The Kentucky Tories.

We have ia a Northern paper an account Of the in
terview between Gen. Anderson and Tory committee
Of the Kentucky Legislature, which waited on him with
the resolutions Of TIE Legislature requesting him to take
command Of the Tory forces The resolutions declared
that no citizen Of Kentucky should be moested for his
opinions, and that citizens property should be Gonfs
Gated The General responded that he
with gratitude the honor bestowed upon him by his ma
tive State that he fully approved of the resolutions and
would gady carry them out if no. Incompatible with
the superior authority OF the Lincoln Government This
response tamey received by the Tory committee and
rro'ted to the Legislature, by which base body il was
rea.ed with the tokens OF humility Their chosen
General told them that he would respect their liberty
and property if Lis master, Lincoln did not order him
% deprive them Of both They we're silent under the
rebuke. Their basehess had rendered them impotent
and they had no alternative but abjeet submission.
All the signs 60 to show that these wretshes heap
ing Goals on their bead. The money-bags which have
prompted them beiry their country aud its liberties
instead of bsng swollen, WILL in all probability be emp.
tied The very despOt for whom they have licked the
dust will turn upon and rend them. II they dare
mur sganst bis tyranncal edcts, they will be thrown
into prison aud stripped Of their property. This is all
tho reward they get for their sordid suSserviency and
Infamous treason. It Is a fitting reward.

REpREHENsIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN AR

From The Altan.n State Gazette Of Sept 2lst

From The AIk,nsn State Gazette Of Sept 21st
In another par. ,f this paper is the Proclamation Of
Gen. McCulloch cslng Arkansas for five Regiments,
Texas for five Regiments, and louisiana for FIVE Regi-
mens Of soldiers for three years during the
war; Arkansas troops to RENDEZVOUS al Fort Smith
and Camp Jackson Texas troops Sherman and L3uis-
ana troops at Little Rock mastering officers will be de-
tailed to receive troops at each pl CO designated.
There l. a coincidence Of unfortunate circumstances
attending Gen. McCuloch's calls upon the Safe of Ar
kansas for troops His first call for every In
the State capable of doing soldiers duty-ths TO
get I'D the army which fought the battle Of Oak Hlls
Notwithstanding the fact that the call for every

Beard called for ten Regiments more forthe service of
the State. .-

FIVE Regiments of men to Tor TIRES gears, the
oar the Military Board Issue, its proclamation again for
FIVE Regiments Of men to serve IN Gen. kcCuochs army
for ,,oslpe months. IL would seem that the Military
Board, or some other authority know what
Gen. McCulloch wants better than he knows himself
Herce the confusion Of orhictiDg GALA -.
There is great diff 10 the State in responding
to these css To raise FIVE Regiments, upder the call OF
the Military Board will cost the Safe not far from fifty
thousand dollars each, making aggregate OF some
thrg like too hundred and ffy Horsdnd dottdrs.-
Whereas ii the troops received by the muster

State single ceat and the money necessarily tsbursed
in receiving them into the service, will be expended

Arkansas has at present twenty-one Regiments in the
