Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchthe cause of the South in Kentucky. Hopkinsville, Ky. May 22, 1861. The people of Kentucky have been blinded by the adhesion to the Administration of the Louisville Democrat and Journal. The Courier espouses boldly the cause of the South. The two Ohio river organs (Democrat and Journal,) have created such a division in our State that we can do nothing at present. We expect our Legislature to arm us soon.
