In Lexington, Frankfort, and surrounding coun-
try it is reported the Rebels live up to the promises
Of their Generals that s they pay for the impressed
supplies in Confederate treasury notes. The mounted
marauders, however, that are now roaming in nu-
merous bodies over other parts Of Central Kentucky
neither pay nor promise to pay, and not only take
what they need, but good deal more-in other
words, steal and plumber Unfortunately.
It is stll certain that the main body Of Smiths
army continues to rest in the neghborhood OF Lex
ingion. Only small flying columns Of cavalry and
infantry have far appeared to the north and west
of that place upon foragDg, horsestealing, bridge
burning, &C., expeditions. From their movements,
the constant exayagant reports OF advances in force
now upon Cincinnati, then upon Louisville, arse
and fnd their way into the Western papers. Your
readers will do well to receive them with many
grains of allowance and rest assured that neither

OF the real intentions Of Kirby Smith, or the in
structions of biz superiors, nothing is, Of course,
known here. There are, however, two theories adj
vanced in explanation Of this passive attitude by
those having the best facilities for information, which
probably cover the case. One ia, that the Rebel Gen
relies on the numerical accessons TO his ranks from
tho dsloyal elements of the State TO enable him to
hold lis own, as well as to take the offensive a,
some future time. The other is, that be is waiting
for re-enforcements from Bragg's army.
Rumors Of the crossing Of the Cumberland by the
atters forces have been circulating here TO day in
yerifcstion Of the last opinion.
Whatever the programme of Kirby Smith and bis
co-operaiors may be- have the very beat reason to
hoIe and believe that will never be carried out.

II would We stretching the truth 70 claim that
those nirssed with the management Of the fortunes
OF Kentucky are exhibiting any more good judgment
and lromptuess, energy and intelligence Of action
in the present sis than during the rst invasion OF
the State under Morgan. Measures are suggetted,
plans proposed proclamatons and orders issued, but
they have mostly remained 90 far words-empty, in
effective words-and not become .olidiGed into tell
