Doc. 139.-interview between Colonels Tilghman and Prentiss. Headquarters, Camp defiance, Cairo, Ill., May 6, 1861. Colonel Lloyd Tilghman, commanding the western division of Kentucky Militia, including Paducah and Columbus, places that have been considered as menacing our troops here, called, in company with Colonel Wickliffe, of Kentucky, upon Colonel Prentiss, commandant at this place. The following is the substance of their interview: Colonel Tilghman--I have visited you, sir, for the purpose of a little official intercourse with reference to the late questions which have excited the people of Kentucky, and to cultivate, as far as in my power, peaceful relations. Some portions of the public press have erroneously used the name of Kentucky, the name of her organized militia under my command, and my own name, in referring to the hostile movement of troops against you from Tennessee. （Colonel Tilghman referred: to an article in the Louisville Journal, which stated that

He characterized the statement in severe terms, and said that Kentucky was still in ly reciprocated. We must, however, when we understand that certain points in either Kentucky, Tennessee, or Missouri are menacing us, prepare to defend them. Colonel Tilghman--Let me say, in deference to Tennessee, that, so far as her authorities and official acts are concerned, she. was, three days ago, in the Union. I have just come from there, where, in an, official capacity, I defined tsay in deference to Governor Harris, with whom I had an interview, and in deference to the State of Tennessee, that there are no hostile menaces toward you.

Colonel Prentiss--I can hardly express, gentlemen, how gratifying it is to me to find these the sentiments of all the leading men I have met from your side of the river. I assure you that, so far as I understand the sentiments of my State, my command and myself, those friendly feelings are cordially reciprocated.

Kentucky has her own rights to defend, and no State can do it more powerfully. She is a ined to the authorities of Kentucky. Colonel Tilghman--The position I wish to assume is, that Kentucky is the peer of Illinois, and would not consent to any thing of the kind, under any pretence. Kentucky probably would never consent to the blockentiss--But if, as you say, Kentucky is a loyal State, she would have to allow the blockading of the Ohio. I assure you Illinois would allow it, if required by the General Government. Kentucky has not done her full duty to the Government. She has here, I intend to visit the other side. Colonel Tilghman--We shall receive you with every kindness. The position of Illinois and Kentucky relatively is very delicate, and on that account allow me to say that I hope you will continue in command h

The following is the substance of their interview: Colonel Tilghman--I have visited you, sir,official encouragement. Colonel Tilghman--Yes, sir, I feel authorized to express that view of it. The press ought to be restrained in its ready circulation of errors. There is not a word of truth in the statement of there being 12,000 men at Paducah for invasion; or, as to the concentration of troops in any part of Kentucky under my control. As to the recent arrival of arms at Columbus, they were the property of the State. This, as her right, Illinois cannot raise any objection to. Kentuc
