s pretty well Unionized. From Lebanon Junction, ten miles towards Louisville, is Shepardsville, at the crossing of Salt River, a very wide, but shallow stream, with low banks and a wide valley. Shepardsville is principally remarkable for its submissionism and lightning whiskey. After passing through a country studded with isolated and conical hills, we come to a very remarkable swamp called Ash Pond, six miles wide, and twelve miles from Louisville. From here to Louisville the country is a slightly undulating plain, with small creaks running through it, and studded with ponds. The public can see by this attempted reconnaissance, that if Gen. Buckner gets possession of the western passes of Muldraugh's hill, that there are none but artificial obstacles — such as Ronesser — to prevent him from occupying Louisville, which had by its last census 76,210 inhabitants. From there, co-operation with Gen. Zollicoffer towards Frankfort and Lexington is comparatively easy. Kentuckia

South running off upon a level with its summit; while the country towards Louisville is some 600 feet lower, with deep and narrow valleys running up into the hill. It forms a magnificent line of defence, as, although not very high, it can be crossed at but few points. The Lebanon Branch railroad starts from the main line, 30 miles from Louisville, and two North of "Rolling Fork," and running through several very hot Union towns, reaches Lebanon, 37 miles off. This place is as large as Bowling Green, but not of so much importance, and is pretty well Unionized.

It starts in a high bluff upon the latter river, twenty miles west of Louisville, and increasing in height as it goes, can be traced 300 miles East to its junction with the Cumberland mountains. Two-thirds of the State is South of this range. The country North is anning through it, and studded with ponds. The public can see by this attempted reconnaissance, that if Gen.
