THE NEGRO QUESTION IN KENTUCKY

A dispatch from Gen. John H. Morgan to Hon. W. F. Simms, Senator from Kentucky, was received in this city on the 8^th inst. It states that Gen. Boyle, the Military Governor of Kentucky, during the past week ordered the Provost Marshal, at Louisville, to take from an Ohio brigade the negroes that had stolen while in that State; that in taking the negroes a fight was started in which the citizens of Louisville generally took part, and a number were wounded on both sides.
