IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR
OF KkNTucKY.-Gov. Magofin has issued proc
lamation, appended to which Is a preamble de-
claring that whereas many good citizens have
requested him to forbid the march Of any forces
through Kentucky to attack Cairo, or otherwise
disturb the peaceful attitude of Kentucky, with
reference to the deplorabe war now waged be-
tween the United and Confederate States, and also
stating that the same citizens had requested him
to forbid the marching of any United States forces
over Kentucky soil for the occupation of any post
or place within Kentucky; and whereas every In
dication of public sentiment shows a determined
purpose of the people to maintain the fixed posi-
tlon Of self-defense, proposing and intending no
invasion or aggression toward any other state or
States, fOrbidding the quartering Of troops upon
her soil by either hostile section but simply stand
Ing aloof from an unnatural, horrid, and lament
able strife, for the existence whereof Kentucky.
neither by thought word, or action, is In anywise
responsible; and whereas this policy IL, In nv
Judgment, wise, peaceful safe and honorable, and
most likely to preserve peace and amity between
neighboring border States on both sides of the
Ohio, and protect Kentucky from deplorable civil
war; and whereas the arms distributed to the
State Guard arc not to be used against the Federal
or Confederate States, but to resist and prevent
encroachments on her soil, rights, honor and SOW.
eregnty, by either of the bellgerent parties; and
hoping that Kentucky may become a successful
mediator between them, and in order to remove
lucky out Of the Union at the point of the bayonet
which may have been strongly and wickedly
engendered In the public mind in regard to my
own position and that Of the State Guard:
Now, therefore, hereby notify and warn all
other states, separate or united, and especially
the United and Confederate States, that solemn
~ forbid any movement upon KeItucky soil, or
the occupation OF any post or place therein. for
any purpose whatever, until authorized by the
invitation or permission Of the Legislature and
executive authorities Of the State
l especially forbid all citizens of Kentucky,
whether incorporated In the State G uard or oth I,
wise, from making any hostile demonstrate on !;
to be obedient to the orders Of the lawful author
uesi to remain quietly at home when off military
duty; to refrain from all words and acts likely to
provoke collision, and so otherwise to conduct
themselves that the deplorable calamity of inva-
sion may be avoided, but in the meanwhile to
make prompt and efficient preparations to assume
the paramount and supreme law Of selfdefense
and strictly Of self defense alone
