NICE BUSINESS.
a few days ago, two gentlemen, merchants
from Franklin, Simpson county, n.y., came 10
this city to purchase dry goods and groceries
to carry on their Legitimate trade. Before
making their purchases they applied to Mr..
Cotton, the collector OF thu; port, for i permit,
which he said he could not give unless they
went to the extra expense OF returning to
franklin to get a letter Of recommendation
from one Marcus Whitesides, a notorious gam.
bier, who is employed Us a Lincoln spy in that
county. The gentlemen making the aPplica-
ton were strong Union men, and the goods
they wished to ship not contraband. 1t is q
nice niece Of business when kentuckians are
not permitted to carry goods from one part OF
the State to another.
THE LINCOLN GUNS SENT TO LOUISVILLE.
The Cincinnati mail boat, Major Anderson,
which reached the Louisville wharf some time
last night, had on board the Lincoln guns,
ml,ske.s and munitions that the patriotic peo-
ple Of Harrison county turned back. They
we're landed on the wharf and the Lincoln
notice detailed to watch them. The shipment
consisted of about !, 900 muskcts, ito, 600 ball
cartridges, 12 boxes Of canister shot for twelve
Founders, besides clothing, candles and pro7i-
sion. These munitions are, We believe, IN
route for Lexington.
The receipt OF these Lincoln guns in Louis
vile created much excitement among our citi-
zens, which, happily, led to no outbreak,
though it is very apparent that the Lincolnites
are determined to plunge Kentucky into civil
war.
The Cincinnati papers are indignant be-
cause the people Of Cynthiana and Harrison
county, kentucky, have determined to pre-.
vent the further shipment Of Lincoln guns OF
the Covington and Lexington railroad. The
"Gaaclte* glys
In this city arc twelve hundred sell armed,
we'll drilled and patriotic men, ready and vii
ling to respond to any call for the defense OF
their country and its Government The Union
citizens Of Lexington, also, ere indignant at the
outrage committed, and will, no doubt, render
their MD in preventing its recurrence, and We,
in common with both, desire that this thing be
done 4: once. Let this ~riper0us spirit be
crushed at once, and incalculablc injury, misery
and suffering will be saved where nov they
threaten the peace and well being Of the great
majority Of the loyal citizens Of the State.
The !Ccnflcr' advises tbc 200 armed men

lauces ii they entertain any serious idea Of
