To show the ea.erneSs of the demand for

Confederate pride and affection, to keep them
out Of the hands Of the enemy. We were

The kentucky Battles

1t seems that our patience ~ to bs tasked
and our suspense continued for another day,
in reference to the Kentucky engagements
The telegraph tells us that Cincinnati papers
Of the llth, admit a great victory Of our army
over Buell.; and the partial intelligence
through Confederate sources speaks very
glowin2ly of the result in the earlier days Of
the fight. But Northern papers OF the 18th are
silent, as to any information from Cincinnati,
and though very obscure in their statements
and manifestly il ignorance. yet they claim
victories.
4 very significant sign, however, and
one which is probably good as a con-
frssion of defeat, is the rapid rise in gold
on Monday and Tuesday last, particular
" the latter day. Wall Street had evidently
heard something, and it Was not of victory.
Thrae per cent. in the forenoon of one day
is q very strong intimation Of the tenor OF
the mornings news! That the papers are
silent proves nothing; for the press speaks
only by -suf.rancc in Lincoln's domin-
ions. With strong hope, therefore, as
we'll as with ANXIOUS interest, we are waiting
and listening ior the click of the telegraph
that shall bring ns certain tidinGs. If thay
come heture this GOES 10 press, they will be
found in the telpgr phic column.
