Important from Kentucky.
Kentuckians to be shot for bearing Arms against the United States--the war tax to be paid — revival of the Louisville Courier as a Lincoln paper.
From the Memphis Avalanche, of Thursday, we take the following important intelligence:
We learn through a gentleman who reached here yesterday from Kentucky, some important information in regard to that State, which, if true, will show how completely some of her citizens are given over to Lincoln.
Our informant states that the Legislature had passed an act in regard to native Kentuckians found in arms against the Government, whether in the Confederate army or not, and making the penalty for such an offence, death!
This barbarous law will but have the effect to drive many a wavering Kentuckian to our side.
Soon a Jeff.
Thompson will arise there, and retaliate as fearfully as the original promises to do. It would seem that the Lincolnites generally "overdo" things.
But perhaps the

Saving bacon.
--A correspondent of the Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate makes a suggestion to the planters of the Confederate States, which it may be worth their while to heed, in reference to the saving of bacon.
The gist of the matter is contained in the following extract:
If our planters would refer to quotations, they will observe that molasses can be had in New Orleans at 25 cents per gallon, and rice in Charleston at 3 cents per pound.
If they will change their mode of allowance, and give 2 ½ pounds of meat, 2 pounds of rice, quart of molasses, and I peck of meal, they will consume home productions, rice and molasses, to the partial exclusion of foreign meat.
Estimating the number of full hands at 1,500,000, you will see that this plan, which gives 2 ½ pounds of meat, instead of 4 pounds per week, will diminish the consumption of bacon 2,250,000 pounds a week in the Confederacy, and the negroes would be much more healthy.
It is said that typhoid fever is unknown where

Capt. Thos. Johnston, quartermaster
The District Court of the Confederate States, for the Eastern District of Virginia, Judge Halyburton on the bench, commenced its October term yesterday.
The recognizance of persons charged with criminal offences which had by mistake been taken and returned as for this term, were renewed, the parties being required to come back in November.
The Court then adjourned.
There are, we learn, some, perhaps a good many, admiralty cases on the docket, besides other civil cases, and the Court may remain in session for several weeks.
An acquisition.
Among the numerous distinguished military gentlemen at present in Richmond, is Capt. Mansfield Lovell, who has recently arrived from the North.
He resigned his position in the U. S. Army some years ago, and accepted the command of one of the crack companies of New York, the City Guard, but retired from it in consequence of some of Gen. Sanford's high-handed proceedings at the commencement of the war. Capt. Lovell was, we believe, a classmate of McClellan at West Point, but of this we are not positive.
He henceforth drops the title of Captain and assumes a higher one having been appointed a Brigadier-General in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and assigned to the coast defences of New Orleans.
Small Arms.
A ost as if by magic, an extensive establishment has sprung into existence in Richmond, where a large number of workmen are employed in repairing and refitting muskets for the use of our army.
The shops are located on Seventh street, and are owned by the Government of the Confederate States.
Within ten days past the machinery has been placed in position, and is now in active operation.
Two steam engines (one 35-horse power,) furnish the driving force, and from the plans laid down we are satisfied that the establishment will soon be complete in all its departments.
We state these facts with a view of giving encouragement to those who may suppose that the Government is not pushing forward vigorously in every respect, with a view to determined resistance against the foe. A large number of muskets, thrown away by the Yankees on their flight from Manassas, are now undergoing the necessary repairs, and many of them daily leave the hands of the workmen "as good as new."
