Kentuckians Rallying.

The news from Kentucky, though without those particulars necessary to a full understanding of the real condition of affairs in that State, is never the less encouraging. The spirit of the people is aroused, and throughout the State they are throwing off the shackles that bound them, and asserting their determination to be free. A dispatch from Gen. Kirby Smith, dated Lexington. Ky., Sept. 5th, appeals for arms for the Kentuckians who are flocking to his standard. He says in his dispatch that the people are rising rising en masse. and that he could at that time, add 20,000 men to his column, he had arms for them.
