LOUISVILLE. Aug g. 1867
There is evidently willingness enough on the part
of Kentuckans 80 take up aims to prevent the re-.
enactment of the plunderng ourages of Morgan aud

is mpeed by the universal dangers to the safety Of
property and persons threatened by the inauguration
of guerrilla warfare upon the soil Of the State. War

even in this rich City OF L,nisvle has dollar been
raised for that purpose. Indifference. wal, Of spon-

sorry authority, is apparent everywhere.
