KENTUCKY AND TENNESSEE AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, June 4, 1851.
The order referred to In my last nights dispatches
directing the Kentucky Brigade, in Damp Clay
Cincinnati TO proceed not to Louisville, as stated by
hast night but TO Jeersonve Indiana, directly oppo
site Louisville was not absolute but discretionary with
General McCleland.
From official sources have derived the following in.
formation to the condition Of affairs in Kentucky and
the intentions Of the in regard to the
State
Immense quantities Of provisions have bean
and are now being shipped from Louisville
over the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, to the
insurrectionary States The present Collector at
Louisville, secessionis, refusing to obey the order Of
the Treasury Department prohibiting the shipments Of
provisions South, Collector has been appointed,
who will enforce the prohibition, He will enter upon the
discharge Of his duties in a few days.
The government has been advised OF the openly avow
ed purpose OF large armed force or Tennesseeans to
make q rush at Louisville the moment attempt is
made to enforce the embargo there stir up, il possible
an nsurrection along the ne and take possession Of the
Nashville road. The Tenneeseeans expect, and would
doubessy obtain strong support from the Kentucky
precpitators and their main absttor, Gov. Magoan.
1t was to guard against this that government con-
tempated ordering the Kentucky brigade to Jefferson
vile, to cooperate with the Union en Of Louisville and
The State at large in resisting the intended invasion Of
Tennessesns but 1t appears that very strong prejudice
exists in Kentucky against the brigade. large number
Of its members hail from Ohio, and the called Ken
tucksas mostly from the border towns and counties
Only small portion Of these are, however, natives OF
the State The secessioniss have been the habit Of
representing the whole brigade consisting Of bogus
Kentuckians This unjust but there ia enough truth
in It to give colorng great deal OF scandal and
prehenson Any other federal troops, indeed would be
more acceptable to the Union of Kentucky. This
berg now understood at the War Department, the Ken
lucky brigade will be ordered here and home guard
like that ct ST. Louis will be organized and armed at
louisville. This wise determination will remove both
difficulty and apprehension.
