FRANKFORT KY, Oct. l3, 1851.
Ep. OBD STATE FJoURSAL:--Gencral Nelson,
COMMANDING the Federal forces at Camp
Kcuton, in Mason county, has issued pro-
clamaton calling ON al the Home Gu
in the 9th and 10Th Congressional y .ricts
to irarch at once to Mud Lick Springs m
Bath county. The coll is for ninety days,
end the proclamation says they will be led
against the enemy immodia e'y. From tha
date and character of the call ! presume a
rebel force from Morgan county, or rprehaps
from Virginia, is threatening that part Of
Kentucky. Bath county adioins Morgan
county, where we have supposed for slime
weeks that John {. Breckenridge was collect
! ing q baud OF rebels for the purpose Of steal
ing. burning and plundering. The rroclama-
ton does not state what foes are near that
place. 1t is fair. however, to presume that
| the enemy spoken of is a part and parcel
or tie clan that Stanton, (whom you ow
have at Camp Chaso) was getting up when
he was arrested. ] have no doubt that STAN
toms vilany to destroy the loyalty OF the
! people in that region would have entitled
HIN to Gcneralship in the rebel army. If
/ Nelson had not bgcu too smart Tor him, tor
| il seems that treason theft and every thing
! that honest men Call crimes, arc but so many
/ recommendations fOr office in the rebel army.
/ | believe no man has ever been promoted
| to office in that concern who had not com
/ m tied some crime worthy of the pCnit ,ntia-
| ry. Indeed this whole rebellion looks like
! il was cotton up as n sort of general jail
| delivery for all the uncaught and uncon-
! dcmucd criminals in the country.
Every day presents accommodating evil
dcnce that the overthrow of the Government
by the dscoutcutcd, and disappointed poll
tcaus of the South has been contemplated
for years The conduct of this class ofmen

Witnesses as they all arc are little more
powerful proofs OF the fact than arc the APP
parcnty less important things that are every
day occurring around us. The concert OF
action between all the rebels is significant.
One officer makes an inroad into Kentucky
at one point and another at another point,
and they are seconded in remote parts of the
State without seeming to have had any
recent communication with each other Oh
the subject Their operations so suit and
haru0ni2c with each other rs to leave no
doubt that they have been planned for
years.
General Shcrmau's order, directing tho
heads of departments under his command
20 estimate for funds to supply an army of
GO 900 men, seems to have more significance
than was at first supposed. We have such
information as assures MS that the Govern
has determined to send GO,U00 well drilled
and well armed men at once into kentucky,

into Tennessee. Kentucky will ever be
grateful 10 the Government for this timely

not be in Keucucky---our State does not
deserve to be dcsolated and Destroyed
We have not sinned against these Southern
thieves, that our cities should be burned
and our home laid in the dust, and our sac
rcl soil polluted by their dtorous blood, or
cucumbcred with their worthless Loncs.
The only sin we have committed against
> them is our loyalty to the Union OF our
fathers. If this toe treason we are proud
to be traitors to band Of traitors, because
such treason is the greatest patriotism.
rumur reached here yesterday that the
rebels had taken Palucah. This is wholly
GIlsc. Paducah has not been taken, and can
not be taken 10y all the men the rebels havo
in that part OF Kentucky. 1t is well fartiii-
cd, and all approaches to ii are commanded
by heavy guns. The National forces at Put
ducah are about 10000, with at least 70, 600
more in calling distance--and more than 30,
00O moro under Sh 'rman, within n tow days
march, Judge Williams, who left Paducall
, after the report did, il here he says
paducah will not bc at,ucked--that the re-
bel forces at Columbus are not able TO take
= it. Palucah is defended by several gun
boats with heavy batteries.
> Xollcolcr and his men are still stealing
whatever they can find in three or four coun-
ties near the Tennessee line. We hoped
that General Thomas would have cut off all
Xoicoticr's stcalagrs before this, but it has
not been done.
Fremont's forward movcmct in Missouri
gives much satisfaction in Kentucky We
are for pushing the war into the rebal States
We are opposed to a great Government lilte
ours acting purely ON the defensive. We
are for MAJ ching onward, and that immcdia-
tely,
SUMTER.
