The Provisional Government ordered in Kentucky.
--The fact that the Convention of Kentucky, recently in session at Russellville, had passed an ordinance of secession from the Lincoln Government has already been announced.
The following synopsis of its proceedings we copy from the Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 1st inst.:
On Monday last a number of prominent citizens of Southern Kentucky met at Russellville, for the purpose of consulting together relative to the future; feeling that duty to themselves and their posterity, the protection of their constitutional rights, their lives and liberty demanded that they should resist the oppressive legislation of the State Legislature, and the tyranny of the Lincoln dynasty.
They remained in conference for several days, with closed doors.
On Wednesday, before their final adjournment, the injunction of secrecy upon their proceedings was removed, and we have had laid before us a very brief synopsis of their action:
Horrible Outrages by the Yankees in Anderson county, Ky.
--The Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 1st inst., says:
In Anderson county, we are informed the Federals are committing such excesses as have never been witnessed in this State since the savages were driven from its borders, Arson, robbery, plunder, violence, every species of lawlessness is perpetrated by them.
The other day the house of Capt. Utterback was burned by them.
A young gentleman named Thompson was tied to a tree, and whipped terribly, when his persecutors left him, bleeding, suffering, and helpless, to perish, as he would have done but for the timely assistance of a gentleman who accidentally found him. Stock is driven off, granaries emptied, hay and wheat stocks burned, and a fine bridge across one of the leading turnpike roads there was burned the other day in pure wantonning.
This is a fair of Lincolnism in Kentucky.
