TENNESSEE outrages-Kentucky Honor,

Within the past two months, beginning
with the attempt of portion of Tennessee to
forfeit her allegiance as member of the U.
States. her people ha se perpetrated the fol-
lowing offenses:
|. They have seized the control of the Mis-
sissippi river, and thereby prevented the free
navigation of that stream greatly to the IN
Jury of the citizens of Kentucky.
2. Tennesseeans have seized boats at Mem
phis belonging to the people Of Kentucky,
and confscated property Of tbe citizens OF
Kentucky r.al s.
9. Tennesseeans have seized upon the L. O.
N. Railroad, cotton, tobacco and rice, the
property of Kentuckians
4. Tennesseeans came over into Kentucky
and carried off forty military weapons, the
property of the State of Kentucky.
g. Tennesseeans have invaded Clinton
county, and have taken forcible possession of
a Kentucky mill, and used 1t for grinding
grain into -four for the use of Tennessee
troops, in hostile array against Government
of which Kentucky is an integral part
g. The authorities of Tennessee have stolen
the Nashville railroad, mainly the property
of X entucky, and they are using the stolen
road for purposes inimical to the welfare OF
the people of Kentucky.
7. Tennesseeans have come over into Ken
lucky and seized a citizen OF this common
wealth, and 5y force carried him into Ten
nessee to make him serve in cause abhor-
rent to his sentiments.
s. Tennesseeans recently came over to
Mayfeld. Kentucky, forciby seized and car
ried off thirteen hundred muskets and five or
six pieces of artillery, the property of the
people of Kentucky.
Between independent commonw eaths,
each of these acts would be an act of war,
and, until recently, the people of Kentucky
would have blazed with excitement over the
occurrence of any one of these deeds. For
the first time in her history, she has a meek
U riah Heep of a man in the chair, once
adorned by the presence of Shelby, Scott,
Madison, Garrard, Adar and Metcalf. N eli
ther of these ilustrious men would have per-
mitted any one of these outrages to pass un-
noticed. Our Beriah is as fiery as Corsican
where negro is concerned, as may be seen
by examining his controversy with Governor
Dennson, but he is as meek, as quiet, as
humble and as docie as an insect stuck fast
in honey, when Tennessee fairly spits in his
face, and takes him by the nose The Gen
eral Government scarcely dare to even look
towards Keetucky for fear of arousing the
ire ofthe volcanic Beriah Magoffin, but his
COnlSuOldbcb pON lldlIlS, CHu SpuTIl luc COUl-
monw ealth, abuse desecrate and insult it in
every way that he can devise, and Beriah is
as patient and docie as a lamb If Teunes-
see spits in his face, and pulls his nose, the
Don Quixote of estate Rights" may possibly
write Gov. Harris tender tilling and COO
ing note, on rose-colored paper, but will
make up for this humility to Tennessee by
vaporing at the General Government. Will
not Tennessee, while her hand is in, do Ken
lucky one favor by stealing our Governor
Let her do it, and all her other thefts shall be
forgiven.-LoniSviUe Journal. July 2OM.
INCIDENTS OF THE SACRAMENTO SECESSION
MEErINs-The Bee gives the following:
"THREE CHEERS FOR CAPTAIN ROBERTS AND
THE WASHINGTON RIFLES Such was the de-
mand of the people when one of the speakers
at the secession meeting was so injudiclous as
patriots who, when their country calls th EN-
to arms. willingly respond thereto He was
telling how the Government had not paid the |
Fire Zouaves and now that they had fought |
its battles we're disbanded and disgraced and |
said that if the Washington Rifes-these
men who are about going to the Plains for
the purpose Of protecting the Overland Mail
and Pony Express-did not look out they
would be treated in like manner upon this
three cheers were called for Roberts and his
men, and they were given with will and
tiger" added.
SUSPENSION Griffith talked about the
Washington Rife Company, Capt. Roberts,
having as much right to suspend the habeas
corpus act as President Lincoln has, when all
at once, and from all quarters of the meeting,
came the cry, And it may be they will do
it, too, and suspend you with it'll" Where
upon Griffith dropped the subject.

gomery, was the scene of q horsewhipping.
