The New York Times is in trouble about

The New York Times is in trouble about
the condition OF things in Kentucky. Ii has
.t last awoke from its stGpor and Recognizes
the vast military resources OF the States
vhich have furnished and are furnishing
troops for the army of Gen. A. s. JOHNSTON,
and II declares that "if the invasion of Ken
tuekv is not met with all promptness. and
with all the power of the government, no
earthly power can prevent the victorious
march of Gen. JOHNSTON into the Ohio Val
lev and the winteriug Of the grand army in
the cities of Louisville and Cincinnati" We
r;lv q change has come over the spirit OF the
dreams of the Times. But while back, and
the rebellion was thing to be suppressed
with ease the Southern States could not get
mn an army to resist the immense hordes OF
the West. By aud by, the Tunes will be
taught other useful lessons.
The New England States and the great
States of New York and Pennsylvania have
not furnished the men they were expected to
send to the conquest of the South The West
has been drawn upon heavily to make up
their defaIcations and now that the West Is
itself menaced, seeing danger Impending
Western papers begin to mutter complaints.
The Cincinnati Gazette asks-"Wby Is II tnat
Western troops continue to be ordered 10
Washington Cannot the East defend the
Capitol? When will Washington be consld-
cred safe? Are our brave soldiers IN the west

trooDs enough to defend Washington Clty-

troops through Kentucky. They were eager
for the defence of the Capitol, and hoasted OF
the celebrity which characterized the move
ments in the West for that purpose bat now
their appreciation of Southern vigor ara
vsIor Is ouickened BY the approaching dan

the fears of the West when be said In his adj
dress which we repubIished yesterday, urglng
the people of Indiana to volunteer ior the
defence of Liucoluism in kentucky-"All
that We are, all that we hope to be, Is in IS
sue.- None of them place too much import
anee upon the contest now ia progress in
Kentucky. So soon as the Confederate for
ees assume position on the line of the Ohio,
which we are confident they will do at an
early day, they will command that river, and
be prepared to make Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio feel some of the horrors OF war, with
which those States have been threatening
the Southern people. Well may the APP
proach of the patriot army 20 the Ohio be
dreaded
The Governor of Indiana may call long
and earnestly for more troops. and the Fede-
raj Government may direct all its energies to
its movements upon and in Kentucky; but
ali in vain. II is the destiny OF Kentucky to
be redeemed, and to take her position with
the South. Her people are with us, and they
are manifesting the fact By aiding in the ex-
pulsion of the Federal forces from her soil
She will soon be freed and, then. her neigh
bors across the Ohio may determine the fu-
ture.
