentlemen. The trial if the thrasher is thus described: The thrashers were tried before the mowers and reapers. Six men were to thrashing with flails at the same moment that tlie different machines commenced operations, and the following were the results of half an hour's work: Six thrashers with flails Pitt's American Clayton's English Thrasher. Dunoii's French Pinet's Belgium Thrasher 60 litres of wheat.

7-10 110 250 .150 In regard to Pitt's machine the Monileur says: "Pitt's machine has therefore gained the honors of the day. This machine literally devours the sheaves of wheat; the eye cannot follow the work which is effected between the entrance of sneaves and ths end of the operation. It is one of the greatest results which it is possible to obtain. The impression which this spectacle produced upon the Arab Chiefs was profound." The Moniteur might have added that the effect was no less wonderful to tlie Ptince Napoleon, who returned twice to the machine, and declared that it was "frightful to look at," as it mast have been to all those who never before saw a genuine American thrasher. The machine of Dunoir is used almost exclusively in France, but already the demand for the Buffalo machine (Pitt's Thrasher is a Buffalo institution) is so great that without doubt it will supersede all others.

THE F.EAPEKS. There were seven reapers on tlie ground three American, two English and two French but all more or less modification of JicCormick's original invention; and the field had been divided into seven equal portions, each portion containing, an well as my unpracticcd eye could estimate, slightly more titan an acre of wheat. Tlie wheat stood heavy on the ground and was at least one-fourlH fallen. At the tap of the drum the machines all started off together, McCormick's rapidly taking the lead, a position which it maintained to the end, performing task in ten minutes and a third. Manney c.ime out in sixteen minutes, and Wright (the Hussey machine) in eighteen minutes.

The otliers varied in their from half an liour to an hour and a half but, I believe an English machine which did not work well from the start, left the field without accomplishing its task. Afttr tlie three American machines the first one out was Couriner's (Fretch) machine, which was drawn by one horse, and which was much admired for the beauty and regularity of its movements. Tlie excitement during ihe contest could only be compared to an animated horse race. The Americans were collected principally in the neighborhood of the McCormick machine, and at each turn cheered on McKenzie, the able agent who conducted it. In this gronpe the fine form of Mr.

Fillmore, who had climbed on to a shock of fallen wheat, was conspicuous, and he was as excited for the success of Ametican genius as any man on the ground. The machine of McCormick had never, within the knowledge of McKenzie, cut so fast as on that occasion. The machine was drawn by two large horses that accomplished the whole distance at a pace half-walk, half-trot, which would have done four miles and a halt' to. the hour. McKenzie was nearly exhausted -'hen the task was finished, and declared he could no, have gone another half round.

To see his long, brawny arms swinging in unison with the blades of the machine as he raked to one side the great masses of fal'ing grain, was an exciting spectacle to all who saw it, and one not soon to be forgotton. At the end of the perfomancc he was loudly cheered, and the crowd, following Prince Napoleon, the Arabs, and the Jurymen, rushed to the middle of the field to examine fhe conquerm? machine. The Prince, the Arabs, the Jurymen, and the Americans crowded around the modest McKen-sie, and compliment ed him warmly forthe great feat which lie had just performed. aDd the conductor placing French and American flags on tlie machine, it was escorted from (he field in the midst of a dense crowd of admiring people. The American Mowing Machines were also victorious.

There are two American Pianos at the French Palace of Industry, and one of them has recently taken the premium over the three hundred fine French Pianos exhibited. The French artisans arc very much astonished at this fact. From the Hartford, Conn. Aug. 31.

Curious Adultery Case. Those who have been in the habit of reading our reports of the doings of the Police Court will feel interested to know more of the story connected with the prosecution for adultery which was reported yesterday. Tlie history of the parties in this case is, to say the least, somewhat romantic. Oliver Wulcoft, of Avon, claims to have married in August, 183S, Lucy Ann French, in the town of Harwinton. The swain at that time was thirty-seven years of age, ami the damsel but fourteen.

(She is but thirty-one years old now, and has a married A fast lamily that.) Mr. Wolcolt did not remember who married him, or what the man's name was, and had never seen him before that time nor since. He lived with his wife for several years, and had a family of four children. Last winter Salmon D. Case, of Unionville, a youth ot twenty-four years of age, was in the habit of frequently visiting Wolcott's family, for tlie ostensible purpose of "courtinK" Wolcott's daughter.

But his visits continuing after this daughter had gone away, and there bungcousidera-ble intimacy between Wolcott's wifeand Case, Wol- cott began to smell a rat, or something equally strong, and was somewhat troubled. Ab Hit this time Case made a proposition to Wolcott to sell turn his young wife, and the wife was willing to he sold. Wolcott declined doing anything of this sort, and advised Case to keep away from his house, as "he was afraid he would make trouble in tlie family!" Shortly after, Lucy Ann left her husband, went to her father's house in Canton, and, asherfathcrsays, about this time Case came there to work for him. Abont the last of April, Case and Mrs. Wolcott started on a pleasure tour, and brought up somewhere in Oswego county, New York.

Case went to work for a man there, who. after hearing Ids story about himself and the woman, advised them to get married, which tliey did. Ere long Wolcott came to the same place, and found Case and Mrs. Wolcott living together as man and wife. He went into the room at night where they were sleeping together and "had some words" with Case, and rt-monsfrated with him on his conduct.

A day or two after Wolcott hired out to the same man witli whom Case and Lucy Ann were living at that time, and the trio lived together peaceably, excepting that occasionally Case and Wolcott would have a few "hard words" together about Lucy Ann. While there, Case and Lucy Ann tried to persuade Wolcott to gef papers drawn and sign them, giving up his wile to Case. They wmt to various places together in the irs, Case and Lucy Ann sitting lovingly on the same ser.t, and Wolcott sitting by himself on a back seat. Occasionally the latter would remonstrate with the former ou ihe impropriety of their conduct. At Albany, Wolcott was minus funds, and Case let him have enough to come on with them.

They came to Springfield, and went to the same boarding-house, Case and Lucy Ann rooming toge'her, and Wolcott alone. The next day the trio went to a lawyer, and there told their story. Before they left that lawyer drew up two papers, one in which Wolcott leases for life the services of his wife ti.i a liou.cl;rcpcr to Case; in the other he sells all his wife's c'o'thing, furniture, to Case for the con-si 'oration of one dollar, and confides to his parental guardianship his two youngest children. These papers were signed and sealed by ihe three, and duly witnessed by the interesting individual who drew them up. Then they came to this city, the three together in tlie cars, and Case and the woman took a hack and went together to the U.

S. Hotel, and, as is alleged, took a room together. The next morning Wolcott met Case and Lucy Ann in Asylum street, on their way to the he went out, on the cars toward New-Britain with them. The pair proceeded to the woman's father's house in Canton, and Wolcott came back to this city, and made the complaint against Case (and not. bis wife) which has been examined before Jud-je Collier.

There were some interesfing feat ures about the case, among which was the bringing with other witnesses on the part of the defense, to impeach Wolcott's character for ruth and veracity Mr. French, who is Lucy Ann's father. J. T. Kusseil, a druggist, committed suicide at i New Orleans on the 24th.

TS'ew Building Material. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has the following description of the new brick, which it seems are man ufactured in that city: Messrs. Boyler and Sawyer have commenced manufacturing the new composition brick in the rear of the Bennett House, on the squar, It is an invention of Aiuboi.se Foster, of Wisconsin, and a patent was issued last January. Taking for Ihe basis of his operations the fact that hydrated lime, when ex posed to the action of the atmosphere again, takes up the carbonic acid which it lost in the "process of burning and slacking, and so becomes indurated, ho set himself to work to find out the proper proportion of sand and lime to form a specits of sandstone. These he found were one part lime to tivt Ive of santL Eventually, however, he found out that iu order to effect a more perfect combination, the lime and sand should be mixed together in a early dry state in fact the sand as it was dug out of the earth and the lime in the powdery state it acquires after being slacked.

The m.ixiuie is then run into moulds, passed into a machine constructed for the purpose, and subjected to a great pressure as indeed, as one hundred and twenty tons upon a sing'ebiick of the ordinary size. On being removed from (lie machine, the brick presents a white appearance, showing on its surface that it is simply, as yet, a mixture oMime and sand compressed into shape. These bricks are now piled up in regular heaps, so the air may circulate fiecly around them. At this point commences a chemical change. The moisture of the atmosphere enables the lime to again take up the carbonic acid, aud the whole is transformed in the course of a few days to brick of remarkable hardness, ready at once for ordinary building purpose's.

The. surfaces now present the appearance of a whitish sandstone, while month after month, and year after year, the same chemical chance is going on, and the brick become harder and harder, until at length they are as indestructible ns granite itself. Messrs. Boycr aud Sawyer have obtained the right of making this brick in Ohio and Kentucky. They have now one machine in operation that is capable of making 2,000 a day.

This is certainly a valuable discovery, and as lime and sand are more common throughout the country than any other building material, it would seem that it must be an invention calculated to cheapen the cost eif building. Mr. Sawyer tells us that he took a block, subjected it to the action of the lire for six hours, then threw it into the water, without any apparent effect upon its hardness or tenacity. We are infoimed that an experiment ct the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, resulted in proving that an inch tube of this brick would stand a pressure of pounds without breaking, while one of English brick was crushed by a pressure of 500 pounds. We advise all interested in the matter to see the brick and its mauuficture.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. The Yfillow Fever Latest from Xorfclk. Norfolk, City Hospital, Aug. 30. Still does the fever continue to rage with unabated violence, snapping asunder the dearest ties of life.

It seems as if Noifolk and Portsmouth are doomed cities, around which the mantle of deuthis hovering impatient to claim its victims. It is even suggested to save the people, to remove tlie whole population of Norfolk and Ports-month to Old Point or some hoalthy location, that there may be no material for the disease to work upon. It is heart-rending to witness the inroads of the disease in pome families. Both parents are often snatched away, leaving helpless infants to mourn their loss; and the pitiiul cry of "mama. 1 want to go hoxto," when alas they have no home no kin-drt el istottching in the extreme.

The rapidity of the disease, when fatal, together -with its sudoen changes, is most ri maikabie. Sometimes it runs its cntiise in thirty-six hours to a fatal termination; most firqutnt-y if nir.s to the third day. Fatal prestniif will sometimes supeivene in an hour or so after the patient expresses himself as pretty well, and the limbs lire growing cold and the pulse failing; but soon the cry is heard, "Oh, I shall die!" and convulsions of deep stupor close ihe scene. Decomposition occurs ere the vital spark ia fled, and while the last offices are being performed forthe dead, the impatient woimisseen crawling upon its victim. The black vomit is not always a precursor of death.

Many recover after having ejected it. Nor isil an invariable attendant many die without it. The hospital is in a healthy location some distance from Norfolk, aud many that recover may attribute it to the invigoiating atmosphere of the place. Too much pi.iisc cannot be aware ed to Dr. Wilson, a resident physician, and the Sisttrsof Charity and other nurses, who have so nobly volunteered their valuable aid in these trying times.

The buildings use as watdsfor the sick were formerly the race grounds and fen-pin alley. Ibey have beru repaired, and answer very well. What a change Where all was once mirth aud gaycty now is disease and death. On Tnesday we had a change of weather; cold rain set in and continued 1 11 day; and as ali sudden changes of weather promote faialhy, so it has here, those in a critical state dying quickly. There seems to he an increase of new cases in Norfolk since the ruin.

In ibe hospitals intermittent fever has attacked the convalc-sent. Epioesiics at Night. Epidemics having long been observed to rage with particular fury during the night. The Westminister Review givs the following simple explanation: It is at night that the stream of air nearest the ground must alwavs be the most chaigcd with the particles of animated matter given out from the skin, and deleterious cases, such as carbonic acid, the product of respiration, and the sulphuretted hydrogen, (he product of the sewers. In day, gases and' vaporous substances of all kinds rise into the air by (he refraction of the heal; at night when the refraction leaves them they fall by an increase of gravity, if imperfectly mixed with the atmosphere while the gases evolved during the night, instead of ascending, remain at nearly the same level.

It is known that carbonic acid gas at a low temperature, partakes so nearly of the nature of a fluid that it, may be pouted out of one vessel into another; it rises ot the temperature at which it is exhaled from the lungs, but its tendency is towards the floor, or the bed of the sleeper, in cold aud uuventilated rooms.

Both the native and adopted citizen are subject, to the same penalties for a viola-lation of the laws, and so far as I am concerned shall receive equal protectioniu Ihe exercise of their civil, political, and religions rights. The functions of religion and the rights of conscience are sacredly exempt from all civil jurisdiction, and I not add that all religious sects or de nominations are entitled to and shall receive equal protec tion. In taking "care that the laws be faithfully executed," a rigid accountability and a faitiii'ul discharge of duty will lie exacted of all eifScers who are in any manner subject to Executive cout: ol.

I need scarcely say that the execution of the laws, duly enacted by the constituted authorities in a government like ours, is absolutely necessary. Here the law alone is supreme, and while it exists every good cilizen will yield to it a ready and willing obedi-euc3. The severity of our criminal and penal code is mitigated by vesting in the Executive the power of pardoning Climes and remitting fines and forfeitures. The existence of such power implies that cases may arise where it ought to be exercised; but I am well aware of the caution and circumspection which ongnl to be observed in such cases. The pardon or remissiou is an except on to the general operation of tlie law, and that exception be founded ou some good and sufficient con-tro'liug reastm, To maintain the public faith and credit of the State by the prompt payment of the interest upon the publi; debt, and to lessen that debt as speedily as may be consistent with our financial resources, is comprised within the list of executive duties.

It is a source of gr. tification and pride that the constitution of our State has dedicated an ndeqnate fund for that purpose, which can in no event be diverted to any other, and if wisely managed, the time can never arise when we will be unprepared to meet every public engagement. Connected with this subject is the dedication by the same instrument of a fund to the cause of ponu-lar education. To preserve this fund sacred and inviolate, is not less a duty enjoined by law than by the dictates of enlightened patriotism. In a preamble to one of the earliest acts of our Legislature it is declared that, experience has shown that the best mca-s of preventing tyranny would be to illuminate, as far as possible, the minds of the people at large, that they may be able to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to defeat its pur-posos and that, to promote the public it was expedient that hose persons whom nature hath endowed with genius and virtue should be rendered by liberal education worthy to receive and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow-citizens; and that, to aid and accelerate this most desirable purpose, must be one of the first duties of every wise government.

Concurring fully in these wise sentiments of our fathers, I con-gratu ate my fellow-citizens at large upon the progress which our common school system has already made, and upon the renewed and increasing intereit which is almost everywhere manifested in its favor, as recently shown bv the overwhelming vote in favor of additional taxation to extend and enlarge itsbcnefits. The currency of the State is too intimately associated with the public prosperity to be omitted on this occasion. A sound, safe, and at ail times convertible medinm of exchange can alone secure to labor its just reward and mitigate the disastrous effects of those commercial revulsions hich seem to be the almost necessary consequence of unrestrained paper issues. As far as Executive influence can properly extend, I will ende vor to preserve our currency in its present sound condition. It is too often the case in times of great public prosperity that banks are tempted to extend their issues beyond the bounds of a prudent discretion, aud when a reaction ensues a sudden curtailment is seriously and injuriously felt by the whole comnra-nitv.

It is not "les the part of prudence and wisdom in our banks, than it would be conducive to the public to avoid the undue expansion of the currency on the one hand and the sndden and unnecessary curtailment of it on the other. In her Federal relations, Kentucky has never ceased to look to the Union of the States as the best and only security for their peace and happiness. She requires all her officers to take an oath to support the Constitution of the States. She feels that the only certain guaranty of liberty is a faithful and honest support of that sacred nostra-, meut in all its limitations as well as its grant of powers. While she cautiously refrains from any invasion of the rights of otliers, she will be steadfast and firm in the maintenance of her own.

She cherishes towards all the States the highest fraternal regard, not merely on account of a common bri-ilheihood of union, but from the additional bonds of a common sympathy and common interest. In those dangerous conflicts of opinion, where parties have been arrayed by a sectional line, she lias always acted ia a spirit of conciliation and calm forbearance. We occupy the same great valley in commevo ith States differing from us as to domestic institutions, Gov. Powell takes his departure to-morrow morning for his home in Henderson, and will be escorted to Louisville by a committee. He leaves office with the esteem of all parties, fi he has ruled well and ably.

A more strictly impartial, fearless and hospitable executive officer Kentucky was never honored with. Elevated to the position from comparative obscurity an untried man lie proved the wise discrimination of his friends by discharging manfully every duty. It were useless to specify the many public acts for which Gov. P. deserves credit.

His course during tlie last session of the Legislature, when the bank bills were pending, is well remembered, and we presume that no one now doubts the wisdom of his course at that time. It evidently preserved the State from hopeless condition of financial anarchy. To the shades of retirement, as a cultivator of the soil, the best wishes of tlie people of Kentucky accompany the late Governor. He was clear in hi3 high office, and yet other places of honor and trust await him But of politics, jam satis. In Frankfort balls can be found nothing exceptionable, however great a distaste we ma3' have for her juggling propensities when an office is in question.

The great feature of the occasion was the hall last night. The mirth and revelry and the maddening music of Strauss' band, has scarcely yet died away, though day -light streaks the east, for the folks danced all night and went home with the girls this morning. A mere glance in the ball-room was like a draught of some intoxicating liquid. There was beauty to inspiregallautry to emulate, and that poetry of motion, measured by feet, as is the case with pentameters, hexameters, Of the beauty it is difficult to write without making freer use of tropes, metaphors and descriptive adjectives than I feel just at present able to do. There were beauties of the Juno order, and beauties spirituclle.

There were forms of airy lightness and fyms of majestic presence. There were faces perfectly chiseled in feature, and fresh and rosy in complexion, and faces "sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought" beaming with intellectual beauty. But whv generalize when we can specify certain ladies as specimens of the classes of beauty whereof we were discoursing. There were at the ball, among others, the following: Miss Dcsdemona and Mrs. O.

Lexington; Miss Lou of Louisville; Misses M. K. and B. of Franklin; MissE. Woodford; Miss of Garrard; Miss L.

B. and Mrs. T. L. of Newport; Miss Belle and Mrs.

D. P. of Louisville; Miss A. of Frankfort; Misses T-s, of Franklin Miss of Scott, Misses A E. and 1, of Louisville; Miss S.

of Woodford; Mrs. of Scott; Misses and A. T) of Frankfort; Miss 1, of Georgetown; Miss D. of Mississippi; Miss S. A.

and Miss Bettie 1, of Louisville; Miss Frank- for1; "Rosa," the poetess, Miss B. of Jefferson county; Mrs. S. M. and Mrs.

J. G. of Lex ington; Sirs, of Louisiana; Miss A. and Miss M. of Lexington; Mrs.

J. J. of Frankfort; Miss M. of Mississippi; Misses and of Mississippi; Mrs. B.

J. of Louisville; Misses ds, of Scott Mrs. J. of Scott; Miss of Louisville; Mrs. C.

of Fayette; Mrs. R. of Lexington. So extensive a catalogue of beauty it would be difficult to compile from any similar concourse. Louisville it will be seen was largely represented and boro off the palm, as was confessed by all present.

Our city had noble looking repiesentatives in her score of matrons and maidens. Among the distinguished members of the other sex were four Governors, Crittenden, Powell, and Morehead, with an innumerable quantity of militia colonels, State officers, county magistrates, and email men of great stint and pretence. There was of course the usual quantity of good and bad dancing, a great deal of bowing and smiling, and capital music from Strauss' incomparable orchestral band. et flROROK ROESBERG.
