BowLISG GREEN, KY Oct. IL, 1861.
The extensive military Preparations being made
in this portion of the State augers that movement
of no MINOR Importance is contemplated; when and
where, a few days will develop. A monotony in
cdent to the continued military occupation of this
point prevails. relieved only by reports from the
interior of skirmishes between the pickets, result
ing invariably in the preeiptate flight fall of the
Federslists. Yesterday party of fifteen South
rons fell upon largely superior number of Lin
colnises near Cave City, and succeeded in killing
three together with capturing about thirty of their
horses; only one of the Ssuthrons was wounded
MORALLY, it is feared.
Through the kindness of a gentleman direct from
Louisville, have been permitted to examining
number of the Journal of the 8th inst, from which
have copied several items of interest," consisting
of news, rumors, aud lies. Gen. Huuibug AMBER
SON of Sumter notoriety, has actually resigned and
has been superseded by Gen. W t. SHERMAN. The
Journal, in noticing the resignation Of ANDERs On,
SAYS: "On account of Gen. ANDERsoSs feeble health
he has deemed it advisable that he should have
successor in the command Of the Department of
the Cumberland. His successor is Gen. W. 7. SHER
MAN. All the true patriots of Kentucky and of the
nation deeply deplore the fact that the noble and
heroic ANDERSON lacks the health necessary to ena-
BILE him to discharge the ardnous duties of his late
position without injury to himself"
Gen. Sherman IS the very man to fill the retiring
heros place His mind is calm, quiet, vigorous,
comprehensive aud resoute. He will dIfuse his
own strong spirit throughout his whole depart
ment"
An order dated the 9TH inst was issued by Cen
Anderson. desiring the civil authorities and com
handing the military not to make any arrests of
citizens except when the parties attempting to
1on the rebels or are engaged in giving aid and in
formation to them; and in all cases the evidence
must be such as will convict them before court of
Justice
. The most, piteous and lacrymose appeals are
made for more men, one of these whining wants
closes thus IAN who wish to serve their State in
UNFOLDING its dignity aud honor as well to aid
in expelliag from our borders the ruthless invaders
led by the traitors, BUcKSER and ZoLLIOoFFER are
appealed to join. KentuckiaBs forward Your
State demands your services-To arms to arms
and drive back the invaders"
To what humiliating straits have these servants
of self constituted despotism to resort in order to
induce citizens of this State Kentuckisns to aid in
bostering up the columns and strengthen the rot
ton spine of their Tump government.
The Journal IN noticing the invasion" of Ken
lucky by Confederate troops says:
.sThe reason why the States along aud near our
Southern border are preparing to send promptly
all the forces they esa into Kentucky is obvious.
They want to keep the war away from themselves
They desire to preserve their own fields aud fire
sides from its rsysges They are anxious to keep
it in our State else TO push it through State
into Illinois, Indiana Ohio and Western Virginia.
For the accomplishment of this work necessary in
their opinion to their very existence, they are
resolved on sending their whole strength immedi-
ately forward to the dark and bloody ground, to
render it darker and boOdier. But the true policy
of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, must
necessarily be to counterfeit and defeat this policy
of the States on our Southern border
And Kentucky herself knows, that, unless the tide
surging her from the South shall be rolled
back, she herself will soen be rendered morally and
physically desert. Then let Kentucky and the
friendly States upon her border, prepare with all
possible dispatch to repel the hosts that have
and are coming from the South for the purpose Of
conquest. Atremendeusly vigorous effort to sweep
over Kentucky about being made, and it must be
met with tremendous vigor We hsvs little fear
that it will not be- our own State understands the
crisis that is upon her. and Ohio, Indiana and Hi
noise appreciate the dangers that threaten them
We confidently believe. that, within six weeks Ten
nessee and not Kentucky will be the theatre of the
war. "
A. j. MoREY, of the Cynthiana NepS, lately ar
rested for treason has been released, and publishes
card in the Columbus Ohio, State Journal, in which
he states that he has taken an oath making himself
loyal to the General and State Government MoREY /
acknowledges that he has been secessiorist, but |
adds that sit was almost impossible, while remain
ing at home, to abandon it." Poor dog.
Officers of military education now form specia
in the Northern portion Of the State.
The Journal says: 'We need supply Of military
utors; and we trust the Government, if possible,
will not prove backward in supplying our neei."
The supply of men to fill up the ranks of their
keleton regiments is as much needed at present as
re officers to drill them. This want of men, how
yer, is not long to be felt; if we may credit
Iotice to the effect that one DR.. VIM. II. Chambers
f Charleston, ILL.,, native Keutuckian, has been
by Lincoln to raise four regiments of
stive Kentuckans now residing in Illinois. This
Military Rsculapius, has promised to for yard
eglment to this State every ten days-fOr an indef
lie period
