Among the rumors from Washington may be placed this one, furnished by the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun: The leaders of the Southern movement are consulting as to the best mode of consolidating their interests into a confederacy under a Provisional Government.

A company of Light Artillery was yesterday organized in Nelson county, for the service of the Confederate States. The officers of the company are Woodville Latham, Jr., Captain; James N. Lamkin, 1st Lieutenant; Edward E. Jefferson, 2d Lieutenant; F. T. Massie, 3d Lieutenant.
