as well a. the belief of such Union mer

Kentucky is IN Imminent danger. and /:
in fact just trembling in the balance be.

federacy,
Inc Old secession party IS strengthen
ed by the virtual accession of a large
element represented by such men as Gov.
Wickli1e and guerrilla uprisings are
taken as indicating a desire to feed the
public fentiment of The State. and inhame
young men with the idea Of becoming re.
newned chieftalns, like Morgan.
Fears are expressed of an attempt by
secessionists and guerrillas to seize the
polls and control the State election, In
many portions of the State, on next Mon.
day. The election is not one Of special
Importance, but it is feared they will
seize upon it as a good opportunity for
rising and oVerawing the Union voters
committing excuses, end securing the
machinery of county governments, as an
aid to their schemes in future.
Whether this takes place or not, it is
regarded as certain that the secessionists
are more powerful and dangerous than
ever in Kentucky, now, and it is believed
that atanyr rate they will, if not ~overawed,
interfere with the extra session of the
Legislature just called by Gov. Magofin.
This call is understood 10 have been at
the instance of Union men. Gov. Ma
coffin is said to have been forced into it
and it is understood the idea was to get
rid of Gov. Magofin.

at this lime of having a reliable
and loyal Governor for the State. and
hoped that they may be eble 70 devise
some plan y which Lieut.. Governor Fisk
can Be clothed with al the present power.
