, and Martin W. Barr, of the telegraph-office, were arrested; and these arrests were rapidly followed by others, of aged, wealthy, and eminent citizens, who were carried off to captivity in the free States. On the same day, September 19th, Colonel Bramlette, with his command, reached Lexington, to arrest Breckinridge, Preston, and other Southern-rights men. But these received timely intimation of their danger, and escaped. Humphrey Marshall, George B. Hodge, John S. Williams, Haldeman and McKis friend and comrade became his biographer. Duke's Life of Morgan, without any attempt at art, has the rare merit of combining truth and picturesqueness in narration. It is the work of an intelligent soldier and an honest gentleman. When Bramlette invaded Lexington, Morgan secured his arms and got away with his company on the 20th of September. He was joined at Bardstown by Captain Wickliffe's company, and they reached Buckner in safety on the 30th of September. Morgan was soon put in

Do you not think it advisable to authorize Wilson to press horses and mares in Kentucky, to mount his cavalry, giving owners receipts, so they can get their pay? It looks as if Forrest will flank around Thomas, until Thomas is equal to him in cavalry. At ten P. M., he said to Halleck: Is it not possible now to send reinforcements to Thomas from Hooper's department? If there are new troops organized, state militia, or anything that can go, now is the time to annihilate Hood's army. Governor Bramlette [of Kentucky] might put from five to ten thousand horsemen into the field to serve only to the end of the campaign. At ten P. M. this night, Thomas replied to his chief: Your two telegrams of eleven A. M. and 1.30 P. M. received. At the time that Hood was whipped at Franklin, I had at this place but about five thousand men of Smith's command, which added to the force under Schofield, would not have given me more than twenty-five thousand; besides, Schofield felt convinced that he c

Kentucky. --The Louisville Journal is informed that it is the purpose of Gov. Magoffin to issue a proclamation at an early day, calling upon the Federal troops under the command of Colonels Fry and Bramlette, at different points in the interior of Kentucky, to disband and retire to their homes. From a late number of the Lexington (Ky.) Statesman we copy the following: Why is a standing army placed in our midst? Why is our neutrality thus violated? What are these men going to do? What is to be the field of operation in which this army is to be employed? These were the questions which were eagerly asked on yesterday. But no answer came. The Union leaders smiled significantly when interrogated, but respond nothing.

The men who have instigated this movement will have blood en

mankind on to this great consummation, while I fear that there will be some white men unable to forget that with malignant heart and deceitful speech they have to hinder it.--Still, let us not be over sangume of a speedy and final triumph. Let us be quite sober, let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result. Yours, very truly, A. Lincoln. Inauguration of the New Governor of Kentucky--his Message. Gov. Bramlette, elected Governor of Kentucky on the Union ticket, was inaugurated, at Frankfort, on the 1st inst.: In his inaugural he contends that the revolted States did not change their status by rebellion.

The Federal Court, under Judge Trigg, will convene shortly, and the arbitrary arrests complained of by the traitors will be tender mereles compared with the indictments before that Court." In a lengthy article he says "slavery cannot longer exist in the temperate zone." Charles McChee, Columbus Powell, and Mr. Salter, of Kentucky, have been sent to that State upon a requisition of Gov. Bramlette. Heavy firing reported in the direction of Bull's Gap on Monday. [second Dispatch.] Abingdon, Nov. 19. --The firing reported at Bull's Gap was not at that point, but at Knoxville.

ly, must be treated as a loyal State, and her Constitution and laws respected. A telegram from Louisville says: Gov. Bramlette telegraphed to the Provost Marshal General of the State, at Danville yesterday, that if the Government did not stop t to sustain his courses there was no use of his coming to the State capital. He preferred to remain among the people. Bramlette then asked Breckinridge to go to Washington and consult with the Government. This would indicate that Bramlette isBramlette is not ready to carry out his threat, and thus nullify the National law.
