THE SITUATION IN KENTUCKY.The intention of the rebel* to invade Kentucky I* being carried oat, upon the plan heretofore reported, and the situation in that Btate is new quite interesting; though by no mean* se alarming as it would hare been had the in ration oeoarred a week or two earlier. The enemy was, we m|y be sure, well advised as to (he weakness of the Union army in that State; and upon this basis they laid their plans, and expected to be able, with fifteen or twenty thousand naaa, to overrun the oountry and oapture supplies, Mid, possibly, obtain possession of Louisville and Cincinnati. At the timfthe plans were formed, they seemed quite feasible; but it is exceedingly doubtful whether the enemy will now undertake to oarry them out. The latest news with referenoe to rebel movements is furnished by our Lexington correspondent. The enemy, it appears, crossed the Cumberland river in Clinton oounty, Ky , and moved via Stanford. Wooltord’s Cavalry, stationed at this place, skirmished with the advanoe of the rebels, three days, falling back toward Danville and Yraakfort, and at last accounts they had reached Dloks’ river.The whole rebel force north of the Cumberland river, in that section of the country, is estimated at 8,600 to 7,000. These are the most reliable figures; but rumors plaoe the number much higher. Ke-«nforoements, however, may be on the way, and this is probable, for it is not likely that the invasion would be undertaken with less than ten or fifteen thousand. The rebels have possession of Danville. It is understood that our supplies were removed from thfit plaoe.Ttift And 4tli Ohio AtAiianftri At
