Kentucky Under Martial Law

The proclamation of the president sus-
pending martial law in Kentucky is om-
nous of difficulty in that state. 1t was
evident during the late raid of John Nor
gan, that very larg proportion OF the
Kentuckians, even of h o who call
themselves loyal, were at least indifferent
if they did not actually sympath'ze with
the rebel invaders. 1t is Impossible 10
overlook the fact that there is decldeu
reaction against the Union cause III Men
tucky, and that the reason Tor IL Is Tue
enlistment of negroes. Before the gov
eminent began this work Gov Bramlette
called for ten thousand 6 months voIun>
tsers Cor the protection of the state
There were very few responses to this
call, and when negro enlislments began
white m stopped volunteering alto
cether. The adjutant general Of the state
reports TO the governor that nearly every
county would have filled its QUOTA ana
many would have largely exceeded IT. II
the attempt to recruit negroes had mol
been commenced. The Louisville Jour
nal SAYS that The white men were obligeC
TO stay at home o cultivate the heid'
abandoned by the negroes, and tha' 'hey
are prevented from volunteering by the
necessities of the case. Whether there
is anything in the complaint that the gov
ernment has not allowed Kentucky SUI
fcient time to fill its quota with white
men, or whether the president ever prom
ised Gov Bramlette t h at Il e slaves
should not be enlisted without the con-
sent of their owners, we do not know
II is useless now TO inquire. The gov
eminent has determined to recruit from
the able bodied negroes of Kentucky and
it is doing it successfully. 1t kentuck-
ians think il best to rebel for this cause,
then the rebellion must be put down IN
Kentucky as well as in Virginia, d
the Kentucky negroes will help to do IT.
It is a hard case for the really loyal and
patriotic Kentuckians, but their loyalty
has already stood some severe tests, and
we think it will stand this. They may
think the government might have spared
them, and allowed them to work out their
deliyerance from slavery i n their own
time and way but since h policy of
the general government is fully deter
mined and rrevocable, they had better
adapt themselves to it. The struggle
will be the sooner over, and Kentucky
the better off. As TO the presidents &C
ton, 1t was inevitable, after the resolu-
ton was taken to emancipate the ken>
lucky negroes by making soldiers o I
them. 1t is necessary to repress the first
signs of resistance promptly, and there
fore military rule must be maintained till
the crisis is over.-iSprinafetd Repu6f'"
