The most inteIhgible account Of matters in
Kentucky is CONTAINED in the special dispatches
to the Cincinnati Gazrtte, which we append;

( night, without light

! LOUISVILLE, October 3-hIidnighl.-Little
or nothing was known here of the battle Of Per
ryviue till the aTTivsl of the Gazette at noOR to-
| day, with your special correspondents account,
| Which hss since monopolizsd public stteRtion,
and been the tAeme Of general comment Scs1ce-
| y anything can yet be added to the particulars
! in that account Stories Of subsequent fighting
have been chiefly the products OF frightened
imaginations.
II there was any action at eli on Saturday, it
was simply skirmish with the rear guard, and
not a general engagement, as was believed here
! last evening. Il is still moEo probable that the
firing, ont of which all of the reports Of battle
grew, arose simply from shelliGg the woods as
! our column advanced, to prevent the possibility
of ambush by the T5bei5. Meantime tie rebels
have not only retired from Peuyviile but also
from Dau7iIs aud Hauo3sbuTg, Of which places
we sro once more in possession.
The whole rebel sTniT is understood to be now
concentrated. al Camp Dick Robinson, ten miles
east Of Danyie, where it is now believed they
win make q final stand, if they do anywhere in
the State. The position there gives thm good
opportunities for retreat to'Tsrd seme of the gaps
in East Tennessee, while j. also affords good
line OF defense along The precpis0us banks of a
e4r he
region of Dauville or HauOdsbuT2. Thsy can
thus fight rs they wish on grousd of their owp
selection and with their whole force or if deemed
desirable, can still pEopsblY make goed their
retreat. The larger portion of tbs blue gTas,
country is already practically redeemed from the
rebels.
Communication from here to Frankfort is now
uninterrupted ss well IS from Ersnklort to Lex
ington, and thence back to Covington The
telegraph is already working to Frankf fort, Lou
svi le and HarTodsbuTE direct, aAd will be in e
day Or tgyo to LexinFton, and thence direct to
Cincinnati. The railroad is working to within
three miles of Frankfort
a few struggling parties of guerTillas mostly
HEds 40 of native rsbsls, may yet iafe5t tais
portion Of she State, but practically it is cleared
Union citizens are beginning to return to Frank
fort and the surrounding region. There Is gem
eral coIfdsncs tnat any successful contest with
will practically end the yiHyssion cf Kentucky.
