jor-General Cheatham; Second Division, Brigadier-General B. Anderson; Third Division, Brigadier General George Many. This is the rebel army as it now stands, and which is composed of about fifty thousand men; but, if reports be true, there is to be another and a third corps added, of which Major-General Kirby Smith is to be the commander, and which is to be composed of the several divisions of the following named officers, namely: Generals Heath, Leadbeater, Rains, Reynolds, Churchill, Claiborne, and Maxey. What adds much to the probability of this 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

he rebels fled before them in confusion, forgetting, in their haste, to get away large quantities of arms, ammunition and other military stores. This place had been occupied by a division of Kirby Smith's army, about 4,000 strong, commanded by Claiborne, of Mississippi. Preston Smith and Hull held positions as Brigadier-Generals under Claiborne. Col. Nixon, whilom editor of the New Orleans Crescent, was the rebel provost marshal of the town. The rebel rule at that place is described as unusClaiborne. Col. Nixon, whilom editor of the New Orleans Crescent, was the rebel provost marshal of the town. The rebel rule at that place is described as unusually gentle. It is reported from the direction of Bardstown that the rebels are falling back from that place, though Bragg's army is, or has been, camped there. The Democrat, of this city, has information that Bragg is massing his troops back of Bardstown, with a view of marching through Springfield and Danville to Camp Dick Robinson, where he purposes fortifying and making a desperate stand.

ut, fights and bickering. The Mayor committed Beaty in default of security in the sum of $150. Wm. Caesar, a negro belonging to S. D. Denoon, was up for stealing five pieces of bacon, valued at $16, from Sampson Jones. The investigation implicated Robert, slave of Mr. Jones, as party concerned in the abstraction of the bacon, and both were consequently sent before the Court of Hustings, for trial, on the second Monday in November. Bill for their appearance was given. Betsy and Claiborne, slaves of Wm. Collingswood, were brought up for stealing 14 head of cabbage from Mrs. H. E. Hibble. The testimony made it appear that Betsy was most to blame, and she was ordered to be punished. Sundry negroes, including the following, viz.--Eliza Ann Smithers, Mary Fox, Chas. Henry, Dick Meekins, Lavinia Trent, Sally Boasman, free, and Henry, slave of Mrs. E. J.

more than double ours. Buell had 30,000 men. We fought with only 12,000, and took prisoners from five divisions. Our army is in the highest spirits. At Frankfort the matter was soon sided. The enemy under McCook fled before Kirby Smith. Withers out of his rear, took 700 prisoners and 14 wagons. Bragg's deducts being menaced, he at once withdrew his army to protect them. Immediately a flag of truce from the enemy asked permission to bury their dead. At daylight next morning after the fight not even a Yankee surgeon was left on the field. Their wounded were all less; our wounded were removed. General Polk had a narrow escape. Gen. Bragg says that he has the best troops in the world. Two thousand Kentuckian have taken arms, and here are organizing. Among our killed is Lieut-Colonel Patterson of the 1st Tennessee; Lieut. Col. Evans, of the Texas Rangers; Major W. Pryor. Commissary; Captain Cartwright, of Georgia, and Wm. S. May. of Gen. Claiborne's staff.

attack upon an encampment of the enemy in the vicinity of Suffolk. Such was the suddenness and vigor of the assault that the Yankees, apprehending the presence of a large Confederate force, fled precipitately, and were pursued to the limits of the town of Suffolk. In this attack the enemy had eleven killed and several wounded.--Our force engaged in this assault consisted of but one hundred and ten men. The enemy again advanced to Blackwater bridge on Friday, and made an attack upon our pickets at that point. On hearing of their approach a mounted regiment, under Col. Claiborne and Lt.-Col Taliaferro, hurried to meet them; but as soon as the enemy saw the regiment, they hastily retired in the direction of Zuni. Here they were engaged by our pickets, who held them in check until a portion of the regiment arrived, when a skirmish occurred in which they lost some fifteen killed and wounded. One company admitted a loss of six. It is believed they made their way back to Suffolk.

bout 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry. This column moved off in the direction of Isle of Wight Court-House, but at dusk suddenly diverged and bore towards Zuni and Joyner's Ford, bivouacking for the night at the farm of Robert D. Marshall. Zuni and Joyner's Ford, are near the sources of the Blackwater River, and but four miles distant from each other. At day dawn Friday morning the enemy made a simultaneous attack upon our troops at Zuni and Joyner's Ford, there being one company of Col. Claiborne's Rangers at each place. The rangers were dismounted, and fought gallantly, repulsing the enemy at each place, and driving him from the opposite bank of the narrow stream. About 8 o'clock, the enemy's cavalry having succeeded in fording or swimming the river, between Zuni and Joyner's Ford, suddenly made their appearance in the rear of Capt. Sykes's company at Joyner's Ford, charging upon them with a yell, which was distinctly heard at Ivor, three miles distant. Capt. Sykes and, hi
