EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

His E5cegency, B. MAGoFFIS, Governor Of Ken
lucky.
SR-From the date of the proclamation of
your Excellsncy declaring the neutrality of
kentucky, it has been the settled policy of
the authorities of Tennessee to respect Ken
lucky as q neutral power, and TO carefully
avoid all acts that could be construed into Q
violation of any of her rights as such. This
policy has been adhered to With perfect f.
deity, and will be adhered to by Tennessee
as long as the people of Kentucky will act
the part Of neutrals and the Federal Govern
ment respect their neutrality.
But il Is proper that i call the attention OF
your ExcelIency to the fact that each day
brings its accumulation Of evidence, forcing
me to the conclusion that the Federal Gov

b the Hon. B. MAGoFFIN, GoUernor of Ken

RICHMOND, Aug. %, 1861.
To The Hon. B. MAGoFFIN, Governor of Ken
lucky, &C.:
SIR: l have received your letter informing
me that "since the commencement of the un-
happy difficulties yet pending in the country,
the people of Kentucky have indicated
steadfast desire and purpose to maintain
position of strict neutrality between the bel
ligerent parties" In the same communica-
ton You express your desire to elicit an 'au-
thoritative assurance that the Government
of the Confederate States will continue to
respect and observe the neutral position of
Kentucky" 50
In reply to this request, 1 lose no time in
assuring you that the Government of the
Confederate States of America neither in
tends nor desires to disturb the neutrality of
Kentucky. The assemblage of troopsin Ten
nessee, to which you refer, had no other OBJ
ject than to repel the lawless invasion of that
State by the forces of the United States,
should their government attempt to approach
it through Kentucky without respect for us
position of neutrality. That such apprehen-
sions were not groundless has been proved
by the course of that government in Mary
land and Missouri, and more recently ia
Kentucky itself, in which, as you inform me,
ga military force has been enlisted and quar-
tered by the United States authorities"
The Government of the Confederate STATES
has not only respected most scrupulously the
neutrality of Kentucky, but has confined to
maintain the friendly relations of trade and
intercourse which it has suspended with the
people of the United States generally.
In view of the history of the past, it can
scarcely be necessary to assure your Excel
lency that the Government of the Confeder-
ate States will continue to respect the neu-
trality of Kentucky SO long as her people
will maintain it themselves. 80
But neutrality, to be entitled to respect,
must be strictly maintained between both
parties; or If the door be opened on the one
side for the aggressions of one of the bellig-
erent parties upon the other, it ought not to
be shut to the assailed when they seek to enter
it for the purposes of self-defense.
do not, however, for a moment believe
that your gallant State will suffer its soil to
be used for the purpose of giving an advan-
tage to those who violate It's neutrality and
disregard its rights, over those who respect
them both.
In conclusion, tender to your Excellency
the assurance of my high consideration and
regard.
And am, sir, very respectfully,
Yours, &C.,
JEFF'N DAVIS.

In our city during the past few days. in consequence
of the occupation Of Port Royal harbor by the Lin

fed by absurd and startling rumors that have been
put In circulation by psnieists and it is not to be
wondered that portion of our population have
been filed with present apprehension.
We can only say to our friends abroad that while
our people are fully sensible of the danger that
threatens our city, they nevertheless do Eot despair
OF being able to combat it successfully and though
1t would be improper to describe the measures Ii at
are being adopted for the defense Of the city, we
assure the people of the State that military and
civil authorities are theoretically engaged in doing
all IN their power to meet the impending crisis.
We know that we do not look in vain for the sym>
pathy and material aid of our friends OF the nte>

are fearful, with the blessing of Providence on our
just cause, we confidently expect to be able to de-

notice that will accept, in addition to the number

Each Company to be accepted, must consist of net

changed 60 as to permit a greater number to com
pose a company. Each company must be armed
with good country rife or double-bsrfelled shot
gun, or with good military gun, fit for immediate
use. As unarmel troops could be of no service in
the defense Of the State while they would be
heavy expense, here state, to prevent all misap-
prehenslons, that any volunteer going to the
without such arm as have mentioned above, will
not be received, but will be sent home at his own
expense. II viii also be necessary for each yolun-
