LOUISVILLE, Aug. 29.--It Is supposed
that the Southern Telegraph line will not
be interrupted until after the meeting of
the Union members of the Kentucky
Legislature and the Union Congressman,
proposed to be held at Frankfort, and
who are expected to fix the status of the
State.
Passengers by Railroad report that
lIoblitzel, an officer of Rousseau's brigade,
has been arrested at Elizsbethtown.--
Hoblitzel was formerly an agent for Ad-
ans Express Company. The alleged
cause of his arrest is for cutting down q
tree somewhere-an old trouble.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 30.-The travel over
the Southern road is imnaene. Trains
continue to arrive and depd eularly.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3O.-It is known that
an order of the War Departments is on its
way here in the hands of an officer au-
thorized to execute it, suspending tele-
graph communications with the South
The management of the lines from Louis
vile South refuse TO suspend till their
lines shall be forcibly or authoritatively
closed by the Government, which will
probably be done by the close of this
week.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 30.--St. Louis passen-
gers report that Jefferson City and Boom
vile are in the hands of the Mssourians.
Minister Preston spoke at Lexington.
He favors neutrality, but he says if il is
impossible, he is for the South when the
imminent contest comes.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 3o.-It is understood
that Lincoln's letter to Gov. McGoffin is
conciliatory; and says he will be guided
by the action Of the Legislature.

Col. Baylor, in command Of the Con
fcderate froces in Arizona, had issued his
proclamation organizing the territory tenn
porarily under military form of govern
ment, and declaring all laws and enact
ments heretofore existing, and not in
fringing the laws and Constitution of the
Confederate States, still in force. The
government is divided into two depart
ments the, executive and judicial; the
former to be vested in the commandant
of the Confederate army. All territorial
officers, before entering upon their official
duties, are required to take an oath to
support tho Constitution and laws Of
both the Confederate and territorial gov

A Warning to Soldiers---The Death
Penalty,


The Pensacola correspondent of the
Columbus (Ga.) Sun, under date of Au-
gust Is, says;
The Court which has been sit.
ting at Barancas for the past several days,
has at last finished its labors. Among
the cases before the Court were one for
murder. at Fort McRae, on the day when
Gen. Bragg gave liberty to the soldiers, in
honor of the battle of Manassas, and two

latter, young man named Robinson, be-
longing to the 10th Mississippi Regiment
land, l am sorry to hear, an e6itor) will
be shot at Warrington, in view OF the
forces, on Friday, the Both instant. The
other soldier, from the fact of his extreme
youth and inexperience, has been SEN
fenced to punishment sixty days and
drummed out Of camp.
The sentence in the case for murder,
has, to. use d military expression, not
been "read out"
This looks hard, but it can't bt avoided.
Whiskey is belived to be the foundation
1t is amusing to see some of the delin-
quents at Warrington wearing barrels Ia
hole cut in the top and the head run
through,) and other ornaments, but they
are among the fortunes Of war with some
people

Salt.


A salt lake is said to have been discov-
cred in Texas, sixty miles square, which
will supply salt enough for the world at
as low price, probably, as ten or fifteen
cents a bushel. The Richmond Whig
says that M. rhomassey, French gen.
tleman, who has had great experience in
the manufacture of salt, proposes to en-
ter upon its production in South and
North Carolina; and If sufficient capital
is raised for the enterprise, he says salt
can be produced in abundance at one
and half cents per bpshel, and in nine
ty days after the commencement of ope-
rations. Besides these sources of supply,
there are others, both in Western Virgin
ia and Arkansas and the Liverpool sup
ply itself may not be more than month
distant. Yet in the face of these things,
remarks the Wing, our people have suf
fered themselves to be panic stricken
and to be numerically victimized by the
spcculators in this article. We really be
lieve there is no good reason for the ex
orbitant prices now charged; and if peo
pie would not be. in too much hurry
they might benefit themselves and in
flict just punishment on the extortion
