papers Of yesterday:
Frcm the Democrat
The latest news we have from above
was brought by the train from Lexing-
ton last evening. 1t appears that the
rebel infantry, under j. 9 Bpckinridge
and the cavalry, under Chenault-in all
supposed TO be from 1900 TO $1,000
men-crossed the Cumberland river on
Sunday morning at Stagalps Ferry, and
passed through Jim'ow Somerset and
Stanford, reaching Danyille on Friday
afternoon. Col. Woliord has bad several
skirmishes with them. A citizen of
Danyille spent night before last in Law
renceburg, and from that point an inn
mense light was seen in the direction OF
Danville, giving rise TO the impression
that the rebels had Sc, the place on fire.
General Carriers forces, consisting of Eve
regiments of infantry and two batteries,
burned the bridge over Dix river, and
were yesterday encamped in the vicinity
of Camp Dick Robinson.
There was DO unusual excitement in
Lexington yesterday at two O'Clock.
General Burnside was expected TO arrive
there FROM Cincinnati At Frankfort
there was some uneasiness felt among
the citizens though very few, it any
have left the place.
Quite large number Of refugees from
the town ofDanvillc and Boyle and Mer-
Ger counties, arrived in the city, yester-
day afternoon and last night, by railroad
and other means of conveyance. They
report that the rebels are cOnscripting
everybody that comes within their reach,
taking horses and other property as they

There is no doubt that the eastern
norton of Kentucky has been occupied
by rebel troops. The accommodation
train on the Louisyille and Frankfort
Railroad, which left Frankfort at 10
O'clock yesterday morning, brought q
number Of refugees from the interior of
the State, all of whom have their pecu-
liar versions ofthe rebel raid.
We have a pretty well authenticated
report that Danville has been occupied
by the enemy, and that rebel force of
seven thousand was advancing upon
Frankfort yesterday, having arrived at
Lawrenceburg, distance Of twenty
three miles from the State capital.
It is also stated there was skirmishing
yesterday in the viciniiyof Camp Dick
Robinson, in which the enemy was worst
ed, but, owing 10 the superiority Of the
rebel force, the Federal troops were forced
10 fall back in the direction of Lexington.
There was great excitement yesterday
morning az Lexington and Frankfort, the
loyal residents OF those cities fearing an
immediate advance on the part OF the
rebels, and we are aware that the funds
Of the banks in each of those places were
removed.
1t would not be proper for us 10 state
the reasons which back our belief, but
we are clearly of the opinion that the
rebel force which is at present in Ken
lucky will not only not make an advance
upon louisville but they will not even
make serious demonstration in this d.
rectidn. Without the rebel force is more
/ formidable than we have renson 10 be.
lieve Ii TO be, such 4 movement would be
fatal to The entire command.
Z There is said to be force OF two or
three Thousand rebels 10 the vicinity Of
Glasgow, and it Is said that they medi-
tate raid upon the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad but we do not fear such
result, as the preparations for the do
fence Of the, road 10 the future have been
Of such scharaciet As to secure Il against
rebel incursions. .'
Our readels may rect assured that all
will be willbs well in Kentucky, and
that Nc danger is at all like to prove for
midable, il view Of the precautions
which have been takeDyJ 4os1s4
