The reporterzof roe Gazette, in this city,

TIyEs was written By. Col. j. V. Guthrie,
and handed to Geo. Wright, stating that
there was to be an uprising in Keptucky,
and that 50 lads aud Companies were Nov

not have officially announced the report to
be base fabrication. lie knows that a
copy of that letter. is in existence, if On Of
hclal denial is made TO the contrary.
Now, as the uprising in Kentucky, you

The Commercial has information from q
large landed proprietor in Georgia and
South Carolina, and once for fifteen years
Senator and member Of the lower house
OF the South Carolina Leg lAture, who left
Savannah. Ca, on the Goth Of last month,

! When he left Savannah, 26 600 troops
were collected there for its defence. TIE
city is very strongly fortified, aud Charles

impregnable to assault. They were con-

had 50 arranged communications that an
attack upon one or the other city will be
the eignal for concentrating all the force
employed along the coats. I'D.
TbrIConfsderates we're well supplied with
coarse aud substantial food, lacking the
delicalies and luxuries of life only. There
was no positive distress among the poor
people incidental to the privation. The
Confederates were much inspired by the
raid of the Charleston rams on the block

the West and lndianola, particularly, haG
restored confidence in their ability to cope

There was little coneeslment Of their in

menacing him in front, will flank him OF

II IS, however, the opinion Of the gentle
man making this statement that they wal
not invade the free States, as invasion
they argue, would consolidate the North.
During the past month they have bee
peculiarly successful in running in EuGlie
steamers with cargOes of arms and ammu

to give them at least an equality, If not
supremacy, on the rivers and SEQ. Th
