The War on Kentucky.

The editor OF the Milwaus ee NeWS has
been assured by administration partisan.
that the war is no. being prosecuted for
the direct purpose Of aboli>hing slavery,
out :ha, abolition is lhe consequence ofre-
beIIian, and says, We are at loss 10
know how these men will reconcile with
this theory the attack of the administers
ton upon the institution Of slavery in Ken
tucky. Kentucky is a loyal state and is
prepared 10 furnish her full quota Of white
men for he prosecution of the war. Not
withsranding this truth The federal author
iies insist upon enlisting and consc7lpting
the slaves there, regardless OF the Wishes
Of their masters and the avs Of he state.
Abolition of slavery thus effected wonid
seem to be a consequence Of loyalty rather
than y consequence Of rebellion. So the
kentuckians think. The probable result
is ,hs, The rebel amy will get AL increase
Of white men fom Kentucky while W.
shall g-. the y gy~rs.'

In those vernal seasons of the year, when
the air is calm and pleasant, it were an in
jury and sullenness against nature not to go
out and see her riches, and partake in her
reioicings with heaven and earth. | should
not, therefore, be persuader to them (his
pupils of studying much then, after two or
three years that they have laid their grounds,
but to ride out in companies with prudent
and staid guides to all quarters of the land,
learning and observing all places ofstrength,
all commodities of building and of soil fer
towns and tillage, harbors and ports for
navy, to learn there also what they can on
the practical knowledge of sailing and of
sea flight.
These ways would try all their peculiar
gifts of nature; and if there wer6 any secret
excellence among them. would fetch it out,
and give it fair opportunities to advance
itself which could not but nightly re-
dound to the good of the nation, and bring
into fashion again those old and admired
virtues and eXcellencies with far more adj
vantage now in this purity of Christian
knowledge. But if they desire to see other
countries at three or four and twenty years
of age, not to learn principles, but to en-
large experience, and to make wise observa-
tions, they will, by that time, be such as
shall deserve the regard and honor of all
men where they pass, and the society and
friendship of those in all places who are
best and most eminent; and, perhaps, then
other nations will be glad to visit us for
their breeding, or else to initiate us in their
own CONTEMPLATION.

The Forged Report of the COnfed-
crate Secretary Of the Navy.

The English press comments in the fol-
lowing style upon the use made of what
purported to be Mr.. Mallory's Naval Re-
port:
From the London Morning Post govt organ.)l
For the second time this species of fraud
has been successfully practiced upon En-
glish officials, the effect of which, both up
on the government and the people of Great
Britain, must be to cast grave shadow of
doubt over communications of similar char
acter which may hereafter be made by the
United States Government international
courtesy may require that statements made
with so much gravity should be respectful
ly considered; but the too frequent use of
such means as were employed in the two
cases referred to, stimulating the British
Government to act upon evidence furnished
by forged papers, is well calculated to create
a distrust and a reserve which cannot fail
in the end to produce unpleasant, if not more
serious consequences.
From the London Standard
We leave it to the Northern Government
to deny. if it dare. that the cheUelier GinduS-
trie who fabricated this atrocious lie was a
paid agent of its chief Secretary of State.
Meanwhile, whether it was so or not does
not matter so much. 1t would require an
expert casust to distinguish between the
comparative guilt which attaches to one
who suborns a falsehOod and to one who
fathers falschood. No one is better in
formed than Mr.. ScwOrd on all matters
which concern the Southern Con1ederacy.
\ glance at the fictitious report wOuldhave
satisfied him as to its nature. Further, it
purpOrts to have been intercepted by an
agent of the Northern Government. If so,
it would have come into Mr.. Stewards hands
first of all, and it would have been for him
to have sent it to the papers If he pleased.
If he had not seen it until it appeared in
the San, by that circumstance alone he
must have known it to be a forgery, and yet
he imposed it upon the British Government.
The matter can not be suffered to rest here;
it must be sifted to the bottom. We would
wish all men to know how far they can
trust in the word of this Government, with
which we pretend to be in friendly rela-
ton. If Lord Russell suffers by these dis
closures, Mr.. Seward suffers more. Sim
plicity is fault which rOuses laughter
rather than anger. For mendacity we have
no feeling but one of contempt. To Lord
Russell the history of the spurious report
is humilating, to Mr.. Seward it is disas-
trOus. The latter stands accused of having
imposed upon the British Government a
forged document, knowing it to be forged.
The other, presuming on this falsehood, has
strengthened himself in the task of prose-
cutting the most unjust claims against the
subjects of the Queen. In the relations be-
tween the British and Federal Govern
ments the effect of this disclosure can not
fail to make itself felt. 1t is destructive of
all confidence and of all respect.
