From the Louisville Journal, April 17. ' Gen. VVillcox, who is now n mand at Lexington, was aerenaded a -lew eveniugs niñee. The Observer faya the (ireiieriil, being leudly called ior, appuai'ed and made a brief but munt mpressive :ind eloquent speech in acknowledgeineiit oí tlie coinplunent. - Hia reinaiks were received with enthusi;istic eheering, as they doserved lo be. He s a graoefui, Ruperb rpeak3r, and as such impressed liimsulf upon all who heard him. He tpeaks with the ease and tíuency ol one aouustomed to dresa popular asseuiblages, und gavo utierance to the most eloquent and patriotic sentiment, aüsjring the crowd that he had cjine here to discharge his wtiole di't', and would do it ia good j faith. Ho had no ympathy with lebeldom oí' those who favor it, and would sce that the recent order ol Gun. Burnhide should bo onforced, It, was his purpose to cniííh out the rebelüon, and ho would spare no .Tneans it his dfcpomd to do it, Whatever of military kill or power he piMíessed should be devotecl toaccomplish that devouily desiredeud. Hespoke eneouragingly of the prospecta of' the Union arinius, and told the Union men in his hearing to be of good cheer, iortheclotuls that now darken the heavens will soon be dispersed. Those who are now warriog to break our glorious government cannot, shall not succèod in their wicked design, The General evidently is the right man in the right place. Wo only regret that all the Union men in .Lexington could not have been present to hear bis patriotic and eloquent address.
