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 8th
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.
