Our request to delinquent subscribers, and those owing us for advertising nnd^ob work, (with but two exceptions) have met. wilh no response. ^Yc presume they think the printer like a chameleon, lives on air. We have a very large amount due us, scattered all over the county in small sums, nnd we presume erery one thinks, that all but himself has paid, and that the amount he owes, makes but little difference. During the last three weeks we have collected the enormous sum of five dollars, while our average weekly cash expense is some twenty dollars. Added to this discouraging aspect of affairs, we are notified every few days, that persons owing us for five and seven years subscription, have (niotlost men quietly left for parts unknown. In justice to ourselves, and to the few prompt paying patrons of our paper, we make this statement.

The Secessionists had stored at

tin* Col. Amir rasa IV ot to Visit Frankfort.
Tho Frankfort Commonwealth says: Some days since the Mayor of Frankfort, tho Home Guard and a committee of the Union members of the Senate and House of Representatives addressed an invitation to Col Anderson to visit Fraukfort at his earliest converiicncc, that our people might have an opportunity of expressing their unqualified approval of his late gallant services in defences of the flag and honor of our common country at Fort Sumter. The committee of invitation has received a letter from the Colonel, in which he declines the honor with great reluctance, in consequence of ill health, and his pressing duties to the General Government,
which require him to remain in Cincinnati -'for tho present. Ifis heart and soul are devoted to the maintenance of the integrity of tho Uniou—he will never falter in defense of the flag that floated over him at Sumter. His services in the cause of
flof
tho Government at this time arc of the greatest value. He is native Kentuck/^ian, aud keenly alive to the interests and "welfare of his State aod country. lie is
5
well aware that the interests of the Uniou are the true interests of Kentucky, and 'hence his devotion to that Union.

They want to get 'id of the fight, and they push it upon ,5j Virginia. Virginia in turn has begun to ... ,be little squeamish about it, and she is ^trying to push it over upon Maryland. We idon't want Ujis nuisance among us, and :*hat is more we wont have it. If Virginia don't want it, she can push it back

Aa matter ojf jnterest to oar teaders in Montgomeryr coflfiBtj w^ 'publuh this cplendid National Anthem/adding a few words on the authorship. We print this noble lyrie from Duyckinek's Cyclopaedia of American Literature, wliird it is giveb, from the author's manuscript, by the poet's son-in-law, Mr. Charles Howard, of Baltimore:
TTIE STAR SPAXGLED RAXXEIt. Oh! g*y can yon see, by tbedawn'* early light. What so proudly we bailed at the twilight's last gleaming— Whoso broad stripes and bright stars through the pcriloTirs night. O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming! And the rocket's red pare, the bomb? bursting in air.
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there: Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On that shore, dim'y seen through the mist* of the deep, Where tho foe'* haughty host* in dread pilenco reposes. hat is that which the breeze o'er the towering steep
As it fitfully blows, half cnnccals half discloses? Xow it catches the glenm of the morning'* first beam. In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream 'Tis tho star-spangled banner! Ob long may it wave 0' the land of the free and uio home of tho brave.
And where is that band who so Tauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A home and a country ."hall leave 11s no more?
Their blood has washed ont their foul footsteps' pollution. cfuge
No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh thus be it ever, when freemen 3ball stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation Blest with victory and peace may the heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when onr cause it is just. And this 00 our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the bra\e.
Francis Scott Key was born in Maryland in August, 1779. His father was an officer in the American army during the Revolutionary war. Mr. Key was educated at St. John's College, Annapolis, became a lawyer, and was District Attorney at Washington, when he died there, in January 1843. Chief Justice Taney is his brother in-law.
During the war with the British, in 1814, Mr. Key's friend, Dr. Beans of Marlborough, was arrested and jiut on board of a British nmn-of-war, stationed opposite Fort Molleiiry the bombardment of which they were compelled to witness. Admiral Cockburn had boasted that he would take the Fort in a few hours and the city of Baltimore in two days. Dr. Beans was very harshly treated on board the Admiral's ship. What followed, including the composition of "The Star Spangled Ban ner," we take from an interesting sketch, by Mrs. Anna II. Dorscy, in the last mini ber of the Washington Sunday Chronicle. Aftor relating

It was now sunset, and the friends stood together looking out of a narrow port hole towards the shore. The aspect of everything was peaceful. The last gulden beams of day lingered over shore and wave, like a parting benediction, while, from the ramparts of Fort McHenry proudly waved the American flag, which the God of nations had protected up to that time from dishonor, which in the hostile attack that followed. He shielded and blessed, and which it is our firm hope, He will contiuuc to protect until the last sun that shall ever rise on earth lights up the stars and stripes
with its parting glory. Will that flag bo there, Key, when the morning dawns asked Dr. Beans of his friend. ,,
God grant it!"
It was a terrible night to the two American gentlemen,, whose patriotic hearts throbbed painfully, as the booming coar of the cannons, the explosion of the deadly bombs, the lurid glare that lit the smoke of the battle, the occasional shouts of defiance that rang out during the short intervals between tbc discharges, the sfaarp truYppet tones of command that pealed
above thefdin, fell on, their strained earl'. At lengt&fhe firing fcgaine more Jftquent ai: the g^Sjjf dihra approached. -.Can nrtimagrae~-*ra5therWe~giii?e of Key and his friend was turned to what object they atraped their sight thropgh the morning mist 1
!'But-
if
Dr. Beans was
captured aud treated, Mrs. Dorscy pro cceds thus. But Dr. Beans friends were not idle.— The whole countryside was roused and indignant, and application was made to the President of the United States to authorize some plan for his release. After some delay the President, appointed Mr. Key to proceed, with a flag of truce, to the British admiral, and propose an exchange of prisoners—including of course Dr. Beans. But by the time Mr. Key arrived at Annapolis, Cockburn's fleet had moved up the bay, entered the Patapsco river, and lay off the harbor, preparatory to making an attack on Baltimore. Mr. Key returned to Baltimore as speedily as the slow facilities for travel at that time allowed him, and impatient to obtain the release of his friend, lie lost no time in seeking an interview with Admiral Cockburn and prcseuting his credentials. He was courteously received and invited to diue with the Admiral and his officers. At the table he learned by the conversation around him, that Fort McHenry and the city of Baltimore were to be bombarded that night.— He had heard rumors of this the day before, but the time of the attack was uncertain. After dinner, as a greatfavor.be requested the immediate attention of Admiral Cockburn to his dispatches, that he might return ashore accompanied by his friend before nightfall. But he was blandly informed that it was impossible, ns certain plans had been discussed in his hearing, which made it of importance for him to consent to remain their guest until the following day." This was a trying and exasperating event to the high minded Key. But there was no help for it, and controlling his indignation, he requested the privilege of spending the intervening time with his friend, whom he had not yet seen. This reasonable demand was granted forthwith, and he was conducted to the narrow, comfortless place where Dr. Beans was imprisoned. The meeting \v:is full of emotion on both sides, as may be imagined.
everything' bri shore was
bidden by the-smoke and fog, which hung low and heavily over the river. They feared the worst. there was no sign to tell them that the American batteries had not been sileaced by Cockburn's guns, and Baltimore laid in ashes. Whilst agitated by these fears, the wind suddenly moved through the mist in a few moments it was lifted away, and they saw the Stars and Stripes waving untorn and unscathed from its staff, floating defiance at the foe from every star on its azure field. The revulsion of feeling produced by the welcome sight was too much—they burst into teaas and: embraced each other without speaking a word. Soon recovering, however, Dr. Beans, with his usual impetuosity, sent an exultant huzza out of the port to greet it, while Mr. Key, with a heart full and glowing, penciled on the back of an old letter, one or„two stanzas, and the outline sketch of our splendid national anthem, which, since our proud flag has become consecrated to us by the very odium that the disloyal sons of patriot fathers have sought to cast on it, is now as sacred to our hearts as the songs of Zion that echoed beside the waters of Babylon.
The exchange of prisoners was effected, and Dr. Beans, accompanied by his friend, returned home, with his feelings towards the British no wise improved. ba

DA VIS.
There arc some important facts in the history of this very conspicuous and very despicable person, which have not yet been made known to the American public at large, and which seem to me, to be worth communicating to the world, through the newspaper press. They are instructive, especially at the present time, as illustrating and demonstrating his character and consequently, to some extent/the characters of those who, well knowing him, selected him as the Nena Sahib of the Southern Sepoy mutiny.
It has been repeated!}* announced that Jefferson Davis will command the Southern Sepoys in persou, in the campaign now commencing. I hope he will lead the way on their first battle field, for I mean to be there myself. But I very much doubt whether Mr. Davis has the courage to expose himself to the peculiar risks—not of immediate death, but of capture—which he would incur in that position. Some of our boys" arc bound to have his carcass" alive, if it costs a thousand of their lives.
By the way, if Jefferson Davis should lead the Secession army in person, it. is to be hoped that his memory (or courage) won't fail him, as it did at tho battle of Buena Vista, when he omitted to give the third and essential command to throw his regiment info solid square By the right and left of flank battalions To the color, march The consequence of this hiatus vale defflcndus was that his regiments were left spread in the form of a V, to receive the charge of 4,000 Mexican cavalry, coming down
011
them in full career, on the
slopes of Buena Vista. The survivors of that regiment know that nothing saved them from annihilation but their long practiced, deadly markmanship with rifles.
Perhaps it was well for Jefferson Davis that Zaehary Taylor was his father-in-law, though unwillingly so. A sterner and more Brutus like commander might.have ordered a court martial on the spot that would have condemned him to have been shot for cowardice or moral incompetency.
In my opinion, Jefferson Davis should have been court martialed for his disgraceful misconduct in that battle, as soon as it was decided. Perhaps he would have been but for his peculiar relations to Zacharv Taylor, whose daughter he had married by stcalth, in opposition to the expressed wishes and positive commands of her father. General (then Col.) Taylor said to his daughter, If you marry Lieut. Davis I will never see your face again, dead or alive." The infatuated girl, nevertheless, eloped with Davis, who had takeu advantage of the patronage of his commanding officer, and violated the laws of hospitality by secretly gaining the affections of his daughter. In such abhorrence did Zacharv Taylor bold Davis, that he kept his word with a firmness that may be deemed pitiless cruelty. When in the course of time, his disobedient daughter lay on her death-bed, she sent, to him a penitent message, entreating him to visit
When Davis came under the immediate command of his father-in-law iu the Mexican war, Gen. Taylor refused to recognize him in any way, except officially, as in giving orders, and in other matters of purely military form and duty.
There was a two-fold obstacle to Taylor's performance of his duty in the Buena Vista matter. J)avis was his son-in-law, and was at the same time known to be the object of his hatred and abhorrence. He could not well have escaped suspicion of bad motives or personal feeling, in either view.
A friend to whom I read the foregoing a short time since, gave mo the following sketch of Davis' relations to an old Mississippian, renowned for desperato and reckless courage: Alexander McClung often proved himself, on the battle field and on- the duelling ground, a man of dauntless and unsurpassed valor, showing an absolute contempt for death on every occasion that presented. He killed many men with his own hand, and finally shot himself in the h«ad.
I happened to be in constant communi-
cation with Col. A. R. McClnng* of Miinsaippi,i*1849 and-1850 and had almost daily ednrersatitt with him in relation to promintilt Misnssippians. As matter of courife, Jeff. Davis was frequently named, and for him McClung entertained the mpst supreme contempt. He said that Jeff. Wait'not a mad of ti'tte-courage— he wished to be regarded as a duelist hut in giving a challenge, would always cast about for a noiwjombatant, and would exercise enough prudence to creep out of accepting one from an antagonist over whom he had not a great advantage. McClung said, on one occasion
I am very sorry I ever fought a duel. It is not a pleasant business and yet I would like to fight one more, with one man, and that man is Jefferson Davis, because I think the United States will be better without him. He will not fight me, he is too great a coward. In fact, he is not now, never was, and never will be a brave man, in the true sense of the word. Heis a dangerous and wily politician, loaded down with vanity and self conceit, wishing only for his own aggrandizement, and he cares not at what expense or bow many desolate households. He thinks of himself, and himself only, and I should not be surprised to find him. one of these days, taking such a step in public as will place his neck in a halter, for he is a bad man and a scoundrel, aud I have frequeutly denounced him as such before the people of Mississippi and the dirty poltroou and artful villain never had the courage to rosent it."
These conversations occurred on board the ship, B. Gardner master, on our passage from New York to Valparaiso. Mr. McClung was on his way to Bolivia, as, Charge d'Affaires from the United States. —Dr. Olmstcad.
33T The correspondent of the Philadelphia Enquirer, thus describes the excitement in Washington occasioned by a reported battle between there and Alexandria, about which we received a dispatch on Saturday
THE EXCITEMENT YESTERDAY. WASHINGTON, May 26—Without doubt the scene of excitement presented in this city yesterday has been without its parallel here since the opening of the war. It commenced to in the midst of the solemnities of the funeral of Col. Ellsworth, and spread with the utmost rapidity from one end of the city to the other. The hurried movements of troops, the dash of the artillery, the columns of smoke rising above Arlington Hights, all of which passing before the eye, left no doubt in the minds of any one but that the battle was raging fearfully.
The official dispatches to.Gen. Mansfield were fully credited by him, agd the alarm of their signal guns was fired in consequence. The rapidity with which the regiments answered the call was surprising. The First Ohio was ready in three minutes, and the Connecticut in fifteen minutes. The West Poiut Battery was at the scene of the supposed conflict in le»s than half an hour from tho time it received its orders. General Mansfield headed ihe column of troops, and would have led the army had there been actual battle.
The scene of the movement of troops towards the place of battle was the grandes sight ever witnessed. The march was the rate of six miles an hour. The various regiments,
011
arriving at the Vir
ginia side of the Long Bridge, were very much disappointed on receiving orders to turn back, it being understood that the alarm of a general fight was false. The troops however gave abundant evidence of their efficiency, and came back with the consolation that they may yet have a turn with the rebels.
HOW THE ALARM ORIGINATED.
I have obtained from official sources the manner in which the general alarm originated. The first alarm arose from a company of tho Twenty-fifth New York .Regiment very imprudently going to practice at target- Soon after the picket guard of the New York Twelfth Regiment were driven in. They reported that a troop of cavalry, numbering some six hundred men, had attacked the outposts, and compelled thcni to leave.
The New Jersey regiments were drawn up in line, ready to march. The 12th Regiment (N. Y.) then went in pursuit of the rebels, but they had disappeared. Soon afterwards a few men on horseback fired random shots at the New York Seventh, and left immediately. The alarm now became general, mid the officers, believing that a concerted attack was made 011 the right and left of the different regiments,* a messenger was dispatched in the utmost haste to the telegraph office at the Long 1'ridge, and the information was then immediately sent. to Gen. Mansfield.

examination showed that a sec-
that she tion of the pipe had been cut out and a
Engincer in the navy, superintended tbe repairs of the Mississippi. Recently he resigned and returned to Virginia, leaving this memento of his honor to tho Government. The public mind has been so demoralized by treachery in the leading departments of the Government, that its sensational capacity is exhausted. Such an act in any foreign service would be regarded as a dishonor to the entire service and to tho nation, until its integrity was properly vindicated. Our army and navy, as well as our civil service, have been so degraded bv treachery that a war which shall draw the line between loyalty and treason, and which shall found anew character in deeds of war, is-absolutely necessary to create a service which an honorable man can belong to.
VERY SOTJR GRAPES.—The following is cut from the Memphis Argus of last week: Cincinnati papers of Friday publish dispatches from Washington that orders have gone from the War Department to put Cairo in the. best military condition. We don't want Cairo. It is not of sufficient importance for us to make any fuss about.

A more formidable looking body of savages, we are informed by a gentleman who has seen them, never have congregated on this continent.— Not one of them is under six feet iu height, and, being built in proportion, they look more like modern Goliaths than anything else to which we can compare them. The rifle has been their constant companion almost from infancy, and they are confessedly the best markesmen the world has ever seen. They shoot running or standing with the same unerring certainty, and load and fire with a rapidity which is really surprising. Each man carries, besides his rifle, a scalping knife and tomahawk, and should they encounter Billy Wilson's cut-throats, or Ellsworth's Zouave pet lambs, the Lord have mercy on the hirelings, for it is well known the Cherokees will not. It is gratifying to know that the tribe numbers several hundred, and should their services be needed, they can all be transported to Virginia in forty-eight hours.
COIUTIISSARY MANSUtt.
We learn from the reports of the proceedings of the Legislature, now in session, that the committee, appointed by the House, on the commissnry department developed such a state of affairs, that the House, by a vote of aj'es 70, nays 0, and two present and not voting, passed a resolution "that the Governor be requested to remove the present Commissary General (Isaiah Mansur) for incompetency and malfeasance in office." Served him right. The brand of infamy should ever after attach to the name of that man, who, in a time like this prostitutes official position to his own private advancement. The meanest traitor in the land is a saint beside him. Gov. Morton deserves a large share of the censure which is visited on his old friend and acquaintance, Mansur. Men rarely become thieves suddenly, and the people may well ask if h? appoints such men, well knowing them, what may lie not do when he ventures, however rarely that, may be, to go outside of his old special friends for appointees. We trust the direst, promptest, most fearful vengeance may be visited by the Legislature, the people and our troops, on every officer who be caught stealing from the brave men who have goue forth to defend the honor and integrity of our Government.—Lafayette.
