From Kentucky.

The Frankfort Yeoman makes the fol.
lowing statements in regard to the action of
the Governor of Tennessee and the Con.
federate authorities:
We have already published the facts Of
the seizure of Paducah by Federal forces.
This has been very naturally followed by
an invasion from the Confederate forces.
Columbus has been seized by the latter.
Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, telegraphed to
Gov. Magoffin that the movements of troops
upon Hickman was without his knowledg ge
or consent; that he believed it was without
authority of President Davis, and that he
had telegraphed to President Davis reques-
ting him to countermand the move
ment.
The result Of all this, as we are advised
from a source we believe perfectly reliable
is, that Gov. Harris tclegraphed to Gen.
Polk to withdraw his forces sent into Ken
lucky; that he also telegraphed to .Sccreta-
ry Walker to the same effect; that
Secretary Walker ordered General Polk
to withdraw his forces from Kentucky
that General Polk replied saying that
that the occupation Of Columbus was a
military necessity because the Federal for
ccs as he was satisfactorily informed, would
occupy the place in twenty four hours; that
thercupon Gen. Polk was left to his own
discretion.
These statements arc substantially sus-
taioed by communication to the Kentuc-
" Legis a:ure from some Tennessee Com
missioners, sent by Gov Harris What
steps Gen. Polk will take under this state
OF affairs, we are not advised, but he has
shown himself master ofthe occasion, and
will most likely adhere to his posi-

VIII hardly attempt to force Charleston,

and deadiiness of its batteries. He will
doubtless attack what he considers our

as Mobile and Ncw Orleons. At the

boats down the Mississippi He will prob.
ably, also send a land force of sore two or
three hundred thousand men through the

through Virginia and L, nnes4 Let u
not deceive ourselves. If the Lincoln
Government resolves to prosecute the war,
they can command men, and mapy OF

up her mind to long, fierce and deadly

The Lincolnites-the Black Republicans
have no notion of peace. 1t would be the
death-blow OF all their expectations. The

LEATHER IN THE SoUrH-There has
been considerable complaint in different
parts of the South of deficiency in the
supply of leather From what we can learn,
ed, however OF the supplies on hand, and
OF the stock of Norther.. made shoes at the
commencement of the war, there is no oc
casion Tor any immediate suffering. Tie
latter is not get exhausted. There are two
thousand tanneries in the south, the capac-
tiles of which cannot be far from sufficient
Tor the manufacture of all the | ather we
may need. We are inclined to suppose
that the most serious deficiency in the pres
ent supply of boots and shoes in the South
is the lack Of workmen. Sixsevenths of
the shoe'nakers of the entire country are
said to be in the Northcrn States and Of
the small force of worknen in the South,
many have gone to the war. 1t is an ex-
ceilent idea, that the War Department pro-
