FROM WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, April IS.-The clerks OF
the State Department have been formed into
a guard fer the protection of that building.
Those of the Treasury have received orders
Immediately to repair to the Department on
the first invasion of the city. The clerks of
the other Departments are directed to be
similarly watchful. In addition to the mill
itary force that has been placed in the pub
lie buildings, the rumors of an intended in
vasion OF Washington have excited much
war feeling. Whatever may be the ground
for such reports, it is certain that the Gov
ernment is expeditiously making prepara-
tions for all emergencies.
The Kansas men, now here, about 60 in
number, have formed a company called the
Frontier Guard. They have been given the
post of honor-the east room of the Presi-
dents House. 5@

LOUISVILLE, April lS-Gov. Magofin is
here trying to get the hanks to lend $780,
900 to arm the State for defense. 1t is sup
posed that some arrangement will be made.
There was an immense Union meeting
here last night. Speeches were made by
Guthrie, Nicholas, Bullitt, and Brown
RESOLUTIONS were unanimously adopted, de-
claring that as the Confederate States COM
menced the war with the Federal Govern
ment, Kentucky has the right to choose her
position; acknowledges loyalty to the Gov
ernment until it becomes the aggres-
sor; opposes the call of the Gov
ernment for volunteers for coercion and the
raising of troops here to cooperate with the
Southern Confederacy, when the acknowl-
edged intention of the latter is to march on
Washington that secession is a remedy for
no evils; that Kentucky will not take part
against the federal Government that Ken
tncky should maintain an independent po-
sitiOn within the Union against the Admin
istration and seeded States declaring her
soil sacred against the hostile tread of either;
and that Kentucky be armed in accordance
with law. a lE t<E f1Ll--

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-Gov Letchers

quota of troops, concluded: 's Your object
is to subjugate the Southern States, and

having done so, we will meet it in the spirit
as determined as the administration has ex-
bibited towards the South"
