On, Reya1ions With kentucky.

The following article is from tue Memphis
.1razenc1s, and very forcibly presents the
reasons why the Confederate troops should
not be wi,hdrswa from kcntsckS:
sit has been ru.no2cd on the streets tia;
The Confederate troops touk possession ol
Hickman and Columbus contrary to the wish
and instructions OF President Davis. and that
they will he ordered at once to retire from
Kentucky Suil. We give no credit to these
rumors, aGd believe they will prove to he un.
founded Our military authorities, We doubt
not, had Information q! tlc designs oI tine
enemy to s,:iz. ID, 81 important s;r;l.:getic
points, which made it their duty to occupy
them without further delay Recer. move-
mcnts Of the Gederals on the Mississippi-the
presence of their gun boats in the vicinity Of
Hickman aud Columbus, end the landing OF
federal force opposite tho latter, clearly i'll
d;ca;ed such designs.
aThc Confederate States have recognized
and respected the sovereign right Of kentucky
to determine whether she wonii attach ber-
self to the Northern Cpion OF the Southern
ConfedeTacy-to ix her own political destiny.
The fundamental principle On which their as.
ISOLATION is foundel--thc principle Of volan-
tary confedera;ion--f. rt,ids any interference
with the sovereignty Of any State in deter
mining its political relation. Much as NC
desire the alliance Of Kentucky, much rs we
should regret her separation from her sister
States Of the South, yet i! her people dcliber-
alely choose to continue their connection with
the Northern fragment Of the Old Jmion. the
Confederate STATES, controlled by sacred re.
gard for State sovereignty, cannot and will
no; Interfere.
" But when Kentucky becomes actively or
p.ssively party to the war againss the South,
when she permits her territory to be used as
q ca,npns grnund and highway for Lincoln $
armies, and the transportation OF MS and
rni'iors Of war to BIZ used against the South,
then it becomes the unquestionable right and
