The officers Of the Kentucky brigade, composed Of two

Cd here night They state that the brigade has recev
cd marching orders for Louisville which they expect TO
occupy In less than a week.
This highly important news as the advance fede
ra troops upon Kentucky soil will bring the Loyalty Of
that State to test. Governor Magofn and his seces
sion followers will doubtless raise the cry Of
invasion, and endeavor to bring about a coils

strengthened the hand of the Union men Of that
State during the last few weeks, by the judcious dtr
button Of I've thousand stand Of arms that secession will
hardly be able to successfully raise ts head.
The special service Of the Kentucky brigade will be the
