I. becomes our duty TO communicate 10 the
| 3ublie some fact connected vii the history Of
shs.la.e raid in Kentucky and the arrival of Mr,
VsIlsudighsua IN Ohio. About thrse weeks ago
( i was stated in this city by two men, one Of
whom lives in Indisns and the other in Ken
lucky that within ten days from that lime Nor
gan would snisr Ksniueky With not less than
four thousand cavalry, and would be ijiued by
lsrgs rsinlOreemsnts from kentucky and Indi-
ana. They stated distinctly shat the plsn was
10 draw Gen. BuTbridge into the Eastern part
Of kentucky, and by q rapid march pass around
aim and to The west Of him, Sc 70 Lexington
and Frankfort, and especially to capture and
mold a. prisoner Gov. BTsmiette, then march
napidig on ~ luisviile, ssizs The immense Gov
qrnmeBt stores in that city, possess themselves
Of whatever they wanted, expecting ct tho same
sine 70 be sble 10 procure transportation, by
means Of which they could cross the Ohio river
AID seizs tho cities Of JeffeTsonvilie and New
Albsny.
At the same time, IS q psrt Of the programme,
forces were TO bo collected in Owen county,
Ksntaeky, which we're to pass down the Ken
uckv river. in steamboats, sud bsTges, and cap
tgre the city Of Madison. The msstmsterisl
psrt Of the plan wss the capture Of Gov. Bfsm-
lette. which would place the government OF Ken
lucky in the hands Of Lieut.. Gov. Jacobs, whom
tBsy claimed, whether F~ightfally or not, to balm

ogeoly employ tbs resources of the Ssste and
arm The people to resist he Government After
tho capture Of Louisville, they were 10 march
dswu the Louisville and Nashville road, and de-
strov ne trasis-w3l Il and tuunel at MuldFsugh's
Mi. and the bridge acroas Green river at Mum
fordsvills, thus cutting off Shermsn's commu-
nieations. This scheme was regarded as being
ehimsricsl, especially thai part Of it rotating to
the capture of Gov. Brsmletle. Nevertheless,
Gov. Brzmlette was promptly informed Of the
threatescd invasion Of Kentucky By Morgan.
Subsequent events proved That these men knew
WbareOf they spoke, were acting in concert
with, and thoroughly informed Of, the designs
sad movements Of the rebels. Gen. Barhridge
wss drawn into The eastern part Of Kentucky,
Morgan marched entirely ar0und him, and his
s~fesaace 10 fhe State was scarcely known until
a portion of bis forces struck and destroyed the
Cincinnati aEd Lexington railroad bet aeenP Paris
and Cynihisns.
Morgan's plan was frustrated By the rapid
pursuit of Gen. Bnrbndge spd the prompt
movement Of troops from Cincinnati upon Gym
thisna A portion of his command, however,
proceeded RAPIDLY TO Frankfort for the capture
OF Gov. Brsmlelte. Brsmlstte retired into !
small fort, which had been previously erected At
Frankfort, carrying with him the archives of
he State, and, with = small force hastily col
lected, determined to resist TO the last extremity.
The fort was invested by Ae rsbals for three
DAYS, and Two flags of truce were sent to Gov.
Brsmletto, demanding hB surrender, which be
e8BteHoptuously rejected, declaring that he
Woald sever surrender while there Was a man
left to fire 8 gun. In the meAntims the victory
zhioh Burbridge had gained over the rebels at
CyRtaiaBa, ana the rapid advance Of forces to
sle relief Of Frankfort from Louisville, COM
PEELED The rebels-to raise the Seige Aad look out
Ior their own safety and sscspe.
The same msn stated at the same time that
IL. VAlandi CHAM would be in Hamilton, Ohio, !
on tho 18Th isy Of Jane, 20 attend the Grand
Council Of bis friends, and with the intention
OF remaining IN the State At all hazards, bidding
defiance to the Government, and asserting that
his friends 10 0hio, Indiana and Illinois were
thoroughly prepared for ell consequences. This
part Of the prediction has slso bean verified.
Nj. VallandighRm arrived in Hamilton day be-
fore yesterday, and made = false, malignant and
il ~aRmnstory speech against the GJvsrnmant,
distinctly intimstng that be and he friends
we're fully prepared to resist its authority. That
ms coming aud the whole programme were
widely knoHn throughout Indiana, is conelu-
sively proven by additional facts. On Monday
and Tuesday of this week large numbers Of
CopDerhes6 politicians, numbering not less than
one hundred, representing nearly every county
Ia the State, bad assembled without public no.
