Kentucky.

--The Atlanta Intelligencer says:

‘ We notice that some of our exchanges are in the habit of making rather imprudent statements relative to the late Southern movement in Kentucky. The news of a ‘"grand revolution in public sentiment"’ in that State cannot fail to be both pleasing and interesting, yet the good of our cause demands a prudent reserve in speaking of any new Confederate movement or stratagem by the citizens of that unfortunate State. The Intelligencer has been in possession of facts several days past, which, if published, could not fail to create sensations of pleasure in the bosom of every Southern man, but from prudential motives we decline publishing them. We have our information from an old friend, a member of Morgan's Squadron, and whose intelligence and probity entitle his statements to much credit. Suffice it for the present, that a decided change in public sentiment in Kentucky has taken place, and that a storm is brewing in that gallant State. We shall be greatly surprised if the ‘"rebel sympathizers"’ do not give a tangible form to their ‘"treason"’ in a few days.
