Immediately for Frankfort. His mission,
we doubt not, is to consult with the Legis-
lature.
! The New Albany Ledger of Friday states
that Col. Scribuer's regiment would be full
by Sunday night last. We presume they
will be sent to the seat of war forthwith.
This regiment is numbered 81.
:. One of our young merchants enlisted the
other day for sport. Yesterday he was
somewhat astonished at finding a file of
soldiers at his door, who quite civiIly ask
ed his attendance. The young gentleman
is in doubt as to where the laugh comes in.
The Louisville Journal announces to the
citizens of Kentucky everywhere that they
need not expect it to publish speeches or
the proceedings of meetings or anything
else tending in its opinion to promote the
interests of secession.
The Conewago passed up yesterday,
crowded with passengers and freight. The
passengers were principally from Paducah

stampede among the secessionists of that
city since its occupation by government
troops.
| The Newcastle Courier says that Wayne
| county has done less in proportion to her
population and resources, than any county
in the State. She is good at furnishing
Colonels-of which she has three, and an
infinite number of smaller ofieers-but not

A resident of Paducah, butcher, attack

States troops, who was on duty at the time
near the city, as picket. The secessionist
was arrested promptly, and it was the i'm
preston, when the Bowen left, that he would
be shot.
A man named Cartwright was arrested in
Cincinnati with 500 worth of pistols ard
ammunition in his possession. He was q
huckster between Charleston, Ind, and Lou

to get 81, 400 for the lot of pistols upon de.
livering them in Louisville.
The Bowen left for Cairo yesterday, with
fair load. On her last trip she brought
back large part of the goods which she
took down the river. The demand a.
Smithland and Paducah seems to have ceas
ed all at once, notwithstanding there ere

city than u,r.i The demand for bacon
coffee, and srt has materially lessened.-
The Union men are all supplied
The editor of the Baptist Recorder recent

Nashville Railroad. He says he saw nj
less than forty heavy trunks thrown int

for the South. These trunks are carried
from Louisville to Elizabethtown in hacks

his entire business to a young man in thi
