Kentucky.

If we may believe the correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette, the disafection Of
Ker tucky with the Federal Government,
is almost as universal and bitter as that Of
any Of the actually seeded States. She
is, to all intents and purposes, part Of
the Southern Confederacy, and retained
only nominally in the Union, by the con-
straint of military force. The oorrespon-
dent writes, that, by the direction of the
Mayor and Council Of Cynthisna, the
Federal dead Of the last engagement at
that place, were inferred mostly without
cofins, in a graveyard assigned to ne
groes while coflins were carefully prepar-
ed for the fallen rebels, and adorned with
flowers, and honorable burial given to
their remains We know the Republican
press so well, that we can surely predict
the line of conduct it will adopt toward
Kentucky. 1t will be as abusive and de-
nunciatory as envenomed pens can make
it. But this, as all must know, will only
aggravate the evil--not remove, or even
mitigate it. Wise men will accept the
fact, as terrible augmentation of the
calamities Of the country. They will Sc
it down as the unavoidable result Of thu
usurpations and expressions Of the Ad
ministration Of LINCOLN 1t gives add
tional magnitude to the already stupen
dous proportions of the rebellion; and on
Republican rulers are responsible, to tn
fullest extent, for the calamity.
