the relatives of the killed seldom ever forget it. It is said that Opothleyholo and his Creek followers are very hostile to the Creek Regiment under Colonel McIntosh, who is a descendant of General McIntosh, who was slain by the Creeks years ago. The war in Kentucky. We take the following from the Nashville Banner, of the 24th inst.: We announce with pride and pleasure that the drums have sounded a forward reveille in Kentucky. The enemy have been driven pell-mell across Green river, and Gen. Hardee pursued them, in full force. He is animated by a firm resolution never to allow them to desecrate the southern bank of that stream with their foot-prints again. He will hardly stop, however, with this brave determination, nor pause on our side of the rubicon. We shall probably hear very shortly of our army, or a portion of it, being thrown across to the northern shore instead; in which event, we are bound to demolish the whole posses of Yankee marauders and Dutch infid

news from England. [correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Nashville. Dec. 22, 1861. We have various reports, from persons who recently came through under a flag of truce, of the strength of the enemy's army at and approaching Green River, threatening Gen. Johnston's command. The Lincoln journals in Kentucky and Ohio estimate the number at seventy to ninety thousand; some of our Southern friends who have come through place the number at a hundred thousand or more; while the mo engagement is expected to take place. The sickness in the enemy's camp is represented as very great. Some of the regiments were said to be but little more than skeletons of what they were. Still, the force aggregated in the neighborhood of Green River and within call is large, not to be despised, composed of good fighting men from Kentucky and the Northwestern States, and well furnished with materials of war. Sixteen to twenty thousand have crossed the river, and seem to be preparing to adv

taining pilots, &c. Nashville, Dec. 30. --A special dispatch to the Louisville Courier from Hopkinsville states that Col. Forrest's cavalry, about 300 strong, and the Federal cavalry, with about the same number, met at Sacramento, on Green river, on Saturday last, when a skirmish ensued. About fifty Federals were killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. Our loss was Capt. H. Clay Meriwether, of Louisville, and one private killed, and one private wounded. The enemy fled in great confuswho has just arrived here, and who left Louisville on Christmas day, says that pilots cannot be obtained for the Federal gun-boats which were destined to go down the Mississippi river. They say that they are afraid of the submarine batteries placed at different points in the river. It is reported here that the Louisville Journal has announced that there will be no forward movement on Bowling Green or Green river until Lincoln's position on the slavery question is satisfactorily defined.

n. Floyd's brigade, &c. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Nashville, Dec. 27, 1861. The activity displayed by the enemy a few days ago near Green river, threatening apparently Bowling Green, has resulted in nothing but to cause us to strengthen our position more, and to make greater preparations to meet them. e Federals, estimated as high as sixty to seventy thousand men, prepared to march on Bowling. Green, and as a large column of it having crossed to this side of Green river, some uneasiness was felt. We believed that Gen. Johnston, with inferior numbers, could whip the enemy, but felt that against such odds the accidents and chancthe best and bravest men without producing any other result than that of successfully defending ourselves. But the enemy have not had courage to advance beyond Green river. A large portion of the force that crossed to this side has recrossed. Gen. Buell is making himself as famous by his marches and counter-marches as the ancien

Sir: --At 8 o'clock, A. M., on the 17th inst., I moved towards Woodsonville for the purpose of breaking up the railroad from the vicinity of that place Southward. My force consisted of 1,100 infantry and four pieces of artillery. When within two and a half miles of Woodsonville, concealed from the enemy's view, I halted the column and ordered forward Colonel Terry's Rangers, to occupy the heights of my right, left and front; and Major Phifer's cavalry to watch the crossings of Green River still further to my left. These orders having been executed, and no force of the enemy or pickets seen, I advanced the column till the right reached the railroad. This brought me within three quarters of a mile of the river and the enemy, but still concealed, except a small body of cavalry upon the extreme left. Here a company of rangers was detached to observe the enemy from Rowlett's Knob, which was to my right, across the railroad. A strip of timber-bordered the river parallel

night and day. We are nearly ready on this hill (College Hill) for any advance the Lincolnites may make. We are busy mounting our heavy guns, and when they are mounted we will give the enemy a hot reception as we have always done, and whip them well. We are on the eve of a great battle here. It must come in a few days, more or less, and perhaps by the time you receive this you may hear of one of the bloodiest battles being fought that has yet occurred. The enemy are certainly crossing Green river in large force. We have a good force and will give them battle. My regiment has orders to be ready to move at a moment's warning. Our men are all eager for the fight, and will go into it with the determination to conquer or die. You may look out for good reports from the Tennessee boys when they get a chance to fight. Speaking of the encounter in which Col. Terry was killed, he writes: We lost the gallant Col. Terry and three of his men, but we killed a hundred of the enemy

Rousseau and staff, including Surgeon Wm. H.

There are no Federals, with the exception of a few scouts, on this side of Green river, yet the military authorities expect an attack. Late accounts from beyond Green river represent the Federals as still receiving large reinforcements. Memphis, Jan. 2.--The reported resignation of Gen.

From Nashville. will Gen. Buell attack Gen. Johnston?--anxiety of the Confederates for a fight — importance of Defeating the Yankees — the news from England. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Nashville, Dec. 30, 1861. Will General Buell with his forty, fifty, or sixty thousand men, or with whatever force he has — for it is variously estimated from forty to eighty thousand--attack General Johnston at Bowling Green, or at any other strong position this side of Green river?--That is the question justing of greatest interest in this part of the country. According to rumor, a battle has been imminent every day for more than a week past.--Many of our citizens, who had ambition to see a fight and to have a hand in one, left their peaceful vocations, and went to Bowling Green a few days ago, under the full conviction they would be gratified. They returned, however, without smelling gunpowder. There is a continual flow and ebb of public opinion, with respect to a<
