THE REBEL OCCUPATION OF KENTUoKY-IMPu.
DENT PROCLAMATION OF JOHNSTON.
Whereas, the armed occupation of q part
of Kentucky by the United States, and the
preparations which manifest the intention of
their Government to invade the Confederate
States through that territory, have imposed
it on these last, as necessity of self-defeDse,
to enter that State and meet the invasion
upon the best line for military operations
and whereas, it is proper that the motives Of
the Government Of the Confederate States in
taking this step should be fully known to
the world; now, therefore, 1, Albert S.
| Johnston, General and Commander of the
| Western Department Of the Army of the
| Confederate States of America, do proclaim
| that these States have thus marched their
troops into Kentucky with no hostile inten-
ton toward its people, nor do they desire or
| seek to control their choice in regard TO their
union with either of the Confederacies, or
to subjuRate their State or hold its soil
| against their wishes. On the contrary, they
deem it to be the right of the people of Ken
lucky to determine their own position in
regard to the belligerents.
| 1t is for them to Say whether they will join
| either Confederacy or maintain a Sc parate
| existence as an independent and sovereign
| State. The armed occupation of their soil,
both as to its extent and duration, will there
fore be strictly limited by the exigencies OF
| self-detepse on the part of the Confederate
States. These States intend to conform to
| all the requirements of public law and in-
ternational amity as between themselves aud
Kentucky; and, accordingly, l hereby COM
mand all who are subject to my orders to pay
| entire respect 10 the rights of property and
| the legal authorities within that State, go
far as the same may be compatible with the
necessities of self defense. Ifit be the desire
| of the people of Kentucky to maintain a
strict end impartial neutrality, then the
effort to drive out the lawless intruders, who
seek to make their State the theater of war,
will aid them in the attainment of their
| wishes.
If, as it may not be unreasonable to sup
pose, these people desire to unite their for
! tunes with the Confederate States, to which
they are already bound by so many ties OF
interest, then the appearance and aid of Con
federate troops will assist them to make an
opportunity for the free and unbiased ex-
preston of their will upon the subject. But
if it be true, which is not to be presumed
that majority of these people desire to ad'
here 10 the United States and become parties
to the war, then none can doubt the right ot
the other belligerent to meet that war when
ever and wherever it may be waged. But
harboriDg no such suspicion, | now declare
in the name of the Government which
serve, that its army will be withdrawn from
Kentucky sofsoon as there shall be satisfac.
tory evidence of the existence and execution
of like intention on the part of the United
States.
By order of the President of the Confeder
A. S. JOHNSTON,
General commanding the Western Depart
ment of theAArmy of the Confederate States
of America.
THE ARMADA.
"Ion," the Washington correspondent ol
the Baltimore Sun, says
AS most of the vessels of the great mari
| time expedition are steamers, which can put
out to sea when storm breaks out upon
the coast there is not the same danger OF
| shipwreck to them as to the sailing vessels
| hot hp Arm do md
other expeditions that have been destroyed
by the force of winds and waves. And
/ though the armament of vessels is more
formidable than of old, so also are the means
of resistance of forts and other land batteries
likewise augmented.
Our coasts being fortified only here anC
there, while Gays and inlets abound where
troops may be landed out Of the reach o.
batteries, maritime expedition may operate
much more advantageously than in Europe
where cannon frown in every direction.
Lord Wellington once said in Parliament
that ships, however well commanded, OIL
however gallant the seamen might be, were
not capable of engaging successfully with
stone walls. Our experience during thI
present war confirms the truth of tha
view. But sea and land expeditions arr
another thing, yet they have not been sue
cessful in Europe against fortified points
The success at Fort Hatteras was an extra
ordinary exploit and it remains to be seeI
whether that achievement can be success
fully followed up.
Lieutenant Norwood Hallowell, Of thu
Twentieth Massachusetts Regiment, escaped
from the rebels at Balls Bluff by swimming
the Potomac. He afterward returned on
kind of raft which he hurriedly constructed
and brought over several comrades. He is
son of Morris L. Hallowell, the we'll know
Marketstreet merchant of Philadelphia. Th
family are Quskers, but the Quaker patriot
cant cit idle while scoundrel Disunion
} shaking the pillars Of the old Constitution.
A MUSICAL ARMY.
1t is computed that Government has a.
army of about 300, 900 men-300 regiments
Setting aside cavalry and artillery, we pre-
sumo two hundred of these regiments ar
! provided with bands of music and drummers
say thirty. seven each, or an aggregate o
seven thousand four hundred musicians
What a stunning effect this united fore
could have in playing Yankee Doodle to tn
rebels
FoRBTHoUGHT.
The commanding officers of the Souther
army are said to select race horses of supe
rior speed for purposes of battle. A fast hors
under some circumstances of war would Ger
tainly be desirable.
NO MORE CAVALRY.
The Governor of Illinois has proclaimed
TO the people of his State that no more cayalr
