AFFAIRS IN KENTUcKY.- Private adyices
indicate quiet, but serious and extensive
movements towards the separation of Ken
lucky from the Lincoln Government. 1t is
not generally known that Congress, at the
last session, before the adjournment, passed
an important. bill, on the secret calendar, for
the extension of the aid of the Confederate
Government to the movements towards n
dependence in Kentucky, on terms anala-
gous to those offered to Missouri. This wise
and timely measure of comfort to Kentucky
preuis es the early realization of the results
contemplated by II.
- 1t would be well for all traders, spec
~nlators, and all others, to take notice, that all
property in the South, owned by aliens north
ern men living at the North or those residing
in the South who do not owe allegiance to the
South( is to be controlled by the Confederate
Government and held and disposed of as the
authorities may direct. Where such proper
ty is now under rent, we suppose the money
is to be paid into the Government treasury.
The action Of Congress on this matter is ex.
actly right. The Lincolnites are robbing and
imprisoning Southerners in New York and
elsewhere, and it is proper that their property
in the South should be seized.
AN Nj. C. FROM NORTH CARoLINA.-Among
all the instances of r~ascality that the war has
developed, nothing has exceeded the proceed
ings of one c. II, Foster, who, after narrowly
escaping popular vengeance ipNorth Carlina,
fed to the North, and is .siow going about
that region ~proclaiming himself a member of
Lincoln's Congress elected by Union men in
North Carolina. Had this man one spark of
deceney in his composition, his wife's denun-
r citation, lately published, would scarcely have
appeared out he is doubtless the smallest of
r all the diminutive souls who have taken ad-
: vantage Of the war to make themselves fa-
! nous. He is lower than Garlic or Pierpont.
! Foster is a native Yankee.
; CONFEDERATE LoAN.-Are the people Of
F the State doing their duty in aiding the Gov
eminent by subscribing 10 the Confederate
! Loan? We hope SO; nut there are many
who are we'll able to subscribe who have not
done so. Now is the time for people to prove
their patriotism. The Charlotte Democrat
. gives the names of subscribers and the amount
: taken in Mecklenburg county, a mounting to
s $50, 800. More will be added.
Gen. BRAGG NOT SUPERsEDED.-The Sa-
e vannah Republican publishes a statement
from a correspondent occupying a high posi-
ton in the army at Pensacola, contradicting
the assertion so generally published that
Gen. Bragg has been ordered to a post in
the army in Virginia. Gen. Anderson has
: arrived at Pensacola, but as the successor O
Gen. Walker not of Gen. Bragg.
Gan. A. S.: JoHNsoN.-The citizens o
Memphis have sent a numerously signed pc
: tition to the Confederate Government, in fa
n vor of the appointment of Gen. A. Sydney
Johnston to the command OF the forces il
that department. 1t is said that Gen. Polk!
name is on the petition.
% SALT! SALTt SALr!-We are happy to an
Of nounce that the day for Salt monopolists ant
: extortionists is over.-The Norfolk Da,
Book says:
lie We are happy to state this article is bein;
s manufactured among us, and large supplies
w will soon be placed III the markets. We hav
examined specimens of this nome made salt
and it exceeds in strength the article hereto
fore used by us.
A late number Of the lndianola, Texas
ID Courier, says:
n The people of The interior need not be un
as easy about salt. By sending to Indiar
d ola they can get as much as they want, g
n. very low rates. Our merchants are constan'
P ly receiving supplies by boats from the sa
IS. lagoons.
y MORE TYKaNNY.-On Thursday mornin
ed last, LincolRs hirelings in Baltimore WEI
he ordered to stop the sale of Confederate flag
badges and envelopes, and also the likenesst
al of President Davis, Generals Beauregar,
so Lee, Johnston, and all persons citizens-of IL
Confederate States. A number of person
y who refused to comply with this petty pie
MT of despotism were arrested. Persons passir
adj along the streets with red and white neckti
s were forced to remove them and one Sc
tleman, who had exposed in his store wi
dow a pair of infants socks knit of red al
white yarn, was compelled to remove thel
MS the policemen asserting that the colors we
Ill those of the Confederate States. The polio
men themselves were heartily ashamed
this small business, and declared that tn
: OF were only obeying orders. They said tn
n had families dependent upon them for bre,
ess- and if they gave up this dirty work tn
the wives and children would starye.
