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 renegade, Jim Christman. He had been shot through the right shoulder by a musket ball, being severely wounded, but was still living. We h
