THE SITUATION IN KENruckY-The Hon.
Emerson Etheridge returned last night from
Cairo and Louisville. He represents the western
portion Of Kentucky (Burnett's district) as par
tally suhjugated-as completely under the do
minion OF JEFF. Davis a. South Carolina. In that
portion Of the State the Officers of the Confederate
army are nonized, while Union men are insult,
and driven from their homes During the Ian,
week, Lloyd Tilg hman, who is in command a.
Camp Boone, In Tennessee, was for some days
publicly In Paducah, while Union men were
unwilling to risk their personally safety there.

ciPitate Kentucky into war 90 soon as they can
concentrate q Sufficient force on the northern
border Of Tennessee; that they would have done

Missouri.
He thinks thst nothing but the most stringent
measures on the part Of the Legislature now In
session can save the State from civil war II
Indeed, such a state Of things can be averted
ut all.
In Louisville the Confederates are BECOMING
bold and defiant. They boast that the State will
be out Of the Union In forty days. The contra.
band trade carried from that point 10 immense.
ana wieids most pernicious influence. Nothing
can prevent 10 but military force on the southern
border of Kentucky.
From all Mr.. E. could learn he thinks that the
Confederstes, known there as the "Peace Party, ,,
are Just at this time having things pretty much
their own way, and that nothing can save the
State from the fate Of Missouri but extreme
msasures on the part Of the Legislature, and
prompt action on the part Of the true Union men
there, In suppressing the leading but well-known
traitors in the State.
