The spasm of excitement IN Louisville ID over
The supposed peril of tie city has passed, anu the
town respires with augmented ease.
Tie citizens of Louisville gay they never fot any
great alarm, and that the dispatch sent to the AsSo
ciated Press on Monday last about the lntenss ex-
element here, Bragg with bis army being within
few hours of the city, and all the women and coii-
dren being ordered to leave the city, WAS mere
sensation grossly disappearing the true f'ate oil
affairs
A largo number Of persons were frightened out Oh
their wits by what they heard, end hurried oui OF
the city pelnell in terrified crowds; but those VINO
reasoned remsined and preserved their GOODNESS.
| To-day Louisville returns to her former Status,
Knowing that the tables have been turned on Bragg,
who has been compelled by Buell. to give up any
and all deeigns upon LOUISVILLE ane LOOK al.sI
own safety The Confederate Chief, who, n9tw''h-
standing reports the contrary, commands his sr'ny
in person, passed through Harrodsburg yesterday
moving in All easteily direction and 1t is believed
Lis intention is 10 ion Kirby Smith, IN the vicinity
Of Lexington, and with him esye the State ne rap
IDLY SIC possible.
Gen. Buell. and staff arrived here at a late hour
last night and his advance Will be here th's after
noon. Buell. will soon pursue Bragg, VINO VII. o,
coarse get away if he deslres for In spite OF III
our homes and expectations of cutting OIL the enemy
on nnlnberees occasions, We have never yet done ~
IN u single instance. The Confederates are as WHY
US foxes and rs feet and be who catches them must
move far faster than Buell. ever did, or any otter ~
} the National commanders.
The stores and all places Of business have been re-
crened and mercantile and financial matters are
Progressing ar usual Even the bar-rooms and
drinking saoous have been permitted to throw open
their doors, privilege that is still Denied 10 ihe
liquor sellers of Cincinnati, perhaps because "a
" social glass is not 80 Indispensable to an Obioan
as TO q Ken,uckian.
4 The Kentuckians do not seem TO relish martial
law; and the presence of bayonets at every turn,
the arrest OF various citizens, and the ignorance and
in.oence of many Of the oficcTs-dssgfeeable and
vexatious enough anywhere and at any time, heaven
knows-have caused no little omplaint, and gwen
Iise 10 no email degree of indignation. For tome
reason or other there has been degree OF disorder
and irregularty in the military proceedings here
that did not prevail in Cipcnnati, and not few oil
the martial acts have been deserving of censure.
! The Kentucklans, however periodically they may
talk do Dot hike 10 have their interest," comfort, or
convenience interered with; and not few OF thtm
regarded the closing of the bar-rooms as violation
Of their individual rights.
+ As must have tesn anticipated, the Presidents
Proclamation touching Emancipation is not favor
ably received by the majority Of kentrckens.
They consider il, assume to consider it, rs most
impolitic at this tmesaying il will greatly
strengthen the South and he Of advantage TO the
North; that it will put at least IO0 600 additional
troops into the Rebel army, and convert hundreds Of
conservative loyal citizens Of the Bordes States into
; avowed and active enemies Of the Government.
Kentucky, like most of the Slave States has been,
and is still, a spoiled child so much has The Adj
miuistraIion courted, battered, AID codded her, The
efforts OF the President 10 concate her noior
GUS, and yet hundreds Of Keuiuckans will tell you
he has grossly wrOnged her. Thomas Clay, son Of
the great Harry, remarked the day Of the announce
ment OF Mr.. Lincoln's Proclamation "What are
1 we Kentuckians TO expect from the President
I What does he mean He has done nothing for us
and it now seems AZ if he intended to insut us.
This is u mos. ung atefal return 10 the Chief Execu
tive who, as everyone knows, has shown most un-
due degree Of consideration for his native State
sharing peradventure the opinion OF his fellow
citizens that the of Kentucky must affect the
tides Of the well the current Of destiny.
Il is impossible to exaggerate the selfimportance
OF Kentucky. Her citizens, possessed Of many good
and noble qualities and fine traits Of character, are
exceedingly vain and exceedingly jealous OF what,
ever appertains TO the old COmGion wealth. They
largely Overestinate her power and influence, ami
cannot bear to think that she should 10, lave
more weight in the councils OF the nation than half
dozen other States. Ia the beginning Of the pre-
sent troubles she very anxious to at a. medi-
a;or between the hostile sections and restore peace
by her interposion. Unable to do this, abe desired
to preserve an armed neutrality and driven from
this position she "came out nobly," il wac said in
support Of the Constitution and the laws. Her
course, however, since Kirby Smiths nroad, has /
rendered her protested Unionsm doubtful and proved
that much Of the Administrative pains for her pre-
servation were entirely wasted.
Kentucky has never enlnely regained her temper
which she lost because she could not have her own
way, and the President Proclamation has thrown
her INTO an ill-naiuTed mood, from which she
threatens not to recover. Though it would be
impossible to persuade q Kentuckian Of the fact, !
apprehend the Republic could endure, and that the
world would continue, even If the State were 10
cast hsrseli, neck and heeras it already has done
parialy-into the pit Of Secession.
Many persons here believe that the Rebels never
designed attacking Cincinnati or Louisville Though
that they would have done 20, or may do 90 yet, II
~, .D-4 ~ pect Of success, there is no ques.
on); but then their purpose w ss 70 Obtain provs'
ions, clothing; etc., end try the recru..'s e"pefi
meut upon Kentucky In raising soldiers for ihei'
cause they have been moderately successful though
much less 20 than they had anticipated-ana Ia cup
plying themselves with what they most needed they
cannot have been otherwise than fortunate. The.
invasion Of tie State, therefore. hay have and
probably has, been rsnlhera',ye, albeit they have
accomplished far less than they desired and possibly
they may effect in the future what we do not q. pres
ent apprehend.
To-day many of the citizens who crossed the river
at the fret alarm are returning and the number will
increase hourly. The influx of straDgers, military
and civil has been large this week and just now
the principal hotels are crowded The press il we'll
represented in Louisville; journalists from New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Chicago being
here in considerable force; all Of them somewhat
disaDponted-tbough not disagreeably, hope-in
their expe tation OF stirring events
