KENTUCKY ArOustnx,

1t was Fumored in Henderson, yesterday,
that the Kentucky Legislature has passed a
resolution placing the State forces under
the command of Gen. Robt Anderson and
calling upon the General Government to
assist the people of that State in driving
the rebels from their soil. We hope in our
heart that this is true. Such stand as
that by the patriots of the gallant old COM
monWealth would thrill and electrify every
loyal heart throughout the land. The Gov
eminent would respond promptly to such
"a appeal, and the invaders would speedily
and ignominiously be driven from that State.
Indiana is not unmindful that the blood of
Kentuckians watered her principal battle
fields and that Kentucky lives were free
ly shed in driving the merciless savage
age from her borders. She, in return, is
ready and willing to shed the blood of her
noblest and most beloved citizens in aiding
those, who by their acts of wanton cruelty
have made even savage warfare respectable.
Already are orr manly legions posted where
they may have an opportunity of striking
blow at those who would rob that State of
the blessings conferred by a most bsnefcent
Government, and plunge it into the vortex
OF secession and revolution, and if it be de-
sired, thousands more will rally to the de-
fence of the old commonwealth, upon which
many first drew the breath of life. The in
solent assertion Of the Memphis Appeal, that
the South " needstheterritory (ofKentucky)
and must have it though at the price of
blood and conquest shows the spirit in
which the confederate Government intends
prosecuting the war in Kentucky. Tennes-
see has been making every exertion to place
enormous armies in the field, in order to
OVerrun Kentucky, when the autocrat at
Richmond gave the signal. The signal
has been given, and Southern legions-
breathing slaughter and desolation-are
The Evansville daily journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ia. [i.e. Ind.]) 1848-1862, 1861-09-14

marching into the State and Selling
upon the most prominent stragetical points.
We believe the Union men of Kentucky are
prepared for the contest. We know that
Indiana is, and as Kentuckians and Indian
ians stood side by side and shoulder to
shoulder in defense of Indiana homes,
in other years, SO will they again stand to-
rether in defense of Kentucky hresides and
Kentucky independence. Not only will
they galIantly repel the invaders of her
peace, but they will carry the war among
those who have instigated the war, and
compel them to sue for peace and submit to
the legal governmental authorities. Ten
nessee has provoked storm for which she
is lily prepared. If her leaders have imag-
ined that the terror and destruction they
have plotted for others viii never be visit
ed upon their own heads, they will be great
Iy mistaken. "Down the Mississippi" is
now the war cry throughout the North
West and down the Mississippi will its
brave legions go, despite the efforts of the
rebels on its borders.

BG@ The louisville Journal makes the
distinction between the occupation of Padu-
cab by the federal troops, and of Hickman
and Columbus by the Confederates, that
ought to be potent to every one who thinks
about the matter at all. We commend it to
those of our Kentucky friends who may not
have read it in the Journal;
The Courier invokes the Governor and
the Legislature of Kentucky to demand the
withdrawal of both the Confederate troops
and the United States troops from the soil
of the State. The United States troops are
the troops of our own Government; the
Confederate troops are the troops of a Sec
ton in rebellion against our Government,
The presence of the troops of our own Gov
eminent is no invasion these troops are
where the Constitution and the laws of the
United States give them the right to be
they assumed their position just in time to
prevent its being occupied by a foreign ar
my and moreover they are efording pro-
lection to persons and property where only
the reign of anarchy and Vigilance Com
mittees has hitherto prevailed. We have
no doubt that they will be withdrawn
withdrawal is not to be made condition
of the withdrawal of the Confederate forces
Kentucky wants no war with Tennessee
none with the Confederate States; but she
is loyal State of the United States, and
she will be true to her allegiance and to
her established renoWn.

S1~ Last Thursday night, owing to the
negligence of the lanap-lighters, the streets
were left in such darkness as to render
" navigation - exceedingly perilous, espe-
cialIy as some of our street crossings are
dangerous to pedestrians in broad daylight.
We believe that it is somebody's duty to
light the city lamps after the moon SETS
An Editor is often at work when other hon

lively interest in having sufficient light
in the streets to find our way homewaFd. 3

FRoM WESTERN VIRGINIA.-We have sew
eral long letters from our camp correspond
ents in Western Virginia. The boys of the
14th Regiment, and the band of the 18th
were all we'll and enjoying, as best they
could, the dull monotony of camp life. Our
friend George Warren, says that it scarcely
stops raining long enough for the boys to
get fairly dry. Their work in the entrench-
ments is over, however, and they are wait
ing to be attacked at Cheat Mountain Pass.
They have thrown up bresstworks of earth,
eight hundred yards in length and their po-
sition is impregnable. The instructions is
sued to camp correspondents, are so rigid as
to exclude from their letters all information
touching the number OF troops, expected
movements or position of the enemy, conse-
quently their letters are necessarily dull al
present. The nights on the. mountains are
