vent large fleet OF steamers from carrying i'm

$500 in currency making the business Of ten days. at

sLAvERY IN KENTucKY.

Maj. Gen. Palmer, commanding the
Department Of Kentucky, has been indiei-
ed by a grand jury Of that State for alb
Quoting slaves, and otherwise interfering
with lie slave Law Of The Commonwealth
A depuiation Of influential Keniuckians
have recently visited Washington to pre-
vail upon The President 10 remove Gen.
Palmer, and to order the Withdrawal OF
negro troops from The State. This /, the
iiiih or SIKH depulat'on which has visited
The President on similar mission. The
last one viii probably meet with no better
success than the others Gen. Palmer
continues TO perform the various duties Of
his Office without paying any attention to
deputations indictments, or other petty at.
tent pts 10 hinder their execution.
The conduct Of Kentucky from the
opening Of the war 10 the present day has
been hardly consistent with loyalty and
patriotism. When she saw the contest
was inevitable, she endeavored TO establish
herself 10 a neutral position, with view
OF letting the two sections fight out the
question and joining the successful party.
Bot neither the Government Of The Uni
ted States nor the leaders of The rebelli on
would permit this. Compelled 10 make
her choice she declared feeby for the
Union, and gave the country an allegiance
qualified with many IFS and butts. She has
never kept pace with the times, and has
continually embarrassed The Government
by her devotion TO the system and doc
trnes Of the rebelious States.
Perhaps during the first two or three
years OF the war this was all that could
have been expected from State bound by
SO many lies of interest aud kindred TO the
cause OF The rebellion. But il i, hard 10
understand why Kentucky should cling
SO sIoutly 10 the relic OF barbarism, after
South Carolina convention have unani.
mously resolved Slavery out of existence.
II seems about line for Kentucky to wake
up to the fact that there has been a great
change going on in the country The past
four years. She ought Ly his time to be
ready to give up the cause Of Slavery, and
take The place in the new order of things
TO which her wealth and position entitIe
her A good portion of her people are
sensible Of this, and 1t is 10 be hoped that
they will soon be strong enough to co; troll
The action of the State.

wH 7 SUMTER WAS FIRED UPON

VIII Y SUMPTER WAS FIRED UPON
Mr.. Montgomery Blair, in the course
of his numerous controversies with Cabi.
net members and other officials OF the
Government, occasionally lets out bit Of
secret history well worth preserving.
From recently published letter Of Mr.
Blair, it appears that when il became ev-
ident that military force would be needed
TO suppress the iusurreclion, Col. Robert
+. Lee WAS offered the command of the
armies Of the Union. lie hestated; and
old man Blair was sent by the President
and Secretary of war TO converse with
him upon the suject. In the course Of the
conversation, Gen Lee said that secession
was anarchy; that if he owned the four
millions OF slaves al the South he would
sacrifice them to the Union but that he
did not know how he could draw his sword
on his native State. He concluded by
saying he would see Gen. Scott before be
decided, and left the house for that pur-
pose But on leaving the house, lie was
met by delegation of Virginian citizens,
and did not get TO Gen. Scott. They 500 n
found what was wanted to secure him, and
telegraphed to jefferson Davis that imme-
dinte action was necessary. Davis sent
his orders 10 Beauregard; Sumpler was
fired upon Virginia seeded and Lee
went with bis State.
But Generals Scott, Thomas, st. George
Cooke, Davidson, Graham, Hays, New
ton, and lost Of minor officers, Yirgni-
an born and bred, did not follow in his
footsteps. They thought with Lee that Sc
eession was anarchy, and being men Of
nobler mould, acted in accordance with
their convictions. They remained true TO
their county and the honor Of their pro-
fession; while Lee carried bis ability and
learning to the traitors camp. And now,
after Lee has failed IN bis IRRESPONSIBLE ei-
forts, aud again sNears allegiance with
perJured lips to the Government lie can
no longer iujure, there seems TO be gen
eral disposition 10 place lin on the same
footing with his former comrades in arms,
as citizen. soElier, and gentleman.
Such an inclination Is indeed small re-
luFn of gratitude to the Yirginian officers
Who remained faithful 10 lie country.
