We have seen, says the National Intelii-
o>,ee,. a letter from Southeastern Missouri
If recent date, in which the writer gives
= shocking picture of the state of things
under the rule of the Rebels. The writer
speaks of the "crazed acts" of ex-Gover-
Jackson, and of his declaration OF the war
against the United States, forcing every
one to take position for or against the
United States. The writer steadfastly re-
manned an old line Union Whig. The reo-
els then attempted TO drive ont OF the
State. by mob law. all Union men. The
writer refused to obey written notice to
leave. until rebel force from Arkansas
came into the country. He says:
This force, with the tory citizens, COM
mitted acts that would shock the most
brutal breast Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
guns, powder, and in fact every muuition
of war that could beseized were taken by
them. The terror inspired by their guer-
rilia parties is indescribable. Some boys
were hung until nearly dead. and then let

them. Others travelled forty miles without
shoes, aud almost naked, for the purpose
of escaping these calamities, and am
credibly informed that others had pOtions

Highly Important from Kentucky
Proclamation by the Rebel General
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Advance of the
COnfedCrateS on EIIZabcthtONVn.

ConfedCrates on EIiZabcthtOTvn.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2l.-'rhe following
proclamation has just been received:
TO lie People of KcntWckY-The Legisla-
ture of Kentucky has been faithless to the
will of tile people; they have cnde"vored
to make your gallant State fortress in
which, under the guiSc of neutrality, the
armed forces of the United States might
securely prepare to suhiugare alike the
people of Kentucky aud the Southern
States. 1t was not until after months of
covert and open violation OF yonr neutral
itv, with large encampments of Federal
troops on your territory, aud a recent otti-
cial declaration of the President OF the L.
S not to regard your neutral position,
coupled with II well prepared scheme to
seize AN additional point in y0nr territory
which was of vital importance to the safety
and defcRse of Tennessee, that the troops
of the Confrdcracy on the iuvitation of the
people of kentucky occupied defensive
post in your State. In doing SO the COM
nnnder announced his purpose TO cvncuate
your territory, simultaneously with sim
liar movement on the part of the Federal
| forces, whenever the Legislature of Ken
lucky shall undertake to enforce against
both bclligrrents the strict neutrality
which they have so often declared.
return amongst you, citizens of Ken
lucky, ut the head of IL force, the 81 ivance
of which is composed entirely OF Ken
tnckians. We do not come to modest any
citizen, whatever may be his political
| opinions Unlike the agents of the North
| eru drspOtisrn, who seek to reduce us To
the condition of dependent vassais. we be-
lieve that the recognition OF the civil
rights of citizens is the foundation Of con-
| stitutonal liberty, and that the Claim of
| the President of the United Stntes TO de-
clnre martial law, to suspend the privi-
/ lrge of the writ of habcaS corpus, and To
convert every bhrrack and every prison in
the land into Il Bastile, is nothing but the
| claim which other tyrunts have assumed,
to subjngatc a free people.
The Confederate States occupy Bowling
Green as defensive position. renew
the pledges of the commanders of other
columns of Confederate troops, to retire
from the territory of Kentucky on the
same conditions which will govern their
movements. | further give you my own
assurance that the force under my com
maud will be used as aid To the govern
ment Of Kentucky in carrying out the
strict neutrality desired by its people
whenever they undertake tn enforce it
against the two beligercntS alike.

received a dispatch just as the train was

presume the report is somewhat exagger.

siIered it reliable. If the main points of
this report are true, then it is by far the
