and has troops that are equal to anything that is possible. Although the enemy has assumed a threatening attitude, I question whether he will venture to attack Hindman. I suppose, rather, that both commands occupy only a position of watchfulness, or as guards, on the important line between Bowling Green and Lexington, and Louisville. The contest, if there be any fighting of consequence, will be, probably, to the east of that line. The movements of the forces of the enemy and of Marshall's and Zollicoffer's divisions in that direction indicate this. The Federals have much greater advantages than we have for transporting troops and provisions and munitions of war, having railroad communication a great part of the way and a rich and populous country to pass through, while our troops have to pass through a broken and comparatively sparsely settled country by common roads.

The Bowling Green correspondent of the Union and American, under date of the 20th instant, reports that place will be advanced upon from both sides, simultaneously, with a combined Yankee force of 60,000. Since the work and repairs on the railroad bridge have been commenced, several pontoon bridges have been thrown across the river, upon which wagons and cannon can easily be crossed. Gen. Hindman is ten miles South of Green river, and has been strongly reinforced. It is surmised that there will be no general engagement beyond Bowling Green, for at that point a stand will be made, and a decisive battle fought. Intelligence from Eastern Kentucky announces that the people are rising in overwhelming numbers and joining the standard of Gen. Humphrey Marshall, as he approach as the Blue Grass region.
