BOWLING-GREEN, KEN. JUNE 19.

The President of the United States and Gen. Jackson arrived at this place on Thursday evening last. Learning that the President would be here about that time, several gentlemen of the town and neighborhood were deputed to meet the President and the General at South Union, about 13 miles from here, to welcome their arrival, and to invite them and their suite to take dinner the next day in town.

A very excellent dinner was prepared for them at Vance's Hotel, to which they sat down, with a large assemblage of the citizens from the town and country. No where, and by no people, have the President and the General been received with more cordiality and with more pleasure and respectful attention than by the people here, yet all the flummery of ostentatious parade was omitted. Nor are we disposed to believe, that they, on that account, less estimated their reception here. Men who have devoted so much of their lives, and who have become so distinguished in the service of the Republic, we presume will always be more gratified at the observance and prevalence of the plain, cordial and respectful deportment which characterize a republican people, than at that adulation, pomp and splendor of parade, which so much apes the subjects of monarchy, and which is so seldom expressive of the true feelings and sentiments of the actors. The President and General left here at half past 4. They intended going the road direct to Louisville, whence the President will probably visit Corydon, in Indiana, and back to Louisville; and to Frankfort and Lexington, and from there to Cincinnati, and then to Wheeling, and on to the city of Washington. Gen. Jackson will accompany the President as far as Lexington.

We understand, that the President will be deprived of the opportunity of visiting other parts of the state, which he had intended, by the call of public business for his return to the Federal city.—Southern Gaz.
