A person arrived here this morning who
reports that on Wednesday nlght Gen, Prizes

Other accoun's say Price left Warrensburg

Price is reported to have sent word that he
would give him until Monday at o'clock TO

Quite panic prevailed at Georgetown on
the receipt Of the reports from Lexington,
and many families fed, fearing an attack
from the rebels, All is quiet here, and no

Intelligence from the West received here
to day contradicts the report that Parsons
had arrived at Georgetown with 1000 rebel
troops.
Reliable news from Lexington up TO Sat

been no fight there up to tha: time, though

Kentucky.


The willy leaders of the rebels have no idea
of desolsting their own homes in the sunny
South 50 long as they can keep the fighting
campaign in the border States. To save
their plantations and their homes, they forced
Virginia into the Confederacy against the
viii of her people, and having done this,
they carried the war within her borders, and
have sought to keep it there. The Old Do
minion has been made the stamping ground
for both armies; the unfortunate territory
forever in dispute ana compelled to tear the
desolation and destruction which that dispute
carries with it. Her fields are laid waste and
her country impoverished to feed the rebel
horde, while the leaders of the rebellion CON
grasulate themselves that their own States
have escaped this devastation. But the late
capture Of the Hatteras forts has placed ere
in the rear of the army Of the Potomac, and
given the rebel generals and administration
new ideas regarding the safety Of their home
property. Something must be done, and that

the invasion Of Kentucky, upon the plea
that the safety of Tennessee requires it. The
rebels therefore rush into the western extreme

Of Paducah by Gen. Grant. To the demand
blythe Kentucky Legislature for the removal

Tennessee troops have entered Kentucky at

Kentucky was respected until It had

rebels this proposition has 8 cool au-

very well that while they are menacing our
