From New-York, March 4.
Kentucky Alarms—We have conversed with a gentleman of intelligence and integrity direct from Washington, from whom we have received the following interesting intelligence.
That on Saturday last about eleven o'clock, an express arrived at the city of Washington, charged with a memorial from Kentucky addressed to Mr. Davis, as their favorite representative.
The memorialists stated that they had waited with the greatest patience and anxiety for the interference of government in their behalf; that events pressed every day harder and harder upon them, and almost exhausted their forbearance, but that they were yet willing and desirous of making another appeal to the general government for protection; and that expecting to receive this promptly, they had prepared to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment's warning; and that in this purpose, they had raised by subscription 6000 dollars, for the purchase of arms and ammunition and had embodied, organized, and equipped, 1500 men, who had already been three days in camp. Mr. Davis, it is said, expressed extreme regret, that the messenger had not arrived 9 hours sooner. that is, before the Breckenridge resolutions had passed—Evening Post.
Of this sum the present Governor subscribed 2000 and the late Governor 100 dollars.
