To the People of Kentucky.
Tba Democrat party, of tbe United State
-hare Deen call upon by tbe national JJem-
ocratic Executive Committee, to assemble
-at Chicago on tbe 4th July, 1864, and aelect
candidates for President aud Vice President
of the tin i ted States,' Io response to this
Invitation, the Democracy of Kentucky
ought to call a Convention, for tbe purpose
of appointing. Delegates to the Chicago
, Democratic Convention, and an Electoral
Ticket for . this State.
Tbe Democratic party of Kentacky,
which has for many yean, held in equi
poise tbe political power of tbe State, and
which at this time is believed to bold e de
cided majority, could not fail to respond to
the summons from sister States to the Chi-
cago Convention, without a culpable neg
lect of doty. The principles of tbst party
wmcn would nave prevented c:v:l war,
usurpations, and calamities under which we
now suffer, are too well known to need any
repetition, loey are tbe only means un
der heaven by -which our countrv can ba sa-
.yea irom otter rain and restored to peace,
pbostpebitt and ustox A crisis so terrible
arouses all who are not lost in the madness
of times or the trammels and corruptions of
party to tbe necessity of rallying around tbe
standard of the Democracy, and making one
nnited effort to bring back the Federal ad
ministration within the .limits of constitu
tional power and patriotic action.
Tbe Senatora and Representatives of Ken
tacky at Washington (with the exception
of the three abolitionists) overwhelmed by a
sense ot tbe impending danger to tbe Repub
lic, neve earnestly and unanimously recom
mended the union of all the ppponets of the
administration io Kentucky in a convention
to bs beld on tbe loth of June, for tbe pur
pose' of sending delegates to the Chicago
Democratic convention, and sustaining the
action of that body.
Tbe Democrats of tbe State have conced
ed to these i extaordinary circumstances all
that liberality would auggest or patriotism
permit. Tbey have courteously responded
to tne proposition, and known to tba Cen
ira. union conservative Committee their
11- -
willingness to co-operate in carrying out
snggession of the Congressional Delegation
under tbe call prepared and eigned by the
I congressmen, but the offer was declined.
It is needless to say to any one accquain
ted with Kentucky politicks, that tbe Dam
ocrauc party oi Keniucsy will not be in
any sense represented the Convention which
bss been called through tbe Louisville Jour
nal for tbe 25th of May, nor is it necessary
to mention any of the well-known reasons
wby such a representation (under present
circumstances) is a moral impossibility,
Under these circumstances, we believe,
tbe Democratic party in their convention at
Chicago will be sustained by the great mass
of tbe people of Kentucky, excepting only
tbe violent ultras of abolitionum. and disu
nion. This will be an impressive admoni
tion to our Federal rulers that tbe career of
tyranny and profligacy now in progress will
not be ' BSDCtioned by tba people at tbe
polls. '
we, your fellow citizens, now call upon
the Democracy of Kentucky and all patri
otic conservatives wbo are willing to co. op
erate with tbe great party for our country's
redemption, to rally in each county imme
diately upon seeiogthia call, and hold meet
ings to send as delegates to tbe State Dem
ocratic Convention, to be beld in Louisville
on tbe 15th of Jane, 1834, men wbo will
properly represent their sentiments men
wbo stand firmly in tbe principles of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Mad son and Jackson, and
wbo adhere to the Constitution of the Uui

About 3 o'clock P. M., yesterday, a short

and cannonading. The firing occurred
while a charge was being made by Wright's,

half a mile in our front, which it was desir
able to obtain for a purpose.

in line of battle for three days. On Sunday
evening the enemy endeavored to pass
through Dog Gap, but were gallantly re
pulsed by. Gen.McNair's brigade, and Gen.
Grigsby's dismounted cavalry. Our casual
ties were very small. Tbe enemy left fifty
dead on the field, and had about two hun
dred wounded. We captured about fifty
prisoners. If tbey bad succeeded in driving
ns Irom the Gap, It would have been an im
portant point gained, as they would then
have been able to turn onr left. Duriothe
day, yesterday, tbe enemv were massing
heavy forces in oar front, trying to develop
the position of onr lines. A heavy artillery
duel was going on tbe greater portion orthe
day. About 4 o'clock on yesterday evening
the enemy made three efforts to storm our
rifle pits on the brow of the ri.a f.nin..
Mill Creek Gap. Tne enemy advanced in
heavy columns around the points of tbe
bills. Our i.fficers ordered their mn to re
serve their fire until the enemy should get
in short rsnge. When tbey got within
seventy-five yards, the order to fire was
given, when volley after volley was poured

ard fell bck beyond the hill, and reformed
tbeir lines again and advanced to tbe charge,
but the same bloody welcome was tendered
them, and again ibey sought safety in flight.
A tbird time tbey endeavored to turn our
left in order to eufiUde our works, but tbe
movement was promptly met by tbe officers
in command and tbe enemy were driven in
great confusion from thefieid. Many of the
enemy were seen to fall as each volley was

Tbe battle-field correspondent of the N.
Y.; Tribune, writing from Butler's army,
ays of the late surprise of the latter by
Beauregard:
"On tbe left of tbe turnpike, on which ia
a large brick house, where were Gen. But
ler's day headquarters, tbe Half-way-House,
half a mile southward,: being his 'former
stopping-place, was Burnbam's brigade, 1st
Division, 18th Corps; lapping this, and
crossing the pike, was WisUr's, next' on tbe
right Heckman's a fighting brigade all
tbree being of '.be I8tb Corps. .About five
o'clock yesterday morning tbe rebels took
advantage of tbe heavy fog and of reinforce
ments which they have undoubtedly re
ceived, and turned the rigb t of our line,
compelling onr retirement to our old posi
tion here. They came on quietly, favored
by tbeir superior knowledge of tbe ground,
but whether any one is justly asaeoable to
the charge of negligence remains to be de
cided.
"In one place on the right - tbey were
beard by the 93th New York, then assigned
to Heckmao, but called out, begging tbera
not to fire on tbeir friends. Replying to an
interrogatory as to (what regiment tbey
were, tbey answered, 'Twenty-third;' and
when tbe name of tbe State was called for
tbe voice said, 'Twenty. tbird Virginia; give
'em h II, boya ' Taken by surprise as tbey
were, our men fougnt gallantly agtinst an
army they could not see, but tbe right was
turned, and there was no regaining the lost
foothold. Tbe right fell back.
"The right center contested its ground,
but was ordered to retire. The left lollow
ed,and the rebels repossessed themselves of
tbe captured works." . '
Tbe correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
Inquirer says;
The capture of Gen. Ileckmn has been
coi firmed. He was taken wblle fi'htin

brigade bore the runt ot the engagement on
Monday, and suffered severely.

ward III, King of England, was once star
tled on his throne, and ' had his - relentless
grasp weakened by tbe published words of
a young French girl, a saint, an ideal and
sublime enthusiast, who cried forth, 'I can
neversee the blood of Frenchmen flow with
out weeping.' In hundreds of thousands of
homes iu tbe United States there is to-day
a sweet, pure and saintly prayer going forth
that this wicked shedding ef American
blood may soon cease. Indeed, from every
pure heart in the land these words are
felt, if "not uttered: I can Dever see " the
blood of an American flow without weeping.
Give this feeling time and it will save our
country. -Already it bas commenced to un
dermine the cruel arsenal of war. If tbe
President's nature were not a coat of mail
against all humane and virtuous impres
sions, be would, even now, feel this vague
pulsation, this budding patriotism, this deep
and passionate hatred of tbe war, which
will surely, at last, overthrow bis party, and

It was near Damascus that Saul of Tarsus
