. The location of this fort was unfortunately made during the period of Kentucky neutrality, when the President of the Confederate States and the Governor of Tennessee felt bound to scrupulously respect the position of our sister State, and before the forces of Lincoln had begun to make camping grounds of its soil. Under these circumstances, it was found necessary by the engineer who located it, to refrain from occupying an eminence on the opposite bank of the river, which lies in the State of Kentucky, and which commands the fort.--It was deemed, however, sufficiently strong to resist any force which might probably be brought against it by the enemy by water, the Lincoln Government not having then devised the system of iron clad gun fleets which it has since adopted. The proper location for our fort ought to have been on the "Narrows," between the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers, where the two rivers approach each other in their winding courses at a distance of only three miles, th

ist to mention the name of a man who is surrounded with more infamy, treachery, and falsehood than Simon. B. Buckner, of Kentucky. Since the inauguration of civil strife in Kentucky he has openly commanded the chief force of the rebels in Southern Kentucky. A lawyer by profession, he has hitherto been deemed a man of fair ability. Neither at the bar nor upon the stump has he ever exhibited any particular brightness of power." Ere this civil war broke out he was a prominent member of the Knien Nashville and this point it passes Clarksville and Dover — the former — the point to which Commodore Foote has gone with his fleet and the latter the scene of the recent battle and capture of Fort Donelson. Its course about entering the State of Kentucky, is nearly parallel with that of the Tennessee river until it enters the Ohio at Smithland.

tuckians coming to the rescue. Last Saturday morning, (says the Southern Advocate, of the 24th,) Gen. Humphrey Marshall's camp was made to resound with glad some shouts and huzzahs at the arrival of a squad of gallant and true Kentuckians from Covington and its vicinity. They came and enrolled themselves as soldiers for the war. They represent that thousands are ready to follow their example should Gen. Marshall make another forward movement into Kentucky. No Lincoln troops are in Eastern Kentucky except some 800 at Pikesville. These are there as a blind to prevent the forward movement of our troops. Infamous outrages on the Peninsula.

from the camp of General Marshall, near Abingdon, where he has been acting as Brigade Commissary for that division of our army for the last six months. Major Hawes is a Virginian by birth, but for many years has been a resident of the State of Kentucky, where he has filled many positions of high public trust. For three terms he represented the Lexington district in the Congress of the United States; was an intimate friend and earnest supporter of Mr. Clay, and one of the most prominent plse, in his old age he has left his home and family to perform his part in the noble struggle in which we are now engaged. His noble example is worthy of imitation by men of fewer years. He has been elected Provisional Governor of the State of Kentucky by the Legislative Council, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of the lamented Governor Johnson, who fell gallantly fighting in the ranks at Corinth. The Legislative Council could have selected no citizen of their States more emin

ng proceedings took place in the Federal U. S. Senate on the 14th instant. --Lazarus Powell is the Senator from Kentucky, that "Ephraim" of the States. He ventures to inquire about his fellow citizens taken from their homes in Kentucky, and imprisoned in Northern bastilles, and it will be seen what sort of satisfaction he gets: Arrests in Kentucky. The resolution of Mr. Powell, (opp.,) of Ky., asking the Secretary of State for the number and names of prisoners arrested in the State of Kentucky, how long imprisoned, where they are, &c., was taken up. The question was on the amendment of Mr. Sumner that the President be requested to inform the Senate, if compatible with the public interest, concerning the arrests in Kentucky; which was adopted — yeas 30, nays 7. Mr. Powell offered an amendment to Mr. Sumner's amendment, which the Chair said was substantially the same as the original resolution; therefore it was not in order. Mr. Powell appealed from the decision
