A ROW IN THE KENTUCKY FEDERAL CAMP.

The Louisville Courier, of the 27th, (last Friday,) says:

We learn that there is considerable trouble among the Kentucky regiments in the Federal army, and that much anxiety exists among the Yankees as to what will be the result.—The message of Lincoln and the report of Cameron have caused such universal dissatisfaction as to quite demoralize those companies which are composed of a fair proportion of men of ordinary intelligence. In Col. Curran Pope's regiment, as we are informed upon authority that we can vouch for, there has been an open mutiny.

On reading Cameron's report, some two hundred of his men at once threw down their arms, declaring that they would not fight if that was the feast to which they had been invited. They were arrested, and under threats and entreaties a few were induced to go into the ranks again. The bulk, however, persisted in their course, and on being threatened with the utmost rigor of the military law, they still bid defiance and declared they would rather die than fight for a party that proposed to place arms in the hands of slaves with which to murder their masters and innocent women and children. The officers of the Federal army evidently place no reliance on their Kentucky volunteers.

Col. Jim Jackson, who had been bought by Lincoln at a high figure, and paid for in hard cash, had gone on to Washington to see about matters, swearing that he could not stomach everything, and that unless Cameron's policy was disavowed by the administration, he would throw up his commission.
