We regard the progress Of the contest in Eeu-
tueky as highly favorable to the Southern cause,
and promising brilliant Tesulta. The light Of an
aRspieious destiny beams at last upon that noble
state The dark clouds Of ignominy and disaster
which had gathered over her future prospects
begin to break away and let in the cheerful ann
shine-of hope. The day of her deIiyerance dawus
upon us: u.s., Her invaders and betrayers already

that they have been seduced from their alierance
to the Union by the market which the Confederate
army has afforded them for their produce al re-

Beneath the assumed attachment to the Union
on winch Lincoln has been indneed to rely, there
thro3s IN the Kentucky heart an irrepressible
southern feeiing, 1nbern and ineradieabfe, which
only awaits the opportunity to manifest itaeR in
acts OF heroic devotion This fact ID demonstrated
by the alacrity with which the Home Guards threw
down Eincoln's guns and the refusal of Kentuek-
ians to enlist in bis service. The history Of the
war thus far proves satisfactorily that they Will not
fight the battles of Abotionists. s
In the East, Gen. IoliicoffeF steadily advances
North capturing position after position dispensing
| Lincoln camps, selling those thousands Of guns
which Lincoln has been sending into Southern
Kentucky for the purpose Of arming East Tennes-
seeans against their Government, and as much by
his winning address as his prowess bringing the
population over to the Southern standard. Lex
ington is the point at which he is aiming and viii
| soon reach, there being nothing in his way but q
| few thousand Home Guards, the remnant of Camp
piek Robinson, and we have seen howthese guards
| fight their Southern brethren in arms.
! Once in possession of that important strategic
point, Northern Kentucky, the ma agnifeent bluee
grass region, will be under our control, the rail.
| roads to Louisville and Cincinnati will be com
| manded by our forces, and both Of those cities
\ ybe attacked. - sGsgftaS&s 5ss5f.atR q :.
| We are assured by gentlemen just from that rich
i and important section of the State, that at least
three fourths of its citizens are ready to join the
| Confederate army az soon as IL appears. Twenty
Thousand Of the best fighters in the State will rally
to the Southern standard for the defence of their
homes and the deliveranee of Kentucky from her
| Hessian invaders, who are hated by every loyal
andtrne Rentuekian with holy and mortal hatred.
1t is also announced by the Federals with evident
alarm, that large forces have been sent to ZoIli-
Golfer from the Potomac to strengthen the move
ment against Cincinnati. OF this we know nothing,
+ and give no credit to the report. ~
/ We believe that without this aid Gen. zolIcoF-
fer can take Lexington. Once there, the three
armies can cooperate in series of movements,
which will rid Kentucky of the foe, and result per-
haps in the capture of both Louisville and Ginein
