From the Louisville COurer.I
The following circular has Just been issued
from General Palmer's Headquarters, in this
city. The General announces fact of which
the readers of the Courier have already been
advised-that the Constitutional Amend
ment prohibiting slavery has been adopted
by the requisite number Of States. The in
stitution having been thus abolished in
all the States by virtue of this action.
the question need be no longer n subject
of discussion and irritation in Kentucky.
1t has been done without her aid and assis-
lance and againsther protests but the action
having been cOnsummated by power to
which all must yield, it now becomes our
people to realize our situation, and like good
citizens, conform their arrangements and ac-
ton to the new order of things The fol-
lowing is the circular:
HEADQUARTERs DEPT. OF KENTUCKY. /
LOUISVILLE KY. Dee. !, 1865. ]
Circular No 6:
The General Commanding announces that,
though the fact has not been officially announc-
ed, enough is known TO warrant the statement
that the amendment to the Constitution of
the United States prohibiting slavery has
been ratified by the Legislatures of three
iouItis Vi tHt DtdttS, anu Is, 10 all lntcnu
and purposes, a part Of said Consti-
tuition.
Whatever doubts may have heretofore ex-
listed on the subject, slavery has now ceased
to exist in Kentucky, and with it fall all the
laws of the State heretoforein force intended
for it supports
General Orders number thirty-two (32)
and forty-nine (49) and all other orders
from these headquarters, relating to the is
suing of passes to colored people, having be-
come unnecessary, are therefore rescinded.
From henceforth colored people will be I'M
der the protection of the general laws of the
land, and if the owners or operators Of boats
or railroads shall disregard their undoubted
right to travel at pleasure, upon conforming
to reasonable regulations, they are advised to
apply promptly to the courts for redress.

of a contemplated Fenian raid from the
