Difficulties between the States of Ten
nessee and Kentucky.


ing between Tennessee and Kentucky Since
the secession of the former State, there have
been many outrages committed against the
peace and dignity of Kentucky, and matters
have come to such pitch now, that the
Union men of Kentucky, who constitute
majority of the people of the State, will not
stand it any longer. The most important of
these outrages is the seizure of railroad cars
and locomotives on the Louisville and Nash
vile Road, and the ClarksRile road, connect
ing Bowling Green with ClarksVille Tennes
see The train which left Louisville July Sd:
was forcibly seized by Tennessee authorities,
freight trains have been seized ikewise. On
the 4th of July the train from Louisville to
Nashville was seized, and the train from
Nashville to Louisville, both on the State
line, by General Anderson, of the Tennessee
troops The preteXt, in the latter case, was
that there was more than fair proportion
Of the rolling stock on the Louisville end of
the road, but this was mere pretext. The
probability is that Kentucky will retaliate
by seizing all the road within her own SOW
eregn limits.
The Louisville Journal says Of the matter:
" We presume that Tennessee has shut down
upon our cars and freight on the railroad,
Just as she has shut down upon our steamboats,
and freight on the Mississippi river. Il is
most tyrannical and fagitious proceeding.
If not wer, it is calculated and probably in-
tended to force war. We are not prepared
at this moment to say what Kentucky ought
to do in view of the hostile and atrocious
policy adopted towards her by Tennessee.
We have no doubt that her course will prove
worthy of her as q champion of peace, but
not less a champion of her own rights. 1t
is probable there are traitors among us who
will attempt to justify or paliate this action
of Tennessee. Let us see who they are"

have declined to accept promotion in the new

INDIAN HosrlurIEs IN TRINIrY.-The Dou-
glas City Gazette, of July Nth, relates the
following
band of the Yuka Indians, some ten or
twelve in number. who have been prowling
around the Hay Fork country for some time
past. last Saturday made an attack upon the
cabins of some of the setl lers n2ar Kellogg S
Diggings. Among others they vert to the
house of a man by the name of Byron, and
called to him to come out, which he, suppos
ing them to be friendly Indians, accordingly
did. As he was advancing towards them
with his arms folded, two or three of them
fired at Kim az the same time, shooting him
in the breast, inficting a severe flesh wound
on the left arm below the elbow, and break
ing both bones of the right arm near the
wrist Byron succeeded in regaining his
cabin, where, fastening the door, he stood
against it until assistance could be obtained.
Dr. Davis of Weaverville, who dressed his
wounds, thinks that care and attention may
save the arm.
This band of Indans are undoubtedly the
same ones VINO burned Middleton's store last
week, and seem bent on mischief and re-
venge. We have heard reports of the man
ner in which Indians have been treated in
that region, which, if true, place some of the
whites in the position of aggressors How
correct it may be we do not know, but we
hear that an Indian was shot without iustifi-
able cause, and his scalp nailed to a post.
If such be the case, we cannot wonder that
the Indians should seek revenge, and, as in
this instance, make the innocent suffer their
vengeance.
