Special to the Appesll
sENAToBIA, September f0.-The Cincinnati
Commercial Of the 9Th has been received, which
contains the following article contradictory OF
the report that General Smith was in front OF
that city
The excitement among the people ct the coun-
try north of Cincinnati, who are most m
" connected With Us by social and business
ties. at the news that this city was menaced BY
the enemy, has far surpassed anything that we
have witnessed here. The most extrayagant re-
ports have been circulated and widely credited
1t has been believed in some quarters that the
rebels have crossed the Ohio st various points IN
great force. The church bells have rung alarms.
Companies without number have organized.
Rifles have been collected and ammunition
prepared. The farmers have mounted their
horses and turned out with Their wagons, taking
with them provisions, Siankats and h~orse-feed d.
and started for the city in immense professions.
The railroads have been asked to bring in the
companies t~hronging all the stations. The idea
of danger of invasion has electrified the whole
community. The clangor CT angry partisan dis
~putation has been silenoed. Those who have
been reprOachiDg each other as Rbolitionists, and
secession sympathizers, have forgotten their
controversy and have taken down their rifles.
AS to the extent of the danger the prociama-
ton of which has called psrisans, merchants
and farmers, from town and country, 10 present
themselves here in arms, there IS unquestiona-
bly, real danger. The force Of the enemy that
has invaded Kentucky is formidable. It consists
Of pretty well disciplined and very well armed
troops. They have efficient cgvalry and artlle-
". They are animated by success, and thirst
ing intensely to carry the war into the North
They are ably led, and are recruiting rapidly IN
Kentucky. They Announce tbs purpose Of re-
naming in kentucky at all hazards, aud their
great ambition is to take and destroy Cincinnati.
The alarm which has p~ervaded the country is
n-ottalse, it is true and significant. Movements
of the enemy are definitely asesT tanned to be IN
this direction, it would seem a rash enterprise in
them to attack Cincinnati. but they are enter
prising to audacity. We must be prepared for
them.
The rebels are reported, with artillery, within
forty miles Of Cincinnati A dispatch from Fal-
mouth; KY, dated a: / o'clock, this moraing,
reports the rebels within tour miles Of that place,
with artillery. Falmouth is forty miles from
Cincinnati, on the Covington and Lexington
railroad. Il is situated at the fork Of the Lick
ing river, and is the county seat Of Pendleton
county, which borders On Kentou and Campbell
couuties-tbose immediately south Of US.
This must be taken as an indication that tie
appetite of the rebels for Cincinnati IS 50 great
that they are determined to try the experiment
Of paying Us a visit.
