Kentucky.

The vote taken in the Kentucky House
of Representatives Wednesday, on the Re-
solution directing Gov. Magofin to issue
his proclamation warning the rebel troops
off the soil of the State, may be considered
decisive of the part which that noble Com
monwealth will take in the coming strife.
The vote was rs against 2O-the whole
number Of members in the full House being
100. A motion to direct the Governor to
warn of the soldiers of the Union also, was
promptly voted down. 1t is thus shown
that the Unionists, of the 10 Holt and
General Anderson stripe, have majority o.
three to one in the Legislature, and that
they are prepared to meet all the respon,
sibilities of the occasion.
The following are the resolutions adopt
ed, as we find them in the Cincinnati Ga
zettes of Wednesday: -.,.....
Resolved, That Kentucky's peace and neu.
trality have been wantonly violated, her soil
has been invaded, the rights of her citizens

Be it resolved by the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That the
Governor be requested to call out the military
force of the State to expel and drive out the
invaders.
Resolved, That the United States be invoked
to give that aid and assistance, that protection
against invasion, which is granted to each one
of the States by the fourth section of the
fourth article of the Constitution of the United
States.
Resolved, That Gen. Robert Anderson be ard

The Rebel Agents in Europe.

The following extract from a letter by
the Arabia to the New York Times, shows
that the rebel agents are still active in Eu-
rope, and are doing something for their
But the news of the battle of Bull Run
fell like spark on gunpOwder among the
secession agents here, and startled them
into supernatural activity. While our
credit sinks like lead, these busy hands are
writing money articles for the Times, and
pumping their ideas into the brain of that
Journals city oracle. They are in the mar.
kets all over the country, bidding furiously
against our government for arms, and as
seems to be thought, not without success.
They have got mOney-ready money-Of
that there can be no doubt, though from
whom, and at what awful discount, | DO not
undertake even to guess. They are san.
guine as ever of recognition, and very likely
have their reasons for so doing. Nor is all
this the worst.
Within the last few days it is rumored
that they have succeeded in equipping and
sending off an armed steamer with cargo
OF arms and ammunition tor the Southern
States, which has been for some time past
quietly receiving its stores under the drec-
tion OF Liverpool firm in the American
trade. Of the particulars of this affair
am not informed, but it is said, still further,
that the British Government, when called
upon to prevent the departure of the vessel,
declined to interfere-on what grounds l
have not heard.

The system of allotment tickets has been
in use in the Navy Department for many
years, and on the 10th Of July Congress
directed Secretary Cameron to introduce
among the volunteer forces in the service Of
the Department the system of allotment
tickets now used in the Navy, or some
equivalent system, by which the family of
the volunteer may draw such portions Of his
pay as be may request"
The whole operation is very simple, and
can be transferred from the navy to the army
without the least difficulty. For the benefit
OF soldiers we print here the form of naval
allotment ticket, the names being, of course,
fictitious:
No. l64 Il, John Smith, seaman on board the
United States vessel OF war OsceOla, COM
manded by Captain James Robinson, do by
these presents allOt eight dollars per month of
my wages for the support of my family; and
do hereby appoint John Brown my attorney,
to receive for that purpose from the Navy
Agent at the port of New York the said sum of
eight dollars monthly, for the term of thirty.
six months the first payment to be made on
the 3lst day OF August, 1861.
sIn witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and seal the first day of August, 1861.
JOHN SMITH.
In presence and with the appreciation of
James Robinson, Captain.
Registered by William Jones, Purser.
This form, being duly sigred ard filled, is
sent by the commander of the vessel to the
Navy Department, which forwards copy
of it to the proper Navy Agent, who places
it on file. On the last day of August comes
JOHN BROWN, the attorney Of JOHN SMITH,
seaman OF the Osceola, and demands eight
dollars on such an account. The name is
sought for and found, the allotment ticket
veri6es Mr.. Browns demand, and when be
has been properly identified as being the
person desisnated in the paper, he receives
the money.
All this is very simple, and the Secretary
of War ought at once to introduce the sys,
tenn in the army. A soldier can easily leave
ten dollars month for his family, and then
have ten cents day for tobacco and other
luxuries. The adoption of the allotment
system will do great deal towards stimu.
latiDg enlistments; as in hundreds of cases
the great obstacle to entering the service is
the fact of leaving families behind unpro-
vided with the means of subsistence, which
this system enables the soldier to supply.

General Butler Enlisted for thu War.

On returning to his home in Lowell,
Massachusetts,, General Butler had an en-
thusiastic reception from the citizens, the
Mayor delivering an address of welcome.
The General responded, declaring his inten-
tion to return Immediately to the seat of
war, to remain until the close of the war.
He said:
For one, trust that there may be no at.
tempt at peace, and after remaining a few
days here, | am ready to return to my duty
and never return to Lowell until the last
time, or until the work is accomplished We
must have peace, but peace in which the
power OF the government is acknowledged !;
1t must be peace which secures the cOnsti-
tutiOnal rights of all men under the Federal
government and no other government
Loud and prolonged applause. With my
fellow soldiers, whom l have left for the
hour, there is no other feeling, and we have
heard with pain and regret that there was
any other feeling cherished even by a few.
Why, sir, let US make peace for the hour
and it would not be sixty days before we
would be involved in war again, if the re-
suit of that peace were the separation of
this Union into two Confederacies We
must have the whole of this country under
one government, or else no government at
all. Applause. There is no middle
ground. We must pour out blood and
treasure--the first like water, the last like
sard--until that is accomplished. II you
have no government, no country, what have
you left Nothing! We should be base
to give up the rich inheritance beaueathed
to US by our fathers, and leave to our chill
dren only broken and ruined country"

the following particulars;
Secretary Seward, some days since, adj
vised Mr. Kennedy, the Chief Of Police Of
New York city, Of the fact that Daniel G.
LoWber was in that city with important
dispatches, as stated, and ordered bis ar
rest, to accomplish which he Immediately
set the police force Of the city at work,
LoVber evading them at every point 1t
appears that the individual referred 70 left
London some three weeks since, diuembark-
ing at Montreal, Canada From thence he
took passage on the steamer Ktna for New
York. 10 put ihs police On the wrong track
he purchaseda ticket by Hudson River Bail
road to Albany, and going as far IS Peeks-
kill, where he changed his route and re-
turned to New York BY way Of the
Harlem Railroad. From New York
ne went 70 Phfadelphis, and from
thence by Pittsburgh and Crestiine
en- route for the South. Arriving at Crest
line last night, he was met by Robert
King, Of the New York Detective Police,
aud arrested, and this morning brought to
this city on his way to New York, and from
thence to Washington. Mr.. King was &C.
companisd by NJ. G. Archer, Deputy o. S.
Marshal Of Ohio, at Crestline, who went
forward to assist Mr.. King, by the Lake
Shore train this morning. LOWber's bag
gage and papers we're seized in New York
and are held by the Chief Of Police. The
dispatches have not been made public, but
are Of sufficient importance to warrant the
authorities at Washington, in resOrting to
every available means TO hold them and
to dstain the prisoner for examination.
This VIM. LoWber is man Of medium
stature, about fOrty-hve years of age, dark
OOmplexioh, gray hair, and would pass in
any crowd for polished sCOundrel; al
though he seemed fatigued and nearly
worn down from long travel. He was
many years ego resident of New York,
but soma tWenty-eight years since left that
city for New Orleans, where he has since
resided--engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness, in which be is said to have accumulated
great wealth. he makes no cOnceslments
Of his sympathies with the South. He
claims also that he knows nothing of the
purport Of the papers referred to, which is
sll probably not SO. It is most sincerely
to be hoped that he will receive the punish
ment due to his crime.
