To thr // D. jtlorjoJJia, Governor of Kentucky.
Hm • I hav'c received your letter informing me
that ‘‘since the eom men cement of tie unhappy
difficulties yet pending in the country, the peo
ple of Kentucky ha ve indicated a ateadfset d#-
Ire and purpt eto maintain a po-i(lon of strict

the same flora muni cation ymtexpre.-* tour desire
to elicit “an authurilalive esrurenee that the
Government of the Cunßderate Mates will con
tinue to respect and observe the neutral position
nf Kentucky.”
In reply to Ibis request, I kae# no time in •*-
euriugjou that tho Guvermoent >.( the Confed

sire to disturb the neutrality of Kentucky. The
nasernblsge nf troop* in Tennessee, to which you
refer, bad no other object than to repel the law

the Lniied States generally.
In view of the history oi mo pari, t can
scarcely ir neceeiary to u**ure your Kxcellency
that the GavcfTtincot of the Confederate f’tutes
will rontlnuet rrsj-eet tbenrutrallty of Kentuc

But neutrality, to be rntitlrd to respect, must
be strictly maintained between both parties; <>r if
the door bo opened on the one side for aggres

The Southern Exprea CoßpMy.
In our yesterday's appeared a coiurnu
nicalion over the signature of “Columbu*” 1
uddresKed to H. B. Plant E*q., Preeidenl of 1
tlie Southern Kxprei*Company. We admit
ted it into our column* bec#u*c it came frotna
responsible An*l respectable individual, vra*
respectful in its tone, and for the additional
reason, that it asked information which wc
think Mr. Riant, If for no other reason, ought in
justice to the Company, to disclose. From the
a/ow ea connection of certain gentlemen with
ttfis Company, and from other facts, as well as
fryin the uhsence of any good evidence tu the
contrary, we Imvc thought and Itill tlsink that
it is m good faith a Southern institution, but
His very evident that Ihe opinion i* not uni
versal, and we trust that Mr. Plant will not
shrink from any reasonable effort to satisfy the
pubi c up*in this subject. We will cheerfully
publish any reply from him l< the communi
cation of “Columbus.”
JPiD We conversed yesterday, says the
Nashville Union and American, with a gen
tleuianof this State who hat recently traveled
considerably over Boitbem Kentucky during
the past two weeks, and he informed us that in
all the portions lie visited he found only two
men who were in favor of sustaining Lincoln.
Ho fonnd a considerable number of Union
men, who favored the neutrality of Kentucky,
but as between Lmcoin’and the fcfonth, they
were decidedly for the Sooth. Our informant
was at Rosselrille on Saturday, during the pro
gress of the agricultural fair, and a very large
mini her were in attendance. A full political
meeting was held during the day, and al
who were in favor ofthc South were requestedl
to indicate it by taking position at a particu
lar point, when every men in the crowd, ex
cept one stepped to the point indicated, and
that one wn* an invalid, but he told
them that be was with them in senti
ment. Our informant was greatly encour
aged witli w hat he saw and heard. He was
assured that large accessions were daily being
mads io the Southern cause ail over the State.
The Pouthero men in Southern Kentucky had
determined that they would not ship their pro
duce to Louisville. They desired the South to
I.ave it, and if it is wanted it can be had.
