s ordered that when it gave out the fort would be defended with the bayonet as long as a man remained alive, which determination was received with hearty cheers by all the troops. The negroes in the fort, 220 in all, fought with great gallantry. All was quiet at Paducah yesterday, our forces being engaged in burying the dead. The enemy had six small cannon. About fifty buildings were burned, including the hospital, gas works, and some of the finest residences in the town. The Custom-House, Post-Office, and Continental were not injured. Our troops consisted of the 40th Illinois infantry, Colonel Hicks, a battalion of negroes, and one regiment — name not yet known. The New York Tribunes, noticing Forrest's raid, says: There is something wrong — very far wrong — in West Tennessee, when a body of rebels that fought us not long since in Mississippi, can ride up from thence across Tennessee and Kentucky and attack our posts on the Ohio river.

Indiana, we believe, is the only State that has been always in advance of calls for troops. It is now stated that on the first day of February last that State had furnished her quota under all calls, and had an excess or seven thousand three hundred and thirty men, not including re-enlisted veterans. To this excess is to be added the number of men mustered into the old and new regiments since the first of February, and the number supposed to be enlisted not mustered in, and a number of re-enlisted veterans, in all estimated at seventeen thousand men, making the total excess about twenty-four thousand men. Gen. Sigel, who has just assumed command of the Department of West Virginia, had a narrow escape from capture by the rebels a few days since.

Forrest's raid — his capture of prisoners at Union city — his reported repulse at Paducah. The accounts of Gen. Forrest's progress in his raid are contradictory. He captured Union City, Tenn., with about 500 Federals, under Col. Hawkins, and, it appears, took his prisoners along with him, as he still had them when he appeared in front of Paducah, Ky., on the 26th. The following is the Yankee account of what they claim to be his repulse at that place: Gen. Forrest had about 7,000 men in the attack on Paducah. His line of battle was 2½ miles long. The fight lasted all the afternoon. Four assaults were made on the fourteen masse, each of which was repulsed with great slaughter to the enemy. The gunboats fired 600 rounds. A large portion of the town is in ruins. The rebels plundered the stores and carried off horses during the fight. Forty co

Burnett, and other rebel Kentuckian. He was also told that these gentlemen had come for the purpose of preparing the people for the approaching arrival of Breckinridge and Buckner. The Louisville Journal of the 18th, in speaking of the expected rebel raid into Kentucky, says that not a few Kentucky rebels in the South hansack her throughout her whole extent, sweeping away everything of value and leaving her stripped and desolate. The Journal considers that the main purpose of Breckinridge's movement into Western Virginia is an evasion of Kentucky, and that there is no doubt that a powerful force under Buckner or Presion, or both, strengthened by

and with small loss, 250 prisoners, eight heavy guns, and two field pieces, fell into our hands, and all the munitions of war. The main body of the enemy, 5,000 strong under the rebel General Walker, made their escape. Highly important from Grant's Army. That very soft people, the Yankees, are reading news dispatches such as this we find in the New York Herald, dated Washington, March 30th. The effort seems to be to "push up the man on horseback" into the niche of a hero before they know whether he will fit or not: Accounts from the field represent the greatest enthusiasm prevailing in the Army of the Potomac in favor of Gen. Grant. His quiet, unassuming, and unpretentious style pleases all. He refuses special trains and cars for his exclusive use, and says he requires but one seat. His notions of economy in transportation preclude the occupation of a whole car for one man, and the use of an engine for his own transportation exclusively, when there are always others

Breckinridge is advancing upon the Kentucky line, with the intention of raising the country in insurrection, adds a great deal to the excitement of the people. A few days ago a rumor was spread that Gen. Longstreet had sent away most of his artillery and wagons by railroad, and that he was marching upon Cumberland Gap. at the head of thirty thousand men. When this news reached Kentucky most of the farmers in Harland, Letcher, Knox, and other adjoining counties, left their farms and took the way of Manchester. The idea of an invasion of the State by the rebels is now a fixed opinion, and not an hour elapses without some rumors of their advance being circulated among the inhabitants. A gentleman living in Monticello assures us that most of the Kentucky delegation representing the State in the rebel Congress at Richmond have returned and are inciting the people to revolt.

The Journal considers that the main purpose of Breckinridge's movement into Western Virginia is an evasion of Kentucky, and that there is no doubt that a powerful force under Buckner or Presion, or both, strengthened by John Morgan's, Forrest's, and Champ Ferguson's cavalry, will co-operate with him in the invasion.
