Drill and Encampment Badge & Kentucky LCR Lead

I found these two items in a Tennessee C.S. camp/housesite. The badge says Inter-State Drill & Encampment at the top with a pictue of a horse-drawn wagon carrying three men and a cannon. At the bottom it says Memphis, Tenn. I have the feeling this badge could be post-war.

The lead bar (approximately 3" long) embossed with Kentucky LCR.

I have no idea what these items are and would appreciate any help anyone can give me identifying them.

Poptop, I'd be very careful about cleaning it till I found out more. Here's some other medals most of which sold and one left that's $500.

My 1st impression was LCR stood for Log Cabin Republican but boy have their political views changed.
