I The movement of the South
ern army IN Kentucky against tn
Ohio border has created almost a
great a panic in the West as ith'
advance Of the same forces int
Maryland has created in the North
The accounts show the same eE
citement and panic IN one quarter
as in the utEer. The Cincinnati
correspondent Of the New York
! Herald, writing of the situation
and movements of the army in
Kentucky, says:
The excitement IN Cincinnati
is again at fever heat and nothing
is heard but the sound OF the drum
and the heavy tread OF tie armed
columns proceeding to the 'front.'
All business is again suspended,
with the exception Of such as is
necessary, and the whole attention
OF the populace is giving to drill
ling aud work in the tlenches.s
The enemy are, beyond all
doubt, advancing, and in force,
and there is not much space be-
tween cur pickets and theirs. So
close are they that we may look
tor a collision 1T any moment
The city bells this morning at
three o'clock gave notice for the
reserved force TO assemble, and it
was but five min utes after that
the sharp rattle Of the tenor drum
gave us notice that detachments
were on their way to headquarters.
Yesterday a scouting party discov-
cred the rebel advance guard but
a few miles from our outposts.-
Two brigades, at least, were repor-
ted, and how many more were N
the rear could only be supposed.
| am listening every moment fur
the sound Of musketry and artii-
.ery, and should not be surprised
if before this letter is closed the
work of death and destruction is
going on.
The crowd at the Office of the
provost marshal this morning was
large, consisting principally of
strangers in the city, who were de-
sirous of getting out OF It, While
the crowd was greatest a regiment
Of citizens was drawn up il front,
facing the opposite buildings, and
the men in the ranks were not at
ltpleased to see so many men anX-
ious for passes to leave the city,
and amused themselves by ad-
dressing those desirous Of leaving
in no very complimentary remarks.
Tie ''skedads," however, did
not resent them, being, apparently,
too happy at procuring the much
coveted piece Of paper. Citizens
Of Cincinnati are not to-day al
lowed to leave the city, and very
for those not in arms are
wanted here to afford protection,
should it become necessary, to the
families of those WHO are in the
army, and who are now compare
lively alone, and to look out for
the comfortof any who many be un-
fortunate enough to be wounded
From gentlemen direct from
Lexington and Paris / derive some
interesting information relative to
The reception the rebels met with
on their arrival at those Cities
At Lexington the popnlace were
enthusiastic on their arrival. The
ladies' were at the windows, clap
ping their hands and showering
lowers on the column as it passed
through the streets. One immense
boquet was carried eff by an off,
GER at the head of column, which !,
aad been bestowed upon him BY
some fair rebel, and the menon all /
sides were cheering most vehe-I
nently.s At Paris it was about
he same thing, and men who but
i few days since were protesting
he mcst entire loyalty to the I'm
on seemed to vie with each other,
o give the rebels the most hearty
welcome. 1t is said, and | believe
ruly. that the rebels have in Lex
ngton alone recruited two full /
'egiments, and a third is nearly
ull. This is only in one lace,
md there isno, doubt of their being
.hle to dc as well in almost acery i
