LOUISVILLE, Angus, q, 1861.
There is no more time TO be lost with Ken
lucky. If the Federal Government fail longer to
aid the loyal men of this State, the rebels will
undoubtedly take the initiative and attempt the
snbiugation of Kentucky, al tbey have that of
East TenDessee, Western Virginia, and Missouri.
The Louisville aud Nashville Railroad is of vast
Importance, and should be preserved 10 Kentucky

ment 10 assist her in this is not even violation
of nemroitty. The S-cessi0Diets are boldly man

Tennessee. Several days SINCE the managers

Franklin, which is within ten miles Of the
Tennessee liue, with orders TO remove the
rails from that portion of the road lying be-
ynnd the town, aud use them on another pOr-
tlon which needs repairing. The road brt"een

could 10 no way injure the people O. Kentucky.
In fact, majority Of the citizens of Franklin
and of Simpson County and counties adjolDing
desire their removal, that they may be less liable
to iproads from rebel sOldery encamped at the
line, But the SocessOni,ts in and around Frank-

our traitor Governor, not only drove oil the
agent of the railroad company, but seized aud

d iced to the necessity Of granting them certain
terms to get il back, if they get it at ali.
These eonspirators are undoubtedly paving the

At Nashville, a few days since the rebels had
another disastrous explosion in their percussion
cap manuiactory, winch killed the chemist who
prepares the percussion powder, and one or two
others. When they commenced operations. one

attempts are uow being made TO smuggle rough
