On September 4th Colonel Scott, with a brigade of cavalry, was ordered to push on as near as practicable to Louisville, and to destroy the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Heth, with a division of infantry and a brigade of cavalry, marched north; some of his troops, on September 6th, reached the suburbs of Covington, but his instructions were not to make an attack upon the city.

ering States, they produced an excitement which was intense in some places, amounting almost to consternation. Business at Cincinnati was for a few days entirely suspended for the purpose of defense; intrenchments were vigorously prosecuted at Covington and Louisville by the labor of the citizens and the troops, and raw regiments in the process of formation were hurried into Cincinnati and Louisville from Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The Government of Kentucky sought refuge at Louisville, whele occupation enough perhaps for a brigade joined the invaders. The arrival of Bragg at Bardstown gave the Confederates virtual possession of the whole of Kentucky east of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, excepting within the limits of Covington and Louisville, and Smith called his troops together near Frankfort to assist in the proposed attack upon Louisville.
