..The DUTY OF ,,,e BORDER sta.e..,,

Under this caption the Louisville Journal, de-
pouncing President LincoIn's Proclamation for
volunteers, OF the one hand, and the attack Of
the Carolina Rebels upon Fort Sumter, on the
other, advises the Border Slave STAGES to side
with neither the extreme Sonth nor the North,
assume the position of armed neutrality, and
keep the beliigerants apart, il possible. 1t says:
In this dreadful exigency, the Border Slave
States, if they wise, will take their position,
firm and steadfast between the North and the
South, and, in doing SO, confer mighty blessing
npon both. besides securing their own coapara
tive welfare and prosperity. Let us of the Bor
der Slave States, at the very earliest practical
moment, band ourselves together for the preser
walton of peace, SO far as III u lies, between
our Northern brethren and our South IN breth
rem. Let US be friends OF both, but let US be
independent of both. They can declare war
against each other it they will but we shall have
had no ageneyin the accursed work, and we shall
possess right, sacred right, TO prevent our
soil from being stained and polluted by it, We
can say to the U. 5. Government that we occupy
neutral territory, and they shall not send troops
across it for the invasion OF the South, and We
can say to the Government of the Confederate
States that they shall not send troops across
il for the invasion of the North. We can keep
them apart until they have time to recover from
their excited passion and return to their senses
1t makes ones face tingle with indignation to
read such evidence Of indifference, on the part
of protested patriots, to the honor, dignity and
maintenance OF the Goverl.men aud the Republic.
Is it possible that IN such an emergency as
that now forced upon the country by the enemies

Union who desires TO see its glory ID ,intained,

but that which looks to repeing the countrys

P.r.on Bro.ynIow sim sound.


From the Knoxville Wing of the 10th we find
that Parson Brown!ow is still for the Union at
all hazards, and says boldly that rebellion must
be put down If it requires tie shedding of rivers
of blood. We make couple Of extracts:
The proclamation of the President is thus
manfully indorsed:
We have looked the matter full in the face,
and we are still on the side Of the Government
We shall take sides with the Stars and Stripes,
and in the face of all the bullying and buster
ing of Disunionists, We indorse the action of our
Government. Insult after insult has been offer
ed, without resentment on the part of our Gov
ernment; and worse than all, deliberate pur-
pose to march upon the Capitol at Washington,
by the Rebels of the Southern Confederacy, has
come to light, and it is the duty of the Govern
ment to defend it, until the Potomac runs with
blood to its mouth This army called for is
ready TO defend the Capital, in part at least.
THE PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
The Government has, however, suddenly
aroused itself from condition of quiet indul.
sence, to state of intense activity. Dock
Yards, Navy Yards, Arsenals and Barracks
are all in notion and vigorously busy. Quar-
ter Masters and Commissioners are all in con
stant reQuisiton. Troops, horses boats, pro
visions, munitions of war, fast-sailing steamers
| filled with provisions, and war steamers to back
them up and land supplies at The forts occupied
| by American officers and soldiers 60 out to Sea
daily, with sealed Instructions; and so rapidly
are they accommodating in the Southern waters
that the mental vision of insulting tre-eaters
and bullying traitors is dazzled in the effort tc
follow them. We are glad TO see it, as much II:
we deprecate the shedding of blood. 1t demon

SECESSION RECRUITING IN KENTucKY-SENs1-
BILE ADVICE TO Gov. MAGoFFIN. Louis
vile journal says
Governor Magofhn and Senator Breckenridge
may as well understand that they are not the
State of Kentucky, but among the humblest of
the servants of that State. Last, Monday they
telegraphed to Toombs, the Secrrtssy of State
of Che Southern Confederacy, at Montgomery,
saying that Kentucky is greatly excited, and
sympathizes entirely VITA South Carolina, and
that 1000 men of the Border States are under
arms to move at a moments notice upon the
order Of the War Department at Montgomery. !"
If Coy Magotiin is aware that troops destined
to operate against the federal Government are
under arms in this State, he is derelict of duty
in not putting a stop to such proceedings, and
when these demagogues assert that Kentucky
sympathyzes entirely with South alolina, they
are unpardonably ignorant of the..true sentiment
of the State. There is no bond of sympathy
between Kentucky and South Carolina; there
never can be between loyalty and disloyalty.

Suggestions TO American Citizens.


The enemies of our liberties are in arms and
have already taken torcibe possession of several
states on our southern border. The nation HIS
risen AS one man to defend its outraged Consti-
tution and repel the traitors who have eonspired
agaInst Our liberties.
The President has called out portion of the
militia OF each State to aid in repeling the in.
vaders. All cannot serve in arms. But every
man, WOMAN aud child in the country can do
.oncthing. We submit few suggestions for
our readers of all ages and both sexes.
|. Let the men who remain at home form,
themselves into regular companies, aud devote
IN evening each week to drilling in the manual
sxercise of arms. Trey will thus make them
selves into a "Home Guard. and be ready as IA
valuable trained reserve in case Of need.
III. Doubtless many patriots will 60 70 defend
the Government whose families can ill afford to
lose their services 1t must be the care of those
who remain at home to see that these families
are abunda lty provided. For this purpose ev-
cry man, woman and child in the country should
set aside certain weekly snm, from one cent up
TO any number of dollars, to be thrown into Il
Patriotic Fund. In every village, district or
ward the. leading men should bestir themselves
TO collect the names OF their fellow citizens VINO
will contribute weekly tor this noble purposes
Ill. Our churches are organizations ready and
well fitted Toe united effort in this direction. 1t
should be tile care of every congregation in the
iand to keep in comfort the families of those OF
tiieir members who are abse,, in defense of our
country. Ministers of the Gospel are welcome
visitors to every home, and they can make them
selves most effective agents in this work.
w. We must protect ourselves against the
secret operations of traitors in northern cities.
The enemy can get supplies of ar,as. ammunition
and food only from the North Every Governor
of State, every mayor of city, every Govern.
ment officer has right and is bound to stop
supplies intended for the enemy; and every cit
izen should watch with jealous eyes the move
ments of the men who are suspected to be in
heart leagued with the traitors. Make every
northern traitor feel that he is a marked man,
and that no reasonable net, Of his viii escape
the watchful eyes of the law.
Y. Let us hot forget that every man, woman
and child can do something; and that it is every
ones duty to help in the defense OF our assaled
liberties. Let the heads of families live saving
ly, and give what they spare to their countrys
service Let lis show ourselves worthy de-
scendants of the men end women OF l776-
Those who have not means TO give can do at
leas. what the young girls of England did in the
Crimean war-serape lint for the wounded.

Aftsr the ifews of thss bioSdiess battle in Char
lesion harbor, in which nobody was hurt, had
been telegraphed to Montgomery, a large crowd,
the telegraph says, serenaded Jefferson Davis,
and his Secretary Of War, Walker The same
authority informs us, that the former being I'M
well, his Secretary addressed the assemblage Sin
words Of electoral eloqueDce." After congrat-
uating his auditors on the victory achieved over
the hated Stars and Stripes, he proceeded little
deeper into the subject:
mo man, he said, could tell where the wnr
this day begun would end, but he would
prophecy that the flag which now flaunts the
breeze here would float over the dome Of the old
Capital at Washington before the LIST Of May.
Let them try Southern chivalry aud test the ex-
tent of Southern res0rces, and il might float
eventually over Faneuil Hall itselfn -
Z This boast was not intended as idle gasconade,
but has . lodgment in the crazy brains OF the
seccssionists. They mean not only to wage war
upon the United States Government, but SO in
wade the loyal States They expect to drive the
Administration out Of Washington and to SUBJ
due the States Of the North. Another dispatch
tells us that JEFF. Davis is going to make his
headquarters at Richmond, where he will be with
in few hours distance Of Washington. Heck
poets that With the assistance Of Wise, Pryor
and the chivalry to march upon the National
Capital and capture II, proclaim himself Presi
dent Of the United States, and rule the country
on the principles Of the Montgomery African
Constitution. The prevailing belief south Of the
Potomac lie, that Northern men are EDWARDS, who
will quail and fee before the face OF the fire eat
ers. And it has also been their confident opin
ion that half the people of the Free Stairs sym
pathxed with the secessionists and would open
~ join them as soon the Niger drivers touch
ed Northern soil They had actually persuaded
themselves that the Northern Democracy would
set on foot bloody civil war, Mt given signal
from jeff. Davis, and with the aid Of this FIRE in
The rear they expected to hoist the rattle-snake
dag over the National Capital, and put down tie
Federal Government in less than sixty days from
the firing Of the first gan. This preposttrous
idea has been instilled INTO their nod les from
reading such satanic and tory sheets IS the New
York Herald and Chicago Times. which they were
led to suppose reflected Democratic opinion in
the Free States.
The manifestations of Northern sentiment du-
ring the past four days may operate as an eye
opener to the chivalry ard induce them to post
pone SO much of their programme at least
as contemplates floating the ratte.snake
ensign over Faneuil Hall Their Northern allies
are likely to fail them in the hour of need, and
leave them to depend wheely On Southern chiv-
airy" Before they are done with the job on
hand the "extent" of those boosted resources"
will be fully ascertained and testcd.-[ Chicago
