LoUIsyILLE, September 5-Tbat portion Of
Gov. Magofin's message which treats OF Fed

thatthe principle of neutrality has been thrice
ratified by the people Of Kentucky at the ballot
box, and that his own course IN refusing men
to Lincoln, and his efforts to keep the belIiger-
ents of Kentucky soil, have met with the
nearly unanimous approval OF kentuckisns.
He says:
"And now, addressing myself to the repre-
seAtatives Of the people Of Kentucky, l pro-
test in their name and presence, in the name
Of constitutional liberty and in the presence
of heaven and earth, against all and every
one OF the Presidents usurpatiens and uncon-

furthermore against the prosecution of a war,
pFofesscdIy waged for the purpose of restoring
the governmental result utterly Impossible of
attainment by such insane means as a war Of
coercion.
"And / protest moreover against Kentucky
being made the camping ground or the path
way for the movement OF forces by either Of

The Recognition OF The Southern
C0DFede-acV by Great Britain.

Two gentlemen from Charleston, just from
Z gland, passed through our city on yesterday,
en- route for home Both Of them are well
known to as, and we can place the fullest reli-
ance on their statements. One OF them bears
dispatches from our Commissioners in Europe
to President Dayis-of their contents Of course
be Processes DO knowledge. At various points
from Quebec to the line Of the Southern Con-
federacv, this gentleman was often searched,
but the LfncolBites failed to find the dispatch
es, which were most artfully concealed-we
know where-but think it imFrudent to let the
seCTe out.
Upon the recognition OF our government
and raising the blockade, our Charleston friends
say, there is not a doubt upsn the mind of any
one in England. A large number of merchants
were there from the South, all Of whom made
heavy purchases, to be paid for when ths goods
were safely delivered to consignecs IN the ports

NC General Battle near w~asnIugto

no General Battle near Washington
Yet--ConEGdeFate flag Flying ga
sight Of WGshingtOn--Fort Macon,
North Carolina, Attacked by thc
Hesssans.
Special to the Knoxville Register
LYEcHBURG, September 2.-There is con.
siderable skirmishing between pickets near
Alexandra, bat no general engagement yet.
Saturdays northern papers state that the
Confederate flag is hyiHg in full view Of
Washington, and express the opinion that 4
battle cannot be avoided many DAYS longer.
Our information leads to the same conclu-
sion.
Fort Macon, commanding the entrance to
Beaufort haTb0T, was threatened on Sunday
night, and an attack upon it will probably be
made. Fort Macon is the most formidable one
on the North Carolina coast, and is well pre-
pared to resist an assault.
The fourishing town Of Washington, North
Carolina, is reported burned by Yankee priya-
tesrs, bnt the report is discreditcd.
A perfect reign sf terror is reported to pre-
vail ia NoTthH estern Virginia. Union resi-
dents Of that region give accounts Of the with
draWal OF northern troops, who were rapidly
leaving for Yankeedom. IN B-ax on county,
every tory has been shot by biz neighbors, and
in several other Counties, citizens devoted to
the Confederate cause are doing good service
in the same way.

The Traitor, Horace Maynard.

The Knoxville Register, of the All inst.
ssys:
A distinguished southern gentleman and his
son returned few days since from a visit OF
several months through the Northern States.
One Of the party heard a speech delivered by
Maynard, which for its atTOcity is unparalleled.
We fully indorse the gentleman for truthful
ness, as we have known him for several years.
This atrocious miscreant said-"We, the
Union people Of East Tennessee, will burn
every house, village and city, and kill every
woman and child within her borders, but what
We will maintain her loyalty 70 the Union.2
These murdeTous sentiments, however, viii
create no sensation in the breasts Of the econ
ciliators." In two months from this time we
doubt not that Maynard will walk the streets
Of Knoxville with the highest magna'es in the
land. We uuhesitatingly say that any person
who will shoot down this monster, after utter
ing such sentiments as he has, viii deserve a
monument as eDnobling as the one which will
vet be erected in honor Of Jackson for killing
Ellsworth.

Never was the handwriting on the wall more
visible than now. When a government makes
war upon women, il is a sure sign that It has
been "weighed in the balance ana found want
InE,o and that its end draweth nigh. Since
the arrest and Imprisonment Of Mrs. Green
bow, Mrs. Phillips and other ladies, We have
felt so assured Of the speedy downfall Of the
Lincoln desB0tisn, that we should Re quite
willing 10 see the army Of the Potomac with
drawn and disbanded. There is no longer any
need Of men to fight the Gorilla. He has laid
his insulting hand upon hat sex whose enmity
is more deadly than all the engines OF war
ever invented by man. He has drawn upon
his foul head the vengeance Of every true
woman in America. He has started into life
nyriads OF spies, against whose subtle arts his
new-tangled system of Austrian espionage
will be aTrayed in vain. Let the base wretch
look to himself. In less than a month not one
Of bis detectives will be out Of the soft but
strong tolls Of The female "SecesheTs." Let him
look to bis men and officers Of his new Grand
Army. Above all, let him look 10 his generals
OF division, and especially to bis raw young
ccmmandeF-in-chief. For the first time,
Mcclellan is really in danger. Hitherto the
Potomac, like seine Of the rivers Of classic
fable, has risen up to defend him from the iron
grasp Of Beaursgard and Johnston. Bui the
Tiver-gods avail him nothing-the gOd3sssss are
on the other side! His fate is sealed. Inspite
Of the warning we have given him, it is
sealed.
The Chinese papers sta'ethat a comfortable
house in Washington, with a large yard and
garden attached, has been fitted mp as a Jail
tor the LAZY prisoners Of war. The New York
Herald, as usual, offers an impUdeut suggestion,
AID urges the selection Of Benefits house,
"Fort Washington" on the North river, as a
pleasant dungeon for Mrs. GreenhOw and her
friends. A grosser insult could not have been
offered. Better they should be sent to prison
with the commouest felons, than 70 the house
which contains the wife Of James Gordon Ben
nett. The spOtless fame of his woman has
been nOised throughout the civilized world, and
has reached the ears even Of the "BaTbarians~
of the South. But Ser vulgar tastes and coarse
manners are not so well known. A gentleman
who took tea win her, at a hotel, assures US
that then and there, in the presence Of table
crowded with people from all parts Of the coun-
try, she ate the half of a broiled chicken and
a large beef-stesk, and washed them down
with a bottle Of Scotch ale. This for tea!
Nor was this all. Her manner Of eating was
worse even than the quantity and quality Of
her eating. Her style was modelled accurately
upon that of the ordinary hound to whom tue
hunter throws scraps Of corn bread frsm the
back porch. Properly speaking, she did not
eat, she gob5led. And to the society Of this

AN EXPEDITION ON FOOT

The steamers City Of Louisiana, Empress,
and Arago arrived yesterday, without bringing
any news OF a decisive character in regard to
engagements between the rebels and the troops
under Prentiss, or any other commander. The
Cypress brought Up three companies of the 9Th
Illinois regiment to this port. -Four thousand
troops arrived at Cairo while the Empress was
there, increasing the force to ten thousand
men. The 11th, 12h, and 22i Illinois regi-
ment5, and many others we're under marching
orders, but in what direction was not known.
It was understood that fourteen pieces Of artil-
leTy would accompany the expedition.
At Cape GiraTdeau, the work on tie foTiid-
cations Of the bill was being prosecuted with
energy, and the troops were in fine spirits in
view Of active operations and decisive move
ments. Col. Marsh, it was reported, had
marched Gu. with six companies Of the 12h
Illinois, three companies Of the American
Zouaves, and three companies OF Col. Bayles'
regiment, and Stewards company Of artillery,
to operate az no great distance from the Cape,
in conjunction with Gen. Prentiss, who, it is
positively asserted, had arrived in The neigh
borhood. Report adds that a large number Of
rebel prisoners had been taken By Prsntjss'
command, and q large nsmber Of wagons, etc,
which had already reached Cape GiTardeau.
TIE Louisiana left Cape Girardeau at six
O'Clock on Saturday evening.

Lord Lyons, the British Embassador.

The Albany IN - Argus and .AVGs (Dem-
ocratic) thus notices RusselPs eulogy upon the
British ambassador in Washington, in his last
letter. Il says:
"This eulogy upon Lord Lyons will be
laughed at by every one in Washington. He
has, from the beginning, not only sympathized,
but secretly co-operated with the Confederates.
The evidence has been published also, to show
that Mr.. Ru sell himself, in concert with Bou-
lightly, sent Prescott TO negotiate with JEFF
Davis for the acceptance by the COnfederates
Of the articles of the Congress of Paris, with
the exception Of our pTiVateering clause.
Why does not our vigorous gOvernm ut arrest
Mr.. Russell, if be is thus secretly negotiating
with the enemy?"

RusScII's Last Bettcr--The Foreign
Ministers 1T MakhEmgE0n.

ministers at Washington.
RusselPs last letter from Washington makes
a point which is thus noticed in FOTney's Phil
adelphia Press:
One point in his last letter, which we pub
lished yesterday, merits attention. Il accuses
the French and Russian ministers at Washing
ton, and indeed all the foreign diplomatic
chiefs in that city, with the exception Of the
"discrset and loyal Hoblemen VINO represent
Great Britain" as decidedly being on he side
Of the rebels, and Of not observing faithfully
all engagements to actually existing powers"
and of not seduIoUs'y a~voidiyg "ali occasions
Of ofenss or irrItabIlity to an irritable people,
rendered more than usually so by the evil days
which have fallen upon them"
Mr.. Russell, We understand, has freely
moved in the foreign diplomatic circle at
Washington, and may be supposed to give, in
the above quoted sentences, as the result of his
personal observation. 1t remains to be seen
how his foreign friends will bear this oveTcom-
municatiyeness Il is not usual for gentlemen
admitted into any social circle, general or po-
liticsl, to put into print his impressions or
knowledge Of their opinions upon certain deli
cate subjects. Mr.. Russell, We fear, has put
himself into trouble.
At the same time we have little doubt Of tie
general correctness Of what be has said re-
s~pectiug the leaning of the foreign Ministers
in Washington to the South. II t%allies, very
exactly, with what general report in that city
has circulated ever since the rebellion attempt
ed to assume a " belligeFent" form. But this
same common report has not excepted LORD
Lyons as Mr.. Russell does. On the contrary.
It has not thought Of connecting his Lord
ships name in one sentence with the word
a" neutrality

We take tbe following from the Petersburg
Express, Of the 2I instant:
Oar latest adviccs from North Carolina are
up 70 HiHe O'Clock last night. At that hour it
was known in Goldsboro' that a formidable
Yankee fleet was in sight Of Fort Mscon, and
an attack this morning, even If deferred until
daylight, will not surprise the garrison. We
are pleased to hear that they are we'll prepared
fer an assault, and will resist with 2 deteTIni-
nation and daring worthy Of the glorious cause
in which they are engaged. Fort Macon com
mands the entrance to Beaufort harboT, and is
said to be the most formidable fertilization on
the North Carolina coast.
It was reported ia Go'jsbor5' last night, that
the Yankee pirates had burned the f0grishing
and spirited little town Of Washington, in
Beaufort county, but the report needed con-
fFmation. We may add that it was generally
discredIted.

continue all over the State, and every man in
it is prepared to die in dslslse OF bis native
soil if necessary.
