ReA- The position of the Kentucky Lee
gislature is most embarrassing one. If
it declare for neutrality, war with Lin
coin must be the consequence, because that
neutrality can not be enforced without dbl
wing out his troops. IF it declare for Lin
coin, the Confederate States will, at once,
make Kentucky a battle-ground; and if
the Legislature attempt the inefficient pol,
icy of "holding with the hare whilst run
ming with the hounds" it will leave the
matter just where it is-the State invaded
by both belligerents, and fast becom-
ing the theatre of desolating civil war
From this, there is no escape, aud Ken
tuckians must take their stand on the one
side or the other. Neutrality is an ex-
ploded humbug, and there is no longer q
chance to avert the war which it was inten-
ded to stave Off All that remains for the
people to do is to decide whether they will
fight for the South and liberty, or the North
and despotism.

undertaken to put down the rebellion, and
then to give the South its constitutional
rights. We are obliged to them for their
kindness, but the South can enforce its
rights at the point of the bayonet, and ne

ion from any body Of men. Justice would
have averted the war, but the nero prom
isc of it can never bring peace. The truth
is, the people of the North have proven
themselves to be such pack of barbarian
scoundrels that the South can only view
them as enemies in war and in peace, as a
foreign power unworthy of any closer al
liyncc than should be formed with the least

THE INDIANS oS THE WAR; The majority of our
readers are, no doubt, aware that the Cherokees
have, almost unanimously resolved to join their
fortunes with those of the Southern Confederacy.
The other nations and tribes had already entered
into treaty to thesame effect. The chief, John
Ross in an able address to his people, informed
them that he was for neutrality as long as there
was hope of its practicability, but after a calm
view of the whole matter, advised them to sever
those ties heretofore connecting them with the old
government. In this Mr. Ross has exhibited not
only patriotism, but craftsmanship and deserves
credit therefor.
This action makes the Indian nations west of us
united in our common cause 1t removes a cause
of apprehension from the minds of many. 1t shuts
out from the abotionists vast territory, in which
they had hoped TO operate to our prejudice. II
gives us thousands of brave warriors from our
allies. 1t brings peace and security frontier,
and throws our Western border hundred of miles

nea The efforts of Kentucky to main

pa- The efforts of Kentucky to main
tain selfish neutrality are producing their
legitimate results. The first step taken by
the State refusal to furnish its quota of
troops-was rebellion against the govern
ment TO which it professed allegiance and
all subsequent steps were suggested by
considerations of dollars and cents This
policy, unnatural, unjust and impractical
BILE, has eliminated in civil war-a result
perfectly palpable, from the beginning, to
the plainest common sense. If Kentucky
had based its refusal to furnish men upon
the ground that the President had no au-
thority to call for them, and had stood
squarely upon that ground, it would have
been entitled to the sympathy and respect
of every patriot; but when it quietly sub
mittcd to repeated infractions of the Con
stitution, and even voted men and money
to prosecute the war against the South
unconstitutionally begun, its position be
came despicable, and fully justified an in
vasion by either, or both, of the belliger
ent powers. The Union party,in the State
whilst seemingly contending for neutrality
was inviting the northern government t.
take possession of its territory, and playe,
this double game, hoping to hull the South
ern Confederacy into inaction until the alb
olitionists had secured too firm footing t.
be driven out. This double-dealing was a
transparent as it WAS contemplate, and vii
prove as unavailing as it is base an
treacherous.

WHEREAs We are called upon to mourn the de-
parture Of our friend and felow-soldier, Theodore

Arrival of the North Briton.
THE TINES AND LORD PALMERSToN O
AMERICAN AFFAIRS


MONTREAL, Sept. lO.-The North Briton has arri-
we'd here. Her advices are anticipated.
Lord Palmerston has been installed Warden OF
Cirque Ports In his speech he eulogses the strong
defensive measures of England, and says that per-
feet defense was the only stable foundation for
friendly relations with foreign powers.
He alluded to the battle of Bull Run as evidence
of the pOwerlessness of men perfectly brave but
imperfectly drilled against an organized enemy.
The Times has another editorial on the loan and
expense of the Federal Government. 1t concludes
with the belief that the subugation Of the South is
hopeless task.
Russels latest letter to the Times says the issue
in America is fast narrowing down between slave
ry and abolitonism. He thinks the President will
soon declare all slaves within the limits of the u.
S. army free.
FRANcE.-Paris newspapers deny the report that
the Government had notified the foreign embassa-
dors that France would maintain the occupation of
Rome.
The Times editorially advises a compromise be-
tween the North and South.
1t is stated that the leading Liverpool houses pur-
chased fifteen thousand bales Of cotton for shipment
10 New York.
Earl Russell in a manifesto on the Spanish occu-
patton of st. Domingo, says American forbearance
cannot be calculated upon as permanent

.SSs- The chasing of steamers up the

b6s~ The chasing of steamers up the
Cumberland, by Lincoln's gun-boats,
alarms many here, for the safety of Clarks-
vile, and many are the conjectures as to
when and how the attack may be made
Our opinion is, that there is not the least
danger here, and the reasons for such. JIM
preston are we'll founded. In the FIRST
place, it is universally conceded that Mem
phis is safe, and as Memphis is the State,
and the State is Memphis, it follows that
the safety Of the latter implies the safety
of GAINESVILLE as we'll as of every other
point in Tennessee. Nothing could more
satisfactorily illustrate the great military
ability of the "powers that be-" than the
fact that they made the invaluable discov-
cry that the protection of Memphis, in an
extreme corner of the State, gives securi-
ty to its whole territory.
But, say some, the gun-boats may come
up the Cumberland. We guess not
There are two cannon down about the
State line, and two somewhere above. We
know not their size, but those who planted
them believe they are large enough to take
care of themselves, and the general impress
sion is that if the gunbosts come up to the
battery, the guns will certainly go off, and
that somebody will be hurt-and, most
likely, the parties who have to foot the bill
Others fear that Lincoln force may come
upon us by way of the railroad but they
seem to forget that, by leaving the draw Of
the bridge open, the enemy will be precip
itated into the river, whether they come
from the one direction or the other; Thil
dead -tall secures the safety of GAINESVILLE
and this assurance may be made doubly
sure, by informing the enemy that there il
a battery on Franklin street, securely hou
sed to keep it from going off, and an,
amount of Minute Men in the county, arm
ed by--nature, drilled by the same, ant
) organized by accident. GAINESVILLE is il
no danger so long as Memphis is safe, an,
t its citizens may sleep soundly under tn
protection Of the marvellous Consideration

eye of sleepless vigilance is upon Mem

noun3e to the citizens of GAINESVILLE and surround
ing country, that from and after the LIST day of
September, they will reduce the price of their
goods one-fourth. We do not intend this as a blow
but reality. We do not make this offer because
we cannot sell our goods at higher prices, but
simply because we do not believe pure patriotism
consists in grinding to powder the poor soldier
friends left here while they fighting battles
and bleeding in defence of our rights. We are
positively conscience stricken for doing so thus
long, and let others do as they please will sell
our goods at former prices. Let those who doubt
give us a call.
