The Cleveland Herald inquiries, "Why the
sword of General Harney is allowed to rest
in its sheath2" This is a question that had
better be put to the Blair family. General
Harney was a STAKEHOLDER in Missouri ;
General Francis P. Blair, an Abolitionist,
residing in the same State. The one had a
shareholders proclivities to preserve the
peace in Missouri, if possible, until the dis
pute bad been settled in other fields; the
other was desirous to bring it on there, with
a view of putting an end to slavery, which
he had boasted he was about to accomplish.
General Blair went to st. Louis with an
order in his pocket, from the President of
the United States, to superSede General
Harney, in case he did not come up to
General Blair's standard of performance.
General Harvey was superseded under
circumstances calculated to convey the i'm .
preston that he was an object of suspicion
to the Government. Under such circum.
stances General Hsrney can neither tender
his services to the Government nor the Gov
ernment llupon General Harney. Whether
General Harvey is in heart loyal to the Gov
ernment is point upon which the public
has not been directly advised; but it may be
doubted whether his doings at St. Louis are
calculated, if rightly understood, to throw a
doubt upon his loyalty.

GovHRY YOURSELVES ACOoRDINGLY.-The
New York Times of Monday closes an article
on Kentucky and Tennessee as follows:
1t is, we think, an entirely reasonable cal
culation that the Confederates have, either
upon Kentucky soil, or ready to be precipi.
tated upon Kentucky, fifty thousand troops,
in the main we'll drilled, equipped with ar
tillery, and altogether formidable in the
field. Bat as the collision in Kentucky be-
comes more sharp and absorbing, all possible
re-enforcements will be thrown forward by
the Confederates. They will that their
homes must be protected on the Kentucky
line, or not at all; and so every fighting man
that can be spared from Mississippi, Louis
lana, Arkansas, and elsewhere, will be pushed
forward to Kentucky, to prevent the inva-
sion of their own homes. The Confederate
army to be met and opposed in Kentucky
will amount, therefore, in very short time,
to not less than eighty thousand men. 1t
may, in an emergency, be run up easily to
one hundred thousand men. And such an
army in the hands of General A. S. Johnston
will be powerful and dangerous adversary
requiring the best strength and the ablest
Generals of the Government to oppose it
successfully. II the invasion of Kentucky is
not met with all promptness and with all the
power of the Government no earthly power
can prevent the victorious march of General
Johnston into the Ohio Valley, and the win
tering of his grand army in the cities Of
Louisville and Cincinnati.

Goyerpor DIarof,lp-His Veto.

Governor Magofin, of Kentucky, returned
to the Legislature, with his veto, San act to
raise volunteer forces to repel the invasion
of the State, and for,other purposes" His OBJ
lection is that the fourth section gives the
command of the forces to be raised under
its provisions to the General commanding in
tie field, and takes from the Governor thus
far the chief command of the army and
militia of the State, while they are not in
ihe service of the United States, which, in
his opinion, is in conflict with the Constitu-
tion of Kentucky. The bill was then taken
mp by the House, and passed-ayes CT,

Rebel Raids in NOrth-East Kentucky.

A counter irritation is kept up by the dis
loyal near the upper boundary of the State
of Kentucky.
Bath County, Ky, is on the south side of
Licking River, in the east part of the State,
next county south of Fleming, its Capital,
Owipgsville, being forty miles south of Mays
Vile
A collision is reported to have occurred
in Bath County between the Secessionists
aud loyal Home Guards, and that number
of the Secessionists were killed and the party
routed.
Carter County, KY, is on the west side of
Big Sandy River, adjoining Virginia. 1t is
Immediately south OF Greenup County,
which borders the Ohio River opposite Ports
mouth, o. A rumor of the advance of Seces-
sion forces on GraysOn, Capital of Garter
County, has excited those living near Ports
mouth to resist the march and drive back the
forces of the rebels.
Grayson ard Owingsville are perhaps not
more than twenty miles apart.
1t is reported that the Ohio Home Guards
with loyal Kentuckians marched to Gray
son and killed one rebel and took eleven
prisoners-one Home Guard only being
wounded.

TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS BETWEEN BRIs-
YoL AND New YoRK.-MitchelrS Steam Ship
ping Journal thus alludes to the revival Of
an old project:
The late Brunell entertained high opin-
ion of the Severn as a transatlantic packet
station. The Avon, which empties its waters
into the Severn, meets the river Frome at
Bristol, ten miles from the estuary, and the
Great Western runs trains to and from Lon
don and Bristol in TWO hours and fifty five
minutes. AS Bristol is eighty miles nearer
New York than Liverpool, and there are
steamboats, from Bristol to all the leading
Irish ports, and also railway connecting links
with Southampton and Poole, on the south
west coast, and with the whole of Wales aud
England to the north and east, there is moth
ing surprising in the announcement of the
formation of company for placing express
steamers on from Bristol to New York.
These boats are to do the passage in less
than seven days. To achieve this they must
be propelled at the rate of seventeen and a
half miles per hour ON an average, or exactly
four hundred and twenty. four miles per day.
This is less than fifteen and a quarter kuots,
and is exceeded by scores of steamers. From
the extreme length, light draught of water
and enormous horse power of the vessel pro-
posed for the Bristol and New York trade,
fully twenty miles per hour is anticipated to
be accomplished.

SENsIBLE.-We learn that the Kentucky
Legislature has recently passed an act, by
which recruits for the war may be received
for one or three years, just as they please;
also allowing those who enlist one months s
pay in advance. We hope that this will have
the effect of rapidly filing up Colonel Mark
Mundy's regiment.

ZoIlicoGer 10 Kentucky.

The outrages committed by the Secession.
lists under Zollicoffer and his men in Ken
tucky are going far to ALLEVIATE those who
otherwise would have been favorable to his
cause. Neither persons nor property are safe
under the hands Of his marauders, and he
seems determined to make the path of his
progress memorable by the devastation
which he occasions "In every instance
says the Louisville JournaI-"priVate pos
sessions are seized, thsfts and robbery are
committed, and acts of Wanton destruction
perpetrated, in defiance of all the laws OF
war among civilized nations, There is no
more forbearance or moderation, no more
respect for national law or the ordinary de-
mands Of common humanity, in the deeds
perpetrated by our Tennessee invaders, than
in the proceedings of the widest and most
relentless savages that ever made an incur
sion among the abodes of civilization"

RECRUITING IN CALIFORNIA.-Ac correspond
ent writing from San Francisco, September
Z, says that it would be difficult to raise
seven thousand men in California for the war.
The population is too sparse for the draft and
engaged for the most part in lucrative en-
ployment. He adds: "Most all the reports
concerning Secession sympathizers here are
either very much exaggerated or entirely un-
founded. In few places, it is true, flags
have been exhibited and indiscreet speeches
made, but the number who would wantonly
take up arms against the Government does
not exceed six thousand out of voting
population of one hundred and twenty FIVE
thousand; and the six thousand madmen, ol
even FIVE times that number, would quickly
be annihilated. So the people at the Other
side Of the mountains may rest satisfied thai
California is loyal to the core

WHILE the Confederates are reducing their
army in front of Washington, abandoning
the aggressive policy, and taking away all
the troops that are not required to defend
their lines, there is reason to suppose that
besides sending large bodies into Tennessee
and Kentucky, they will have some TO spare
for Western Virginia. This may give General
Rosecrans trouble. There is no part of that
country where large armies can operate with
facility, but superior number of small ones
will give the Oontederates an advantage
which, with their better knowledge of the
geography of the country, and the greater
Hecresy with which they conduct their move
ments, may be the occasion of some embar-
TBssment to our commanders,

that an advance should be made upon the
enemy's lines in front of Washington, the
rebels prepared to retreat This, if true, in
licates that the Confederate leaders have
pretty accurate information of what is going
on in the secret councils of the Capital;
while with all the assistance that can
be gained from the "reliable gentlemen"
who escaped from Richmond, the fugitive
contrabands, and Professor Lowe and his
balloon, it is surprising how little is known
of the movements of the rebels, even after
they have taken place.

Southern Combinations OF the Capture OF
Mississippi City.

A statement made by us few days since
has confirmation in articles clipped from
Southern papers. A dispatch thus reads:
NEW ORLEANS, September 2O.--The Feder-
ais have nine batteries on Chandler Island,
and are expecting lumber to build houses
and hospitals. Twelve thousand men are to
be placed on that island and in the neighbor-
hood. They also intend to fortify Ship
Island, and prevent all communication
between Mobile and New Orleans.
Chandler Island and Ship Island lie on
the coast of Mississippi, the first twenty
miles from Mississippi City, and the latter
about ten miles from the same point.
AUGUSTA, September 20.-A dispatch to
the Montgomery Mail says water communi-
cation between Mobile and New Orleans has
been cut off again by Lincoln's blockade, in
consequence Of the removal of troops from
Ship Island.
We add that the Hesalans destroyed a
portion of the telegraph liue about midway
between New Orleans and Mobile but the
line was repaired on to-day (FridayD and
was in working order last evening.

Kentucky and Tennessee

The Nashville (Tenn.) Union in an article
complaining of the inactivity of the South
ern troops, and calling special attention to
the attitude of Kentucky, says:
The celebrated General Anderson has made
bis headquarters in Louisville, and his staff
have arrived and reported. All arrange
ments are made to occupy the State, and yet
we slumber on, apparently unconscious of
the storm which threatens US. 1t is a mill
tary necessity to take possession at once of
the State, before our enemies get the strong
positions, and bring the war to our own
door. Fully fifty thousand Kentuckians
would rally to our assistance, who now are
almost powerless, unarmed and scattered,
without organization. Ths phole Of the
rich resources of the State aCould be opened to
US, and are ioouLd have natural barrier, the
Ohio River, to aid Us in our defense, If pe
should not adopt the other plan Of carrying the
aOdr into the enemys country. Our commits
sariat would be supplied with countless ne
cessaries, and we could have q prestige
which would swell our ranks largely and
discourage the enemy. On the other hand
if they should be allowed to seize Kentucky,
our friends will be paralyzed, the cause
would be prostrated there almost beyond re-
demption, the tyrants forts and strongholds
would be crowded with our true and loyal
friends who could not then escape to us, and
the enemy could not be driven from his po-
sitions without an expenditure of blood and
treasure which would a thousand fold exceed
our present outlay. Besides this, the inter-
position of Federal army would deprive us
of fifty thousand strong arms and willing
! souls in Kentucky, manacle the State like
Maryland, and bring the war to our thresh-
hold. This Capital itself Vould be attacked,
and our whole strength have TO be ererted to
| defend ii Succes.fuIly, aphile CiarksViILe and
| other to1Ons upon the border 0Ould be oVeTruH.
| Self defense calls upon US to act with deci-
sion now before it is too late. The Federals
are not quite prepared to act. Our friends
all along the railroad are ready to prevent
their progress, and it behooves US at once to
move into the State. Let it be done.
