The Alarm I'm the West-Excitement
I'm Cincinnati.
The Baltimore Ncws Sheet, Of the 2lst,

says. tst.t
Morgah's exploits in Kentucky still continues
to create great excitement, not only through
outthat State, but also in Ohio and Indiana
At Louisville, Brigadier General Boyle, COM
manding the Federal Forces in Kentucky, is
sued, on the 18th inst, proclamation, calling
upon every able bodied man to take up arms,
and prohibiting every man who refused to do
so from leaving his house during the next for
ty-eight hours, under the penalty of being shot
down if he quilted it. This order was made
to apply not only to Louisville, but also to Lex
ington and its vicinity, and we presume was
promulgated at other places where Federal
troops were in sufficient strength to enforce it.
At Cincinnati, the Commercial of the city
warns the citizens that the call for men to turn
out in public defence was never more urgent
than now. The Gazette regards the danger
to Cincinnati itself as being most imminent.
The last mentioned journal tells its readers that
it would occasion no surprise "to hear at any
hour of Morgans Cavalry being the hills
opposite Cincinnati;" that the way is open
and they know it; that there are guns and for
tiications back of Covington but there are no
men, and that all the forces in Kentucky are
on the defensive, whilst two thousand men un-
der Morgan are doing pretty much as they
please. Since the capture of Cynthiana, in
Harrison county, Kentucky, the Con:ederates
have taken Henderson, also in the same State,
and crossing into Indiana, have occupied New
burg, where they made prisoners of two hun
and forty sick Federal soldiers, and seized two
hundred and fifty stand of arms. At the last
advices it was believed that they were receiving
constant acccssions to their forces and were
moving steadily northward. "Another days
hard riding in this direction" says the Cincin-
natl Commercial, "and they are at our very
DOORS" On Thursday evening last one hun
dred and forty Confederates were encanped
within eighteen miles of Covington opposite
Cincinnati.
CURE FOR DIARRHGA.-lt seems not to be
generally known that the free use of ripe peach
es is prompt and certain cure for diarrhea.
The writer has known cases of several months
standing which had resisted all ordinary rem
edies, yield in few days under unrestrained
use of this fruit. At this season, when the dis
case and the remedy are both so common,
the knowledge of this fact for the truth of
which the writer vouches, may save much suf'
fering. If hospital patients suffering from diar
rhea were treated freely with ripe peaches
instead of opium, the result would be greatly to
the advantage of all concerned. The remedy
is peculiarly valuable in the case of children.
Let those who are dosing their children with
drugs at this season try this pleasant remedy,
and they will need no other.-Rome (Ga.)

GEN. BEAUREGARD.-Asm many idle stories
have been going the round of the papers rela-
tive to Gen. Beauregard's whereabouts and
| the cause of his absence from the army, we
think it well to state that he is at present with
his family at Bladon Springs, South Alabama.
It will be recollected, says the Richmond Er-
aminer, that Gen. Beauregard took the field in
the Southwest when our fortunes in that quar-
ter were at their darkest period In the active
campaign which ensue9, and in the perfect
organization of the immense army at Corinth,
he performed labors which seriously affected
his health, and rendered period Of rest and
recuperation absolutely necessary. That he
