TAX RzOvEmENTs I'm KENTUCKY.
We are in recaipt of the Memphis Baitstia Of
Sunday morning, the Argns Of Sunday evening,
and the Cincinnati Commercial Of the 4th inst,
the morning of the day on which it is reported
the battle occurred near CovingtOn.
The BuLatis contains no information of the
movement against Cincinnati. It places Gene
raj SMITHS forces at Lexington, Versailles and
Georgetown This gives them a triangular at
ttude, threatening Frankfort on one side and
Paris on the other, and also a good position for
an advance on either Cincinnati or Louisville
The Commercial has the same statement, and
adds g The rascals are losing time, and that
is the one thing needful on our side" Ii turns
ont. however, that they did not lose much time
A Reconnaissance, by railroad, on the Sd, demon
ststed that the Confederates had been operating
/ above Paris twelve miles, where they had de-
stpoyed a bridge. One account states thst the
main body Of our army had then advanced to a
nearer position toward Covington, and not being
discovered by the accommodating party, they Al
lowed the train to return undisturbedin order to
allay q suspicion Of immediate danger. This
is very probable.
The Argus contains nothing additional to
what we published yesterday evening, except
an editorial expression Of its confidence in the
| correctness Of the report that Cincinnati had
| fallen. The news was received at Memphis late
Saturday evening, when it was generally
credited.

Throw himself, with a comparatively small force,
IN the rear Of Pope, he executed one of those
bold inspirations of genius whose very aUdaeitY
almost iusures success. POpe's retreat had been
a feat Of such astonishing rapidity that he may
almost be excused for not cOnceiving it to be
possible for Jackson to thus overtake and fax
him. At the same time, Jackson's daring sub
iected him to a terrible risk, but promised bril-
liant rewards. The risk, thanks to his prompt
reinforcement by Lee and LongstTeet, he has
survived, and the rewards he has realized IN the
capture Of immense stores, giving the rebels q
welcome supply Of ordnance stores aud ammu-
milton, as well as Of provisions, OF which, IN
consequence Of their rapid march, they were
destitute.
Both armies have now been rsinfoTcsd-Jack-
son By a force estimated at forty to sixty thous-
/ aud; Pope by divisions from the corps Of Nc
Clelisn and Burnside. The enemy made an
overpowering attack on McDoweUs corps, when
IongstTeet came up and drove it off with great
loss Of men and ordnance. The fighting of our
men was superb. Since that reinforcement we
have been on the defensive, and are now back

The retreat has been made with entire steadi-
ness, aud the men exhibit the utmost GOODNESS

The s-ituatioa.

From the Chicago Timer, September T.
The excitement in this city yesterday over the
intelligence received during The day from the seat
Of war in Virginia was intense, and doubtless
every city and town in the country, where the
intelligence had reached, was similarly con-
yulsed,
We scarcely know whether the additional in
telHgence which we have this morning is an I'M
proyement upon that Of yesterday There seems
to be no room to doubt that ia the severe engage
ment on Monday, fourteen miles from Wishing
ton. our troops were decidedly victorious, which
enabled them TO fall back to Washington with
cut molestation, where, we take It, tae whole
army has arrived We DO not anticipate an al
tack upon Washington. The rebels viii not
spend their strength there.
But We have apprehensious that the report that
StoDewal Jackson with a large force is making
for Baltimore, BY way Of LeesbuTg, may be
true. We know Of no formidable Instructions
in his way, unless the government can interpose
a sufficient forcs to turn him back, which it
-oughttc be able TO do. A great many Of the people
of Maryland are sympathizers with tho REBEL
ion, and would hail with Joy tie approach OF a
rebel army, ard it has been whispered that they
are prepared with arms for a general uprising in
the event Of such approach. However this may
be, q rebel occupation OF Baltimore would be
most ealamitous, and must be opposed by al the
power the government can possibly exert.
The general gloom is lighted up immensely
by one occurrence. general Mcclellan seems
to have been appointed to the command of all
cur forces in Virginia. If this shall prove to be
true, the weight of a mountain viii De lifted

" degraded in The recent disposition Of the
troops, the government has suddenly discovered,
at the NEST critical ~juHcture in which it has yet
found itself, how Indispensable he is to its saliva
ton, and how unreliable Is at lesst one Of the
supports upon which it has just been leaning.
The news from Kentucky and West Tennes-
see is about as bad as it could well be. 1t seems
to Us that the report in our special dispatch rom
indianapolis, that it had been determined to
evacuats Louisville, needs confirmation. But
that both that city and Cincinnati are seriously
mepaced admits of no doubt, and 1t may indeed
turn out that we shall be compelled to mske the
Ohio river the hue Of our defense, until we can
make the new ievies Of troops available for the
renewal Of aggressive warfare.

A friend In Somerylle, Tennessee, from data
furnished, estimates the lose Of the citizens OF
Fayette county, Tennesses, from the robberes
and spoilasion Of The Yankees 70 be ten nil

July. That immsnse loss may be multiplied
BY the losses sustained in the other counties,
and 3 low estimats would reach one hundred
millions. All this tremendous loss has resulted
from tie amazing hardness Of our army. All
that property would have been saved to the cid-
gems and to the country, Iths troops had been
moved forward instead Of being sqsattea out Of

I From the Is Crosse OyHconsi1l Democrat
The excitement IN Northern Minnesota over
the horrible Indian atrocities is becoming more
intense each hour. At least one thousand

Indians are noted for their blood-thirsty disposi
ton, and have gathered on the yellow Medicine

trouble is indeed most serious.
The blame of this rests on the government
or its agents, who, on q salary Of $1,000 3 year,
in four years manage to sars from fifty to one
hundred thousad dollars In some instances
