Captain Jeffrey's artillery were placed in battery in the woods, supported by Colonel Trigg's 54th Virginia regiment. Colonel Moore's 29th Virginia regiment was thrown upon a hill east of the east fork of the creek, and Colonel Williams's Kentucky regiment occupied a higher hill, to the right of Moore's regiment.

After waiting patiently for an hour, the enemy were seen advancing up the valley of the creek, and scattering themselves upon a range of hills opposite our position. About 1 o'clock P. M. a small party of cavalry showed themselves immediately in front of the artillery, apparently reconnoitering our position. Capt. Holliday's company of Kentucky cavalry opened fire upon them, and then fell back, when a shell was thrown into their midst from one of our guns. The enemy immediately fell back--three saddles being empty. This may be regarded as

Our forces retained their position until after dark, when they fell back in good order — being compelled to do so to procure subsistence, the enemy having cut us off from our only mill. Colonel Trigg's regiment was held as a reserve, and did not participate in the fight. The gallant fellows were anxious to do so, and were quite restive under the restraint. But as the enemy were repulsed without their assistance, they will have to earn t

Independent companies, both of cavalry and infantry, are being rapidly organized.--The blood of Kentuckians is roused at last by recent developments, and brave determined men, are coming forward to the rescue of the State. The fact that Hon. W. C. Preston, now General Preston, is to lead the newly raised Kentucky troops authorized by the Provisional Government, is working with the potency of a charm.

They are responding to the call, and before long so great will be the accessions, that the General will be able to take the field in active service. Arrival of bridge burners. Lieut. W. F. Parker, Company H, 29th Regiment, (says the Asheville, N. C., News,) got on the trail of a couple of Tennessee bridge burners last week, and with a squad of his men followed them into this State, and arrested them some 12 or 15 miles north of this place, at 1 o'clock in the morning. A Contemptible act. We learn from the Lynchburg Republican. of the 20th inst., that during Friday

A Contemptible act. We learn from the Lynchburg Republican. of the 20th inst., that during Friday night the Confederate flag which has been flying from the yard of John C. L. Goggin, Esq., of that city, was forcibly torn down by some traitorous scoundrel, the flag-staff broken in two, and the cord by which the flag was hoisted cut up into small fragments. The flag itself was torn into latter, and from its appearance when found, would seem to indicate that the guilty party desired particularly to strip the stars from it, as not a vestige of any of them was left.

d. I have not been able to get their names. Late and interesting from Kentucky--the enemy reported five thousand strong on this side of Green River. From an interesting letter in the Nashville Union and American, under date of Bowling Green, Jan. 10, we extract the following: It is pretty well settled that the enemy, in what exact force it is impossible to state, is this side of Green River, having crossed at the recently repaired bridge near Munfordsville. An officer in Colonel Hanson's second Kentucky regiment came down from our advance yesterday. He states that while on a scouting expedition toward Green, River he and his friends distinctly saw the Federal tents. They counted four hundred tents and estimate their force at five thousand men. They are encamped at Rowlett's Station, some four miles from the bridge. Other accounts, all varying in detail, however, confirm the report that they are this side of the river. Some stoutly assert that there is no enemy this
