Many ola line Whigs and old line Democrats have gathered at the shrine of Ash-, land, to smoke thecalumct of peace, and at the altar vow to each other eternal fealty to the Constitution as it is, and war toth knife against all men and all parties who seek to subvert the established and fundamental principles of the constitution and the supremacy of the laws of the land.

THE CLAY liARIIECUE. LEXINGTON, August 12, 1867. MU. EDITOR:—This day lias beeri a glorious one for tho Democracy of Kentucky mid especially of Ashland District. 'Ihc town at sunrise was alive with preparations for the barbecue to come off to-day at Ashland, and soon after breakfast every avenue to this beautilul town was thronged with people, on horseback and in carriages, making their way to the grounds—the famous "Ashland." The place is one and a hall' miles from town and is certainly one of the most beautiful country scats on this /side of the Ocean. As you approach it from town, first on your right is an extended blue-grnss pasture of a light tinted green, looking as fresh as if it had grown the night before. Next is the plateau on which the house stands, and between it .and the road, a heavy old looking grove, •extremely dense, of every variety of trees, planted by llenry Clay himself, through which winds a enrriogc-way to the house und next after this plateau and grove is an vx tended stretch of open woodland pasture Whig party most of its brains and a majorns beautiful as mind can conceive, covered jity of ti virtue.

Breckenridge is indeed a very able man and to his efforts much of the late triumph is due.

It had been arranged for t«ov. Willard to address the meeting, at length, after dinner, but the crowd was impatient, and would not submit to the programme and after Mr. Clay had closed, the shouts for Willard compelled him to speak out of the order, lie made one of his happiest efforts, full of bold thoughts and vivid pictures, and was much applauded. Willard has evidently made a great repu-

Willard was followed by Anderson, of I eyes were passionately gazing upon the Ohio, whose speech was well received.Preston made a speech of very great ability, and an adjournment took place for dinner, which occupied an hour. After dinner, John L. Robinson and Lieut. Gov. Hammond wore loudly called for. Their speeches were finely received. There is no doubt but the speeches of Indiana orators have already and still will affect Kentucky politics, and produce many changes. Other speeches were made during the afternoon, by Kentucky speakers, among them Holt, of Louisville, Talbott, and other#, and the crowd, after feasting all day on bright, beautiful and bold thought, kept pressiug around the stand until late in the evening, still anxious to hear. In the afternoon, a short distance from the Bpeaking stand, a ring was formed, and the band •track up a lively tune,: and the boys and girls .mingled in the festive dance upon the beautiful green lawn.

A COMET APPROACHING BOTH TO THE EARTH AND TO THE SUN.—A

circular from

tho editor of the Astronomical Journal announces the discovery by Dr. Peters, of the Dudley Observatory, Albany, of a faint comet in the constellation Camelopardalus which has neither nucleus nor tail, and is without any well-defined outline. From his observations of July 25, 26 and 27, Dr. Peters has computed parabolic elements which show that the comet is approaching both to the earth and to the sun, and has a chance to become of a splendid appearance nuar the time of its perihelion, at the end of August or beginning of September.— By comparing these elements with those computed for the orbits of ether comets, and recorded in the catalogues, Dr. Peters infers that this comet is not identical with any of those expeeted to return during or about this.year—as D'Arrest's de-Vico's Charles V's, or. his own thirteen -years' comet.

MORMOXISM: ITS LEADERS AND DESIGNSi

We have had a great many sketches of the Mormon people and polity written by persons who knew nothing about them, and drew.upon their fancy for their facts we have also had some sketches written by renegade Mormons, who were even more violent than the- first named class of writers in their denunciations of the abbmination^ of Utah but we have not hitherto had any. account of Mormonism written so* intelligently and so .moderately as a work with the above title, by John Hyde, Jr.

The author is a: young Englishman who embraced Mormonism and was baptized in that faith in. 1848,-when he was only fifteen years of age. Two years afterward he was ordained a Mormon priest and traveled through England preaching until 1851, when lie was transferred to the Mormon mission in France. In 1853 he emigrated

to is evident therefore that he has had the varied experience requisite to enable him to tell truly what Mormonism is. We extract a portion of his skctch of Brigham Young:

It may be interesting to ask what is his ied, and enthusiastically taught it. As deappearance and style. In person he is voted to Smith as Kimball is^now to himlarge and portly, has an imposing carriage self, he reverenced him as a Prophet, and and very impressive manner To pass him loved him as'a man.

Brigham in a counsel and Brigham in the pulpit arc not the same. Under the force of his prophetic afflatus, he talks till, on reviewing his remarks, he has to say, "Well, well, words arc only wind." This is a remark he once made. In council lie is calm, deliberate and very politic neither hastily decided nor easily moved when

One of the severest tests of greatness is the power to completely center in oneself a thousand interests and the deep affections of a thousand hearts. All really great men have done this. Philosophy has had its disciples, adventurers their followers, generals their soldiers, kings their subjects, impostors their fanatics. Mohammed, Smith, Brigham, have all been thus. No man ever lived who had more deeply devoted friends than Brigham Young. The magnetism tli.it attracts and

The whole secret of Brighain's influence lies in his real sincerity. Brigham may be a great man, greatly deceived, but he is not a hypocrite. Smith was an impostor that can be clearly established. Brigham Young embraced Mormonism in sincerity, conscientiously believed, faithfully practic-

pared to lead his people in sacrifice and want, as in plenty and ease. No holiday, friend, or Summer Prophet, he has shared their trials, as well as their prosperity.— He never pretends to more than "the inward monitions of the Spiritand not as Smith, to direct revelations and physical manifestations.

No man' prays more fervently, or more frequently than Brigham Young. No man can more win the hearts, or impress the minds, of his hearers than Brigham, while in prayer.. Few men can persist in believing him a hypocrite, after hearing him thus pray, cither in his family, in private meetings, or in public. I am, convinced that if he be an impostor, he. has commenced byimposing on himself.

Brigham, however deceived,' is still a bad man, and a dangerous man and as much more dangerous, being sincere in thinking he is doing God's work, as a mad man is than an impostor one being accessible to reason and inducement, and the other knowing no reason but impotence, and no inducement but constraint.

A DItr ADFUL TALE OF A SKIKT, Dearly and devotedly did the learned and popular Dr. Fliegcnblade, of Dresden, love his wife. In his eyes, no step so light,

no cheek so pure, no eyes so radient as

hers: In the eyes of all the habitues of the promenade of Dresden,- iio carriage so graceful, no taste so exquisite, no skirt so ample. Broad, however, as was the expanded flounce of Madame Fliegenblade, the fond husband determined to appeal to his art in chemistry to make, her the subject of a hopeless and unattainable envy. Di

Even Ins enemies have to acknowledge a great charm in the influence he throws around him. The clerks-in his office and his very wives feel the same veneration for the Prophet as the most ivspectable newcomer. It is thus also in public orations lie soon winds a thrall around his hearers. Bad jokes, low ribaldry, meaningless noise and pompous swagger that would disgust when coming from any one else, amuse and interest from him.

It is useless for us to speculate upon the probable fate of Madame Fliegenblade. Her husband is expecting her every day to drop from the clouds into his arms, where he lost her but we learn that Leverrier, the great astronomer at. Paris, has computed her descent tobe dne in 271 days, 6 hoars, and 22 minutes and tfaat instMd of settling at -Dresden, she will drop in the Oanafy Xslmds.

The present rebellion has summoned more men into the field than at any former period of the reigning dynasty yet on the other hand, the imperial army has been gratcly thinned by desertion to the banners of the insurgents. With that care for family life which distinguishes the government, many exemptions are granted from military service. An only son, or a son who supports his infirm parents, arc both exempt, and the ju.s libcrum also prevails, since the father of a numerous family of sons is deemed to have discharged his share of duty to the commonwealth. In a country where the means of living are cheap and abundant, and the simple accouterinents of war arc of home fabric, and of an ordinary kind, the cost of arming aud maintaining a numerous militia is comparatively slight aud without seriously taxing his finances, the emperor can bring into the field a host at least as numerous as the kingdoms of France and Prussia united.— But number would be the only point of resemblance, sincc in action a few European regiments would be able to discomfit the largest army of the celestial empire.

To an invader from Europe, the naval force of China is less formidable than even to its army. In nothing, indeed, has the conservative spirit of the people displayed itself more strikingly than in its naval architecture. With a coast extending-near-ly 2500 miles— with a few capacious, and with the aid of art almost impregnable harbors—anil with an unsurpassed inland wa-ter-communication, the Chinese have made little or no progress in navigation since the fourteenth century. Five hundred years after Marco Polo described their marine.. Lord Macartney saw in their ports the very same kiijd of awkward, antiquated,^ and" unwieldy vessels aud the accounts of recent travelers confirm the description of Lord Macartney. Their anchors are still of wood their ropes and sails of bamboo and law or unaltcreable prejudice still prescribes the form of the stern aud the rudder, and the number of compartments in the hold. Their military navy is indeed unworthy of the name it is a mere flotilla, whose principal occupation is that of transports for soldiers or revenue cutters—and the Admiralty at Pekin has frequently been brought to the disgraceful necessity of taking into its pay a few serviceable pirate schooners, or submit tof the pillage and blocading of its own harbors. Nevertheless, the Chinese will fight to the death against the barbarians, as they term all foreigners, and thus in the struggle that is approaching, an appalling sacrifice of human life may be anticipated.

THE SHADOW OF A COMING EVENT. The Troy (N. Y. Daily Times, a zealous Fremont paper, alluding to the articles censuring the Republican party published in the BuiFalo Republic, says:

THE ARMY AFfD NAVT OF CniKAi What are themeans of China for defence? The army is powerful with regard to numbers, but it is feeble in other respects.-:— The native soldiers, as we learn from a a high authority, are for the most partmilitia, and as they are premitted to follow iKeir peaceful avocations for at least twothirds of the year, they present about as millitary an aspect as citizen soldiers -usually wear. The Westminster Review informs us that their Ordinary employments' are-to guard the city gates, arid to act as custom house officers.. Therr hemlcts arc made of "paper, their boots of a coarse satin, and their uniform consists of a wadded gown and a quilted petticoat. Instead of a military salute, they acknowledge the presence of an officer by falling on their knees and warm weather they make great use of sand. The reader may form some idea of the charactcr of the Chinese troops from this brief sketch.

But, as already intimated, the commercial force of the military and naval establishment of" China la like its population,' enormous, since all males are enrolled for service at a certain age. This levy enmasse, indeed, is rarely if ever, called for and extraordinary contingencies, such as insurrection in the provinces, or the suppression of bands of robbers, arc met by extraordinary levies in the immediate or adjoining districts.

But I must reserve for another letter a narrative of the manner in which Sarah freed herself from her husband, and swindled his lawful heirs of his property.

Arc the privileges of birth about to disappear May the heavens preserve Germany from so profound an evil! In order, therefore, to avert the latter, we beg to acquaint all the princcs of

General Harris' majority in the State, from present appearances, cannot be niuch less than ten thousand, while it may leap up, from aught any one can calculatc from1 the present aspect of the political battlefield, to fifteen thousand. It is the most, remarkable result of a political contest in Tennessee that has transpired since the Harrison Whig.deluge of 1840 and like that, marks anew era of the party politics of the State.

There was really no such project, but when it was mentioned in the Legislative Assembly, there was a gr^nd excitement. Several members denounced the scheme as an "infernal one" declared that tli'eir greatest happiness would be to get rid of British protection, and that union with Greece was their sole wish and desire. The English press are very indignant at all this, aud express the hope that if such scones and fntch "treasonable" opinions are repeated, "this miserable pretence of a liepublic will be swept away and the Islands declared crown colonies of the United Kingdom." The Times, which utters this wish, seems amazed that among these Greek islanders there should be any such feeling as that of Greek nationality, or that there should be an inability to coinprchcnd the amazinghappiness and honor resulting from being subjected to British "protection."—' Philadelphia Bulletin.
