As soon as the full particulars are received I will transmit to you the name of the commanding officer of the troops engaged. I am, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, John Pope, Major General Commanding. Morgan's movements in Kentucky. The excitement caused by Morgan's movements in Central Kentucky, had not calmed down at the last advices. The town of Paris being threatened, it was abandoned by the Federal troops that were stationed there, who fell back upon Lexington. A detachment of Home Guards was attacked between Mount Eden and Rough and Ready, a few were killed and the remainder taken prisoners. A report that Morgan was marching on Shelbyville created such a panic among the Home Guards at that place, that "they left," as the Cincinnati Commercial sarcastically remarks, "in

shes the following account of Morgan's raid in Kentucky: On Saturday, the 12th, John Morgan's outlaws were threatening the two most important cities in Central Kentucky. Morgan had moved from Harrodsburg to Lawrenceburg, in Anderson county, his scouts approaching Nicholasville on the east, as they pushed North, creating thebjects in this raid into Kentucky have been panic among the people and indecision among military managers. He has, in fact, kept every considerable place in Central Kentucky in a state of sledge, and frantically calling for assistance to defend it. Lexington could not spare a man to pursue him — because she momentarily expected aose, animated by hope of plunder, and regardless of remote consequences, will join in this raid upon their neighbors. If John Morgan is allowed to remain in Central Kentucky, attack town after town, defeat their defenders in detail, capture citizens, plunder houses, burn bridges, rebellion steal horses, and the like, he may becom

or out of the army doubted the result; that Generals Beauregard, Bragg, Price and Kirby Smith were at the head of 150,000 infantry and artillery and 12,000 cavalry, in supporting distance of each other in North Alabama, East Tennessee and Southeastern Kentucky, marching to the front and rear of Buell's and Grant's armies, supposed to number less than 150,000 that the Confederate cavalry, under Gene. Forest and Morgan, had cut off the Federal reinforcements and supplies by river and rail, destronfidently believed at Richmond that Buell's army would be captured or disposed that it could not possibly make a successful south of the Ohio river; that General Humphrey Marshall had left Abingdon, Virginia, with his division, entering Northeastern Kentucky for the Blue Glass Region, expecting to form a junction with General Kirby Smith, from Beauregard and Bragg's army; that Major General Holmes, at the head of thirty thousand man from Texas, Northwest Louisiana and Arkansas, had pasted For

s report is the fact that the large number of rebel troops who had been gathered in front of Cincinnati have now left that section, and at last accounts were moving in this direction. The enemy are gathering a large number of troops in the State of Kentucky, many of whom have heretofore been acting as Union home guards. In some instances whole companies have turned themselves, and the United States arms which had been entrusted to them, over to the rebels. Capture of a Prize.

Col. Wilder, of the 17th Indiana, has arrived, having been exchanged with the rebels for one Lieutenant and 26 privates. Rumo

two forces each equal to his own. I look upon the movement made by Bragg as certainly forced upon hi . After his movement in force to Munfordsville, and the reduction of that point, Bragg had no road to get South without fighting; for while he was engaged at Munfordsville Buell moved up to Cave City, and made a movement on the Glasgow road. There no longer remained an egress for him. What was more natural, then, than to avoid him, and push forward to some point by which he could reach Central Kentucky, and find the only available outlet from the State east of Glasgow? On a careful examination of the map it will be found that it is only by getting north of Muldraugh's Hills, and taking the turnpike road to Danville, Stanford, and London, that Bragg's large force can get out of the State at Cumberland Gap. It is surmised that Bragg is trying to avail himself of this outlet, and he proposes making an effort to destroy this army in the meantime. Should he approach this city by the

Woodward, captured on the Cumberland river, opposite Canton, Ky., four steamboats and their cargoes, consisting of munitions of war and supplies for Gen. Busll's army. The same letter says our forces have possession of Cumberland river in Southwestern Kentucky, and of the counties of Trigg, Lynch, Caldwell, Christian, and Todd.

urse in that direction. He was at Danville the geographical centre of the State, making political speeches to the people, at latest dates. His army is following, and will not stand, we apprehend, even to decide on the final course of the campaign, till all the forces are massed near Danville. There was besides an obvious military necessity for Bragg to make just such a movement to the east, and not toward the south. At Lexington, Frankfort, Paris, Mount Sterling, and all through Northern Kentucky, toward Covington and Maysville, the Confederates have their troops stationed. These are Humphrey Marshall's, Kirby Smith's, and John H. Morgan's men, ranging toward 25,000 in number. These men must be withdrawn before Bragg's army breaks front to move upon Nashville or any other Southern point; otherwise Buell, by moving east, would cut them off, leaving then north of the Kentucky river, and their capture would be inevitable. Bragg is moving east to save this portion of the Confede

and of a battle which was probably fought yesterday. Gen. Boyle expresses his belief in the truth of the account of the killing of the rebel Generals Bragg and Cheatham, in the action of Wednesday, than prevalent in Louisville. The late tidings from the recent battle ground in Kentucky give intimations that the rebels are concentrating at Camp Dick Robinson, in that State.--This camp has been remarkable in the history of the rebellion, but more particularly with regard to the State of Kentucky. It is situated on Dick's river, about five miles from Danville, and is finely located and well watered. The following is an extract from Buell's official report of the fight at Perryville: The enemy was everywhere repulsed, but not without some momentary advantage on the left. --During the night my several corps were put in position to attack next morning at 6 o'clock. Some skirmishing occurred with the enemy's rear guard, but the main body has fallen back to Harrisburg.--I

him and his paraders, in order that be might fall back on Cincinnati, does not appear. But at any rate, he would seem to be cut off from Louisville. The Kentucky is a limestone river, flowing all the way through one of the most thoroughly limestone countries in the world. It can be passed anywhere above Quaker's Ferry, the head of steamboat navigation, almost dry-shod, at this season of the year, and in such a drought as we have had. It will consequently form no barrier to the operations of either army. If Gen. Bragg has been as signally victorious as we hope and believe he has, it will have been, probably, the most important event of the war. It will throw the whole State of Kentucky into the arms of the Confederacy, and will free Tennessee, and eventually Mississippi. It will give new life and vigor to our cause everywhere. We think it very certain that the price of gold would not have advanced so rapidly had not the Yankees sustained a terrible reverse in Kentucky.
