appointed, who will enforce the prohibi
ton.
The Government has been advised o.
the openly avowed purpose of a large
armed force Of Tennesseeans to make 8
rush to Louisville the moment the en-.
forcement of the embargo was attempted
and stir up, if possible, an instruction
along the line and take possession Of the
Nashville r. r. Tennesseeans expect
, and would doubtless obtain strong sup.
port from the Kentucky precipitators and
their open abettors. Gov. Magofiin it is
said is to guard against this, and that
the Government eontemplates ordering
the kentucky Brigade to Nashville tc
cooperate with the Union men of Louis.
vile, and the State at large is resisting
the intended invasion Of Tennesseeans
but it appears that very strong preju.
dice exists in Kentucky against the Bri
gade. A large number of its members
hail from Ohio and the so-called Ken.
tuckians are mostly from the border
towns and counties, only small portion
of these are natives of the State.
The secessionists have been in the hab
it of representing the whole brigade as
consisting of bogus Kentuckians. This
, is unjust. But there is enough truth in
that to give coloring to a great deal Of
J scandal and apprehension. Any other
federal troops indeed would be more &C.
ceptable to the Union men of Kentucky
This being understood at the War De
partment, the Kentucky brigade will be
{ ordered here, and home guard like
that at st. Louis, will be organized and
armed at Louisville. This wise deter.
mination will remove much difficulty
and apprehension.
The belief extensively prevails that 6
, new levy is 10 be called for by the Wal
Department and various offers have
y therefore been made of regiments add
! tional to those already accepted, but it il
ascertained that no such levy is nov
contemplated.
