From Kentucky. X
Tho Frankfort Yeoman makes the following
statements in regard to the action of n
.the Governor of Tenuessce and tho Cou- t]
federate authorities: p
Wo havo already published the facts of f<
tho seizure of Puducah by Federal forces, f.
This has been very naturally followed by y
an invasion from the Confederate forces.
Columbus has been seized by the latter.
Gov. Harris, of Tennessee, telegraphed to I
Gov. Magoffin that the movements of troops ^
upon Hickman was without his knowledge ^
or consent; that he believed it was without 1
authority of President l)uvis, and that he a
had telegraphed to President Davis requcsting
him to countermand the movement.
tl
The result of all this, as we are advised I
from u Bourcc we believe perfectly reliable b
is, that Gov. Harris telegraphed to Gen. t;
Polk to withdraw his forces sent into Ken- ri
a. .1 a 1 ? . ?
luvky; mat ne aiso letcgraplieil to Sccreta- a
ry Walker to the same effect; that u
Secretary Walker ordered General l'olk t<
to withdraw his forces from Kentucky o
that General Polk replied saving that >
that the occupation of Columbus was a c
military necessity because the Federal for- a
ccs as he was satisfactorily informed, would c
occupy the place in twenty-four hours; that
thereupon (Jen. Polk was left to his own e
discretion. c
These statements arc substantially bus- ?
taiucd by a communication to the Kentui- j
Iqj Lpgis'ature from some Tenucssee Com- 7
luissKmers, sent by Gov. Harris. What 'j
steps Gen. Polk will take under this state p
of ufftirs, we are not advised, but he has
shown himscll master ofthc occasion, and (|
will most likely adhere to his powi- |
lion.

They also tired two shots ut one of our s

about midnight, they sent u boat's ercw h
