The busy season Of grinding cane viii, we sup
pose, commence next week, and from all appear
ances a large crop will be made. The cane il
very large, and only needs cool weather to ma,

The matter Of provisions is one Of considerable
interest to our citizens of Aiexandsia. Bacon,

Of those who were formerly on the list Of good
iivers, and beef to be had at the market has 80
shrunk VI, j, we look to the size Of roast or steak
d gristie and bone given out as an equivalent for
naTd cash, that we do not expect 10 see another
hFe bnli or beef roaming the plains for many a

r PoRKoBoLIs rs FRIGHTENED. - The Cincinnati
Times, Of late date, locates Gen, ZoIlieoffer in
Ke1sacky. /" with not Iess than 20,sao, to attack
the Federal troegs at Camp Diek Robinson, y and
in ita- issue Of the ID says .~z.,.
1t s not worth while to dsguise the fact that our
troops IN kentucky are In more danger than any
other detachment Of the Federal service, Gen.
Ioilcofer is advancing, and intends to commence
the attack !: our Kentucky sssdiars are threatened
by an Immediate assault, and an ASSAULT conducted
by largely superior numbers.
The e-scitement in the city last evening was yery
great consequent zpon the receipt of the news
from Gen. zollicoffeT. We had almost desparad
of seeing some of our prominent citizens worked
into Kentucky, instead of suffering the Gonfeder-
ates to bring it to the banks OF the Ohio. They
have come to the conclusion, however, that some
thing is really going OH, and no time is to be lost
The late movements of the rebels ON the Poto-
mac have been Of an inexphcable character, but
no doubt can be entertained in reference to the
rebel operations in Kentucky The line of railroad
through Eastern Tennessee is of the highest i'm
portance to the Southern ConfedeTaey. This line
is the very spinal marrow of BeaHregardss great
army in Virginia. All its life and resources flow
from the cotton States through this channel Our
advance into Kentucky rendered it necessary for
Beauregard and Davis to order the passage Of the
Cumberland Gap, and regular invasion of the
State. s8
Gen. Mitchell is exerting himself with commend
able ZEAL and before the week shall close he will
have q body OF men on the dark and bloody ground,
able to meet the approaching storm. a great
battle must occur and occur shortly. 2ollicofer
cannot afford to delay an hour. He knows the
Ohio and Indiana troops are iswaTming over the
river, and moving with the greatest rapidity toward
Southern Kent Ky to crush him before the arrival
We may, tt erefore, look for collision at any mo
msnt.
