Curious Kistyyicuk E'0ct-Thc Evans
an-villr (lnd.) .jo~tWsk is Informed by
Judge Law, that in searching among
the archives at luaia,la, he has found
sound some old documents, statiug
that soon attrr the acquisition of Lou
isaua, the Governor and Judges OF
Indiana, who then composed the Leg
islative powers OF the Territory, Were,
by II special act OF Congress, authori-
zed and directed to frame code Of
laws ON the then newt acquired Ter
ritory of Louisiana and in obedi-
ence to this anomalous act of
Congress, the Legislative Council Of
the Territory of Indiana. went 10
work and drew up. and PASSED, and
the Governor approved, code oil
laws for the large and distant Terri
tory of Louisiana, extending from
the confines OF Minnesota to the
Cult, and in those laws were cmbra-
ced one of the most stringent slave
codes that has ever been enacted per-
haps the very code, now i'll force in
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
By this it will appear that Il slave
code, by and with the authority and
consent of Congress, was enacted
and in force for the whole territory
then West of the Miss, mp to its
most Northern boundry. This would
serve to show that at that early day
Congress did not understand the or
diuauco of l7s1 as applicable to tu-

The distinguished wisdom and sue

have marked every act of the South

stupidity and selfislness that have
characterized the conduct of the
Northern, are but exemplications of
the comparative craftsmanship of the
two sections.
From the beginning of the Gov

Union with its principles and states
men, while the North has occupied
itself with schemes making money
out of the government by means of
protective tariffs, fish beunties with
pensions and large grants. The ar

the result of Southern exertion and
appeal; the Declaration of indepen-
dcnce of l776 was the composition
Of a. Southern patriot, and the Con

handiwork of Southern statcsrnen.-
From the organization of the Federal
government down to the present time,
all that has tended tn the glory and
progress of the Union has been the
fruit of Southern minds: all that has
conduced to the emolumeu: of classes
to the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the few and

The Brisades under Generals West

the Confederate service, and assigned
to the department commanded by
Gen. \. S. johnson. The Brigade un-

soon be transferred also.
These are steps i'll the right direc-

the military authorities Of our State
have lost no time in acting npon our
suggestions in regard to this matter.
We hope now that these eight thous

of the President, and the State the
reby relieved from the enormous bur-
der of taxation which these State
'encampments would have entailed.

Gen. Buckuer's PrecIanation.

After taking possession OF Bowling
Green, with the Kentucky troops un-
der his command, Gen. Buckner is
sued the following proclamation to
the People Of Kentucky:
The Legislature of kentucky have
been faithless to the will of the peo-
pie. They have endeavored TO make
your gallant State a fortress in which
under the guise of neutrality, Che
armed forces of the United States
might securely. prepare to suhjugate
alike the people Of Kentucky and
the Southern States.
1t was not until after months of
covert and open violation of your
neutrality, with large encampments
of Federal troops Oh your territory,
and recent official declaration of
the Present of the United States not
regard your neutral position, coupled
witha well prepared scheme to seize
an additional point in your territory
which was of vital importance to the
safety and defence of Tennessee,
that the troops of the Confederacy,
on the invitation of the people Of
Kentucky, occupied defensive post
in your State. In doing so the com
mander announced his purpose to
evacuate your territory simultane-
ously with similar movement on
the part of the Federal forces, when
ever the Legislature of Kentucky
shall undertake. to enforce against
belligerents the :.strict neutrality"
which have so affen declared.
reiern among you, citizens of
kentucky, at the head of a force, the
advance Of which is composed entire
ly of kentuckians. We do not come
to modest any citizen whatever may
be his political opi"nions. Unlike
the agents of the Northern despotism
who seek to reduce us to condition
of dependent .assals, We believe that
the recognition Of the civil rights OF
citizens L. the foundation Of consti-
tutiouai 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
pas and to convert every barack
and every prison in the land into a
bastile, is nothing but the claim which
other tyrants have assumed to sub
jugate a free people.
The Confederate. States occupy
Bowling green as a defensive posi-
ton. 1 renewed the pledges of the
commanders of other columns OF
Confederate troops to retire from the
territory of Kentucky on the same
conditions which will govern their

that the Gazette does this with full sense of
It's responsibility. Journalists should en-
deavor to discern the difference between
peace and war" "There is no freedom of
speech, press or action to oppose the Govern
ment in the suppression of an insurrection,
snd in its defense against civil war" 1.-THE
Government has the right to suppress, by
military authority, every journal whose
motive is clearly reasonable" Let the
Gazette look to its doctrines, and then look
to its acts. We hope it is not bringing itself
within the censure of its own rules. For a
Journal 60 exalted to become cast-away
would be terrible. We hope that it is not
doing this thing "for the sake of poor sensa-

we sincerely confess that the circumstances
are against it.
