Rebel Plans for AentUeSy,
A correspondent of The Cincinnati Ga
zette writes as follows from Lexington,
Ky, in regard to the anticipated inva-
sion of that State;
The rebel plans derived from good in
formation from Southern sources, are
much more extensive than generally be-
lieved by military men. In brief, they
are said to be as follows: Small raids
are organized TO pierce Kentucky at sew
eral points, threaten Lexington, divide
our forces in such manner as will enable
them to flank Rosecraus, cut off his sup
plies, demolish him, and take possession
of Tennessee and Kentucky. John S.
Williams is to go down Sandy to Cattles-
burg, thence, by State road, 20 Maysville,
or towns on the Ohio; Clulie and Stoner
remain at or about Ow ingsyille until join
ed by Marshall from Pound Gap; Chenault
and Grigsby will enter through Cumber-
land Gap 20 Richmond; Will Breckin-
ridge, Col. Scott and Pegram via Somer-
set. All threatening Lexington. Van
Dorm and Forrest are TO guard the Cum
berland, crossing below Nashville, The
task of coming in at Russelville and
destroying the Nashville and louisville
Railroad Is allotted TO John Morgan.
Joe Johnston at the proper moment
is to draw out Rosecrans, demolish him,
and after that have everything their own
way. They would take Lexington no
doubt, if offered 60 them, but their policy
only extends TO threatening il and get as
many of our force away from the scene
of real danger as possible. And this, if
true, is shrewd and plausible, and is in
some degree nErmed by collateral in
formation from rebel sympathizers in
Kentucky, and what we already know of
their plans as executed
The sources from whom obtain this
programme appear exceedingly we'll in
formed. In fact it was from them first
learned of The appointment of Burnside
TO this department. They knew accu-
rately the locale, construction and de-
lenses Of every stooksde on the railroads
They knew also the number of men and
names Of regiments, where located and
by whom commanded, aud until Ken
lucky is thoroughly cleared of peace
Democrats, Southern rights people, and
open rebels, it will be so, and all military
efforts will be crippled il not defeated
hereafter as heretofore. Every thing is
hoped for in Burnside at present.

was very severe and serious to the Con-

moth weekly was swept of yesterday
morning, by the popular demand, like
the leaves Of a sugar camp by high
wind, after aseyere FROST just one week
ago we issued the nrst number with a
basis of some fjty subscribers, and yes
terday morning an edition Of ovr tho
a3psahd was entirely exhausted by nine
o'clock. There were q great many calls
for IL during the day. There is some
ching IN this success far more gratifying
to us than its mere personal bearing
That is a minor consideration which we
would certainly mot parade before the
public in ordinary circumstances What
we especially rejoice at is that we now
live in free country, and That free peo-
pie are determined to defend plain
thought and free speech, Men arc shak-
iRg oGfcom their long crsmped limbs The
oistterd of bigotry, prejudice. and intoler-
'Rhcs. The day for free discussion has
, dawned, and we exult, and not only our
selves, but an overwhelming majority Of
D the people Of Tennessee Friends Of
freedom and human progress, if you be-
L
lievs that the principles advocated by the
Nashville UNIoS will conduce TO the
welfare of Tennessee, we ask you for
your own sakes, and the sake of your
country, to promote its circulation as
rapidly as possible. Let the Nashville
UNION go, wherever the flag of the Ma
tional Union floats over free people.

Niseteen copporheads OF the X. G. G.
order, were arrested at miserable little
village in the bacIwoods of Ohio, called
HaskinsyiIle. They were brought TO
Cincinnati. The Commercial says:
"Those Of our citizens who have seen
;ho Virginia and Kentucky bushwhack-
ing cut-throats who have from time TO
time passed through here, can form a
very good idea of the features, form,
dress, manner and conversation Of these
people, who, living in section OF the
State far removed, apparently, from civil
lizatioD, have been influenced, in their
ignorance, by the vituperative arguments
of such papers as the Cincinnati En-
quirer, to lift their arm against our
Government"
If these poor deluded people were
brought from their quiet homes in Ohio,
andcarred into those regions Of Virginia,
Tennessee, Missouri, and South Carolina,
which have been blighted by civil war,
they would never make another effort to
reduce prosperous and happy Ohio to the
same condition, unless indeed they are
desperadOes who thrive in scenes of
misery. Ne
One look at the theatre of civil war
would be enough to take away their sp-
petite for rebellion. lt.

The rebel Congress have put the last
turn 10 the screw bypassing the impress
ment law, which permits the seizure by
the authorities Of all kinds Of produce,
to be paid at the Governments own APP
praisal in worthless scrip.
Now, why should any secessionist in
Nashville object to going, incontinently,
to lake up bis abode in land where
"Southern rights" arc so scrupulously
respected Gentlemen, pray stand not
upon The order Of your going, but go at
once, and we may then believe you to be
sincere.

As they neared the spot, the vlcro.
