We CLEAN some particulars as to Nor
gan's third raid into Kentucky from the
Cincinnati papers It does not seem tc
have been very formidable affair. The
sole.Object Of the rOugh-rider-WhO has
only one or two Thousand men with him
and not all Of ihem mOunted-is to steal
some horses, and then dividing his force
into a dozen different bands, escape as
best he may.
The Gazette Of Thursday says:
The first intimstion the people Of Gym
ihisns had Of 8 rebel force near them, was
at or o'clock yesterday morning, when
messengers came in from several points,
saying that there we're three hundred reb.
el soldiers at 0TiDgsVille, six hundred ct
Sterliog, and that there was q squad of
thirty at Tslbors Station, three miles north
Of Paris. As soon as the train from Gov
ington arrived, which was at 10 o'clock,
the conductor was warned Of danger in
proceeding further. Dstsohing the looo-
motive, he, with some others, started up
the road oa q sreconu uoissanee, preceded by
Q hBBd.esr. When they came within .
short distance Of Townsend bridge, seven
miles south Of Cynthisns, they saw the
smoke and flames ascending from the
burning Of that structure; which with the
tressel work is about 300 feet long
T5ey sent out man to discover what
he could in roferense 10 il, who met several
Union soldiers who had been guarding The
bridge. These soldiers stated that they
had been taken prisoners by q body Of
about 200 rebel troops, all mounted.
After psrolling them, the reb Is set Are TO
the bridge, and then started in the direc

man from the neighborho0d Of Paris, who
said there Wss 8 squad Of about thirty Feb-
el soldiers at Hibblef's, east Of Paris, TAX
ing his horses. Another gentleman, who
came in by way Of Ruddels Mills, said

Shortly after the train left, the lele.
graph operator dispatched to CoViDgton
that he could see the smoke arisiDg from
the burning Of the Kimbrough bridge, q
mile south Of Cynthians, and that be
could hear the shouts Of the approaching :
rebels. He had on q former occasion
been taken prisoner by the rebels, and he
now chose 10 deosmp In time, which be
did.
Subsequently q dispatch was r5eeivet
from Boyd's Station, the first this side o.
CynthiAns, stating that tho rebels had

We have received intelligence TO th
effect that Morgan's men occupied Psri
between four and five o'clock yesterds

l. We also Learn that detachment

IN scott county, yesterday. From present
20 pesrsnee il would seem that the Ret
force is scattered over some ten or tWel

I'D Railroad at Falmouth and Robinson

prehension is felt in this direction.
% There can not be more than 5000 reb

y small bands. II they attempt to pass
through the eastern part OF the State
force in their rear will care for them.
