Louisville Journal & A Nashville Dispatch

The Louisvilla Journal says: The raid into the Blue Grass region was, by no means, formidable, but their presence indicates the presumption of the enmy and the helplessness of ourselves. It is the opinion of the best informed military men that the rebel raids, chronicled from day to day, are but the forerunners of a general invation through Cumberland Gap into northern Kentucky.

A Nashville dispatch of the 25th, says that Wheeler's cavalry, four brigades, are this side of the Cumberland: a portion of them being near Franklin, at which place there is a large Federal force under Gilbert. The latter apprehends no danger.
