Lieut. Christy, of the First Kentucky, has been placed upon Gen. Cox's staff. The rebels, from the best authority that can be obtained here, have fled the country, and are not expected to stop until they reach the eastern shores of Virginia. Should this be the fact there will not be much more fighting in this valley. Gen. Cox, will, however, proceed on up the valley with dispatch, to Gauley Bridge. 10 A.

Anderson sent for me, and I found with him Mr. Guthrie, president of the Louisville & Nashville Raoff the track, and thereby give us time. Mr. Guthrie explained that in the ravine just beyond San had sent to collect some Home Guards, and Mr. Guthrie to get the trains ready. It was after midnresent the actual state of affairs, and got Mr. Guthrie to go with me across to Jeffersonville, to Louisville. The train was behind time, but Mr. Guthrie and I waited till it actually arrived. Mr. could be. This seemed to surprise him, and Mr. Guthrie added his persuasion to mine; when Mr. Cameto confirm the truth of which I appealed to Mr. Guthrie, who said that every word I had spoken was for the New York Tribune newspaper.

Thus appealed to, Mr. Guthrie said lie diMr. Guthrie said lie did not consider himself, being a civilian, competent to give an opinion as to the extent of force ne

About this time, viz., the early part of April, I was much disturbed by a bold raid made by the reb
General Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky, writes to a friend in Cincinnati, under date of April 27, as follows:-- We could not control the Governor and his coconspirators, but we appealed to the people, and on next Saturday we expect to elect John J. Crittenden, James Guthrie, and others, to a brotherly peace conference--by a majority unparalleled heretofore in Kentucky. I shall not be surprised at fifty thousand. The destructionists, anticipating their fate, have recently resolved to abandon the contest. Then, in Heaven's name 1 let us alone — keep the peace on your side of the river, and we will give treason such a rebuke in Old Kentucky that it will never again dare to raise its hideous head among us. We cannot turn our Governor out of office till his term expires, and he is the military commander-in-chief of the State; but we can keep Kentucky in the Union--if you will let us.
