TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 15, 1854.
T'hs Rebel RAID IN Kentuely--LouiavlIle
and Cincinnati Alarmed.
: The telegraph has given notice Of the
rald Of Morgan in Kentucky, by which
louisville and Cinoinnati are alarmed for
their safety. So that after all the cam
paign in Kentucky, and after the immense
srnies that have marched through her ter
fitory, the rebels are still bold and reliant. |
This comes Of the ooneiliatory, halfway |
policy that has been pursued toward them. |
Our troops have been compelled to fight and
march leaving bitter, vindictye, active
rebels in their rear, with no severer penal
ties inflicted upon them than swearing
them and letting them gOp Ifwehad con-
hsoated every dollars worth Of property Of
every rebel, set every one Of his slaves free,
ana set him 70 work with shovel and spade
upon our fortifeatioRs as we went along,
there wouldn't be much induoement for
Morgan or any other man to make raid
through there at the present time. As it
is, we must 60 over the ground once more,
and doubtless in less than week there
win be half dozen more valuable bridges
