The kpDlutky Invasion.

make Kentucky suffer Tor her at
tempted position of nectraiity.-
On three occasions considerable
part of the State has been overrup
first by Buckner, then by John
Morgan, and lastly by Bragg ano
Kirby Smith, each time carrying
off immense supplies. A. Louis
vile correspondent of'the Cincin.
matt Gazette sums up the assault
! as follows:
/ Armies that in all hardly num-
bered sixty-fve thousand haveheld
nearly, if not quite, double their
number in check for a month";
have thrown the whole West into a
spasm of alarm; have led Ken
tuckians to doubt the. strength Of
the hold the National Govern
ment has on them, and the people
of the Northern border to question
their own safety from Rebel inva-
sion, and have made good their es-
cape from punishment.
The result of this last invasion
may be briefly summed up. The
Rebels got some recruits, but not
so many as they expected or as we
have believed. Probably three
thousand men Will more than COW
er the entire accession to their
strength in this respect. They
secured immense quantities OF sup
plies-pork, beef, corn, flour, and
forage-nearly all Of which they
seem likely to get safely out OF the
State. They remounted their
whole cavalry force, and stripped
the State of It's most valuable stock
They convinced too many kentuck-
ians that, if not safer to be rebel
than loyal, it was at least far more
prudent for them tozealously main
tain the milk and water status
not very rebellious and not oppres-
sively loyal; not boiind to render
either side much assistance, and
not specially odious to either on ac-
count of jealous adherence to the
other.
On the other hand, we haven't
much of showing. We drove
them out, but we went at it very
clumsily, and expended an enor-
nous amount of strength In accom-
plishing it. We lost our Alabama
and Mississippians, and were rath-
er unduly thankful that we came
off o we'll as not to lose any more.
