to explode. The Lincoln troops have aebi1v-
ed the capture of Padncah, with a feet OF
gun boats aud transports aud some five thou
sand men. They are now in possession of
that uuresisting town. OF course it is to be
used as a base of operations for the subjuga-

Tennessee and the South. The war may be
CONSIDERED as inangurated in Kentucky. The
actual fighting will be postponed until the

This will not be long. The people of the
State will take sides according to their in

foreseen from the beginning, and are pre-
pared for it. If Kentucky stays in the Union
and furnishes men and money to Lincoln to
carry on his iniquitous, atroeious war, she is
lust as much an enemy of Tennessee and the
South as Michigan or Massachusetts,. Those
of her citizens who do so are our enemies.
This is certain. But we have our friends

not pay money to Lincoln, but will take up

But whatever the Legislature may do, the

A PATRIOTIC CHAPLAIN.-'Se de Kay"
writes to the Louisville Courier, from Camp
Barlow, near Manassas:
/ believe it was Gen. Albert Sidney John
ston who, during the Utah war, proclaimed
that there would be no more Sabbaths until
further orders. Such has been the practice
with all commanders, the first day of the
week being held in no more reverence than
those others of the seven named after the
profane deities. Yet, in this army of ours,
there is a certain recognition of Sunday that
renders it in some degree distingulshable.
Clean shirts are donned, boots BACKED, and
the semblance of home fashions put on.
Drills are dispensed with, and in lieu there is
inspection and dress parade, when the soldier
boys assume their prettiest appearance. Then
there is lolling in the shade. cleaning guns.

two hours previous to his departure there had
been, off st. Augustine, an exchange OF shots

Padueah in Possession OF the Linz
eOfnfIes.

COIn1Less
A brief Geographic despatch, which will
he found in another column, announces that
Gen GRANT, a Federal officer, has taken pos
session of Paducah, KY, and Issued procla-
nation announcing the conditions on which
he will abandon the place. We learn from
gentleman of this city who was on his way to
Paducah, but did not get nearer than mile
of tbs depot, the railrod train having been
stopped to prevent its falling into the posses
sion of the Federalists, that about 5 O'Clock,
A. NJ, Friday, gun boat landed at tue
wharf and another, accompanied by several
transports with troops to the number of 1000
or 4, 900, landed lower down the river. The
former sent up to town for the Mayor, whilst
the latter were disembarked and marched,
some to the railroad depot, and others to the
town. A great many citizens experimenting
that hostilties were about to commence, ran
of. some of them escaping only half dressed.
The train on which our citizen was passen-
ger, returned to the place from whence 1t
started, and he was denied the satisfaction OF
seeing PadGeah. The cause OF this invasion
of Kentucky is matter of conjecture only,
at present, the meagre statement OF the con-
tents of Gen. GRANTS proclamation furnish
ed US by telegraph being insufficient to give
us clear idea of the reasons for his course.
We do not doubt, however, that the sympa-
this of the people of the place with the
South. lie at the bottom of the movement.
I'm no part of Kentucky has the South warm
or or more determined friends.
Kentucky has endeavored to maintain
nosition of neutrality in the great revolution
in which her Southern sisters are engaged. 1t
is position which we regarded as an impos-
sibility; and as liable to place her helpless IN
the power of the common enemy. The Con-
federate States have, however, esteemed 1t
proper to respect her determination and to
await the issue, which is now approaching
.olution. II would seem, as foretOld, that to
Mace herself in her true position, side by
side with the States which have shaken Off
.be Union. will be different matter, inVolV-
ing bloody contest between her own citizens
This might have been avoided had she fol-
lowed the example of Tennessee, but she
must now meet the crisis as becomes her.
She will find Tennessee, if needed, an active
and powerful ally to expel the Federalists
from her borders; but If sic prefer to make
our State her enemy, painful as the occur
renee would be, we could not decline 10 meet
all the responsibilities attending the change
in our relations But we will not judge Ken
lucky in advance. Her true interests are
With Tennessee and surely she cannot prove
reefeant to them.
