The bouisville Journal , of the 9th ins t., has the foHwing: The movement of General Grant to Paducah was right. It was a necessity. It was not made an hour too soon. If it had been delayed a little longer, the town would have been in the hands of the Confederate troops, os Hickman and Chalk Blufis already were. General Grant’s proclama tion, which our readers have seen, was exactly What the occasion demanded. And now the con flict upon Kentucky soil, so long and so earnestly deprecated by us and all other good citizens, is at hand. At any hour we may hear of a bloody col lision within, the limits of our State between the forces of the Southern Government that have in vaded us and the troops of our own Government. Blood will flow, and flow freely, unless the Con federate troops shall at once withdraw, and this we scarcely venture to hope. VISIT TO THE UNION FORTIFICATIONS. The President, Secretary Cameron, Governor Curtin, and suite, Tisited the encampment on the Virginia side of the Potomac on Tuesday afternoon. They were reeeived near the Union fortifications by General McClellan and Brigadier General Smith, with their respective staffs, and honored by a grand salvo of artillery from Captain Griffin’s United States battery. The workmen on the fortifications, when the announcement was made that the Presi dent was approaching, turned out tn masse in working costume, and greeted the Chief Magistrate and bis guests with nine hearty cheers. The Pre sident bowed a respectful acknowledgment to the compliment. General McClellan being called on, made the fol lowing speech: Soluiers : IVe have had our last retreat. We have seen our last defeat, l'ou stand by me, and I will stand by yon, and henoeforth victory will crown our efforts. CAPTURE OP A CHARLESTON SCHOONER.

C6EKTERPBM eoSPEDEP.A*E KOfgS, The Leesburg Wa-shvngtonian of Saturday last says: It seems that there are some individuals, says the Richmond Dispatch, on this side of Ma son and Dixon’s line who are base enough to engage in the nefarious work of counterfeiting. The Ex frees informs ns that the Bank of the City of etersburg rejected, on Thursday, a counterfeit of tho Confederate Government notes, of the denomi nation of five dollars. Counterfeit fives on the Merchants’ Bank of Lynchburg are in circulation. These notes are supposed to be put in circulation by somebody fol lowing the army, and we caution the soldiers espe cially against receiving them. The genuine notes are wholly unlike the counterfeit ones. CENSUS OF CHARLESTON. The Charleston (S. C.)

THE BLOCKADE OF THE FLORIDA COAST. The Charleston Courier of the sth instant has the following: A passenger from East Florida, with whom we conversed yesterday, informed us that the whole coast of St. Augustine is blookaded; but that ves sels manage to elude the vigilance of the blocka des. He reports a vessel laden with coffee and fruit having rnn the blockade on the 29th ultimo, tinder a heavy fire of shot and shell from the fleet. They all fell short of her, however, and did no da mage. Some two honrs previous to his departure, there had been, off St. Augustine, an exchange of shots between the fleet and the Floridians on the coast. The Floridians express themselves as very confi dent that with the assistance of their batteries they can bid defiance to all and any of Lincoln’s pirati cal inradors. The planters have unanimously determined not to ship a pound of Sea Island cotton, either North or South, for speculation, having pledged their en tire crop to the good of the Confederate States.

He re ports the town deserted of soldiery, but still full of wounded. McCulloch was said to be twenty miles southwest. He says he psssed a part of Price’s camps along the road as far as Bolivar, and heard of Ms main foree, fire or six thousand, on the road to Osceola. This goes to confirm the rumor of a projeoted attack upon this place. ** Forewarned, forearmed:’’ The reportg of forces on the Other side of tjie river mnst also in part confirm it; for if Prioe designs attacking Jefferson City, his friends on the north will make every effort to cross to his assistance, or to cat us off from St. Louis. It is suggested by some that Glen. Price’s desti nation may be Lexington. It is sufficiently certain that his having taken thu road to Osceola ho has gone considerably out Of his way if he intends th airing this point, hut the road is said to bo much bettor than the shorter one from Warsaw.

Colonel Marshall arrived there about two o’clock Sunday afternoon, and the gallant little garrison is for the present safe.
