REBEL PROCLAMATION.
Gen. Buckner has issued proclamation,
dated at Bowling Green, September 18th, sta
hiatt .lo -.
laithless to the will of the people They have
endeavored (he says ITO make your gallant
state fortress in which, under the guiso Of
neutrality, the armed forces of the United
States might secretly prepare to subjugate alike
the people of Kentucky and of the southern
states. 1t was not until after months of covert
and open violation of your neutrality, with
large encampments of federal troops on your
territory, and the recent official declaration of
the president of the United States not to re-
gard your neutrality, coupled with his well pre-
pared scheme to seize an additional point in
your territory, of vital importance to the safety
and defense of Tennessee, that the troops of
the confederacy on the invitation Of the people
of Kentucky, occupied a defensive post in your
state. In doing SO, the commander announced
that he would eyacuate your territory smulta
neOuSy with similar movement of the tcder-
ais whenever the legislature of Kentucky shall
undertake to enforce against both belligercns
the strict neutrality which they have so often
declared. | return amongst you, citizens Of
Kentucky, at the head of force, the advance
OF which is composed entirely of KentuckiauS.
We do not come to modest any citizen, what.
ever may be his political opinions. Unlike the
agents OF northern despotism who seek to re-
duce us to the condition of dependent vassals
we believe that recognition of the civil rights
Of pit iS ba IF al
liberty, and that the claim of the president of
the United States to declare martial law, to
suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus and to convert every barrack and prison in
the land into a Bastile, is nothing but the claim
which other tyran,s have assumed to subjugate
a free people. The confederate states occupy
Bowling Green as defensive position. l re-
new the pledges of the commanders of other
columns of confederate troops, to retire from
the territory of Kentucky on the same con-
conditions which will govern my movements.
| further give you my own assurance that the
force under my command will be used as an aid
to the state government of Kentucky in car
rying out the strict neutrality desired by its
people, whenever they undertake to enforce it
against the two belligerents alike. (Signed,)

state is now invaded by those who professed TO
be her friends, bat who seek to conquer her.
No citizen of Kentucky can Icing hesitate as to
his duty to his state and his country. The in
vaders must and shall be expelled. The leader
of the hostile forces who now approaches, is, |
regret o say, a Kentuckan, making war on
Kentucky and Kentuckians. Let all our past
differences of opinion be overlooked. Every
one who rallies to the support of our Union
and our state is a friend Then, my country
men, around the flag which our fathers loved
and which has shielded us so long, | call you to
arms, for self defense and for the protection of
all that is dear to freemen. Let US trust in
God and do our duty, as did our fathers.
