A rebel preacher.--Mr. William Keen, a highly respectable citizen of Cumberland County, Ky., is an honored member of the Methodist Church. The Rev. T. J. Moore, of Franklin, Simpson County, a well-known Methodist preacher, was a chaplain in Morgan's band.
It is difficult to understand what Morgan's band wanted of a chaplain, but very easy to understand that, if they did want one, Moore was exactly their man.
Thus Keen and Moore belong to the same church.
Morgan's band, upon the occasion of their late advent into Kentucky, took possession of Keen's house, south of Cumberland River.
Before retiring at night, Keen, courteously and in a Christian-like manner, asked Moore to pray.
Moore consented, and offered up a fervent prayer, Keen occasionally responding Amen.
Near the close of the prayer, the rebel parson prayed for the success of the rebel cause, and, in a loud voice, asked God that, if necessary to the success of the rebellion, he would strike dead every man, woman, and c

The Reinforcement of Donelson impossible.
--A correspondent of the N. O. Picayune.
writing from Murfreesboro', Tenn., makes the subjoined statement;
On Thursday, February 13, the first day of the fight at Donelson, our forces at Bowling Green were on their way to Nashville by the turnpike road through Franklin, Ky. On Saturday, 6th they all had come up at Nashville, thus rendering it utterly impossible to have sent reinforcements, and which, if it could have been done, would only have been subject to capture.
It is thus clearly evident that the retreat from Bowling Green was compulsory in order to save our army, and that the means of further reinforcing Donelson was to tally impracticable, while Nashville, being untenable, we were obliged to fall back upon this point.
It is plain to all military men that no other course could have been pursued, and that the assurance should prove perfectly satisfactory to our people, however humiliating and disastrous the results may hav

On the day our forces fell back six miles through the valley planting artillery on either side.
When they was resumed on Thursday morning, our arms mowed the enemy down, and the slaughter in reported as awful.
