Paducah has become quiet. Most o.
the people have yetIEqtdi aud it Is u no
supposed that Forrest will make another
attack. The amount Of plumber he OBJ
tanned Is less than supposed. The gun
boat Peosta continually shelled the Rebel:
out otone SEreetjia another, Very te "
stores, comparatively, were robbed. All
of the Rebels, however got new suits ol
Pclothes. They took of all the stores and
medicines In the hospitals, except in one
where the surgeon told them they had the
small Pox DR.. Stearne, Ghltt OF Surgeons
had his Office burned and papers destroyed.
Since the battle, Faulkner has united
his forces with Forrest, aad both armies
have been, and At the same time are, .stop.

erinG all'the serviceaLle mules and horses,
as we'll ms the gools in the stores OF the
towns, they are having series of balls
aud troltcs in settlements, villages, and
towns. A gay set OF dashiug fellows are
these Confederate soldiers; they have "a
plenty OF ptesents to make to their wives
and sWeethearts, and they feel recon.
pensed for many tolls and their long Jour.

ing that the whole country is filled with
Rebels, aud that they talk as ii they meant
to stay.
To show, how disloyAI this part Of Ken

left at Paducah, being in care of our sur
geoas, received daily as many as hund-
red visitors from the people OF Paducah.-
Q. 7. Chase, agent of the Sanitary Com.
mission, who went up with stores for the
wounded, hearing this, orderedl that they
be cared'for BY their Rebel friends. -'s
On Saturday, during the battle, u q and

House, aud they were epioyiuE fiue time,
but Capt. Smith of the Peosts cred shell
through the dining room, which put an end
to the dinner. sF
These Thugs are going on within dis.
tauces OF from ten to thirty miles of Cairo,
and SO fearless have they become that sew
eral have crossed the river in skiffs, aud
have been iu town attending the thsater
and taking general survey of things.
Forrest has ordered his men to behave
well rs possible, and In particular moi to
Ere upon river steamers. This is supposed
to be for the purpose of quietiug our mill.
taFy, that they may remain possession of
Western Kentucky, II is very desirable
place for them to retain, particularly as
absence of trade restrictions have permitted
the country to be filled with all manner of
supplies. ----s.-- Z.

meut has not been idle, and large bodies of
troops are moving from two points fer the
purpose not only of clearing ther country,
but of capturing the whole force of the
Rebels. The Intention is TO do up the
business with Forrest and his sympathizers
this time, so that it will not have to be
done again.
More than this, large force, not less
than 10000 men, will be required to keep
back Morgan and other leaders, who are
getting ready to move through Kentucky,
and, If opportunity offers, 10 cross into
Illinois. Cairo will be the base of defense.
AT last We have an order suppressing
tue landing OF any Kind OF stores or sup
plies on the eastern shores of the Ohio and
Mississippi, between Paducah aud Mem
phis. Steamers must be under naval COM
mandersi all persous seen lurking about
Wharves, boats, or boat yards, are to be
arrested, and all terryiug is prohibited.
1t is 10 be Doted that the time is near
when the position of Kentucky will cease

icy to wait; but that day of settlement
was to come every rejecting mind saw was
inevitable. Itis scarcely possible that the
State will array itself against the Govern
ment. The leading men would do so if
they dared; the fact is. the common people
and non shareholders are loyal to the core,
and have not the least interest In the Rebel
COutederAcy. When the day comes yoa
will see swift and utter destruction Of the
institution of slavery. N. C. II.
