We learn from the Cincinnati Gasen
of Monday last, that the citizens of tn
Queen City of the West, passed day o
mingled hope and anxiety on Sunday. -
The order Of the Commanding Genera
authorising the resumption of business
on Monday morning had pleasing eff
feet, and many fondly hoped that the dan
ger was passed. A train arrived at Gov
ington frcm Falmouth about 3 o'clock il
the afternoon, Sunday bringing the I5tl
and 9oth regiments from that place. The
officers of the I5th report that the pick
cts OF the enemy were in sight of theii
Camp the night before. All agree in
saying that their destination is for Gin
cinnati.
Several regiments and batteries Of ar
tillery were constantly arriving in that
city, and passing through the streets on
their way to the Notifications back Of
Newport. Many of the men had march
ed through the heat Of the day from Camp
King, aud were greatly exhausted.
All the city military companies were
kept under arms on Sunday night, and
the greatest activity prevailed in militia
ry circles. No idea Gun be formed of the
force of the enemy, but il is undoubtedly
considerable, as it is reported that III, de.
tachments that were sent to menace
Louisville have been recalled t. Join the
main body for an attack on Cincinnati.
Since the above was put in type, the
Gasete of the 9th states that a gentle,
man who reached that city ON Monday
afternoon, reported to General Wallace
that the rebel citizens quot soldiers, hav,
taken possession of Dcmossvillo, a smol
town in Pondleton county, on the Ken
lucky Central Railroad, twenty five miles
from Coyington, and seized evcythin,
they wanted. All Union men are bcin!
rapidly disarmed, and many OF them sen
in the direction of Lexington, as prisoners
Tho greatest outrages were being commit
ted throughout the county by the rebels
and the Union people were fleeing in ey
cry direction to escape the fury of ,hei
enemies. These proceedings are of cours
caused by the near approach Of Kirb
Smiths army.
