LAwLRssSBss IN KENTUCKY. - Gov.
Bramlette of Kentucky has sent Il mes
sage TO the Legislature calling its stten-
ton to the recent repeated outrages and
murders committed by lawless bands OF
men In several counties. A band OF one
hundred are operating in Marion, Boyle
and adjoining counties with entire i'm
punity, and have become so bold that
they publish their orders Of Punishment
and condemnation in the newspaper.
DisohCdience OF their lawless mandates
Is followed with speedy vengeance. Jails
are forced by them, and their victims
ruthlessly torn from legal custody and
murdered Those standing on bail who
are obnoxious to their murderous wrath
are dragged from their homes and exc
cuted. They condemn without a hear
ING, and execute without trial. The
cold-booded atrocity Of their cruelties
and murders, says the Governor, must
shock every manly bosom, and arouse
the Indignation OF all just men. Sew
eral cases OF outrage are specifically re-
lerred to. Under the law no reward can
be offered for the apprehension and con-
viction Of these criminals, except upon
petition Of the circuit and county judges
No such application has been made, and
the Governor attributes the fact to feal
of personal danger on the part of the
Judges. He therefore asks for special
legislation to meet this alarming condi.
tion of affairs.

THE UNION MUSICAL CONCERT last
evening was a rare treat. Prof. Mietzkc
gave us some rare music and the sing
ing surpassed many more pretentious
concerts.
"Alfn Brlllar," by Grace Hopkins, had

Mexican News. - Mexican advices
from Vera Cruz to the 18th, aud Of Mex
leo to the 9th, have been received. The
report that President Juarez had been
taken prisoner grew out Of an unex-
expected attack made by MlramOn with
5000 men on Hacatecas. Miramon's
official dispatch says Juarez escaped.
owing to the velocity Of his carriage.
EscobedO arrived upon the scene next
day, gave battle to Miramon at San ia
Cinto and completely routed him. taking
800 prisoners, capturing all his artillery
aud $4,000 At last accounts Miramon
had arrived at Queretaro with only four
officers. Licega, the Imperial command
er at Guansiuto, had been defeated by
Rincon Gallsrdo, and that city had
fallen into the hands of the Liberals.
Maximilian's Minister, Tabear, with q
strong brigade, was routed while coming
from Foluca to reinforce the capitol, and
left 500 men dead and wounded on the
field of battle. Eight hundred soldiers
of the garrison at Puebla had declared
for the Republic, and gone with Zsmo-
coma, and it was expected that as soon
SIS the French had left, the remainder
would take possession Of the city and
pronounce for Jaurez. The transport
lone was to leave Vera Cruz on the 18th
with l 200 troops. The newspapers Of
the interior of Mexico justify the butch
cry of 100 foreigners captured from
| Miramon, and charge them with all the
depredations committed at Zacatecas.

Several Republican senator's will aid the
