t1tude to the Union, and the even probability

Of sheir nefarlous endeavor, have drawn all

LEXINGTON, Aug. 2s.
It is much feared that our sacassionists,
aided by the Confederate States, will speedily
llapgurate civil war in Kentucky. The pre-
sent signs Of the times are exceedingly omi
nous. The whole OF the leaders Ct that party
have, eSer since tbs late election was decided
by an immense majority for the U1ion candi-
dates, been operating IN The field scNh double
activity.
Although they promised to abide by The de
clElon OF the pe2ple in that Hle1tion, we learn
AoH tIaL suNiG IA tAt!r ActlFe men nave as
serted that this gotc Of Kentucky will not be
at al regarded, but thAt shs shall be forced out
Of the Union.
Pic-nics aad barbecues AID active canvass
ing are still carried on, and have been, more
actively after the election than before 1t ;
camps Of Eecessionists are forming in the
State; large gathering is to bs held, iEcIud-
ing the armed state GnaTd, in Owen county,
Mar the State Capital, shortly after our Legis.

| As We have often predicted, Lincoln is max
miee, with view to an attack on Tennessee
Large numbers Of armed Lincoln troops, az
sembled frcm different States, are now en-
cemped ia GarTard and Boyle counties, on th
route to Cumberland Gap, and within fe1
days immense Quantities Of arms, ammunition
ano camp stores have been forwarded to thes
camps.
The avowed intention Of these preparation
| is the Invasion Of East Tennessee, with tn
view Of armiDg thst disaffected Population i
that section, and inaugurating civil war with
our borders.
It does appear to Us that our military al
theritles should not wait until these arme
hordes reach CUR borders, but should prompt
adFancc and attack them in their camps, Bot
Union men and eeceasioniss in Kentucky hay
demanded their dispersion, and If Lincoln II
fuses to comply with the demand, as we doub
not he does, the forces of Tennessee shoul
unite With those of Kentucky in expelIin

We sha]l lot wait until tkeir plans are cor
summated, and they accumulate the strengt
which tley desire before risking an attack,
1t is reported that Major Anderson is abou
70 assume command Of the department c
kentucky and Tennessee. He should be au
ticipated, and his armed minions routed bf
lore his arrival The neutrality Ct Kentuek
has been ehameful]y violated BY the tyrani
and she is fast being forced into his iniqnitou
service. We believe that a msiority Of til
citizens are ready to resist him, and the
should be promptly supported by : Confeder
ate force which will enable them to drive bac
the invader, and prevent the State from bein
oyer1un by his bands of marauders and assa:
