NORTH FORK KY, July 10, 1862.
Northern Kentucky is now under high state Of
excitement. The guerrillas without number, and IN
places inuumerable have maze their appearance,
committing depredatons, stealing horses and money
aud terrifying tie loyal people OFT Of their peace
and happiness. They are under the command OF
Morgan. the noted Guerrilla Chief although they
are divided into nrmeroussquads, all finely mounted
and armed for their hesh work Of death. They
have been lowering about Frankfort and Lexington
for number Of days, having taken Georgetown,
Midway, and other places of less note. A day or
two ago they appeared before Paris the county
seat OF Bourbon County, and twice made formal
demand Tor a surrender Of the place, which was az
often s,ernly refused by the citizens, aided by the
Home Guards of Maysvile, who went to their re
lief, led by our Congressman, the Hon. Win. IL
Wadsworth. After that they made an attack by
night, but were resolutely repulsed. Since ther
they are reported to have been at Claysyle on the
Lexington and Covington Railroad, apparently max
ing their way, via Falmouth, toward Cincinnati.
The people of Maysyille and Mason Counties are
greatly excited and are volunteering in large mum.

but rather believe they would rerder the guerilas
all the aid and assistance they could, IN case tbey
should succeed in penetrating to tbs county.

STONED for some time on Big Sandy, watching the
movements of Humphrey Marshall, passed down the
Ohio past Maysville, on yesterday, destined IL is

Northern Kentucky at present; 1t Is expected that
they will be ordered to proceed up the Lexington
Railroad, from Cincinnati.
The weather is quite warm and dry. The corn
and other crops in many localities are suffering from
the lack Of rain.
The wheat crop, now all harvested, is being
threshed and delivered III the markets. The crop Is

The passage or the Coufs,ation bill, with its ap-

the people, depending upon the intensity OF their
Union sentiment. Eentuckians generally disap-
prove OF go sweeping a measure, do It's tendency
will be TO undermine the institution OF Slavery, but,
for the sake Of the Union, most of the loyal men
will submit to it, as u step lcgitimaely resulting

shareholders cay that order to oruh the rebellion
and save the Republic, they would cheerinlly give
up their slaves The patriotism OF such men Is
pure, and the tender Of compensation to loyal men
only tends to bring it out in holder relief. VIZ.
