Camp Clay, the headquarters Of Colonel
Guthries KENTUCKY regiment is located
within few yards Of the old corporation
line, and nearly on the river bank. A mum
Der Of old, but comfortable work shops, aud
omnibus sheds, form an excellent protection
10 the soldiers, and the ground is dry and
level. The regiment is made up of patriotic
KeDtuckians, who have very properly disre'
Ratded the conduct|of their Governor, aud
rallied to the support Of the General Gov
eminent, and the Hag of their country.
They are a noble looking lot of men, and
will never tarnish the reputation which their
State has heretofore enjoyed, and, among
patriots, their conduct will 60 far TO COM
pensate for official direlection.
Six companies from the Border were
offered yesterday, after the regiment was
full and Secretary Cameron has been tele-
graphed to to accept another regiment, but
as yet no answer has been received.
All the members are anxious for service,
and express desire that they may be imme.
diately ordered to the most exposed sections
of the country. Nothing would please them
better than an order to proceed to Washing
ton at once, through Baltimore, and it is
believed such an order will be given soon.
This enthusiastic desire for active service
is general throughout all the regiments and
companies ia this vicinity, and were. there
any immediate prospect of a fight, this city
would furnish at least $4,000 active soldiers
The Proposed Gubernatorial conference
night before last, resulted in nothing-tht
| protector, Governor Magofin, not arriving
in time to see the other Executives. Gov.
ernor Morton left for Indianapolis at three
o'clock yesterday morning, and Governo
Denbison went to Columbus at seven. Th,
conference, we learn, was first suggested b,
Mr.. Msgofin, but as he failed to arrive il
time, it is believed that he originally in
tended it as ruse to gain time. After tn
Executives had departed he arrived 10 Gov
iDgton, accompanied by Hon. ]. ]. Critten
den, who entertained the citizens of Coving
ton and Newport yesterday afternoon an
evening.
