of a portion of the State by the Yankees was about to produce a corresponding movement by the Confederates, they raised a howl that could be heard beyond the Rocky Mountains. They were great advocates of neutrality, as long as it did not interfere with the military operations of the Yankees. As soon as the Confederates moved, they raised their united voices against it. It was no violation of neutrality for the Yankees to establish a camp of 10,000 men on the soil, preparatory to invading Tennessee. It is a palpable violation of neutrality for the Tennesseeans to enter and attack these men. There can be no doubt of the result. There will be civil war in Kentucky, and a very bloody one. The descendants of the old Virginia settlers, with a very few exceptions, will stand by the South. But unfortunately Kentucky is cursed with a heavy Yankee population, chiefly residing along the Ohio River. These will not only resist, themselves, but they will bring over their brother Yankees
Affairs at Cumberland Gap. --General Zollicoffer. who commands our forces in East. Tennessee and the extreme part of Southwestern Virginia, has moved his camp forward from Cumberland Gap, the common point of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and proceeded with his army some fourteen miles into Kentucky to Cumberland Ferry and Long Mountain Heights. This advance has been made for strategis named. A report has been in circulation that Andrew Johnson, the notorious traitor of East Tennessee, was on his way through Kentucky, attended by an escort of six thousand Federal troops, in the direction of East Tennessee.

It is believed that the Confederate force posted at Cumberland Ferry and thereabouts is sufficient to prevent the ingress into Virginia and Tennessee of any force taking that direction.
Interference with Telegraph lines. --The Lincoln administration have obtained possession of the telegraph office at Louisville and at other points in Kentucky. We also learn from a reliable source that the Hessians recently obtained possession of the cable connecting Mobile and New Orleans, and after destroying a portion, sunk the balance in the bay. Unless the Hessians are driven off, it is likely these interruptions will continue to occur at exposed points on the coast. However, we have a secure and safe route by the lines extending to Chattanooga, over the roads in our own State and Tennessee, and thence down the Mississippi valley to New Orleans, that the depredators cannot reach. Our telegraphic reporter states that the line from Mobile to New Orleans was in working order last night, but it is uncertain how long it will continue with Lincoln's blockading fleets in that region.
