Washington, Sept. 12. dear sir: The late act of Congress providing for the confiscation of the estates of persons in open rebellion against the Government was, as a necessary war measure, accepted and fully approved by the loyal men of the country.

Sept. 12, 1861. my dear sir: I hasten to place in your hands the enclosed correspondence with the President of the United States. The action which he has taken was firm and decided, and must prove satisfactory to the friends of the Union in Kentrs, and, instead of emancipating slaves thus employed, left their status to be determined either by the Courts of the United States or by subsequent legislation. The proclamation, however, of General Fremont, under date of the 30th of August, transal men of the Border Slave States have felt relieved of all fears of any attempt on the part of the Government of the United States to liberate suddenly in their midst a population unprepared for freedom, and whose presence could not fail to prove athe honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. Holt. His Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. Executive mansion, Sept. 12, 1861. Hon. Joseph Holt:--Dear Sir: Yours of this day in relation to the late procla

The act of Congress alluded to was a necessity under the circumstances, and was fully justified by the usages of civurprise here where the unscrupulous character and ultimate aims of the rebel chieftains are well understood. So long as Kentucky maintained that most illusory of all attitudes — neutrality — and carefully guarded an extended and exposed position of nd families of all. You may, therefore, well judge of the alarm and condemnation with which the Union-loving citizens of Kentucky--the State with whose popular sentiment I am best acquainted — have read this proclamation. The hope is earnestly indmy extreme desire that by no misapprehension of your sentiments or purposes shall the power and fervor of the loyalty of Kentucky be at this moment abated or chilled, must be my apology for the frankness with which I have addressed you, and for the r<

another of the ever-multiplying proofs that the war, which is one for national existence, does not seek to extinguish or interfere with slavery as established in the States. If this institution suffers detriment from the events or issues of the rebellion, the blow will come from those who, under the pretence of defending it, are striking at the life of a Government under whose Constitution it has enjoyed complete shelter and protection for three-quarters of a century. The occupation of Columbus by armed Tennesseeans, under the leadership of Bishop Polk and Pillow, has excited no surprise here where the unscrupulous character and ultimate aims of the rebel chieftains are well understood. So long as Kentucky maintained that most illusory of all attitudes — neutrality — and carefully guarded an extended and exposed position of the frontier of the Rebel Government — in a word, so long as she subserved the purposes of the conspirators seeking the overthrow of the Republic, and gave re<
