The situation in Kentucky.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, August 6.--Mr. Casey,
the Kentucky Congressman who voted for
confscation, is here to-day, renewing
the representations TO the Administra-
ton concering the state of affairs in Ken
tycky He says that the Union men are
perfectly assured Of the rebel intention
to make another foray, on a more extern
siyo scale, into the State if possible --
Twelve hundred rebel cavalry are now
in this county. They declare now just
as they did this time last year, that they
must have the products of the country
between the Green and Cumberland rly-
ers for the support Of their army, and 1t
is believed they are maturing plans to
carry out their threat, relying ON the
same supineness of the National forces
that was exhibited last year. Mr. Casey
and other Kentuckians are asking that
as fast as troops are raised in volunteer
regiments, and under the new draft, they
shall be pushed down into Kentucky,
drilled there, and suhsisted off the pro-
perty Of Kentucky rebels, They argue
that this will be suthcien; 20 avert all
danger in Kentucky and at the same time
make the rebellion In Kentucky unproh-
table They ask, also, that all ablebodi-
ed negroes belonging TO rebels should be
seized at once and used for camp service,
as toamsters, etc, but not armed,

GENERAL ORDERS, No. 81.
Tho Major General commanding has TO
announce other instances Of disgraceful
neglect, and contrast them with another
Of gallantry.
The guard at CORTLAND Bridge con-
sisting of companies A and Il, 10th Ken
lucky, under the command Of Captain
Davidson, and a part Of Capt. Eggleston's
company, 1st Ohio Cavalry, was com
pletely surprised and captured, with but
trining loss, on the morning of the 25th
ult by a force Of irregular cavalry.
On the same day the companies of Cap
tains Boyle and Cohen, 10th Indiana,
wbichwere ordered to protect two bridges
on the same road, respectively aud II
miles east Of CORTLAND, deemed il wiser
to bring in an empty train which came
up, than to defend their posts, threatened
with an attack from the same irregular
cavalry, and so put themselves on the
train and arrived safely at Decatur, few
miles distant, without the loss or injury
Of man.
On the srme day and on the same road,
8 miles from Decatur, a guard consisting
of "a men of company Il, 31st Ohio, I'M
der command Of Lieut. Hartman, were
suddenly attacked by greatly superior
force of the same Cavalry. They de-
Tended themselves CALAMITY, and repuls-
ed the enemy, killing several of the mum
Der. Lieut.. Hartman end IL of his men
were wounded, himself in two places, and
two Of his men were killed.
The General submits these examples tc
the reilecation of the troops. He re.
minds them that neglect and bad con.
duct on the part of guards bring dishon-
or upon them, and may even jeopardisC
the safety of an army. If these appeals
to their personal and professional pride
should fail of their object he warns then
that the extreme penalty of the law mus
intervene TO punish tho guilty, and save
the Arms from the jeopardy in which
they place it.
The duty of guarding the communica'
lions of the Aarmy is among the mos
important with which an officer and hi
troops can be intrusted Vigilance, de,
terminatian and the preparation of suit
able defences, in the way of entrench
ments or stoccades, will prevent such at
tacks, or enable a small force to repel
greatly superior one. Had the orders 70
Bridge guards 10 fortify their posts beer
promptly executed and proper vigilsnc
been observed, the attacks referred to, i
made at all, would have had very differ
ent results.
This order and General ORDER No. 81
will be read at the head of every com
pany and detachment
By command Of Major Gen. BUELL..
