KENTUCKY.-It is reported at Louisville
that Mr.. LINCOLN replied to the Commission
ers sent to Washington by Gov. McGoFFIN
to ascertain his views in relation to the neu-
traIity of Kentucky, that he would shape his
policy in that respect according to the wishes
of the Union members of the Legislature and
the Union delegation in Congress. This re-
port is strengthened by the fact that the Lou
isviIle Journal publishes call for a meeting
of the Union members at Frankfort on Mon
day next. The Journal will doubtless dictate
to the Congressional delegation what they
shall do, and they will lay down the pro-
gramme to be followed by the Union mem
bers of the Legislature; and the Journal, be-
inS the organ of the Federal Administration
in Kentucky, will endeavor to make that pol
icy such as will sustain the despotism at
Washington, so far as the State can be led an
that direction What that policy is, is appa
rent in the forlorn condition of Maryland at
the present moment, and what would have
been the condition Of Missouri if LYON had
lived. and the gallantry OF the Southern nen
of that State had not to certain
extent emancipated themselves from aboli-
ton thraIdom at Oak Hill. 1t is further
pointed out by the report, which the Courier
Iearps GARRETT DAVIS brings from Washing
toh. to the effect that not only viii the Lin
coin troops at camp Dick Robinson not be
disbanded, but, on the contrary, Increased.
In addition to the above, we learn from the
Louisville Courier that -RoszEsU's Brigade,
which has been stationed at Camp Joe Holt, i
beyond the Ohio River, and which was ex-
pected to GO to St. Louis, will remain while
longer at their present location. It is also
rumored at Louisville that they are to be
shortly stationed at M1Idrough'ss Hill, on the
Nashville Railroad StiI another rumor,e en-
anating from the camp itself, says that they
are to go to Bowling Green, where they are
10 entreneh themselves, and form the nucleus
of great army, ith which Lincoln expects
30 invade the South through Tennessee. zii -
, OF course, we cannot place implicit reli-
enee upon all these reports and rumors; but
it IL certain that the Lincoln Administration
at the outset determined not to recognize the
proposed neutrality Of Kentucky tits equal
ly clear to our mind that he has used the
Union leaders In that State to delay and de-
feat, il possible, the union of the State with
the South, and at his convenience to precipi-
tate his armies through the State upon Ten
nessee upon the South. For this single pur-
pose, we have believed from the first, that the
neutrality humbug was pat forward and pro-
claimed, and 90 repeatedly stated. The plot,

The LINCOLN secret.ry or. war,

~ L
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 26th inst.
publishes the following petition, which, it
gays, is being circulated in that city:
40 His Excellency, ABRAHAA LINCOLN, Pres
ident of the United States .-,-.s
The undersigned, anxious that your Admin
istration should in this time of National
peril, have the unqualified respect and receive
the cordial support OF all the friends OF the
Government; and recognizing (as it is forced
upon the attention of all observant citizens)
the widespread and growing want of conf
dence in the integrity and capacity of Hon.
SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War; and beliey-.
ing most earnestly that the universal popular
will, and great public emergency, demand
a change which shall place the War Depart
ment in the hands of q man whose honesty
has never been questioned, aud whose capa-
city is eminent and has been proven in SER
vice, respectfully request, and emphatically
urge, the removal of Mr.. CAMERON and the
appointmeneof the Hon. JOSEPH Holt of Ken
lucky. This is submitted without partizan
prejudice or personal feeling, with the deepest
solieitude for the general welfare, and under
the gravest apprehensions that the Republic
will suffer irreparable detriment, if you con-
tinue in Office Secretary of War whom the
people believe unworthy and incapable"
Commenting on the above, the Commercial
says: r.srss e.. l,.,.ra5.r-. .5 .,i
This III receive thousands of signatures.
We hope petitions of similar import will be
circulated throughout the country. The
President must be made understand the pop
alar will in this matter. Not even the defeat
of the Southern Army of the Potomac would
give such confidence and joy to the friends OF
the Government, as would the removal OF
Cameron and the appointment of Holt. The
pith OF the matter is clearly presented in the
petition. Ii is that the Administration should
be such as to command the respect and sup
port of .all the friends of the Government"
We would gofo the removal of another mem
Der Of the Cabinet, Gideon Welles, who is OF
no account whatever, aud the appointment OF
Com. Vanderbilt or some other capable man.
CAMERON and his kin are waxing fat on the
marrow of rich contracts. How the uninia-
ted envy them. Throw the Commercial bone,

GENTLEMEN:-I am satisfied that many of
our fellow countrymen in East Tennessee have,
by the course of events, been forced into taking
position in regard to the questions pending
between the North and the South, which is
hardly in keeping with their natural relations,
and from which it is our duty in a spirit of
magnanimity, to de what we can to relieve
them. Without entering into the questions at
issue, 4 feel confident that IL they are assured
by their southern fellow-countrymen of their
disposition to treat them with kindness, and,
to respect their manly feelings (while they are
making provision for the protection. of our
OWL. Tennessee soil against invasion from the
NORTH, y they will have no reason to be agriey-
ed by the presence of troops in their midst.
They must see that. the policy of the u. g.
Government, or rather Mr.. Lincol,,s Goeerm-
naent, is TO overrun and subugate us, and they.
also know that it is threatening to do this
through the passes Of the Tennessee mountains.
- What are we to do then? But one thing is
left US. and that is to place troops at, all of
these points at which we are most exposed
This assuredly in the face of the facts alluded
to, should form no Just grounded complaint on
the part Of any candid man of sense.
1t is upon every account desirable that no
irritating language, or any offensive bearing
should be manifested by the troops towards
citizens in East Tennessee or elsewhere. and
the COMMANDERS will doubtless see that this is
not done Your well known character and DO
sition in relation to the public questions which
have agitated us, make it in my opinion very.
proper Office for you to perform, to go to our
fellow citizens Of East tennessee and with fra
ternal words, and unfeighed Kindness to en-
deasor to induce them, to waive their. OPPOSE
ton to the decision Of the majority of the voters
of. the State, and to Become hereafter as here
tofore unite as united band of brothers.
The State of Tennessee in the history of the
past has fame, which amoung our States has
been among the most enviable. For statesman
ship and military distiction she has been EEK
celled BY nome In the name of all that is hal
loved and precious, let us see to it that we

of social distractions and conflicts. Concession
