ve been tardy, but all will be well so soon as we can get guns. Kentucky will arouse up her sons and put on her strength, and be "Kentucky for the Union forever." Yours, truly, Henry Grider, M. C.,Bowling Green District, Ky. From camp Dick Robinson. The special (Camp Dick Robinson) correspondent of the Cincinnati Times, Oct. 16th, says: The Hon.

Andy Johnson and Horace Maynard arrived here Thursday evening last, and are at present in our midst. A large squad of Tennessean just escaped from the "Philistines" also arrived in camp the same night. Numbers of these brave fellows are now constantly arriving here, Zollicoffer's emissaries not being able to prevent their escape. I have to day conversed with men just arrived from Clinton county, Kentucky, on the Tennessee border. They state that they have forced the rebels back in that quarter, killing several, and capturing horses, arms, and camp equipage. They contradict the report of the death of the notorious

from Frankfort, Ky., gives the following exaggerated account of volunteering for the Federal army in Kentucky, and at the same time exhibits his apprehension for the safety of Louisville. He says: The previous estimates of the number of soldiers furnished by our State for the war, as presented to the readers of the Journal, are substantially correct. There were in camp up to November 8th, as reported to the Military Board, 17,200 recruits; four regiments, aggregating 4,000, at Camp Dick Robinson; 2,000 men with Gen. Roussean, and the Louisville Provost Marshal's force of 500--in all 23,700 men in the State. To these should be added 1,000 in the two regiments now in Western Virginia; 1,000 enlisted in other States, and about 300 for the regular army at Newport Barracks. This gives a total of 26,000 now ready. There are forty-three fractional regiments in process of formation, and by consolidation about twenty full regiments will be furnished this week, and I have no doub

Nashville, Nov. 26. --Movements in Louisville and elsewhere in Kentucky, afford indications of early movements by the Federals. Large numbers of them, for the past ten days, have arrived and departed for their respective rendezvous. Three regiments have arrived at Louisville daily, and been sent forward towards Bowling Green. General Nelson's command has been withdrawn from Prestonsburg to the mouth of the Sandy, from which point they were sent to Louisville, Wild Cat, and Camp Dick Robinson. Troops seem to be concentrating at Danville and Crab Orchard. [second Dispatch] Nashville, Nov. 27. --The Louisville Courier, of yesterday, learns that a squad of 12 men were sent to Franklin, Ky., on Monday last to arrest some Lincolnites who were committing depredations in that neighborhood. The Lincolnites had collected to the number of twelve or fifteen, at the house of one of their number. The owner of the house defied our squad, and fired upon our men, and killed

. 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 Louisville by steamboats.

d not long before day. The teams were also moving all night long. The necessity to carry the sick obliged us to leave much stores and ammunition. I am told we left twenty-two tons of ammunition at London. And yet, readers, we are making a forced march to prevent the enemy from cutting us off, or to save Blue Grass. Strange that soldiers should leave their ammunition and march to meet the enemy. At Pitman's we met thirteen wagons loaded with commissary stores, en route from camp Dick Robinson for London. These were unloaded immediately, and proceeded to London for patients and stores. Some of the regiments had necessarily left their tents and camp equipage, so that even had fatigue permitted them to pitched tents they could not have enjoyed the luxury. November 14--A heavy storm of rain roused the bivouacked from sleep. Their blankets and clothing were saturated with water. The morning was most dismal.

the Mississippi, as well by laud as by river, was preparing at Cairo and Paducah, and our Western Generals and Governors were calling urgently for more troops, while bridges were burring and insurrection raising its fearful head in the interior. In the Price and McCulloch were pressed back to Missouri, and in danger of attack from a mont, and afterwards Hunter. General Zollicoffer was considered in imminent danger from a very large force that was pressing him from the direction of Camp Dick Robinson; and Nelson was at Prestonsburg and Piketon, preparing to cross the Cumberland Mountain into Virginia with ten thousand men. Finally, Rosencranz was in force five to one against us in the Kanawha. In four weeks the aspect of affairs has completely changed. The conduct of the enemy has been marvellous and even a musing. The bombardment of Pensacola proved to be a ridiculous failure. Nothing has been effected beyond mere landing and entrenching at Port Royal. Evansport has not b

ed many horses, large quantities of grain, and provisions of all kinds. Mr. Hall, of Mercury county, was robbed of fourteen hundred bushels of grain. All the churches, the deaf and dumb asylum, and a number of private residences in Danville, have been seized for hospital purposes. The residence of Dr. K. J. Breckinridge has thus been appropriated. They require accommodations for about three thousand sick. The rebels are engaged in fortifying the bridge over Kentucky river, near Camp Dick Robinson, and announce their determination to make a desperate stand there when attacked. The Effectiveness of the New Yankee Levies. The Washington Star calls on the Government to fill the old regiments, and let raising new ones alone.

But that truth is, but two or three such regiments were under fire, and those only after the acting in wh

p, where a great battle would be fought. They had burnt the bridge behind them. A later telegram, sent at midnight, says: Lexington is mostly evacuated by the rebels, there being only one hundred remaining. They took and carried to Camp Dick Robinson 7,000 barrels of pork from Chenault & Co., packed on their own account and for other parties, mostly Secessionists. They also took $90,000 worth of jeans and linseys from Oldham, Scott & Co., which they have manufactured into clothing.

hen this dispatch left Louisville a courier was expected to arrive in the course of the night bringing details of the pursuit of the rebels, 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 at

Prisoners captured from them in the battle of Wednesday say that this was to be their "last ditch." Kirby Smith moved from Harrodsburg on Friday, but, back of Perryville is not yet determined. He is now with Bragg beyond a doubt. Humphrey Marshall left Lexington with his force a week ago, and is now at Camp Dick Robinson, John Morgan, with his guerrilla band, was the last to leave the line of the Louisville and Lexington Railroad, and is now cooped up with the others betweenenridge, at Maysville, directing her to meet the reasonable John C. at Danville.
