n nearer to Bowling Green, without laying open to the enemy a choice of roads into East Tennessee. General Johnston desired to place Zollicoffer, with his limited supplies and half-disciplined troops, in observation merely, until such time as he could reinforce his army or incorporate it with the main body under his own command. As Zollicoffer proceeded north, through Jamestown, Tennessee, and Albany, Kentucky, he reported that the country in Tennessee was sterile and unproductive; while Wayne and Clinton Counties, and part of Pulaski County, in Kentucky, were comparatively abundant in forage and subsistence. The Cumberland River, making a big bend to the north from Cumberland Ford, describes almost a semicircle before it enters Tennessee, near Martinsburg. At one of its most advanced salients to the north is Mill Springs, on the south bank of the river. Zollicoffer describes this point as commanding the converging roads from Somerset and Columbia, as in a fertile and well-stoc

l in one dreadful ruin. The people — nearly all of the bitterest and most violent secessionists and rebels, with scarcely ten righteous among them, far in advance, in rebel work, of any in all Western Virginia--the people have met with a terrible retribution, awfully severe, yet the fruit of their own works. What a reward is theirs! Ten of its leading men now prisoners in jail, their stores, hotels, and fine residences in total ruins, their families wanderers! Col. K. V. Whaley, of Wayne Co., Va., was forming the Ninth Virginia regiment, with his camp at Guyandotte. He had altogether about one hundred and fifty men, but many were absent on furlough last Sunday. On Saturday, thirty-five men of the cavalry of Col. Zeigler's Fifth Virginia, under Lieuts. Feazzel and Shanley, joined him; and probably Col. Whaley had on Sunday night, when attacked, not to exceed one hundred and thirty-five or one hundred and forty men under his command in Guyandotte. Eighteen were in the hospital,

The Richmond Dispatch has heard that, in Wayne county, Va., when it was proposed to draft the militia, they instantly, to a man, volunteered for the war. This unexpected response was so unusual that contentions resulted upon the question of remaining at home, and those upon whom this lot fell were loud in their expressions of disappointment. N. Y. Herald, January 29.

A Chapter of Rebel Outrages.--The deeds of Zollicoffer's hordes are as atrocious as any committed by the rebellious Sikhs in the British Indian war, and Nena Sahib is an angel of light and mercy compared to the confederate ruffians. In proof that this assertion is no exaggeration, Mr. W. M. Green, who was compelled to leave Jamestown, Russell County, and take refuge at Columbia, writes to us from the latter place that the counties of Clinton, Wayne, and Russell are completely overrun by the confederates. Their force consists of eleven regiments of infantry and about one thousand five hundred cavalry, with eight pieces of cannon, two of which are rifled twelve-pounders. The cavalry are ranging over the country, shooting down citizens or taking them prisoners, and taking possession of all the horses, cattle, hogs, and bedclothes. In some instances they have compelled Union men to pull off their coats and boots, that they might appropriate them. They have taken fourteen citiz
