July 30. The rebel Colonel, John H. Morgan, reported to Major-General E. Kirby Smith, commanding department of East-Tennessee, the result of his expedition into Kentucky. He left Knoxville, Tenn., on the fourth, with about nine hundred men, and returned to Livingston, in the same State, on the twenty-eighth instant, with nearly twelve hundred men, having been absent twenty-four days, during which time he travelled over a thousand miles, captured seventeen towns, destroyed the Government supplies and arms in them, dispersed about fifteen hundred home guards, and paroled nearly twelve hundred regular troops. He lost in killed, wounded, and missing, of the number that he carried into Kentucky, about ninety.--(See Supplement.) The bells contributed to the rebel government, by the churches, planters, and others, to be cast into cannon, and seized by Gen. Butler at New Orleans, were sold at auction in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bishop of Oxford, England, addressed a letter

salt. The suffering of the men from the want of the necessaries of life, of clothing, and of repose, has been most intense, and a more melancholy spectacle than this solemn, hungry, and weary procession, could scarcely be imagined. Destitute of provisions and forage, the sadly-smitten Confederates were partially dispersed among the hills on the borders of Kentucky and Tennessee, while seeking both. Crittenden retreated first to Monticello, and then continued his flight until he reached Livingston and Gainesborough, in the direction of Nashville, in order to be in open communication with Headquarters at the latter place, and to guard the Cumberland as far above it as possible. Thus ended the battle of Mill Spring (which has been also called the Battle of Beech Grove, Fishing Creek, and Somerset), with a loss to the Nationals of two hundred and forty-seven, of whom thirty-nine were killed, and two hundred and eight were wounded; and to the Confederates of Army Forge. three hundr

rriedly written, with a willing but weary hand, so excuse the confused parts of the letter. The Ninth Ohio, which, some way, I came very near omitting, deserves especial praise. Colonel McCook rushed his men up just about the time the Tenth Indiana was giving ground. And the Indiana boys say the Ninth fought like tigers, and are just such backers as they would always like to have. --Cincinnati Commercial. Secession Narratives. Louisville (Nashville) courier account. Livingston, Overton Co., Tenn., January 25, 1862. As every thing concerning the contest in Kentucky is of peculiar interest to you and to the readers of your paper, I propose giving you some account of the battle of Fishing Creek, fought in Wayne County, on the Upper Cumberland, on Sunday, the nineteenth day of this month. It will be remembered that some two months ago, Brig.-Gen. Zollicoffer moved with a portion of his command to Mill Springs, on the southern bank of the Cumberland River, and soon after

I also found the arms that had been taken from Zollicoffer, together with large quantities of shell and ammunition, all of which were destroyed. I also burned at this place and Crab Orchard, 120 government wagons. From Somerset I proceeded to Monticello and from there to a point between Livingston and Sparta, where my command is now encamped. I left Knoxville on the 4th day of this month with about 900 men and returned to Livingston on the 28th with nearly 1,200, having been absent just 24 days, during which time I traveled over one thousand miles, captured seventeen towns, destroyed all the government supplies and arms in them, dispersed about 1,500 Home Guards, and paroled nearly 1,200 troops. I lost in killed, wounded and missing, of the number I carried into Kentucky, about 90. I take great pleasure in testifying to the gallant bravery and efficiency of my whole command.

Hensley S, Bingham, United States Senator from Michigan, died of apoplexy at his residence at Green Oak, on the 5th inst., in his 53d year. The sick of General Floyd's brigade, recently at Raleigh Court-House, have been removed to Mercer Court-House. It is rumored that the brigade is likely to winter at Newbern. A private letter from Col. S. Borland to the little Rock Gazette states that he has not been promoted to the position of Brigadier General. The "Trout House," of Atlanta, Ga., has not been destroyed by fire, as erroneously reported by one of our exchanges. John Sharp, of Paris, Ky., committed suicide by shooting himself, a few days since. He was married the day previous.

exploit performed lately by Dr. Strader, of Captain John Morgan's command, which is worthy of record. Learning that a large quantity of knapsacks, &c., left by the army of Crittenden in his masterly retreat, was in the vicinity of Livingston, Overton county, Tenn., he procured permission from Major-Gen. Hardes to go after them. Proceeding alone, in citizen's dress, without even a pocket knife for protection, he collected at different places over 7,000 knapsacks, worth three dollars apiece, ahe vandals. A Tennessee correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy gives another illustration of what may be expected from the villains who pretend to be fighting for the honor of a country's flag: A gentleman who lives near the town of Livingston, in this State, and who is favorably known to parties here as a man of truth, says that a company of Tories from Kentucky went to his house a few day since, during his absence, and drove away all his horses and live stock, destroyed his househo
