ents, who are not at all so fortunate. The negro population are thought to act for their masters with zeal and fidelity. We heard of regiments and guards of colored people down South, and when the Confederates were at Munson's Hill one of their most forward skirmishes — an indefatigable fellow, always loading and firing — was a black man. There has been no great reinforcements received by this army lately, in consequence of the diversion of Ohio and Illinois and Indiana troops to the State of Kentucky and to the West, and the largest estimate of the forces in the field does not raise it much above the numbers given in one of my recent letters. It is in the New England States, and the emigration from them in the West, which have put forth their strength in the war for the Union, and the Puritan and Quaker element of the other States has been animated by a similar spirit. In the regiments in camp there are prayer meetings, and preaching, and revivals, and Young Men's Christian Assoc

at this place, (Col. White's having already gone to Knoxville) The prompt and efficient means used by Gen. Carroll has, we think, effectually checked the ardor of those deluded Unionists, and hereafter there will be little trouble in this quarter from them. B. The Flight from Wild Cat. From the Nashville (Tenn.) Ranner, of the 26th ult., we extract the following: We are informed that a copy of the Cincinnati Commercial, of the 21st, which contains a graphic letter from Eastern Kentucky, descriptive of an astoundingly rapid flight from Camp Wild Cat by the Yankee forces there encamped, was received in this city on yesterday. This race — which is pictured as surpassing Bull Ran or Leesburg — was occasioned by a rumor that Hardee and Buckner were advancing upon them with forty thousand men, to attack them in the rear Zollicoffer was to act in conjunction with them, (so report went,) and the whole united force was to swallow them and Camp Wild Cat at a single gulp.

rom the fort by an 18 pounder, the ball passing a little to the left or stern of the schooner, when she immediately turned to get out or the way, raising the United States flag at the same time. Four other shots were fired at her from the fort, all of which were line shots, the first striking the water short of the schooner and ricocheting, and apparently hitting her; the third, fourth, and fifth shots fell short, and probably did no damage, as she was now too far off. Things in Northern Kentucky--heavy reinforcements of the Yankees. The Louisville Courier, of the 26th November, contains the following: Movements at Louisville and elsewhere unmistakably indicate a speedy advance move of the Yankees in overwhelming numbers. For some ten days past two or three regiments have arrived at Louisville daily and been sent forward towards Bowling Green. Gen. Bull Nelson's command has been withdrawn from Prestonsburg to the mouth of Sandy, whence it was taken to Louisv

thus false to their pledges, their honor, and their interests, are not law, and that such a Government is unworthy of the support of a brave and free people; and we do hereby declare that the people are absolved from all allegiance to said Government, and have the right to establish any Government which to them may seem best adapted to the preservation of their rights and liberties. As heretofore announced, George W. Johnson was elected Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, under the Provisional Government. He has power, with the Council, to conclude a treaty with the Confederate States of America, by which the State of Kentucky may be admitted upon an equal footing in all respects with the other States of the Confederacy. Whenever this treaty shall have been concluded, the Governor and Council will elect two Senators, and provide by law for the election of delegates to Congress. The Commissioners to Richmond are Hons. William Preston, H. C. Burnett, and W. E. Sirms.

oore, which has been raised in this portion of the State, is also ready to march for the same destination, and will set off to-morrow morning. These troops, with the forces already at Gen. Marshall's camp, and the Kentuckians at Pound Gap, will give that General a handsome little army with which to enter Kentucky and rally the loyal citizens of the Eastern part of that State to the Confederate cause. Gen. Marshall will be in supporting distance of Gen. Zollicoffer, and his presence in Eastern Kentucky will greatly stiffen up our affairs in the direction of Cumberland Gap. Contrary to the rumors which were rife in Richmond about two weeks ago, the enemy never approached Pound Gap much nearer than Piketon. Hearing of the attack of Col. Clarkson's cavalry, from General Floyd's army, on Guyandotte, they took a panic, and, after gathering up all the plunder they could carry from Piketon, took themselves off down the Sandy, and along the road leading westward to Paris. They found, t

Southeastern Kentucky. We have confirmatory accounts of the report that Southeastern Kentucky has been evacuated by the Yankee forces, which had previously been advancing towards Pound Gap. The information which we receive is to the effect that they suddenly departed from Pike and Floyd counties, in obedience to orders from Cincinnati, and that steamers were sent up the Big Sandy to convey them away. Col. Trigg's regiment, which had been encamped in Tazewell county, Va., received orderst that Southeastern Kentucky has been evacuated by the Yankee forces, which had previously been advancing towards Pound Gap.

Federal reports from Southeastern Kentucky. a disastrous defeat — Sufferings of the Federal troops. [from the correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial London, Ky., Nov. 14, 1861. There is a current rumor in camp that appeals of prominent Tennesseeans for an immediate movement into East Tennessee is about to be granted by the War Department Hon. Andy Johnson and Hon. Horace Maynard have been urging this movement vehemently, as essential to the salvation of the Union men of East Tennessee. Readers are supposed to be familiar with their arguments. I will not therefore, recapitulate. But the rumor of movements caused much enthusiasm among the Tennesseeans, whose anxiety to return to their homes is intense — Their desire is paramount. Every other feeling is merged in it. I placed no confidence in the report, because we cannot move. This column is not strong enough to invade Tennessee. To be sure there is no enemy at the Gap, excepting a small garrison,

Gen. Bull Nelson. --The following "order" of Gen. Bull Nelson is a genuine Yankee-Mexican document: Headquarters Camp Hopeless Chase, Piketon, Ky.,Nov. 10, 1861. Soldiers: I thank you for what you have done. In a campaign of twenty days you have driven the rebels from Eastern Kentucky, and given repose to that portion of the State. You have made continued forced marches over wretched roads; deep in mud, badly clad, you have bivouacked on the wet ground, in the November rains, without a murmur.--With scarce half rations, you have pressed forward with unfailing perseverance. The only place that the enemy made a stand, though ambushed and very strong, you drove him from it in the most brilliant style. For your constancy and courage I thank you, and, with the qualities which you have shown you possess, I expect great things from you in the future. W. Nelson.

Southeastern Kentucky. Our latest intelligence from Southeastern Kentucky gives a cheerful view of affairs in that quarter. Gen. Mirshall has commenced his advance movement with a force amply sufficient, and the people congratulate themselves that he will arrive at Lexington, or some other point not very far from Cincinnati, at no distant day.

We are gratified to hear that the regiment of brave Kentuckians under command of Col. John S. Williams, have been amply provided, from Richmond, with an abundance of clothing, over-coats, blankets and shoes. On a recent expedition Col. Williams captured 25 wagon roads on provisions, intended for the Yankees, together with the owner of the property, an intense Lincolnite, and returned safely to camp.

Major Gen George Crittenden has arrived at Knoxville, Tenn., to take command of the forces in East Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. Gen. Crittenden is the widest son of John J. Crittenden, but, unlike his father and brother, is true to the cause of the South. We observe from the Greensboro' (N. C.) Patriot that "Messrs Catharine and Julia Bunker, daughters of the Siamese twins," have contributed six pairs of socks for the soldiers. Also, the same report says "Mrs. Adelside Bunker and daughters, family of Siamese twins, seven pairs." A little boy became "a mourner" at a Methodist protracted meeting, and when the preacher very lovingly asked him if he did not want to be born again, amid broken ob replied, "no, I don't want to be born again!" "why," said the preacher, somewhat astonished, "because I am afraid I'll be a gal."
