, correspondent of the Nashville Republican, writing under date of the 2d inst, given the following particulars of the engagement near Rumeay, Kentucky: News of the brilliant achievement of some of our cavalry have already reached you. The partitioners of the engagement are about these. On the afternoon of the 28th, about three hundred of Colonel Forrest's cavalry encountered near the same number of Jim Jackson's (Federal) cavalry, about 9 miles south of the town of Rumsey, on Green river. The Federals were led by Major, formerly Captain W. S. D. Megowan, who you remember was at one time high sheriff of the city of Louisville. As the two narlies met warm work immediately commenced, our men cutting and slashing right and left. Our boys made quick work of the job before them.

Deserters from the Yankee army in Kentucky. --The Bowling Green Courier, of the 4th inst., says: Captain Eston, a deserter from the Lincoln army at Calhoun, on Green river, reached General Clark's headquarters, at Hopkinsville, on Tuesday night last. He reports the army at that point as being demoralized — desertions occur daily, and threats of mutiny are openly and defiantly made. He states that dissatisfaction pervades the army generally, and whenever a favorable opportunity presents itself he is satisfied they will desert by thousands. He gives it as his opinion that quite a small body of Southern troops could drive Crittenden and his entire command into the Ohio river. They have been so trained, to running, they would "take water" upon the first approach of danger. Four other deserters reported themselves at General Clark's headquarters on Wednesday last. They have seen the elephant, and are satisfied with the sight. Not less than fifty desertions have occur

rong, on a foraging expedition in the neighborbood of Bolivar. They were saluted by a few shells from the Parrott guns belonging to a section of Col. Knapp's Union artillery, which made them move off rapidly in a contrary direction to that intended by them. Five thousand rebels were reviewed at Leesburg yesterday. The news from Kentucky is very important. The rebels, under Generals Johnston and Buckner, have destroyed a large portion of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad beyond Green river, burhing all the material of which it was constructed that could be thus con At last advices they were engaged in blowing up the tunnel, which is some three hundred feet in length. There is nothing of particular interest reported by the arrival of the transports Roanoke and Cahawba from Port Royal. Com.

From Kentucky. Nashville, Jan. 7. --(via New Orleans, Jan. 8.)--A gentleman has arrived here direct from Louisville, who states that the Federal army, between Louisville and Bowling Green, numbers about 100,000, and that about 25,000 of this number are unfit for military duty, mostly caused by sickness. The Federals are pushing forward the work on the Green River bridge, which was expected to be completed in a few days; after which time it was probable a Federal onward movement will be made towards Bowling Green. Another gentleman, who has just reached here from Paducah, says it was reported there that the Federals intend to concentrate a force of one hundred thousand men at that place. It was currently reported here (Nashville) this evening, that the Federals were crossing Green river with considerable force.

e had so long commanded. This revolution has seemed to change his whole nature. He has lied over and over again, out of whole cloth; he has duped and deceived his best friends; and now he revels and glories in the camp of the enemy, by the side of Rosecrans. The sight is more pitiable, when we consider, that though, in his mental dotage, he still retains the strength of youth, as crect and unbent as ever, and as bold and as loud-mouthed as of yore. From Kentucky — cannonading near Green river — Blowing up of a Brider. The Nashville Republican and Banner publishes a very interesting letter from Bowling Green, Ky., dated the 30th ult., from which we make the following extract: On the 27th heavy cannonading was for some time kept up by the Federals, who occupy a position beyond Cave City. Sixty or seventy shells were fired from their long-range guns, making the hills thunder with their terrible music, and old Mammoth Cavern rumble with the sublime reverberations. This

nden, &C. From the Louisville Courier, of the 7th instant, we copy the following: A report reached this place through several distinct channels that on the day after the fight at Sacramento, Gen. Crittenden shipped his artillery down Green river, and it was understood in the neighborhood of Calhoun that the destination was Louisville.--Connected with this, was a report that Calhoun had been evacuated. We understand that an artillery Captain and several men who had deserted from Cgantown, confirms our reports that there is great dissatisfaction among the Kentuckian at the abolition documents of the President and Cameron. From a source which seems worthy of credit we learn that the Federals have nearly finished the Green river bridge. It was reported by a gentleman just returned from Cave City that the Federals had begun to erect fortifications on the ground where Col. Terry fell. This is not very probable.

hile yet the corn is ungathered, and also in the cotton-fields while the bolls are white with King Cotton. The earth is lapped around the stalks, and the middle of the row is thrown out, as Virginians "lay by" corn. In the spring, before the wheat gets in the boot, they cut down the stalks. While this is a rough mode of farming, it affords full time for the crops to mature, and still accomplishes the seeding of wheat in due season. It is rumored here that the Federals are crossing Green River in force. Buell is said to be sending over six or eight regiments every day. Still, the impression here is that there will be no fight. It is an impossible thing to learn the truth where there are so many and such conflicting statements. I shall reach Bowling Green to-morrow, and the readers of the Dispatch may rest assured that I will avail myself of all opportunities to obtain the latest and most reliable information. I shall take care not to mislead, but, if possible, to enlighten
