Louisville, Sept. 21.-It is rumored that
Buckner has advanced on Elzabethtown,
but cannot be confirmed in season for the
afternoon paper.
The Federal troops are preparing for any
emergency. .,....1. 4. ..-s.ss,e.
Tho following proclamation is just receiv-
ed:
"To the People Of Kentucky: The Leg
islature of Kentucky have been faithless to
the will of the people. They have endeav-
ored to make your gallant State fortress in
which, under the guise dP neutrality, the
armed forces of the United States might
securely prepare to subjugate alike the peo-
pie of Kentucky and the Southern States.
It was not until after months of covert and
open violation Of your neutrality with large
encampments of Federal troops on
your territory and the recent official
declaration Of the President of the
United States not to regard your neutral
position, and with well prepard scheme
to seize an additional point in your terri
tory, which was of vital importance to the
safety and defense of Tennessee, that the
troops Of the Confederacy,on the invitation
of the people Of Kentucky occupied de-
fensive post in your State. In doing so,
the commander announced his purpose to
evacuate your territory simultaneously with
similar movement on the part of the Fed
eral forces, whenever the Legislature Of
Kentucky shall undertake toenforce against
both belligerents the strict neutrality which
they so often declared.
Il return amongst you, citizens of Ken
lucky, at the head of force, the advance
of which is entirely composed of Kentucky
ians. We do not come to molest any per-
son, whatever may be his political opion-
ions. Unlike the agents Of the Northern
despotism, who seek to reduce us to the
condition Of dependant vassals, We believe
that the recognition of the civil rights of
citizens is the foundation of liberty, and that
the claim of the President of the u. S. to
declare martial law, to suspend the privilege
of the writ Of habeas corpus and to convert
every barrack and every prison in the land
into bastile, is nothing but the claim which
other tyrauts have assumed TO subjugate a
fee people.
"The Confederate states occupy Bowling
Green as defensive position. renew the
pledges Of the commanders of other col
umns Of Confederate troops to retire from
the territory of Ky. on the same conditions
which will govern their movements. fur
ther give you my own assurance that the
force under my command will be used as aid
to the Government of Kentucky, in CARRYING
out the strict neutrality desired by its peo-
pie, whenever they undertake to enforce it
against the two belligerents alike.

We are under steam, and sail early 10
morrow morning, in company with several
naval vessels that have been lying here since
theeventful demonstration at Hatteras Inlet,
to an important point on the Southern
coast, there to attempt 10 achieve another
victory similar to that Of Forts Hasietas and
Clark. Il win be, II ! am not greatly mis-
taken, an imposing aud terrible assault, re-
sulting triumphautly to our gallant forces,
and the good cause they maintain. II al
most seems spperauous 10 remark thai it
would be an act Of the greatest itnprudencc
TO venture TO give particulars, or to speak
definitely of this formidable movement; yet
l will remark that should victory again
perch itself upon our banners, il will open to
US channel by which we will be enabled
TO deal the severest blows that secession and
lis enthusiastic followers have ever received.
That such will be the result is my prayer.
The same letter concludes thus:
There have been lying here for some time
past the following named vessels: Roanoke,

vessels carrying over 270 guns number
sufficient to tear away something if they
were all let loose vomiting forth their storm
of deadly hail. Look out for stirring times
in this section before long.
Another letter dated 18th from Fortress
Monroe, shows that the feet had sailed
1t says:
Within the last few days not less than
half a dozen vessels belonging to the block
aiding feet have left the Roads, with orders
TO rendezvous in the neighborhood of one Of
the principal Southern porls--a fact of in
terest, taken in connection with the sailing
of the Vanderbilt, Atlantic, and Baltic with
troops, from New York. Other gun boats
will soon follow.
The Roanoke and Minnesota arc the on
ly first class steam frigates nov here. The
Cumberland is at Newport News. There
are but one or two, even if there is single
Southern port where vessels Of their draft
can enter Therefore, the expedition which
may now be considered as having sailed,
will be accompanied with gun boats and
ships from to l5 feet draft.
