ures will be resorted TO by the rebels. The In
vasion of the State was not accidental, but
thoroughly preconcerted measure, undoubtedly
in the belief that Il could be made entirely
successful. The Importance Of Kentucky to
both parties cannot Re over-estimated. If the
rebels can hold il, they can winter their armies
there. II We can drive them from It, We can
force them TO disband. Both parties understand

GEN. McCLRLLAN GETS A NEW RIa.-Much
foolish gossip has been created by the fact that
Gen. Mcclellan has ordered snowy uniforms for
himself and Staff Heretofore he has been dis.
tinguished BY the plainness of his attire, but as
he is soon to take the field, it is desirable that

Run ON TIE UNION BANx.-There was quite
a run on the Union Bank of this city to-day,
aud the, bank redeemed its notes and the notes
of its branches at seven per cent. discount in
coin. The run continued with little abatement
until the close Of the banking hours. Crowds
Of people were choked off by the inevitable

have on the money market, is hard to tell but
one thing is certain, if the Union Bank can stand
up to the pressure and redeem all its circulation
at seven per cent, it will make nice thing of
it. And if that would end the concern, it would
be cheap radiance.
LArER-Toward the close of the run the
bank would pay but ninety cents on the dollar,
and the people seemed to be satisfied to get that.
