Capt. Ben. F. Egan arrived in our city yesterday, direct from Smithland, and gives us information in regard to the landing of the Hessians, which he witnessed. The steamer Empress came up the Ohio river on Tuesday evening, 24th inst., with a regiment of infantry, and a company of cavalry, Federal troops, who disembarked and quietly took possession of the town. The citizens made no resistance; the women and children, however, welcomed them with oft-repeated cheers for Jeff. Davis. The officer issued no proclamation, nor held any communication whatever with the citizens. The entire command were evidently in great fear and alarm, and one hundred determined men could have put the whole pack of them to flight. Capt. Egan informs us that there are only 8,500 hogs at Paducah, and that they are in constant fear and alarm of an attack, and that they have fortified themselves by digging a ditch on one side of the town, and a bridge of boats over the river to secure their flight.
