Kentucky LIENS.

From the Louisville papers of Wednesday
evening we clip the following items;
The Shelby News says that the disunion-
lists have established q regular camp for
drill and instruction near the town of Chris
tiansburg, and asks if the moulding of bull
lets by the secessionists throughout that
county has any connection with the camp
near Christiansburg.
The Home Guard company of Glasgow,
numbering twenty-five, were grossly in
suited whilst marching through the streets
OF that town on Saturday by stragglers from
Camp Vallandingham, which broke up on
Saturday morning. 1t was with great diff
fculty that the officers of the Home Guard
company could keep the men in ranks, the
latter being anxious g avenge on the spot
the insult offered them.
1t having been reported in Camp Boone,
the other DAY, that a lot of Union arms and
soldiers were coming down to the State
line on the evening train, company i'm
mediately went up on q car to point
between Hardensville and Allensyille,
where there was small bridge, took up
the rails, bored the sleepers full Of holes,
and then carefully replaced the rails, in
tending to precipitate the train through and
kill all on board. The scoundrels were for
tunately seen by some good U nionists, who
gave the alarm to the down train, which
contained Eve passenger cars filled with
women and children, and thus an awful dis
aster was prevented.
| 1t is reported that Cows Magoffin and Har-
ris have been in consultation at the juno

The Fort Sumter AHdir.

It is still uncertain whether the Ad-
ministraton has really determined to
ovaouato Fort Sumter or not. There
has been no official announcement in
regard to the matter, one way or the
other, but the telegraphic dispatches
and lottera from Washington continue
to state that the Fort will be evacuated,
and some even affirm that a messenger
has already been dispatched to Major
Anderson with orders to that effect.
1t is now we'll understood that if the
Fort is given up, IL will be because there
is no other alternaive--Gen Scott,
Gen. Wool and other high officers Of the
army having pronounced reinforcement
impossible with the means now at the
command Of the government, IL is in
deed humiliating that such a necessity
should exist, but If itJe a necessity, all
that can be done is to make the best Of
it, leaving tho responsibility with those
by whose agency it has been brought
about.

The Scoossionists have al along been
fearful of the people. They have legis-
lated in secret; politicians voted States
out of the Union and themselves into

the voice Of the citizens. Texas is The
only one Of the seeded States where
th8 people woro permitted to vote for or
against the Ordinance Of Secession, and
there the thing was carried through an
der the lash, n very large proportion Of
the people failing to give expression to

desire to have the Constitution of the
Coufedoracy passed upon through the

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore American writes.
The understanding this evening is
that the evacuation of Fort Sumter is
the frst movement in the peace policy
of Mr.. Seward, and is made in advance
Of any demand on the Administration,
as a peace Offering to the excited South,
and in acknowledgment Of the Union
sentiment of tho Border States. The
mode Of evacuation is said to be condd-
ed to Major Anderson, who is to notify
the military authorities of South Caro-
lima that on certain day fixed be shall
withdraw from Sumter, leaving IL in pos
session Of a corporols guard, merely for
the protection Of the property. IL will
then remain with the Carolinians as TO
whether they will leave it thus tuoitly
In the possession Of the United States,
or demand a surrender from tho guard,
take down the American flag and run up
the Palmetto, or rather the seven stars
and stripes
The rumor gives much dissatisfaction
to the extremists Of the North, as it does
also to the Socossonsts. Il will prob
ably be followed by refusal to treat
with the Southern Commissioners, or to
receive them in any other capacity than
as private citizens of their respective
States. To the Union men from the
Border States it gives general satisfac-
ton and is regarded as evincing a dis
position for concession and peace that
will strengthen the Union ranks in all
the Southern States, from the Potomac
to the Gulf. The Sccessionists init
mato that it is an act Of oowardico, and
tho Northern extremists hoot the prop
osition as humbling the nation to the
demand of armed traitors.
Mr.. Stewards policy is that secession
will die out If left to itself, and all irri-
tating nou.essentials avoided by the
Government He thinks that if the
people in the Cotton States have no
cause to concentrate their animosity
against the Government at Washing.
ton it will soon develop itself against the
Governmental at Montgomery
