The action of the President is fully endorsed in

The relations; of the government with foreign

It is believed no conipronii-c propositions will

The Imperial Appearance cf the White
House. The Washington correspondent of Willis Home
Journal makes an item in one of his letters about
the appearance of the V bite House, which we
transfer lo onr columns as follows : Until now, the Presidential mansion h is always
seemed lo me slenderly seaved the one or two shabby coated servants who were tobe si eu occasionally in the lonely ocrridors, not being enough for the proper stateliness of thc dwe lling of the Chief Magistrate. Hut it is surprising what an im'
provcrp.cnts is made by thc multiplying of uniforms and sentries. The noble gates seem for the first time suitably attended, and the thick spirklings of oflieers among the crowds in the halh and avenues, aocord rightly with the architecture and associations. With the playing of the red coated Marine Band in the grounds thc oth;r afternoon the pay crowil of ladies ami soldier, and the President family in the half circle of the b.ik'ony it was r ally dillicult not to believe one's self in Vienna, the White House, for once, looking sumptuously imperial. Such is the gorgeous description of the wrronndingsof the White House, as it appears un.hr occupancy of Honest Oil Abk L'.vcoln, lhe rail-splitter. Forniley it was plain' v, served and but few servants appeared wiihiu edifice. The Chief Miigistrate had no bodyguard; no platoon ol soldiers infested the avenues to the dwelling of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation. It was in fact thc paragon of Republican simplicity. Hut how changed since Abiiaimm, the Illinois t-ail -splitter be aine its occupant. It now looks "sumptuous imperial," and leminds th bewildered behol I er of scenes in Vienna. What a change ! How soon, alas how ill this imperial display give way to the former simplicity of the Hxceutive mansion. May the time speedily come. -State Sentinel.

Last night a meeting was held of Kentuckians
at present in the city, to consider the condition of
a'l'iirs an I the eo.irse of that State in the pre-ent
crisis. About thirty prominent and influential
represent at've men from in-arly all tlie Congres
sional districts were present. To avoid any im
putation of improperly endeavoring to influence
their conduct, the members of Congress from
Kentucky were not invited to the meeting. Upon
a comparison of opinions, a perfect unanimity was
found to exist in this meeting. Without any
previous inquiry about each other, they were all
Union to the core, and convinced that it is the duty of Kentucky to stand by the government at
all hazards, and to vote for men and meant, to any
extent needed, for the vigorous pr neeutiou of the war against the southern rebel. It is the opinion
of these gentlemen that the masses of the people
in Kentucky are much in advance of their repre
sentatives in Congress iu reference to the w ar
question, and that they are utterly opjiosed to
the heresy of secession, and are burning with im
patience to coerce its leaders into obed'cnce tothe
constitution and thc law. The result of the
meeting last night will probably be an address to
the Kentucky delegation iu Congress, urging a
vigorou! support of the measures brought forward
