. He was at Danville the geographical centre of the State, making political speeches to the people, at latest dates. His army is following, and will not stand, we apprehend, even to decide on the final course of the campaign, till all the forces are massed near Danville. There was besides an obvious military necessity for Bragg to make just such a movement to the east, and not toward the south. At Lexington, Frankfort, Paris, Mount Sterling, and all through Northern Kentucky, toward Covington and Maysville, the Confederates have their troops stationed. These are Humphrey Marshall's, Kirby Smith's, and John H. Morgan's men, ranging toward 25,000 in number. These men must be withdrawn before Bragg's army breaks front to move upon Nashville or any other Southern point; otherwise Buell, by moving east, would cut them off, leaving then north of the Kentucky river, and their capture would be inevitable. Bragg is moving east to save this portion of the Confederate army that is nort

n Cincinnati; and Beauregard states the best way to reach them from Chattanooga, with Buell at Huntsville and Stevenson. It was his opinion a detachment could take Louisville, while the main body would be marching to Cincinnati. He contemplated the construction of a work at the former city for the command of the Ohio river and the Louisville canal, and the destruction of the latter as soon as possible. To keep the command of Cincinnati he would construct a strong work, heavily armed, at Covington. All these measures, however, have been defeated. New York Market — Gold 130.

er as soon as possible, so completely that future travelers would hardly know where it was. This I would do as a return for the Yankee vandalism in attempting to obstruct forever the harbors of Charleston and Savannah. A detachment of our army could, I think, take Louisville, while the main body would be marching to Cincinnati; but if we could get boats enough it would be shorter to go up the Ohio in them. To keep the command of Cincinnati would construct a strong work, heavily armed, at Covington. Now for the operation in Western Tennessee.--The object there should be to drive the enemy from there, and resume the command of the Mississippi river for these purposes. I would concentrate rapidly at Grand Junction Price's army, and all that could be spared from Vicksburg of Van Dorn's. From there I would make a forced march to Fort Pillow, which I would take with probably only a very small loss. It is evident the forces at Memphis and Yazoo river would then have their line o

Alleged Cure for small-pox. A correspondent in Covington sends the following "alleged cure for small-pox." He says he cut it from a paper some years since. The remedy may be a good one, and if so, its publication at this time may be attended with benefit to those who are so unfortunate as to contract that loathsome disease, now becoming so prevalent in different portions of our Confederacy: The United States Consul at the Rio Grande de Sul, Brazil, has transmitted to the Department of State a very interesting communication from Dr. R. Landell, of Post Alegre, claiming the discovery of a cure for the small-pox. Dr. Landell states that the idea of using the remedy to be mentioned first occurred to him during a terrible epidemic of the disease in 1837; but that he first administered it in 1842, since which time his success, and that of his son, Dr. John Landell, and other colleagues in the treatment of small-pox, has been most flattering.--As the Secretary of State has comm
