collision. Re-enforcements had been sent
to the Federal troops.
MORE GUNS ABDUCTED.
The Lexington Observer and Reporter says
the State arms in possession of the Lexing-
ton Rifles were surreptitiously distracted
from that city on Friday night last, and
taken, it is presumed, to the headquarters
of General Buckner in the lower part of the
State. 1t is said that they were sent off in
the direction of Lebanon, through Versailles,
and their passage through Mercer County, at
Salvisa, early on Saturday morning, is re-

CONVERSIONS.
The Louisville Journal says;
| We learn from various parts of the State
that many persens who have sympathized
| with the Southern Confederacy, but cured of
| their malady by the wantOn and insolent in
vasion of our State by the armed forces under
| Polk, Zollicoffer and Buckner, are now reso-
lutely determined either to take part with
their State or at least 10 submit faithfully to
its action. Believing, as we do, that these
men, if kindly dealt with, may be reclaimed,
we rely upon our friends to avoid giving
them any cause of irritation, and to carry
out scrupulously the generous spirit of Cen
eral Anderson's proclamation. Let us hold
out in good faith.
Rupell County lies on both sides Of the
Cumberland River, in the south middle sec
ton of the State, some thirty miles from

THE KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE. .
The Kentucky Legislature has adopted the
following resolutions
ResolUsd by the General Assembly of the
Commonwealth Of kentucky, l. That the peo-
pie of the State of Kentucky tender to the
States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois their
thanks for the prompt, fraternal and effective
assistance rendered in arresting the invasion
| of our State by the Confederate forces. Such
| friendly aid can not fail to strengthen the
bonds of harmony which have ever united
Kentucky with her Northern neighbors.
2. That the Governor be requested to
transmit copies of this resolution to the
Governors of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois re-
spectively.
The Louisville Journal thus comments
| thereon:
All resolutions are weak to express the
| sense of obligation to our neighbors; but if
Kentuckians will emulate their zeal and
patriotism, and stand shoulder to shoulder
with them in this contest, their joint efforts
will soon expel the intruders.
ILLEGAL ARREST OF MEMBERS.
The Home Guards arrested few of the
disloyal members of the Legislature, which
| was inquired into, and by a committee the
arrest was pronounced "illegal" The report
| of the committee has been postponed, per-
haps indefinitely.
The Louisville Journal thus sustains those
making the arrest
If the truth were known, they are now
both in Buckner's camp, for no men were
more pestilent in their speeches while here,
and their votes were as Indignantly directed
against the honor of the State and the integ-
rity Of the Union as are any of the rebel arms
now around Bowling Green The Home
Guards had the best authority which can ac-
tuate men in making these arrests-that of
preserving the peace of their homes and the
chastity of their wives sisters and daughters
While Zollicoffer with his hell-hound bands
are ravaging our mountain districts, burning,
hanging, confscating, robbing aud violating,
shall we sit here celebrating in calm de-
bate" whether the men who have turned out
to defend their homes have the proper war.
rant TO stop, examine and detain men who
are notoriously sym pathizing with the rebels?
| No member Of the Legislature would be safe
near Buckner's camp, and Zollicoffer would
not stop TO inquire into the extent of their
| priYilepes from arrest
