Conflicting Accounts Regarding Their Number. Union Men Sutfer---Property of Rebel 8ym- pathizors Respected, &e., a, Be. Newspaper Accounts. | [From the Cincinnati Gazette, June 9.) FIRST APPRARANOK OF THB REBELS. Notwithstanding the rumors current in the papers for Blew days past, that Morgan was about to enter Ke tacky with a considerable force, but few belie he would rea!ly venture far in this direction. and when, yesterday afiernoon, the report came from Cynthiana that an advanced detachment of rebel ggidiers had made thelr appearance and begun their d@tructive work on the Kentucky Central Railroad, there was considerable ‘excitement, much running to and fro to hear the news, and speculation as to whether Morgan would extend his visit into Ohio. There was, however, no serious alarm manifested, for the measures promptly taken to check furthor progress of the raiders gave assurance of safety. ‘The (acts, so far'as we could obtain them by passengers ‘that came down the ratiroad last evening, and by tele- graph, are as follows:— CAPTURE OF CYNTHIANA, ‘The first intimation the people of Cynthiana had of a Tebel force near them was at cight or nine o'clock yos- torday morning, when messengeré came in from several points, saying that there were three hundred rebel Soldiers at Owings ville, ix hundred at Sterling, and that thero was a squad of thirty at Talbot's Station, three miles north of Paris, As goon as the train from Coving. ‘ton arrived, which was at ten o'clock, the conductor ‘was warned of danger in proceeding further.

Ovr men are burrowing in their earthworks like so many woodchucks, making themselves as comfortable as possible, and waiting with stoical patience, like the renowned Wilkins Micawber, for “something to turn up.’ A straggling fire is kept up by our pickets, and the whistle of rebel bullets can at all times be heard in the vicinity of our advanced line, Aside from this all is quiet, What the next thing on the programme will be engrosses considerable speculation; but the experience of our generals has made them very reticent, and we can only indulge in conjectures, without any definite idea of what the next movement will be or when it will occur, THE TEARING UP OF THE YORK RIVER RAILROAD, The slight damage that was done to the Richmond and York River Railroad was soon repaired, and for a day or two trains ran regularly between White House and Dis- patch Station, near our left; but at the present time a pra is engaged in tearing up the track and burning the ties.
