| We have another dull day to report in CONNER

prices Of most OF the leading articles OF trade
| III the downward scale, as our merchants have no
outlet for their sales. No shipments can be made
over the Nashville railroad. unless the party ship

| this port, and this cannot be obtained for the
transportation Of leading articles of trade. The
products of Kentucky have always been sold to
| the South. This market has been shut out from us
| by the unlawful embargo laid upon our trade, and
when it is animated that our merchants will CON
test the legality Of Lincoln's bluckading our port
| knowingil to be unconstitutional, the press OF the
| North come out and urge the sending of Lincoln
hirelings to this place, to put Louisville under mill
tary law, the same St. Louis and Baltimore, and
in this way to eifectually blockade our port, and
ruin our business men. The farmers who have
harvested large crops, and who have expected to
get good prices for their laboTs, will now have to
hold their grain, as our merchants will be unable
to buy it, when they have no market to ship it to-
and thus not only the merchant and mechanic, but
| the farmer also, must have his means OF support
| taken from him.
