| Boone, advanced into Central Kentucky, ar
irving at Bowling Green 1T l0t O'Clock on
| Wednesday morning last. The commander OF
| these forces is a citizen of Kentucky, and was
| recently Inspector eneral of the State Guard
| of that Com fnonwealth, a position which he
| resigned in consequence of the neutral posi-
| ton Of his State having been violated, with
] impunty, by the Lincoln Government
| Though the State authorities made no effor,
| to main tain the boosted neutrality, we be-
| iieve that the proud people of Kentucky will
| yet prove to the tyrant that their souls were
! never moulded to tolerate his degraded des-

| now rise up IN the strength of treemen, and
| cast defiance into the teeth Of f1e usurper, as
| their fathers would have done, who won and
| transmit tted 10 them the glorious heritage Of
| freedom.

by the chivalrous BuCKyEg, at Bowling
